Want to give a shout out to @DailyChainNews and @alexlibertas_ today.

Alex built this platform almost single handedly (at first at least) with absolutely no funding. Totally bootstrapped. He even built the first iteration of the site himself.

The platform has since grown into one of the more recognisable blockchain news outlets and marketing partners. 100k~ readers p/m.

<10% of the content is sponsored. Most of it is original (I write for them occasionally too) and they employ over 10 people now!

That's 10+ people they've given the opportunity to work in the space, from just a startup idea around a year ago, to a team of 10.

Some people don't like the way they operate. Hell even @VitalikButerin called them out once over some Tron4.0/Eth2.0 article.

But the truth is they are learning, adapting and evolving in a very fast moving space. They are giving people the opportunity to work and earn, and they are trying to release objective community based content as much as they can.

If you don't like how someone operates then just leave them alone or give constructive criticism - they will listen. It's easy to tell who is winning and who isn't by how they treat others.

Startups aren't easy... good job to @DailyChainNews team.
