Let’s face it, the crypto space can seem like the Wild West. Promises of instant wealth, meme coins hitting the moon, influencers pumping the next best thing. It can be tempting to play the short-term game, running after money that’s up for grabs in the market’s hype cycle. As someone...
It's a volatile circus, isn't it? Fortunes gained and squandered quicker than you can say “diamond hands.” We’ve all read the crypto headlines, heard the stories of the overnight millionaires, and the sadly inevitable rug pulls. Amidst the chaos, a question lingers: can any of these meme coins actually last?...
Let's cut to the chase. You’re seeing ANDY, Gigachad, perhaps even this Troller Cat creature all over the place. Maybe you’re even reading this and trying to decide how much of your portfolio to pitch at these digital tokens. I get it. The promise of huge, near-impossible returns is addicting....
Analysts were giving Lincoln Electric (LECO) high-fives, forecasting a gravy train right through Q4. Don't be fooled. Their models, while sophisticated, are missing a crucial element: the unforeseen consequences of well-intentioned policies clashing head-on with a rapidly evolving industrial landscape. We’re in dangerous waters heading for an earnings speed bump...
I've got a knot in my stomach thinking about Lincoln Electric's Q4 earnings release tomorrow. Today I’m no longer the passive investor staring at the ticker. I know what the true story is behind those numbers, and that’s all about the men and women that are working on the factory...
The MANTRA (OM) story is a stark reminder. Yet in the crypto world, even the most idealistic and esoteric projects eventually run headlong into the sunny day scenario of market forces. A 90% price collapse will turn heads every time. Inspired by Mullins dramatic response, Mullin has initiated a token...
Buying a nuclear bunker with NFTs? It seems like the premise of a crypto joke that has tiptoed too close to reality. The "Meatbags" project, aiming to purchase a Cold War-era bunker in England via Solana-based NFTs, is either a stroke of disruptive genius or a recipe for spectacular, very...
Alright, let’s address the elephant in the room: Pi Network’s price is circling the drain, hitting a low of $0.61. Ouch. Money in subsidies You’re already seeing red in your wallet, and I don’t blame you. But hold on—before you start panic selling and swearing off crypto for life, let’s...
Omar Zaki. The name may evoke all kinds of different visions, depending on when you came to the world of crypto. Boy wonder? Visionary? Or perhaps now, a cautionary tale? Whatever your initial reaction, Zaki's story, with American CryptoFed DAO, demands we take a long, hard look at ourselves as...
Omar Zaki. Remember the name. He’s much more than just another cautionary crypto tale—he’s a flashing neon sign warning of deeper crypto fissures. Yet, his story—with the SEC now looking closely at American CryptoFed DAO—is not the cautionary tale of one young man’s mistakes. It’s not about pointing fingers, it’s...
Just the other day I interviewed Sarah, a single mom. She poured her life savings into GMX, wanting to develop a safety net for her two children. The exploit hit her hard. She ultimately lost the bulk of her investment, cash she severely needed. It's easy to get lost in...
Imagine ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy. It was directly democratic — citizens gathered, debated and voted on every issue of state. Sounds idyllic, right? Except, Athenian democracy excluded slaves, women and non-Athenians – a rather big slice of the population. Now, fast forward to present day…and GMX’s $42 million...
The world feels increasingly rigged, doesn't it? Banks charge exorbitant fees, access to credit is a privilege, and even entertainment options often exclude those on the margins. What if we had a place to equalize opportunity? We could unlock economic potential and bring a little joy to people who have...
We've all seen the ads: instant withdrawals, zero KYC, play with crypto and bypass the usual online casino headaches. Platforms like Jackbit, 7Bit Casino, BitStarz, KatsuBet, and Mirax Casino are leading the charge, promising a streamlined, anonymous gambling experience. And who wouldn't want that? Before you get overly excited, let’s...
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...
Let’s face it, the crypto space has its moments where it seems like a wealthy private school. We know white papers can be intimidating, our profession’s jargon sometimes reads like a different language. You’d be forgiven for thinking that you need to have a PhD in economics just to understand...
