I still vividly recall first meeting Maria several years ago. She is a Venezuelan single mother. She fights hyperinflation every day that devalues the Bolivar to worthlessness overnight, becoming more and more desperate to find nourishment for her children. Like so many Americans, her situation was escalated, her choices limited,...

China’s relationship with cryptocurrency has always been paradoxical— characterized by an iron-fisted prohibition and crypto-friendly tacit cultivation. Recent reports indicate that local governments in China have amassed significant Bitcoin holdings through penalties and confiscations, leading to speculation about potential market impacts. Read on as we explore the details of China’s...

A million transactions. That’s not just a statistic. It’s a narrative. It’s a million different dollars and a million different choices, a million micro-decisions made by real human beings.

The world of crypto is set to get a lot weirder — and arguably, a lot more interesting. Everyone dismisses meme tokens as pure speculation. Eschewing them completely is akin to opposing the printing press, just because some people have used it to proliferate conspiracy theories. There’s serious potential tucked...
BlockDAG's making waves. A 2,660% price surge? A $350 million presale? Those are numbers that grab attention. We should not get carried away by the excitement.

It reflects our...
GameSquare, an Ethereum treasury firm, has made a bold move into the world of NFTs with its recent acquisition of a rare CryptoPunk. This purchase is more than just possessing digital art. Notably, it reflects a bit of a strategic play that gives a glimpse into the increasing blend between...
The crypto analyst who famously (and accurately) predicted the Bitcoin crash on Bloomberg is at it again. This time they are pushing Ozak AI (OZ) as the next “100x AI play.” Bitcoin plateauing around $120K has investors justifiably twitchy. Pursuing those types of life-changing returns in the extremely risky landscape...
