Welcome to Issue #4 of the Crypto Croissant, a weekly roundup of the most progressive news within the cryptocurrency and blockchain world.

P.S. It would mean a lot if you could share the newsletter to your networks using the links at the bottom of the email!

Roundup:

Kraken (and now Binance) are offering six figures to anyone who can find the missing Quadriga funds, the relevant wallets where the funds should have been stored, are empty.

A #DeleteCoinbase movement has been started after their acquisition of Neutrino, which was founded by three former employees of the ‘Hacking Team’ who were caught selling spyware to governments. Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong addresses this directly.

One of the earliest adopters of Bitcoin, Kyle Torpey takes the ‘Opinion’ limelight this week as he discusses cryptocurrencies that aren’t really cryptocurrencies (you’ll be surprised by some of them).
