I'm looking for institutional investors who have invested in a basket of cryptocurrencies. If you are one, or know one who would be happy to talk to me, can you get in touch?
The best word I have ever written in my career as a journalist was when I wrote a piece about @Scaramucci that ended with calling him a “popinjay”. The truth can now be told: That word wasn’t my idea, it was suggested by the great @jledbetter, an indelible force for generations of NY journalists. The world is a grayer, sadder place without him.
