Yeet Casino—is it the Robin Hood of DeFi, or a swindling snake oil salesman selling you riches beyond your wildest dreams? Their recent airdrop of the $YEET token, trying to copy Axie Infinity’s explosive growth was certainly a good way to shake things up. Before you dive in deep, let’s...
I sat down with Sarah at a coffee shop last week to talk about her work and vision. She’s the ideal American dream success story—smart, dedicated in school, working her way through nursing school doing food delivery on the side. Her excitement was palpable as she explained MoonBull to me....
Imagine this: a single mother in the Philippines, barely scraping by, discovers Axie Infinity. Though she spends all day fighting ridiculous monsters, she gets paid enough to put food on the table. She documents her kids’ homeschooling journey and eventually launches a home-based business. It sounds like a fairytale, right?...
The crypto world moves fast. One minute you’re trying to wrap your head around DeFi, the next every single person is trying to catch the next PUMP. Pump.fun, a memecoin creation platform whose native token is PUMP, is the new challenger on the block that pledges to democratize the process....
Are meme coins truly the future of finance, or are they simply a passing trend driven by online speculation? In any case, I’ve been struggling with this question for too long. What’s odd about this reform drumbeat though, is the wide spectrum of people who are suddenly all-in for it....
I was introduced to Miguelita last month in a local community center in the Bronx. A vibrant woman in her late 50s, she was excitedly telling everyone about this "crypto thing" her grandson introduced her to. He walked her through creating a wallet and how she could start earning free...
The appeal of fast fortune, especially in the unpredictable realm of cryptocurrency, proves too seductive for many. We’ve all read the news stories. Overnight millionaires seem to be everywhere these days, thanks to the meteoric trend of the newest gold rush around meme coins. Beneath the surface of Lambo dreams...
The allure of crypto is undeniable. Fortunes have been made (and lost) overnight. If we’re being truthful, it’s not a level playing field. In addition, giant institutional investors have a stranglehold on the space. Armed with armies of quants and high-frequency trading infra, they regularly decimate the common retail investor....
Is this the opportunity to truly green our transportation system, once and for all? Or are we really just being sold another pipe dream in crypto’s clothing? Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S), the latest iteration with its Nova App tantalizing folks with promises of simple access and “guaranteed” returns has them buzzing....
Most of us have heard that siren song of cryptocurrency. The dream of financial independence, of owning the means of production and bypassing the corporate overlords, of early retirement powered by internet sorcery. Bitcoin led the charge, creating millionaires overnight. Now, a new challenger enters the arena: Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-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...
