Alright, now let’s deal with the unpopular opinion question. A CryptoPunk, #3100, sold on Friday for the equivalent of 4,000 ETH. Sounds good, right? Except it wasn’t, since it had been bought at a net cost of about $10 million higher than this sale price. Headlines scream "NFT crash!" and...
Imagine losing millions overnight. And, of course, you didn’t just lose money in an abstract market crash. Rather, you figured out that the NFT you purchased as a store of value was actually a really costly JPEG. That’s the reality one just experienced with the sale of CryptoPunk #3100. Granted,...
Ms. Waller’s latest tariff warning isn’t just about interest rates and Wall Street. It’s the flashing red light for the whole non-US global economy, particularly for the most vulnerable, least able to ride out the anticipated tsunami. And Bitcoin's dance around $85,000?

Put all your previous assumptions about finance aside. The old guard has hardly been dismantled and a new reign of democratized wealth has hardly emerged. I'm not talking about some far-off utopian dream. I'm talking about April 2025. These three cryptocurrencies are in position to lead the way to reimagining...
Slovenia's aiming to tax crypto at 25% – a move framed as aligning with international standards and simplifying things for investors. Sounds reasonable, right? Let's dig a little deeper.

Global trade wars feel distant, abstract. For those of us who are fortunate to live and work in Africa, they most certainly are not. For someone like me, based in Accra, the White House’s mixed messages on technology tariffs are more than just clickbait. In particular, they would threaten our...
