That’s right – an 18% projected compound annual growth rate for distributed ledger-based carbon trading platforms. Sounds impressive, doesn't it? We’re being sold on the idea that blockchain technology will save carbon markets, ushering in a new era of transparency and efficiency. Before we pop the champagne, let’s add a...
So, the promise of decentralized data marketplaces — such as what’s made possible by Ocean Token — is definitely exciting. Direct transactions, data ownership in the hands of creators – it's a vision of a fairer, more efficient data economy. Yet, are we so blinded by the possibilities that we...
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...

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...
