Meet the guy who believes Ethereum’s one foot in the grave. Okay, boomer blockchain. While the Cardano founder’s been busy making pronouncements from his digital throne, the NFT community's reaction is less "panic" and more "is this guy serious?"Let’s face it, this is not the first time anyone has announced...
The art world, bless its heart, can’t get enough of a stereotype. Currently, the NFT space is perceived as Public Enemy Number One, usually unjustly painted with the wide brush of the critique of the “crypto bro” stereotype. Let's be real, folks. Discrediting a whole movement based on a lame...
Put aside the Bored Apes, the Lambo memes and the claims about the climate destroying impacts of crypto. Now, let’s talk about shoddy artists. They are the ones unable to make rent, ignored by art museums, and gagged by a system artificially weighted to protect privilege. You believe NFTs are...
Okay, let's be honest. Every time I open up Twitter, it feels like I’m going to the NFTs are dead funeral, again. You'd think after the tenth or eleventh time, they'd at least spring for a better eulogy. Here's the thing: the NFTs aren't pushing up daisies because the idea...
CryptoPunks, arguably the most famous NFT collection on the Ethereum blockchain, is now at the center of an intricate bear market trend. Though sales numbers may be down, a somewhat opposite wave of activity on the market shows that enthusiasm for this collection continues. Individual CryptoPunks NFTs are still selling...
Okay, let's be honest. At this moment, NFTs are the hottest thing since, well, dial-up internet. Remember those days? Playing the waiting game for what seemed like a pixelated image to download? That’s what the current NFT experience feels like right now, but with the added kick in the teeth...
So, Colle AI integrated Grok AI. Big whoop. Another day, another tech company jumping on the AI bandwagon, this time dragging the already volatile NFT market along for the ride. Are we really seeing the dawn of democratized, AI-enhanced artistry? Or is this just a high-tech smoke and mirrors artifice...
Colle AI’s new integration of Grok AI into its NFT platform is causing a stir. Promises of better development, superior automation and even cross-chain deployment make these offerings alluring, particularly in a market still looking for its greater adoption. Let's pump the brakes. As someone who's spent years wrestling with...
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...
Okay, let's be real. When Vitalik starts explaining why instruction set architectures are the least important thing in a computer, we all, myself included, tune out. And just hear me out on this one! This RISC-V technology might be just the thing to unlock Ethereum’s full potential. It’s not only...
Speaking of grenades, the other Charles—Hoskinson—tossed another one into the crypto pond, making a dramatic prediction that Ethereum will die in 10-15 years. Is he really a visionary, or is this the pot calling the kettle black? In the spirit of vigorous skepticism, let’s take apart his case. After all,...
Vitalik’s RISC-V proposal…that’s the equivalent of betting the farm, right? We're talking about ripping out the engine of a Formula 1 car while it's still racing and replacing it with something...potentially faster. The promise? A 100x speed boost for zero-knowledge proofs. A hundred. Now that’s the kind of number that...
Scroll's Euclid upgrade: "Biggest Leap Forward!" they scream. A financial portfolio? Far from it. Almost the most biggest leap backward down a financial cliff. Tired of getting Euclid-ed right outta your ETH like the rest of us?Is Stage One Really Number One?Alright, Scroll, let’s dig into this “Stage 1 Rollup”...
Let's face it, the timing is suspect. Scroll’s TVL plummeted immediately after the SCROLL token airdrop snapshot. The knee-jerk reaction? Airdrop farmers, pure and simple, dumping their bags and running to the next honey pot. But is that really the whole story? I believe it’s really lazy analysis to just...
Bitfinex integrating USDT0 on Optimism? On the face of it, this appears to be an unequivocal win – one more step towards faster, cheaper transactions available to everyone. Anoush Bhasin, Head of Listings at Bitfinex, says produce USDT0 is “innovative,” and who am I to disagree with innovation? Before we...
Okay, fam, let's be real. Another bridged stablecoin? On Optimism? My initial reaction wasn't exactly awe. Less like a Richard Dreyfus alien contact hand gesture, more like a Frank Oppenheimer disappointed/scared teacher/bureaucrat face palm cum existential crisis. But then it hit me. This is not about efficiency, this is about...
Alright, and now onto DeFi Development Corp, a.k.a. formerly Janover. Venture real estate financing to Solana maxi in 30 days? Talk about a rebrand! These guys moved beyond just connecting lenders to would-be commercial property buyers. Today, they’re jumping in feet first on a $34.4 million investment in SOL like...
