After two years, I’m sad to say Monday was my last day at @CoinDesk.

I’m proud of the editorial team and all the amazing work we did, which included FTX coverage that won a @PolkAwards. Yesterday (timely!), we were also named a finalist in the @LoebAwards.

26 years ago, a gunman entered
Dunblane Primary School in Scotland,
killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK
govt responded by enacting tight gun

since, there have been a total of O
