Three trillion dollars. Let that sink in. We’ve watched as an incredible amount of value has flowed through Uniswap. Just a few years ago, this decentralized exchange was just an idea on paper. Hunter Horsley calls it "undercelebrated." I call it a revolution in progress. The worry with the headline...
Uniswap, the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) by trading volume, has just crossed a monumental milestone, surpassing $3 trillion in cumulative trading volume. This accomplishment marks a critical inflection point in the growth of decentralized finance (DeFi). Most importantly, it’s a sign of the growing acceptance and demand of these decentralized...
Let's be honest. We are on a course to a scary future where the distinction between human control and technological determinism is disappearing much more quickly. It's not about Terminator-style robots taking over. It’s much more insidious, more subtle and frankly, even more terrifying. Get ready to change the way...
The headlines scream "$3 Trillion!" Let’s face it, tens of billions is numbing. What does that actually look like for a person living paycheck to paycheck? How does it support a small business owner who’s trying to get relief from predatory lending practices? Uniswap’s milestone isn’t only about volume, it’s...
The DeFi (Decentralized Finance) universe is rapidly changing and creating opportunities alongside those hurdles. Curve Finance, a leading decentralized exchange focused on stablecoin swaps, has been pioneering this development. Recent events surrounding its founder, Michael Egorov, have raised eyebrows. These innovations beg the question – what’s next for Curve and...
Egorov's CRV fire sale last year? This wasn’t just a DeFi drama — this was a wake-up call. Curve’s concentrated power certainly contributed to Curve’s meteoric early growth curve. Yet, this very concentration is now threatening the decentralization principles that DeFi was established to represent. We can’t get mired down...
Cú Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster, a nationalistic hero of Irish legend. Untouchable when it came to the art of war, liable to explosions of anger and adolescent impetuosity that frequently resulted in blows whole and incidental. He was a truly flawed hero, an immensely powerful man who at times...
Having just spent three weeks waiting for a passport renewal myself, I sympathize. Three weeks! As we all know, in this day and age, that’s an eternity. It's not just inconvenient; it's a symptom of a much larger problem: government systems that are, frankly, stuck in the digital Dark Ages....

A billion-dollar valuation for the ability to palm scan? No joke. While everyone’s chasing the next crypto unicorn, I can’t shake the feeling we're blindly galloping towards a future where our bodies are the ultimate key – and the ultimate target. Humanity Protocol’s H token has skyrocketed, partially fueled by...
It’s that same sort of exuberance you felt when you first heard about the metaverse. The fulfillment of digital utopia, being in touch with everyone on planet Earth through expansive online metaverses, creating prosperous virtual societies? It sounded revolutionary. Now, look at Horizon Worlds. Clunky avatars, digital tumbleweeds, and a...
Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...
Just as Mark Zuckerberg made headlines with a big pivot to the now overly-hyped Metaverse, he’s undertaking another big pivot. He’s recently been exploring the thrilling worlds of AI and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). After the hype and billions of dollars, Meta’s Metaverse projects—especially Horizon Worlds—have found difficulty in attracting...
