We all know the promise: a financial system unshackled from centralized control, accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Let’s not kid ourselves—the DeFi world isn’t exactly a picturesque mountain road right now. It’s a busy highway. Ethereum's gas fees? Astronomical. Scalability? A persistent headache. Security breaches? A constant worry....
Bitcoin maximalism is a cult, not a cool-headed investment philosophy. And like most religions, it’s blinding its followers to the next evolution.

Yeah, let’s be real—these days, the NFT space is pretty…popped, no? But that hype train has derailed. Bored Apes loyalty appears less cavalier than simply bored apes, many of whom are left looking at their JPEGs wondering if they’ve bought the emperor’s new clothes. But before you write off the...
