Geyser’s new Launchpad – a genius move, or first step down a path to a centralized Bitcoin Launchpad? I'm talking about their social-gated access.

I’ll offer as one example the crypto world’s graveyard of dead meme coins. Flashes in the pan, here today, rug-pulled tomorrow. Hearing of yet another meme token makes my BS barometer go off.

For far too long, we have been the digital serfs on the castles built by corporate platforms that view our data as a cash crop. They control the narrative, silence any dissenting voice, and make billions off of our eyeballs. This has to change. With Farcaster’s Snapchain, it’s the first...
All of this excitement and commotion over Farcaster’s Snapchain launch is entirely warranted. A dedicated blockchain for social media? It sounds revolutionary. Let's ditch the hype.

I've been watching the BankSocial/XRP integration with a wary eye, and frankly, I'm not entirely convinced it's the dawn of a new financial era. While the headlines scream "innovation" and "accessibility," I see a potential Trojan horse, sneaking in risks that could outweigh the rewards, especially for the average credit...

Despite its promise and allure, the world of Web3 gaming can be extremely inaccessible, like an exclusive VIP club with a velvet rope. Highly priced NFTs and advanced terminology are intimidating most gamers. All of this combined exclusivity overall just raises the bar making the NFT world feel heavily unattainable...
MFL's gamble with GenAI soccer players is fascinating, but let's be real: the Web3 space is littered with projects that promised the moon and delivered… well, dust.
