The final week of “The Digital Asset” Daily
I have tremendously enjoyed doing this newsletter over the last 3.5 years. Thanks for being such a great audience! Sadly, this will be the final week of "The Digital Asset" Daily. As my work responsibilities have evolved the time has come to redirect my morning attention elsewhere.
We have been including a subset of the stories from my daily in the (also daily and free) Messari newsletter. My colleagues will keep this up! You can sign up here.
The last Digital Asset Daily will be published this Friday, Jan 14.
Please stay in touch! You can connect with me on:
