Web3.Decentralization.DAOs.The buzz words go around, creating this utopian looking future where all the power is back with the people. Is it really that simple? With that said, while the potential of DAOs is exciting, there’s reason for a healthy skepticism. Before we declare DAOs as the salvation of the internet,...
We're at a crossroads. The internet, once a beacon of decentralization, morphed into a landscape dominated by tech giants.

In these dynamic ecosystems, players fully control their assets, open virtual economies profit, and true power is returned to the players. We’re told this is a revolution, a paradigm shift from the walled gardens of traditional gaming....
A recent study raises questions about how decentralized decision-making actually is in DAOs. Specifically, researchers found significant evidence that a concentrated minority of voting power among core contributors makes their governance undemocratic in practice. This begs deeper questions about the real independence and equity of such institutions.Stefan Kitzler and his...

To be clear, I mean blockchain as a technology that can help create a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable future. Let’s put aside...
Look, I get it. Crypto feels like the Wild West. Fortunes are made and lost overnight. It’s hard not to get caught up in the excitement, the Lambo fantasies, and the pipelines that lead directly to the moon (aka riches). If you're approaching crypto with a get-rich-quick mindset, you're probably...
I've seen the internet change lives. From keeping families in touch around the world to inspiring game-changing political protests, its potential is astounding.
