I just won a prize

[Galaxy Research @glxyresearch]

Huge congratulations to @ZackPokorny_ and @wowens from @glxyresearch for winning the coveted prize in crypto research — Best Crypto Research from @ACJRnetwork

This for their work covering the dusting of OG bitcoin wallets by a client of “Salomon Brothers.” In addition to being a fascinating tale, and one that was of great and timely interest to the Bitcoin community, their report also has some of the most detailed and interesting analysis of onchain bitcoin data.

And @Nikopolos for best op-ed

1/ The masterful Trump Company scoop by this bevy of WSJ journalists @skesslr @rebeccaballhaus @eliotwb @AABerwick is a clear contender for first place in the crypto scoops category

A ‘scoop’ is not a document supplied by a business to discredit the competition. It does not land in your lap with the details nicely arranged with a beginning, a middle, and an end. In the world of crypto, where the desire for anonymity is as great as the potential for obfuscating wrongdoing, a true scoop is what happens when a journalist (or a group of journalists) peel back the covers until they find the cover-up.

While much has been made of the outward appearance of corruption within the Trump administration’s crypto ties, few (if any) investigations have tied the facts together in a manner that invites the reader to judge for themselves, with such a clear and compelling timeline and cast. This piece of reporting redefines the scope of a crypto investigation, and makes clear that the incentives, potential riches, and conflicts of interest that now engulf the digital asset landscape are now truly global.

[ACJR @ACJRnetwork]

2/ And to not pass over @Liam_Gallas piece on BlockDAG

The breadth of the investigation here is what sets it apart from other quality work in this category. Liam Kelly has widened his net to form a narrative of promises made, promises broken, and contracts breached - and illustrated his central thesis with multiple examples that expose the chicanery involved in the launch of a major crypto project. While others might have reviewed those contracts directly related to tokens, or simply repeated the concerns of disillusioned investors, Kelly finds an entire warren below the rabbit hole, and a pattern of behavior that forms its own story.
