Because this is definitely the right time to do it, I'm going to list out my best work for @CoinDesk from 2019. #notlateatall 1/18
My best story of 2019 was definitely the deep dive I took into $EOS. As far as I can tell, time and tide has just born out more and more of the concerns highlighted therein. YMMV! 2/18 https://www.coindesk.com/everyones-worst-fears-about-eos-are-proving-true
2019 was the year of decentralized finance (DeFi) and @makerdao is the giant in that sector. I did a number of stories about its growing pains last year, but I think this was the most important. Is space money ready to back real stuff? It's dicey. 3/18 https://www.coindesk.com/a-loan-shark-situation-makerdao-is-leaving-crypto-borrowers-with-rising-bills-and-theyre-crying-foul
I like to write explainers. This one about how @PoolTogether_ and the original @Libra_ token model illustrate each other was my best of 2019, imho 4/18 https://www.coindesk.com/this-ethereum-lottery-perfectly-explains-how-facebooks-corporate-backers-will-profit-from-libra
I also noted that @UniswapExchange was effectively doing as much work as @bancor without a new token or giant ICO. I feel like time has settled any controversy on this one as well but, again, YMMV. 5/18 https://www.coindesk.com/bancor-uniswap-dex-competition
I spent a lot of time in early 2019 covering companies shedding staff, with lots of little layoff scoops. But this is the story that put the crypto winter narrative together. 6/18 https://www.coindesk.com/we-asked-66-startups-just-how-bad-this-crypto-winter-has-been
So those are the five that I will log forever on my website's portfolio page. To be updated presently. But let's highlight some narratives and little scoops too #overkill #QuarantineLife 7/18 https://bradydale.com/portfolio.html
NARRATIVE: DeFi. I covered the hell out of ethereum's potentially best feature. This post inspired by @twobitidiot was one I have kept coming back to 8/18 https://www.coindesk.com/the-big-question-at-ethereal-summit-ny-is-defi-enough-for-ethereum
NARRATIVE: Facebook's Libra. I was on that story long before any ink got spilled anywhere, but I couldn't land anything about it. This was the one piece of news I ever managed to squeeze out. Dangit. 9/18 https://www.coindesk.com/mit-economist-christian-catalini-said-to-be-working-on-facebooks-crypto-push
NARRATIVE: @SEC_News and crypto. I was working that as soon as I started at CoinDesk but @nikhileshde has ably taken it over. This was one of my two big contributions to it in 2019along with one more 10/18 https://www.coindesk.com/secs-first-crypto-no-action-letter-took-11-months-to-secure
NARRATIVE: Kik and the SEC. A subnarrative I helped with tracking because I've covered Kik since it first got into the crypto game. This @SEC_News lawsuit explainer was fun to do, but the hed should have been "7" @zackseward 
11/18 https://www.coindesk.com/the-8-biggest-bombshells-from-the-secs-kik-ico-lawsuit
NARRATIVE: ICOs later on. This story is all wrapped now, but @wsfoxley brought it home in the end. I also did one about @brave delivering that I think was a good contribution here. 12/18 https://www.coindesk.com/this-token-project-offered-to-shut-down-its-market-cap-shot-up-10m
NARRATIVE: Airdrops and their discontents. @keybaseio explained why these were easier said than done, with laudable candor. It probably helps explain the next item... 13/18 https://www.coindesk.com/stellar-tried-to-give-away-2b-xlm-tokens-on-keybase-then-the-spammers-came
Little scoop: @stellarorg burning its $XLM stash, live from Mexico 14/18 https://www.coindesk.com/stellars-foundation-just-destroyed-half-the-supply-of-its-lumens-cryptocurrency
Little scoop: Did Virgil really talk about sanctions in North Korea? 15/18 https://www.coindesk.com/sanctions-werent-discussed-at-north-korea-crypto-conference-attendee-says
Little scoop: Iceland and e-money 16/18 https://www.coindesk.com/icelandic-regulators-approve-startups-plan-for-fiat-payments-on-ethereum
Little scoop: the fate of Token Foundry (it was 
) 17/18 https://www.coindesk.com/is-consensys-startup-token-foundry-dead-or-doing-something-different
