Remember when you actually owned your music? Way before Spotify started curating your life for you, even before Apple Music chose what you were going to be listening to. That liberty, that agency is returning – but this time, it’s over your identity. And Big Tech? They should be absolutely...
In the rapidly changing world of digital identity, Utah’s Senate Bill 260 (SB 260) has been making a lot of noise. Like the REAL ID Act of 2005, it seeks to put individuals in control of their digital identity, touting increased privacy and user choice. How exactly is it doing...

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,...
