Web3 promised a revolution, a user-owned internet. But currently, instead it seems like a complete disjointed hodgepodge. Picture needing to set up a new email account each time you log on to a new platform. Sounds ridiculous, right? That’s about what we can expect with this current iteration of Web3...
The metaverse. An idea of interlinked universes, assets owned by participants, and distributed ecosystems. Next up is none other than Cirque du Soleil, collaborating with The Sandbox. On the face of it, that seems like a match made in digital heaven. As someone who's spent years dissecting DeFi protocols and...
We just don’t realize that every single day, we continue to hand over more and more pieces of ourselves to the internet. Think about it: your online banking, your social media profiles, your shopping habits, everything. It's a digital shadow hanging over you, managed by corporations you barely know, and...
Blockchain is more than the latest tech hype word—it’s a corporate exterminator. Plain and simple. It’s the digital counterculture, a virtual streetfight against shoddy, wasteful corporate artistry. And the old guard knows it. They're terrified.Think of the financial industry. With every transaction jumping between a series of middlemen, all of...
The metaverse. We hear about it constantly. Virtual land grabs, NFT avatars, immersive experiences. But let's be honest: for many, it still feels clunky, slow, and… well, underwhelming. We’re sold on ultra-immersive open worlds, but given loading screen waiting room—from the dial-up era. The catch The issue? The infrastructure just...
Is Web3 storage really solved? Think about it. We’ve moved on to Filecoin, Arweave, and a bevy of other “decentralized” answers. But are they even functional for the real-time, high-frequency use cases that are meant to be the hallmark of Web3. I’ll be exploring video streaming, AI, and dynamic NFTs....
The metaverse. We’re all listening to it every day, the next version of the internet, a place where we work and play and live. What about your role in this brave new world? Not just your avatar’s fashion accessories or the virtual real estate you might own, but your actual,...
Remember the dial-up modem? That painful shriek preceding the moment you would eventually connect to the net? That’s what using some of today’s older blockchains is like—very little incentive and a lot of pain. We have the luxury of time on our side to a degree, but to be blunt—we...
The metaverse. We hear so much about it: a digital frontier promising immersive experiences, new economies, and a future where the lines between the physical and virtual blur. Let’s face it, today it has all the charm of the Wild West frontier and none of its prosperity. Why? Because digital...
The promise is seductive: Play games, earn real money. Escape the soul-crushing monotony of a 9-to-5. Join the grind and get rich beyond your wildest dreams in a pixelated new world. As someone who's spent years investigating the murky corners of the internet, I can't help but feel a growing...
Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...
The crypto world loves a good narrative, and Humanity Protocol's H token is dripping with one: a fairdrop revolution. Yet the promise is unmistakable. We will fight to reclaim airdrops from the arms of the bot armies and restore them to actual, live human beings. The method? Palm scans. Yes,...
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...
DeFi might seem like a remote world, but I’ll never forget being at a DeFi conference last year. The typical panicky lunge for registration lines, relatable uncomfortable small talk… but then, wait, what’s this. Rather than needing to keep up with a paper name tag, I simply scanned a QR...
Take Fatima as an example, a skilled weaver in a rural Ethiopian community. Though her detailed designs are breathtaking, getting her products in front of customers outside of her small local market is an ongoing challenge. Picture this—Fatima exploring a bustling metaverse marketplace. Today, her engaging digital tapestries are critically...
Consider the case of a smallholder farmer in rural Africa, not able to receive a loan due to the lack of a verifiable national ID. Or a woman entrepreneur in Latin America, swimming against bureaucratic red tape just to register her business. This is not merely an inconvenience, it is...
We were sold this digital Eden, a neverland of infinite innovation and communion. Instead, for most, it’s been more like a chaotic, messy backdraft tech fair, filled with junky avatars and weird crypto investments. Then Upland Genesis Season 2025 dropped, offering a whimsical diversion, an eruption of unadulterated joy. Did...
