I have noticed the same and agree with OP. I removed some blog and primary sources today, and one forbes source that actually said it was paid content. Please stop adding this type of content or we will lock the article to autoconfirmed editors. Thanks!

Blockstream employee here. Blockstream headquarters is not San Francisco. We don't really have a headquarters due to the distributed nature of our team. But if somewhere needs to be stated then would recommend Victoria, BC, Canada. Backup source:

Have you looked at the notice posted on your talk page? It outlines some of the policies we have regarding crypto articles. There are also warnings regarding your edits to Lolli which you surely must have noticed before the third time.

Liquid is on version 3.12 for example, IFF we had another good source that established that Liquid was notable and thus justified inclusion in the article in the first place. Thanks!

and Nwoodfine please note that there is an informal consensus in place that excludes social media and user generated content (as well as all other primary sources) as
