Laura Shin @laurashin
Laura Shin is one of the most respected journalists in crypto. A former senior editor at Forbes, she was among the first mainstream reporters to cover digital assets full time, and she hosts Unchained, a long-running interview podcast that has featured nearly every major figure in the industry. She is also the author of The Cryptopians, a deeply reported book on Ethereum's founding era. Her feed blends episode releases, sharp questions about industry events, and journalism that prioritizes verification over hype. Followers get a reporter's skepticism applied to an industry that often lacks it, making her account a reference point for balanced coverage rather than promotion.
Why follow
- Unchained interviews surface primary-source detail from founders and regulators that rarely appears in written coverage
- Her questions model how to separate verifiable fact from narrative — useful discipline for anyone building in public
- Book-level research on Ethereum history gives context that explains today's governance and personality dynamics
