Let’s face it, the broader crypto space sometimes seems like an incubator for tech bros and Wall Street aspirants. Lamborghinis, yachts, and esoteric alien timekeeping systems fill the airwaves.

Okay, let's be real. When you hear “JPMorgan” and “blockchain” in the same sentence, does your gut reaction go more towards excitement or skepticism?

Let’s face it, the crypto space is filled with initiatives claiming to take you to the stars and back…only to leave you stranded. So when I hear that the next new token will revolutionize finance as we know it, my BS meter is cranked up to eleven. Secondly, Qubetics ($TICS),...
Let's be real. I know that at times the crypto space can seem like a hyper-capitalist’s funhouse. Lambos, moonshots, and “get rich quick” schemes are the name of the game here. What if crypto had a higher purpose. What if it were truly used to empower communities and create a...

Let’s face it, the meme coin meme economy can be a wild west casino. Fortunes are created and dissipated on the turn of a dime, fueled by speculation and the momentary whims of the world wide web. You know the Doges and Shiba Inus and then there is a new...
Look, I get it. The meme coin market is a siren song that pulls in many a naïve investor. Pipelines of guaranteed fortunes powered by the magic of the world wide web and feline memes? Tempting, right? Troller Cat ($TCAT), bursting with GameFi ambition, is the newest player in the...
The crypto world loves a good airdrop. Free tokens! Who wouldn’t want to get a slice of that pie? Sonic’s execution, incentivizing X tweets with “Yap points” to qualify for a 25% allocation of the airdrop, just sounds different. This is a significant departure from common DeFi metrics, such as...
Are the new decentralized mechanisms and systems at their heart simply a euphemism for creating centralized control, with more steps involved? The drama surrounding Across Protocol is no less heated. Its $23 million DAO transfer to Risk Labs forces us to face some inconvenient truths about the state of DAO...
