I'm excited to announce the launch of my new internet serial "Fintech Dystopia: A summer beach read about Silicon Valley ruining things," available at fintechdystopia.com. It's a sometimes irreverent and occasionally straight-up pissed off take on how Silicon Valley is making finance worse.

Newsletter: Coinbase’s sponsorship of Trump’s military parade angered some in the crypto world, who described the move as “an insult to everything our industry stands for”. But this is only the latest example of crypto companies aligning with state power.

www.citationneeded.news/issue-86/
In the White House Trump held his $40 million birthday boy military parade on June 14, and apparently offset the cost at least somewhat with contributions from the likes of Coinbase. This didn’t exactly sit well with some of the increasingly rare breed of crypto believers who still champion the technology’s early anti-establishment values. “What Coinbase did by sponsoring this army parade feels like an insult to everything our industry stands for. Crypto emerged from ideals of decentralization, individual sovereignty, and freedom from oppressive state control—not to funnel resources into institutions whose core purpose involves violence and ending lives,” wrote one crypto enthusiast.10 Another wrote, “I entered the crypto world in 2017 to stand against late stage capitalism...not help crypto bros fund it.”11 Megan Knab, CEO of a crypto payroll company, responded to the sponsorship by eulogizing the industry’s cypherpunk roots in a CoinDesk op-ed, where she wrote: “The ethos of crypto—the cypherpunk values that got us here—is being diluted, co-opted, and in some cases, directly betrayed.”12 A large stage for the military parade, with “US Army” at the top, and banners showing the Coinbase logo behind

An excellent new film by @Roisin_Agnew gave me the perfect excuse to write about the broadcasting ban I grew up in AND speak with Chris Morris about the Day Today sketch which remains its biggest cultural legacy.

On democracy, voice actors, and helium.

It’s finally time to release my newest project: FollowTheCrypto.org.

This website provides a real-time lens into the cryptocurrency industry’s efforts to influence 2024 elections in the United States.
A screenshot of the front page of FollowTheCrypto.org, showing total amounts raised by crypto-currency focused PACs ($203 million) and amounts spent ($38 million). There are also graphs showing expenditures by political party, and expenditures by PAC. There is a list of the top elections influenced by crypto industry money, of the most highly-funded super PACs overall, and of recent expenditures by crypto-focused committees.

Cryptocurrency companies have raised over $115 million to influence US elections this cycle, and they’re just getting started. We need to closely watch how cryptocurrency companies are influencing US politics.

Extremely excited to introduce Sunlight, a Certificate Transparency log backed by object storage, based on sumdb-style tiles, and with no merge delay.

It’s designed to be cheap, easy, and safe to operate, and to bring CT into the growing tlog ecosystem.
