The aim is a useful weekly aggregator of ideas rather than news. Though I try to keep the sources current – I’ll reference these articles and podcasts etc. as I encounter them – they may have been published just a couple of days ago or in some cases quite a bit earlier.* --- Also published on [TIMM](https://mentormarket.io/category/cryptocurrencies/). ![](https://i.imgur.com/9oTeE3z.png)
