I broke into comms by getting really good at finding reporters’ email addresses so my tiny agency didn’t have to pay for Muck Rack

got a lot of messages in the last 24h, some feedback that a lot of people could benefit from: there is no excuse for using passive, indirect language in your writing if you want something, don't just say you want it as with every piece of work, you need to think about it from the audience's POV, and empathise with their situation, needs, etc, and then deliver against that be confident, be compelling, be creative, be attention grabbing, be contextually relevant don't say you want something, make a no-brainer case for why you should have the thing that's impossible to ignore

Lil announcement - since the beginning of the year, I've started working on Onramps here at Coinbase! We say this all the time as an industry, but onramping (aka buying stablecoins/crypto outside of a centralized exchange) still hasn't been solved. The biggest complaints I usually hear are 2 fold: 1) Still *expensive* -> Why does it cost me $5 + 2% to go from USD -> USDC? 2) The transaction itself just *fails* -> Why are my transactions getting rejected all the time? There's several reasons for why this happens specifically to onramps today, which I'll cover as separate deep dives.

Dear PR: I am BEGGING you to do basic homework on reporters' beats before pitching. Literally, just SKIM our recent bylines. I used to provide brief feedback on every non-spam PR pitch. That's now impossible, thanks to scattershot, abjectly irrelevant pitches. As much as I'd love to invest in a securitized tranche of trailer parks in Alabama.

Crypto is still early. The real challenge is updating the financial system. A stronger ecosystem increases liquidity, participation, and trust, and that benefits everyone. Had a great time diving into how we're walking the walk at @Coinbase 👇

stablecoin supply continues to climb even when broader crypto markets pull back in case it isn't obvious, we're all in on driving stablecoin growth @coinbase - coinbase is the distribution engine driving USDC growth, with record balances across Coinbase products (+$17.8B as of end of Q4) - we've developed a vertically integrated stack for stablecoins across issuance, Base L2 (settlement layer), consumer and agentic wallets, and our user-facing products (Coinbase, Prime, Coinbase Business) - coinbase is a platform that supports many stablecoins and serves as a primary liquidity venue and custodian -- well positioned as we see more stablecoins emerge and continued growth in overall supply

⚡️ JUST IN: The Stablecoins Market Cap just hit a new ATH of $313B.

Today I start the next chapter of my career! I am incredibly excited to join @TheBlockCo as Head of Multimedia. For the past 14 years, I've worked as a multimedia journalist and broadcaster. I believe in journalistic integrity and ethics. When I spoke to @lawmaster , @XBT002 @Timccopeland earlier this year, I could really feel that was a core part of the DNA of the company. I also got the feeling that The Block was a place I could continue to learn AND help grow from a multimedia perspective. So I decided to go for it! And that is the task ahead of me. I believe The Block is one of the bastions of quality journalism in the cryptocurrency space. Hopefully, I can do my part to solidify that position. If you want to reach out about events, news, leads, content ideas. Drop me an email - gjenkinson@theblock.co. We are going to be doing A LOT across the board from a multimedia perspective. But today is day one, and we have to learn to walk before we can run.
