The metaverse. It’s packaged as the fourth industrial revolution, a virtual playground where you can escape reality, be whoever you want, do whatever you please. Nike is hoping you’ll spend real money on virtual shoes for your new avatar friend. And now, McDonald’s wants you to pick up a virtual...
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are more than just a digital version of Pokémon cards. Today, they function as a key mechanism that links ownership straight to the capacity to authenticate, pass along, and profit from digital assets. Those splashy, high-profile headlines drew attention to scores of millions of dollars in sales....
I think back to our conversations with Mary, a gifted County Clare silversmith at the local art show. Her work dazzles, each piece infused with the otherworldly magic of the Burren. But she struggles. The gallery isn’t going to show her work, they take a large commission and online sellers...
Let's be blunt: NFTs aren't just about bored apes and pixelated punks. If you believe it’s as simple as that, you’re really only seeing the trees and not the forest. We’re not just talking about a useful new tool. We’re going on a radical change in how we see and...
I vividly recall a stop in the small fishing village of Ardara County Donegal, Ireland many years ago. The fishermen, proud and resourceful, were struggling. Their old-fashioned ways simply didn’t stack up against bigger, faster, more technically savvy fleets. Then, a local university student, using open-source software, developed a simple...
Let's be honest, it feels like a velvet rope club, doesn't it? All smoke and mirrors, sharks, hypercapitalism, reserved for the privileged crypto-class. We’ve been sold a bill of goods about this revolution in digital ownership. How revolutionary can it be if only the wealthy few are able to afford...
My late grandmother, may she rest in peace, was never short of an evocative yarn. She’d illustrate colorful scenes of leprechauns watching over their secret treasures at the end of the rainbow. "Ciara," she'd say, her eyes twinkling, "chasing after that gold is a fool's errand. Your real wealth is...

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...
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...
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...
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...
