I mean, we’ve all gotten hit over the head with Bitcoin this, Bitcoin that. Truthfully, it’s akin to listening to the same terrible top-40 pop song over and over again. The crypto world is an intimidating and unfamiliar wave. Focusing just on Bitcoin is like going to a beautiful destination...
We’re once again staring down the crypto winter’s barrel. Headlines scream of an unimaginable 41% market collapse (excluding Bitcoin, obviously). In the meantime, VC capital is disappearing faster than a raindrop in the Sahara, and macroeconomic headwinds are looking to blow us all back to 2017. Then you’re not alone...
Ethereum. The second biggest name in crypto. Hopefully not permanently condemned to a far-distant second place. The decentralized future DeFi has promised us still looms large. Yet, as we approach 2030, a critical question looms: are we witnessing a carefully orchestrated delay, or a slow-motion death sentence for Ethereum's grand...
Let’s not kid ourselves, are we still really buying the “Ethereum will rule everything, I promise” story. I’m not sure if it can, frankly, but the past few weeks’ mood certainly feels different. And by vibes, I mean the memes. Put aside your technical analysis and your fundamental research for...
So, there you have it, another day, another DeFi platform goes kaput. This time it’s Loopscale, previously known as Bridgesplit – ring any bells? The new lending app, incubated by Solana Labs and Coinbase Ventures to disrupt the future of lending. All of this they are accomplishing with their new...
Bitcoin. We all know the story. The original crypto. The one that propelled the modest Fort Myers Beach onto national news, and perhaps created a few millionaires. If we’re being honest, is it really that much better than the future of finance? Or is it closer to the Netscape Navigator...
They're everywhere. Promises of unimaginable wealth, game-changing technology, and being first in line to buy in on the ground floor. But are we actually solving real problems, or just giving a new coat of paint to a different approach to separating people from their hard-earned cash. Let's cut through the...
Loopscale, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol from Solana, was attacked this week to the tune of $1.2 million. The platform suffered a security breach that resulted in the direct loss of over $5.8 million. This incident represented a loss of about 12% of its Total Value Locked (TVL). This event...
We all enjoy it, or perhaps enjoy hating it. The speed demon of public blockchains, at least until that’s not the case. Remember the TRUMP meme coin launch? Selectivity of bad things happening. Network slammed shut as if you bleached your drain after turkey day. High fees, failed transactions, the...
Remember those old Western movies? The same ones where banks got robbed at high noon, and the sheriff was always a day late and a dollar short? Turns out, DeFi is actually the Wild West, but with more complex code and fewer dusty saloons. Loopscale, a Solana-based lending protocol, just...
