Is DeFi doomed to make the same exclusionary mistakes as TradFi? That’s the 27 billion dollar question that has me waking up at 3am. Of course, now we are in the washout phase and experiencing the rise of fixed-yield DeFi protocols. Structures reflecting real world traditional finance (TradFi) such as...
The crypto market's buzzing. All of them are screaming about the next best new thing, spouting off terms like Ethereum, Avalanche, and meme coins. Amidst all the noise, there's one project that often gets overlooked, relegated to "also-ran" status: Cardano. I think that's a huge mistake. Here’s why I think...
Monero. The very name evokes images of backroom deals, of darkness and mystery. In a world where surveillance is omnipresent and every transaction can be traced, Monero protects you. It’s your personal digital fortress, and we guard your privacy like a hawk. Is this privacy a virtue or a vice?...

Remember Beanie Babies? Remember the promise of Dogecoin? I do. I think of my friend, neighbor, and fellow artist Sarah putting all her savings into CryptoPunks, certain she’d be able to retire young. Now? Those punks are collecting digital dust, a painful reminder of hope over hype. Might Labubu be...
Mog Coin, whose market value is a fraction of a cent ($0.000000984) is it a meme? Absolutely. But brushing it off as nothing worse than a poorly executed joke may be an even more egregious error. The trading volume quickly reaches almost $20 million in less than 24 hours. Yet...
