In the fast-paced landscape of crypto, innovative public relations (PR) is more important than ever for projects looking to scale worldwide. It's not just about getting your name out there; it's about shaping the narrative, building trust, and ultimately, driving adoption. Shocking Token has witnessed firsthand how selecting the wrong...
It's still a thing in 2025, surprisingly. Though many had called it dead, it has changed, transformed, adapted and arguably grown more menacing. Why? The reason being, the stakes are much higher, the regulators are monitoring more closely, and the audience isn’t buying into the same snake oil sales. And...
Influencer marketing remains a dominant force for crypto marketers, yet in 2025, it demands a blend of creativity and authenticity. Crypto influencers come in many shapes and sizes—from technical educators to experienced traders, to meme creators, NFT artists, and DAO leaders. After years of marketing secrets and undisclosed promotion, regulatory...
These Wild West days of crypto are (thankfully) starting to recede. Remember 2021? Every celebrity with a pulse was shilling some newly minted coin. The result? Many of these once-thriving pump and dump operations and many more disappointed investors. By 2025, that model is dead. Or at least, it should...
BlockDAG has created a powerful niche for itself in the competitive cryptocurrency landscape. It’s less about the celebrity and more about forming authentic relationships and deep community engagement. This approach sets it apart from other technology-based platforms such as Ethereum and ONDO which are more focused on the cutting-edge technology.BlockDAG...
Influencer marketing now rules the cryptocurrency industry in 2025. Over the years it has transformed from basic promotional tweets to an intricate, multi-layer strategy catered to finding genuine partnerships that drive tangible results. Authenticity Influencer marketing is here to stay and that’s because, at its core, it appeals to a...
Web3 communities are struggling. We all know it. Engagement is artificial, growth is a struggle, and you never really understand your users. It’s akin to building a house with a blindfold on, groping for the right tools in the dark. Well, what if I told you that those communities possessed...
The crypto world is full of exciting innovation, and just as full of…well, let’s be nice and call them “experiments.” I’m particularly interested in Troller Cat ($TCAT), the deflationary meme coin that’s taking the market by storm. The kitty-centric branding makes it all the moreso! It’s the ad revenue burn...
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is transforming our understanding of traditional financial systems, providing new and exciting opportunities for development and financial inclusion. Its highly decentralized structure makes it a true regulatory challenge as well. How do we enforce laws in a new space that has very few intermediaries to begin with?...
Decentralized Finance. It's supposed to be the future, right? We want a world in which anyone, anywhere, can use financial services without having to ask a bank for permission. That future doesn’t seem quite so sunny anymore. It does feel a little unjust given the regulatory quagmire we’re in right...
DeFi. Decentralized Finance. I mean, it’s the Wild West of finance out there right now right? With it, promises of unprecedented access and return, but overshadowed with regulatory uncertainty. The current approach? A hapless tango of regulators far behind the curve attempting to catch up, impose fines, and wading in...
We've all heard the narratives: Bitcoin is a volatile casino, a tool for criminals, a bubble waiting to burst. The media has a field day casting it like that. Picture this Bitcoin is more than the hype and FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt) sensational headlines you’ve heard. Beneath the facade, however,...
The story of my hometown, Harmony Creek, and its recent brush with losing its soul. First, we were up against a huge corporate housing development—Harmony Heights. It offered enormous economic promise, but at the same time threatened to decimate what had made Harmony Creek unique. Imagine packed roads, overtaxed infrastructure,...
If we’re being real, today’s DeFi user experience is frequently an impenetrable walled garden. The institutions with the very deep pockets, those are the ones who are always getting the lionshare of the winnings. What of the solo coders, the small teams with big dreams and bigger ideas, but not...
And yet, for all the promise of DeFi, it can sometimes feel like a carnival side show. Shiny prizes (upwardly spiking APYs) entice, but the house always wins. But coupled with likely incentive structures particularly around token emissions this has set up an ultimate recipe for short-term wins and long-term...
Recently, Core DAO introduced the most innovative revenue-sharing model, Rev+. This effort is designed to attract developers, stablecoin issuers, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). This initiative marks a significant step towards fostering growth and development within the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, particularly for Bitcoin builders. Core DAO aims to be...
