When you hear “blockchain,” are you picturing Bitcoin’s volatile market fluctuations. Or maybe a million-dollar Bored Ape JPEG. And sure, Tezos does do NFTs. But trying to pigeonhole it as simply “blockchain art” is like calling the internet a glorified email network. It's missing the whole point. It's a fundamental...
One of the most notable features that make Tezos unique in the blockchain industry is its energy-efficient proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanism. It’s seriously revolutionizing every field, from art to gaming to sports. With no energy-intensive mining like Ethereum’s former proof-of-work (PoW) model, Tezos is a more climate-friendly option for building on...
The NFT space promised a revolution for artists, a direct line to their fans, and a fair cut of future sales through royalties. To be fair, let’s acknowledge that the world in practice is chaotic. Royalties are so broken that artists are literally getting robbed. So let’s cut the shit...
As Ethereum’s price skyrockets, you might be wondering… “Am I too late to invest in Ethereum?” My answer? Absolutely not.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is the foundational bedrock of this new decentralized digital world. Its price volatility sends shockwaves through the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem, affecting developers and entrepreneurs to new businesses and users.

We're all watching the charts, aren't we? Staring at ETH price, trying to guess what’s the next PEMDAS that makes it go up, murmuring sweet nothings about institution money. With all of this jubilation, a far more significant question remains – a question that most everyone is afraid to ask....
Cryptocurrency has changed drastically since 2023, especially in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). It is subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny and an ever-increasing focus on sustainability. These trends are radically shifting the industry landscape, creating new opportunities and threats to investors and innovators. The sector is experiencing a fascinating...
The news hit the NFT world like a digital asteroid: Yuga Labs, the behemoth behind Bored Ape Yacht Club, is offloading CryptoPunks to the Infinite Node Foundation, a non-profit. At first blush, that seems nearly altruistic, a nod to saving art. But dig just a little bit deeper, and a...
So, Yuga Labs finally did it. They sold the CryptoPunks IP. And to the Infinite Node Foundation (NODE), at that. Let's be brutally honest: many of us thought that Yuga's creative vision for the Punks was... lacking. Remember the outcry? The accusations of diluting the brand? It was like seeing...
WGONQC, a hyper-local Facebook group, has developed into an unexpected juggernaut in the Quad Cities media landscape. Today, it is doing so bolder than ever by jumping into the world of NFTs. It's a fascinating move, especially considering they're outperforming established players like the Quad Cities Times. Is this a...
The healthcare supply chain. A mess, right? We've all heard the horror stories: counterfeit drugs flooding the market, essential medications stuck in transit, and mountains of waste due to inefficient tracking. It’s not simply annoying, it’s life-threatening—and quite honestly, maddening. What if I told you that the same technology powering...
If we’re truthful with ourselves. You probably have a lot less control over how your health data is used than you do over the ads that appear on your Facebook timeline. Think about it: your medical records are scattered across doctor's offices, hospitals, insurance companies, and research institutions. Who really...
The NFT market is a complete wild west and at the moment, creators are being held up at gunpoint in the street. The latest data paints a bleak picture: NFT royalty enforcement is collapsing. We’re not talking a modest decline, we’re talking a collapse, a dramatic freefall even. It’s not...
The NFT market’s grifting moonshot is something we don’t need to discuss in detail here. CryptoPunks, which only a year ago were the darlings of the digital art world, being sold off to a non-profit? It screams "decline," doesn't it? What if we’re approaching this the wrong way entirely? What...
CryptoPunks, a pioneering collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), will soon be showcased at the new permanent exhibition space in Palo Alto. The decision marks a turning point in what’s fast becoming a brutal new reality for these formerly high-flying digital assets that once fetched multi-million dollar valuations. The foundation remains...
Okay, the news is out: Yuga Labs, the titans behind Bored Ape Yacht Club, just offloaded the CryptoPunks IP to the Infinite Node Foundation (NODE), a digital art non-profit. At first glance, it seems… fine. This change has some significant consequences. To all NFT lovers, artists, and investors, this is...
Royalties. The lifeblood of the NFT ecosystem. The promise that all creators and holders can earn value together through the ongoing success of a project. They’re the digital dividend, the innovation incentive, the reward for the early true believer. What happens when that promise is renegotiated? When those rules change,...
The transfer of CryptoPunks IP to the Infinite Node Foundation (NODE). It's done. Is this really a win for digital art, though? Or just a wolf in sheep’s clothing, an end-run to consolidate power in the decentralized, don’t-tread-on-me jungle of NFTs. Let's dissect this, shall we? This isn’t merely a...
