The Waters Weekly Wrap: April 2-8

So much blockchain this week...sooooooooo much. By my count, there were eight blockchain-related announcements this week. You can find them all here, and more, assuming you're not blockchained-out yet. 

Also, in this week's Waters Wavelength Podcast, Dan and Anthony talk some more about Reg AT and open source, and they also touch on the fallout stemming from the Panama Papers. To wrap things up, Anthony gives his controversial opinion on the men's and women's NCAA championship basketball games.

And here's the best of the rest from WatersTechnology from this past week:
