The Sat Standard
This week in bitcoin. Straight to the point. No bullshit. Every Saturday.
Thought of the week from Marty Bent:
The noise is only going to get louder.

Thought of the week from Matt Odell:
Bitcoiners should be critical of everyone but especially ourselves. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard. The Bitcoin Standard.
