Britain’s desire to become a crypto capital. We've heard the rhetoric. So are the FCA’s proposed DeFi regulations a warm welcome or a good plans roadblock? I terrify myself that it’s the latter – in which case the impact would be catastrophic for British innovation. Have we blundered our way...

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,...
