Citizen Journalism, Traditional Media, And The Rise Of On-Chain Analysis - Andrew Thurman

- While it likely went unnoticed in the calamity, during the collapse of FTX and Alameda an emergent citizen journalism movement took center stage and led the coverage as an army of blockchain sleuths identified and analyzed major updates before traditional and even crypto media outlets. - Concurrently, despite a grueling bear market the industry has witnessed the rise of a mainstream media establishment increasingly willing and capable of covering on-chain events such as stablecoin burns, centralized exchange reserves, and connections between blockchain addresses. - In tandem, these trends point to an irreversible rise in on-chain literacy that may have significant implications for privacy preservation on public blockchains. How will funds and other entities respond to this growing ‘investigatoooor’ movement? What does it mean for the future of blockchain research and analysis? And how can investors remain ahead of the curve? https://twitter.com/Blockanalia Andrew Thurman Head of Content Nansen Andrew Thurman is the Head of Content at Nansen.
