I was a bit busy recording the "The Short STOry Academy" lecture on the economics of bitcoin mining [1] today, so there is no news podcast. Have a look though at the "The CoinDesk 50" article [2] linked in the notes, and the associated twitter thread [3]. Good intro to the good and great of crypto. Also next week's "Consensus: Distributed" virtual conference [4] is definitely something you should check out.
