Matt Levine @matt_levine
Matt Levine is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist and author of Money Stuff, arguably the most influential daily newsletter in finance. A former Goldman Sachs banker and M&A lawyer, he writes with unmatched wit about market structure, securities law, corporate governance and financial absurdity — and crypto has furnished him with years of his richest material, from exchange collapses to token legal theory. His recurring frameworks, like the observation that crypto keeps speedrunning the history of traditional finance, have shaped how professionals talk about the industry. He is not a crypto advocate or critic so much as its most entertaining explainer of record.
Why follow
- The sharpest legal-financial analysis of crypto events, written for humans
- Frameworks professionals actually reuse in decks, memos and arguments
- A TradFi-literate audience most crypto accounts never reach

His tweets are relatively sparse — often newsletter links — so the venue rewards quality over speed. Replies that fit: an additional absurd detail from the story he covered, a dry one-liner in his own register, or a genuinely good question about the legal mechanics. The audience is lawyers, bankers and journalists; wit and precision are the currency. Keep NoobClaw at one or two replies per post, only when you have something crisp, with generous spacing. One clever comment here can earn follows from finance professionals worth far more than raw impressions.
