Now picture a world where the digital security of your bank is sinking like quicksand. It’s not Fort Knox anymore—it’s more of a cardboard cutout that even Lex Luthor could knock over. Sounds absurd? Maybe. I see it every day. As a graphic novelist, I partly save my creative investments...
A new, decentralized alternative to Know Your Customer (KYC) verification is making its way into the crypto scene in the form of the zero-knowledge identity token. This groundbreaking solution solves two equally important challenges around cost and privacy that businesses struggle to overcome. This new zero-knowledge powered token gives organizations...
Imagine this: You wake up one morning to find your bank account drained. An AI-powered deepfake impersonating your face just convinced your bank’s customer service agent to approve a $250,000 wire transfer. This wasn’t the work of an unknown nefarious hacker from a distant country. Sounds like science fiction? Think...
The future of finance isn’t a far-off dream—it’s being constructed today, brick by digital brick. One of the most exciting new examples I’ve come across recently to illustrate this is eToro’s implementation of UAE PASS. Now, I know what you might be thinking: "Another fintech partnership, so what?" Trust me,...
The financial system as we know it? It's a relic. Imagine rotary phones in the era of smartphones. It’s cumbersome, confusing and quite frankly, patronizing to our intelligence. This industry runs on gatekeeping. The actual process to access your own money is like going through a bureaucratic maze with fees...
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...
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...
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...
POAP NFTs have slowly become a unique and interesting way to verify and celebrate attendance at events. POAP Inc developed POAP in 2021 with the intention of using the tokens to reward event attendees. These tokens provide a one-of-a-kind experience to remember those special moments. Over 7,000,000 POAP NFTs have...
I’ve always been interested in the way art and technology can bring people together. My past as a graphic novel artist and writer showed me the impact visual storytelling can have on connecting with others. I never envisioned how powerful these digital collectibles could be – how they can be...
