Is Web3, then, the digital utopia its proponents claim, or merely lipstick on the same old swine? We’ve all heard the promises: decentralization, user control, data ownership. And we get it—after all, the tech world has a long history of selling us pipe dreams. Recall how social media was supposed...
We've all heard the narratives: Bitcoin is a volatile casino, a tool for criminals, a bubble waiting to burst. The media has a field day casting it like that. Picture this Bitcoin is more than the hype and FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt) sensational headlines you’ve heard. Beneath the facade, however,...
The story of my hometown, Harmony Creek, and its recent brush with losing its soul. First, we were up against a huge corporate housing development—Harmony Heights.
