Let’s not kid ourselves — the crypto industry has really been knocked around. We’ve witnessed the crashes, the cons and the overall erosion of confidence that’s had so many feeling like they’ve been taken for a ride. Remember FTX? Sure, losing money stung, but it was the loss of community...
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. It offered enormous economic promise, but at the same time threatened to decimate what had made Harmony Creek unique. Imagine packed roads, overtaxed infrastructure,...
Let’s not kid ourselves. Let’s be honest—when you first hear about a new meme coin, especially one like $ZEUS, you’re excited but a little bit suspicious. Just another flash-in-the-pan crypto project soaking up the latest wave of internet hype? Probably. What if there's more to it? Consider this—maybe hiding under...
Balaji Srinivasan's "Network School" on a private island – let's be honest, it sounds like the opening scene of a dystopian novel. Or perhaps a very dystopian one, if you’re on the other side of that equation. His central premise, a physical manifestation of his proposed “Network State,” is absolutely...
The crypto landscape in the middle of 2025 isn’t only a world of skyrocketing asset valuations and vapid speculation. It’s all about the human element – real people, real problems, and real solutions. Forget the lambos and the moonshots – we’re looking at empowerment, inclusion, and a complete transformation in...
We've all heard the buzzwords: blockchain, DeFi, crypto. Past the hype and click-bait headlines, a transformative tool is lying in wait. Accelerated appropriately, it can recreate our communities and raise the voices of those so easily forgotten. I mean all this in the context of tokenomics, and how it can...
The crypto world needs a makeover. Tech upgrade, yes, but a stealthy reputation overhaul. We’re getting overwhelmed in marketing and buzzword bingo at the same time that we’re missing the very real promise of this technology to truly improve people’s lives. By 2025, crypto PR can—and must—evolve from shilling the...
Let’s face it, the broader crypto space sometimes seems like an incubator for tech bros and Wall Street aspirants. Lamborghinis, yachts, and esoteric alien timekeeping systems fill the airwaves. But scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find a powerful movement brewing – one that's about real people, real problems, and...
The dream was intoxicating. Web3, the decentralized future, revitalizing a struggling rural village in China. Nantang DAO, born from the ashes of cooperative debt and crypto-enthusiasm, seemed to have the makings of a revolution. Somewhere between the Ethereum wallets and the rice paddies, something went really awfully wrong. It all...
Can a meme coin actually make a difference in the world? It sounds ridiculous, I know. We’ve all experienced the crypto pump and dump, the rug pull, just the absolute ridiculousness of crypto. What if, oh what if, a viral meme could be the vessel for something larger. Neo Pepe...
A million transactions. That’s not just a statistic. It’s a narrative. It’s a million different dollars and a million different choices, a million micro-decisions made by real human beings. In the speculative and occasionally disillusioning era of blockchain, something substantial is taking place with G Coin. This is a huge...
One million daily transactions. But this all is, by design, a headline-capturing attention-grabbing siren song in the rocky oft-tempered seas of crypto. Tel Aviv based Playnance created G Coin and just accomplished an amazing feat. This digital currency provides real-world utility and fuels a colorful and vibrant ecosystem. Before we...
Flashy Fun’s “Dig It,” which is offering up to $10 million in gold rewards, has definitely got me excited! It’s difficult not to get caught up in the promise of converting digital taps into real world treasure. Before we all run to our phones, let’s add a little reality check...
Flashy Fun’s Dig It is here to deliver that revolution – a Play-for-Gold (P4G) revolution. Will it really democratize access to wealth, or rather develop a new digital feudalism? Tapping your way to real gold as an option is pretty hard to resist, right? AuCan Gold’s support and the potential...
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...
