NFTs have the potential to create new and unexplored markets for African artists. They could be seen as the new digital colonialism, taking away value and not providing grounding for artists in return. The reply, like any great master work of art, is nuanced and anything but cut and dry....
Okay, let's be real. I know there’s a lot of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) going around about those Bitcoin ETF outflows. Everyone is talking about it. Here's the thing: focusing solely on that is missing the real story. It’s similar to examining one bad leaf and announcing that the...
Okay, let's be real. Watching Bitcoin freefall under $84,000 after Trump’s tariff threats might have had you grinding your teeth. Another potential market disruption? Feels like we can’t win for losing, huh? Wait, before you hit that sell button, hold on. Well, let me be the first to say that...
The headlines scream "Bitcoin ETF Outflows!" $707 million gone in a week. Five straight days of bleeding. Their total net asset value of $93.36 billion may sound impressive right now. I am stuck by the feeling that we may be seeing the beginning of something far larger than just a...

The ZKsync hack. It might be tempting to chalk it up as merely another crypto debacle, another technical crack in the matrix. That’s letting them off the hook. Looting over 111 million ZK tokens ($5 million) is a stark abdication of responsibility. As a reminder, this incidence is based on...
The ZKsync hack exposes more than just the traded away tokens. It’s a proud reminder that decentralized finance culture can ring a little hollow without addressing core equity and access concerns. We have to consider who is most harmed when these things leave unchecked.Whose Voices Are Being Silenced?Let's be brutally...
DeFi is a wild west. We all know it. The lure of the independent, financial freedom is frankly intoxicating.
