Let's cut to the chase. You've seen the headlines: DOT Miners promises up to $19,800 a day. No hardware needed! Backed by Bitmain! And all it takes is a little sunshine and rainbows (aka renewable energy)! Sounds amazing, right? Too amazing, perhaps? Before you dive in, let’s slow down and...
To be frank, the crypto space often seems like a gated community. You read the articles – billionaires in the making, first movers smiling all the way to their banks. But for the vast majority, the barrier to entry just seems too high. Mining specifically seems like a technocratic playground...
The U.S. Bitcoin hashrate after the end of China’s crypto ban. We were on top. We were winning. Then Trump's tariffs came along. As much as some are screaming doomsday, a measured approach is the one that’s appropriate. These tariffs on ASICs (the brains of Bitcoin mining), predominantly manufactured in...
Okay, let's be real. When I first learned about Trump’s tariffs on ASIC miners, my first response was… yikes. More barriers? Seriously? Then I found myself getting further down the rabbit hole, energized by large doses of caffeine and caffeinated thoughts from many long nights of idea generating. And you...
The promise of DeFi has always been radical: a financial system owned by the people, for the people. To put it frankly. Most of the so-called “decentralized” projects out there are really just centralized startups with a little blockchain sprinkled around them. A revolution, or merely a new coat of...
Let's cut the chase: is staking dYdX going to make you rich? Probably not overnight. Is it utterly useless? Absolutely not. The reality, as is often the case with AVs, is a frustratingly nuanced in-between. So let’s get past the glitz and glamour to talk about the mechanics of dYdX...
Bitcoin mining is on the cusp of a major difficulty adjustment that could be the largest we’ve witnessed since China’s crypto crackdown. Sounds like good news, right? Think again. As some are spending time popping champagne corks, others are looking down the barrel of a financial gun. This may seem...
The anticipated 9% decline in Bitcoin mining difficulty is more than just a statistically significant shift. It’s a flashing red light on the dashboard. This dramatic decline is an early warning of systemic weaknesses in the underlying Bitcoin network. While some hail it as a lifeline for struggling miners, I...
The modular blockchain dream …ah, what a lovely dream right? Celestia had promised a new dawn, a scalable paradise. But these days, it seems more like a murky, puzzling dusk. The TIA token’s price has tanked by 93%. That’s not so bad right? It is a good reminder that even...
Truthfully, it’s hard to overstate how much the crypto space is built on this idea of revolution. We're not here for incremental changes. We want paradigm shifts, and the buzz around Celestia's proposed Proof-of-Governance (PoG) feels like just that. Forget the slow burn of the incumbent traditional finance! This briefly...
