==Molly White==
From [https://www.mollywhite.net/ Molly's website]:
I research and write critically about the cryptocurrency industry and technology more broadly in the [https://www.citationneeded.news/ Citation Needed] newsletter. I also run the websites [https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/ Web3 is Going Just Great], where I highlight examples of how cryptocurrencies, web3 projects, and the industry surrounding them are failing to live up to their promises, and [https://www.followthecrypto.org/ Follow the Crypto], where I track cryptocurrency industry spending in the 2024 election cycle. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to make a better, more human-centered web, and am a passionate advocate for free and open access, digital sovereignty, and ethical technology.
I regularly speak to journalists and do media appearances. I also have given talks and guest lectures, and have advised policymakers and regulators in and outside of the United States.
Before veering into spending so much of my time thinking about cryptocurrency and its implications for the web and society, I was a professional software engineer.
I have also been an active editor of the English Wikipedia for over fifteen years, where I edit under the username [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GorillaWarfare GorillaWarfare]. I am an administrator and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Functionaries functionary], and previously served three terms on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee Arbitration Committee]. I care deeply about free and open access to high-quality information, and view projects like Wikipedia as critical infrastructure.

Molly has intelligent takes on issues of concern to Code4Lib. For example, here's her take on Controlled Digital Lending: [https://www.citationneeded.news/hachette-v-internet-archive/ Big publishers think libraries are the enemy]. She is likely to enjoy and learn from Code4Lib as we enjoy and learn from her.
