Molly White — Researcher, software engineer, Wikipedian
Researcher, software engineer, and writer who focuses on the cryptocurrency industry, blockchains, web3, and tech more broadly.
mollywhite.netThe industry that promised it would free us from captured institutions has captured them itself.
Molly White made her name documenting crypto industry failures with surgical precision and deadpan wit, and has since expanded into broader tech accountability and political corruption. Her writing is dense with facts and light on filler — she arranges the evidence and trusts you to draw conclusions. The site itself is a model indie web presence: a living microblog, a curated blogroll with OPML export, and a longer-form newsletter (Citation Needed) for the investigative deep dives.
Written by Molly White since 2019.
