The Sat Standard - March 7th, 2020
This week in bitcoin. Straight to the point. No bullshit. Every Saturday.

Thought of the week from Marty Bent:
The crisis of confidence that is looming over the Fed, the banking system, the stock market, and the federal government is most certainly not priced in.
Neither is the halving.
Thought of the week from Matt Odell:
Coinjoin is not mixing.
You retain custody. You do not receive someone else's bitcoin. It is a batched bitcoin send with additional best practices taken into account. The result is new utxos without discernible history.
Coinjoin is not suspicious. It is simply the most responsible way to use bitcoin.
