I am Mia Thompson, a Blockchain Reporter specializing in Altcoins, and I am from Mexico. My day-to-day work consists of exploring the ecosystem beyond Bitcoin. For years, I have been closely following emerging projects, evaluating their real usefulness and technological proposals using a methodology based on research and rigorous information gathering. My goal is to offer you a different perspective on what is really happening in the new digital economy. I am also passionate about dissecting Layer 1 (L1s) networks and their infrastructure, as they are the foundation of everything we build. I also devote much of my work to covering regulation, translating complex policies into clear explanations of how legal changes affect the ecosystem.
