The Brilliance of Bloomberg’s Matt Levine

Of all the business and technology writers out there, including bloggers, I think the best one, at this moment, is Matt Levine. He’s the only person currently writing on Planet Earth that I find myself reading every word of everything he writes.

For the last few months, he has been mostly writing about three topics:

The Twitter Elon Musk Soap OperaWhy (and How) Much of Crypto Is A Plain, Old, Ponzi SchemeOther Crazy and Fucked Up Things in Finance

For a flavor of his writing, read the following 11 chapters of Matt’s writing (listed in chronological order). Then, subscribe to his newsletter and get a magnificent medium-form article in your inbox every other day or so.
