Blockchain. The very term itself conjures up visions of either exhilarating, entrepreneurial disruption or a solution in search of a problem. Let’s face it, that grand promise has typically jumped way ahead of the practical use. Business as usual Countless projects have claimed they’ll create a brave new world. Unfortunately,...
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...

We know that navigating the confusing new world of DeFi can seem like reading the Rosetta Stone in one hand while juggling fire-eaters with the other. Let’s face it—the jargon is intimidating.

The numbers are hard to ignore. BNB Chain NFT sales surged to an all-time high of $8.2 million in sales within a day. That's a 5,000% jump. The instinct is to toe the party line and yell “NFTs are back! But before we uncork the champagne, let's ask a tougher...
I mean let’s face it, who doesn’t spend an embarrassing number of hours a week on Etherscan. Sure, we tell ourselves it's for "due diligence" or "researching gas fees," but deep down, we all know we're hunting for gold – digital gold, in the form of utterly absurd transactions and...

Recently, he's been vocal about his doubts regarding Ethereum's long-term success, even going so far as to question its fundamental protocol and...
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...

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?

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...
