The Sat Standard
This week in bitcoin. Straight to the point. No bullshit. Every Saturday.
Thought of the week from Marty Bent:
Don’t let them tell you there’s no inflation. 

Thought of the week from Matt Odell:
Tracking bitcoin users is a very profitable business. Chainalysis just raised $100M at a $2 BILLION valuation for doing just that. Their former CTO now runs the US Government's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network Agency (FinCEN).
