There’ll be a time, hopefully and at some point, when we can use crypto on the daily basis for daily transactions. And when I say that, I mean for literally any and every transaction anywhere at any moment. Sort of like a VISA or MasterCard transact...

Learning about crypto is a marathon, not a sprint. In the unlikely event of your needing to know, here's a quick breakdown of the difference between swapping, briding and off-chain exchanges. Off-chain exchanges is what you do with a CEX. You can't...

It is no accident that bitcoin was created in the aftermath of 2008 financial crisis. We’ve gradually been trained to distrust governments and banks. We haven’t been trained to do that by fanatics or as part of our education, nope, it was everyday...

This is why people don't trust banking - And why crypto is an alternative to CASH, not banking

I woke up this morning to an unexpected charge on my (the irony) crypto.com card. It's from Audible, which is by far the worst-run of all Amazon subsidiaries, and I got charged for my subscription... which I have no access to, because I've already c...

Musk gave us Tesla, PayPal and SpaceX, and he's now running X. Zuckerberg gave us Facebook, as well as Instagram and Whatsapp as we know it. All of us, no point denying it, use Zuckerberg's product(s) literally every day. Whereas most people don't...

SPOT I apologise, no disrespect towards Publish0x, but SPOT is one of those cryptos I wish I'd left alone. No major platform or exchange supports it except for Uniswap and Metamask, meaning you can only swap it on chain, meaning ETH fees are insane...

I'm never giving up on faucets. Even though they're not as good and as ubiquitous as they used to be, crypto faucets are still a thing. And I'm constantly looking for new ones. So far, I've only found one that truly works and that's FaucetCrypto....

Chase Bank is chasing its customers away

I read somewhere that one of the biggest mistakes we can make is to assume that just because somebody's in a high-ranking position to do a job, that person is actually qualified for the job. In other words, just because they make the big bucks, it d...

For reasons you probably don't care about, I found myself in a position where I need to book a lot of different things in a short amount of time. That's when I remembered I'd used CoinMarketCap diamonds to redeem a $50 travel voucher for Travala.com...
