Howdy all,

Please excuse my absence as of late; I recently relocated across the States and have been quite busy with some pressing affairs. That said, I do intend to return to the EC platform with a renewed vigor, offering even more research and insights into blockchain-based technologies and the projects that are bringing them into the purview of the public at-large.

This Summer, I want to explore various macro-concepts in the crypto-financial space. We'll be looking at overviews of crypto-financial regulation and law (incl. ICOs versus STOs), layer 2 solutions and amendments to projects with which we are familiar, and even futurist estimations of some of the most radical potential use cases in blockchain technology.

Furthermore, I will be resuming the weekly Q&A episodes, albeit on an admittedly protean basis - namely due to the aforementioned affairs. Nevertheless, I will do my best to accommodate any and all questions insofar as they abide by my long-standing criterion: I do not provide investment advice. You are always welcome to email me your questions (in fact, I encourage this); I can answer your questions prior to my recording the respective Q&A episode (i.e. you won't have to wait).

Last, I have been publishing many of my articles on the Medium platform, as it affords me a larger audience than Blogger. To be candid, the association of my name with the information I disseminate is pretty negligible - I sincerely just want to offer information to as many people as is possible. In other words, I don't have much interest in scaling my name or platform so much as I am passionate about offering empirically-driven, impartial education in the crypto space. If someone else's platform will allow me to do that, I'll gladly use it. So, be sure to find me there.

Best,
Matthew
