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.

A new crypto scammer has been chosen.

@0xShikhar Very cool, thanks for putting it together

1/ The text version was a massive public good, so I decided to bring it to life. 🌐 turned it into a modern web app that makes crypto fundamentals actually intuitive to learn. 👇

@taegeongo @FrankResearcher Amazing, did you manually check if the translation is good? I’m happy to add translation subsection to my README

@lawmaster @FrankResearcher Just made Korean version with automated updates github.com/gtg7784/howcry…

1/ Today I’m releasing an open-source book in collaboration with @FrankResearcher that I wish existed when I started in crypto. It’s split into 15 chapters covering everything that matters - from BTC to DeFi, MEV, Hyperliquid, quantum resistance, etc. github.com/lawmaster10/ho…

@jeffjohnroberts @FrankResearcher Not yet, first I need to address all of the feedback in the following weeks, add some graphics, citations etc. Then we call that v1 and publish on Amazon as free Kindle book

@lawmaster @FrankResearcher Well done! Is there an easy way to get a paper or Kindle version?

@0xYager @FrankResearcher Appreciate it. Next steps before publishing on Amazon as v1 are: 1. Integrating and addressing feedback 2. Creating figures, diagrams, schematics 3. Adding citations and references

Read a couple sections -- super good in places. Feedback -- the book lacks citations or references. Whether its phrases or concepts that I know originate from others or just plain 'ole good referencing for additional education of readers, you should consider taking the time and effort to add them to the book before publishing.

@privacy_prophet @FrankResearcher Sure as long as it: 1. doesn't shill any nice products 2. explains topics that I view as important the goal of this book is really to cover what matters in a way everyone should understand, not going for complete comprehensiveness

@lawmaster @FrankResearcher this is nice. Are you open to a PR explaining the deeper cryptography primitives and how they enable this trustless architecture on the internet ?

@nic_carter @FrankResearcher Appreciate it. Would love to hear feedback if you have any on that chapter

@lawmaster @FrankResearcher the quantum chapter is great!

1/4 After years in this space, one thing stands out: most people are missing pieces of the foundation That’s why @lawmaster and our research team (🐐 @emparedad0) collaborated on a book about the most important crypto concepts👇 x.com/lawmaster/stat…

6/ If you know someone who has always wanted to get into crypto and didn't know where to start, send this their way. Would love to hear their feedback as well

5/ Here is a full list of all 15 chapters - a total of about 100k words
