Remember the early days of the internet? The dream of this decentralized utopia, untethered from the whims of gatekeepers? DeFi was the latest iteration of that fantasy, saying it could offer financial freedom for all. Unfortunately, dreams and ideas rarely match up with reality. The Q1 2025 market crash has...
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...

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? That wasn’t due to overregulation, people. It was caused by too little. Now, they’re proposing a “token safe harbor” and it smells like a Trojan...
The SEC’s current approach to crypto regulation is like trying to break a wild mustang with a public library card.
