News Fix: Decentralization Is the New Normal
Disintermediation. It’s an interesting word. It essentially means “cutting out the middleman.” It also describes much of the world around us (including crypto) at this particular moment. Consider Brett McMurphy. If you’ve never heard of him, that’s OK. He’s one of the best college football reporters around. And he was fired by ESPN in April of last year in a…
