Objectively very cool that @AriJuels turned The Oracle into a comic for USECASE - a new limited-edition magazine exploring what crypto enables, featuring stories from some of the best journalists covering the space.
A smashing Gotham-City style comic rendering of the first few chapters of THE ORACLE by illustrator Bill Bragg ( https://t.co/lmbUn5dvsE). Appearing in USECASEāa new high-gloss print (yes, print) magazine ( https://t.co/Tpu2TnkUXb)āas an insert on comic book paper.

And firms are pivoting to data and research? Step is actually pivoting to news and journalismā¦
