Is our financial system honestly working for you? Or does it seem instead that you’re the one who has to go to it. We’ve all been on the receiving end of hidden fees and confusing terms, and too often it has us leaving the table with the sense that the...
Let's talk about Tap-to-Earn games. You may even think it’s just another flash-in-the-pan trend, a dumb new way to waste your time on Telegram. But I see something far more profound. Behind that quiet sentiment, I sense a quiet revolution brewing. It has the potential to fundamentally change how we...
Is the dollar really safe? We’re told it is. Governments and institutions drill it into us. What if “safe” only entails a gradual, predictable erosion of your purchasing power? That official 2% inflation target isn’t just some arbitrary figure pulled out of a hat; it’s your hard-earned money gradually disappearing....
The promise of DeFi is tantalizing: a financial system free from the clutches of Wall Street, accessible to anyone with an internet connection.

The story behind crypto ICOs has been the wildest of rides. From the NFT boom we’ve witnessed, to scams and rug pulls. Writing off all ICOs based on the history would be an enormous error. If the power of empowering everyday people leads to opening even greater new opportunities, then...
Bitcoin hitting record highs? Great. But if we’re all being honest, that ship has sailed for many of us. That’s where the real action is — right now, in the pre-deployment stages of Web3 projects. Here’s where the opportunity for real change lies in the presales. Forget Lambos. I’m referring...
Remember the ICO craze of 2017? Back then, everyone was tossing cash at whitepapers written on cocktail napkins, all of them vowing to deliver the moon. The question is, how many of those projects are still even in existence today? How many have actually delivered at even 10x, much less...
37 million wallets. Let that number sink in. It's bigger than the population of Canada. Not only Charles Hoskinson’s Midnight Glacier airdrop just won a lot. It vows to release NIGHT and DUST tokens all over the crypto ecosystem. Is this simply a passing crypto curiosity? Or does it foreshadow...
Charles Hoskinson of Cardano fame is leading the Midnight Glacier Drop. This event is being trumpeted as a seismic moment in crypto, restoring control to the retail investor.
