I get asked all the time about cryptocurrencies that could be “ETH killers” like they are going to replace Ethereum or offer some solution that is way better. My usual two cents is that if all they are offering is better gas fees then we already have a million chains that offer this, so it’s not enough. Still, there are so many chains trying to be this, and, in my opinion, they will all fail. Let’s talk about why.

With so many hacks, bankruptcies, and now supposed crypto liquidity issues on exchanges, you should never leave your crypto on exchanges or any platforms other than your own wallet. Let’s talk about Celsius & Solend.

I’ve noticed a lot of misleading use of blockchain terms like Web3, blockchain, decentralized, metaverse, etc. The semantics of all of this needs to be discussed because I can only expect it will lead to a lot of people losing money. It seems to me that with a lot of the content I post especially when I dive into decentralization, Web3, the metaverse, and these terms that have been increasingly used as buzzwords that I need to take some time to clarify the semantics of all of this. It’s...

It’s become more apparent to me that there is no clear definition of decentralization and there are so many factors that there is no way to easily classify something as decentralized. I’ve decided to create a matrix that will serve as a reference to accurately determine if something is decentralized and to what degree on a spectrum. This is particularly being made with blockchain social platforms in mind, but I’m sure most elements could be applied to other projects.
