We know the first quarter of 2025 was the worst for crypto. Put aside the late 2024 hype. Market cap disintegrated, trading volumes cratered, and even Bitcoin, the perennial darling of all things crypto, didn’t hold up—underperforming gold and USTs. While the crypto-evangelists will scream "volatility" and "buying opportunity," I...
Has OpenSea completely sold its soul for a lackluster quick buck? This is something I’ve been want to write about ever since I listened to them integrate Solana first. That very first pitch centering around memecoins still burns brightly in my memory. You know the types – $WIF and, ahem,...
The news is out: OpenSea is diving back into Solana, this time with tokens leading the charge. Dogwifhat and Fartcoin are just the opening act, with Solana NFTs primed and ready to take us to the main event. Let's cut through the hype. Or is this the latest in a...
Sounds like a recipe for disaster. We’ve watched this film before – the consequences of deregulating our markets into financial disaster. Remember the 2008 crisis?

The siren song of crypto has never been decentralization—it’s been freedom. Freedom from accountability, freedom from oversight, freedom from regulation, freedom to destroy as you wish. This promise of decentralization captured the imagination of all of us. It provided everyone with their own personal treasury, beyond the reach of political...
The numbers don't lie. Polygon crushed Ethereum in weekly NFT sales, with Polygon reaching $22.3 million. This isn’t merely an opportunity to pat themselves on the back. It’s a fundamental change, paving the path in real-time toward the future of crypto. To be honest, if you’re sleeping at the wheel...
Polygon taking the NFT sales crown from Ethereum for a week? C’mon, let’s face it, that’s a click bait-y headline to end all click bait-y headlines. 22.3 million vs. 19.2 million – a David and Goliath moment in the crypto world. But before we name Polygon king, let’s examine a...
DeFi's shackles are off. The recent bipartisan repeal of the digital asset reporting obligations for DeFi brokers, embedded within the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), isn't just a minor tweak. It's a seismic shift. It’s analogous to taking the governor off of a really amazing high-performance engine and just...
