Molly White had excellent writeups for the entire trial. She even did excellent multi-hour livestreams going over her notes for the portion of the trial where she was physically present at the courtroom. https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/s/the-ftx-files https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/s/the-ftx-files

Molly has done a poor job covering the cryptocurrency industry in general.

  You misspelt "excellent" there. (Seriously, if you're going to claim that Molly White of all people did a bad job covering cryptocurrency you're going to need to bring receipts.)

    Of course. First, she calls the industry, "a grift". I've been in deeply into crypto since 2012 and dismissing peer-to-peer digital cash nothing but a "scam" in 2023 ignores a decade of progress and hard work, not to mention an actual working product used by thousands of people a year. Everyone actually using Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Monero know that 99.999% of what is out there is a scam for morons. Main exhibit would be her editorializing (not reporting) of the industry with her site, https://web3isgoinggreat.com/ https://web3isgoinggreat.com/. Here she posts only negative articles or opinions cherry picked for highlight issues with crypto. Every "hack", every rug-pull, every scam token. In my opinion its a HUGE waste of time and not useful or interesting. The website she should have built for Web3isGoingGreat.com would be VERY simple, just a like to the home pages for Bitcoin White Paper, then the Monero and Bitcoin Cash home pages. Thats all anyone needs to know about crypto, the rest is a scam.

        It's an unlicensed security at the very least. But yes, it's closer to a scam than a a useful currency.

      If you think the rest is a scam, do you at least appreciate all of the articles she's written that help illustrate that point?

        She focuses 100% on the scams which are the least interesting part of the industry but gets the most attention.

      As someone who has been into crypto for a similar amount of time I can confirm that this analysis of the state of the crypto landscape is accurate.
