I transitioned from a journalist to a news editor in 2020 but I still wrote a few good stories.
Here's my top 10
Here's my top 10
1) It all started with $20 million in ICO money and a bondage studio. But they were unrelated, the company claimed. https://decrypt.co/17138/holochain-denies-ico-funds-were-used-for-bondage-studio
2) Here's one of my favorite pieces. What you can do with on-chain data is amazing—and worrying. This articles serves as a reminder to think about your privacy when using crypto services. https://decrypt.co/19423/we-tracked-133000-ethereum-names-and-exposed-their-secrets
3) This was a pretty big story that was called a “Red Wedding" event. With the SEC cracking down on more cryptocurrencies, it will be interesting to see how these lawsuits are faring. https://decrypt.co/24532/class-action-lawsuits-filed-against-7-bitcoin-companies
4) The big event of 2020 was the halving. I was there in real time reporting live from the internet. Here's how it went down: https://decrypt.co/28490/the-bitcoin-halving-2020-just-happened-heres-what-you-missed
5) Steem was my biggest feature of the year. Took me months of research and a lot of interviews. It's a fascinating story, worth reading the whole thing. https://decrypt.co/38050/steem-steemit-tron-justin-sun-cryptocurrency-war
6) Here are four stories of when regular people fell down the Bitcoin rabbit hole and never left. I really enjoyed writing this piece. https://decrypt.co/41738/why-we-get-obsessed-with-bitcoin
7) In 2019, I'd spent months researching John McAfee's pay-for-play ICO tweets. So I had all the info I needed to write this up.

8) I like writing about what everyone is thinking. In this case, how the Bitcoin price was going nuts and yet everybody felt emotionless. Here's why. https://decrypt.co/49079/why-hasnt-bitcoin-mania-kicked-in-yet
9) Possibly my most interesting interview this year. Glassnode CTO Rafael Schultze-Kraft compared analysing the brain to analysing the Bitcoin blockchain.
He also revealed his most important Bitcoin metrics to watch. https://decrypt.co/50472/the-neuroscientist-who-became-a-bitcoin-data-guru

10) Finally, Bitcoin lending absolutely exploded this year. So I spoke to three executives from the biggest lending companies to get their insights on how the market grew in 2020 and what will happen in 2021. Super interesting. https://decrypt.co/52271/bitcoin-lending-services-exploded-in-2020-heres-why
