Right now Wall Street is sweating harder than a Shiba Inu in July. It’s all due to the growing popularity of Doge, Pepe, and now Solaxy. $30 million in presale? That's not just impressive. It's a declaration. An unequivocal declaration that the old guard of finance is officially out of...

Okay, let's cut the crap. So if you, like me, needed to read that Q1 report everyone’s flipping their wigs over, the one wailing that NFTs are circling the drain. Please. As someone who's been in this space since the CryptoPunks days, I'm calling bullshit. Conclusion Reports cover just a...
