Gensler can do what he wants with crypto, just as long as he keeps these TWO things in mind

7 Jun 2023 2 minute read 2 comments LeftFooted

At the time of writing, Gary Gensler, your favourite person in the world (I'm being ironic), has sat in office for 2 years and 50 days. Gensler was preceded by Allison Lee, also under Biden, for 87 days. And before Ms Lee we had Elad Roisman, under...

A new original way to showcase your NFTs

5 Jun 2023 1 minute read 8 comments LeftFooted

Crypto companies keep going bust, wallets get hacked, the US economy is in tatters, the SEC is perpetually trying to kill crypto. Yes. All these things are true. But, and it's a huge but, part of the reason why the NFT craze died down is we tried to...

ONE YEAR LATER

I'm writing this while sipping my favourite beer from my favourite craft brewery in my favourite city in the world, while attending a crypto event. The city in question in Belgrade and the event is Tomorrow Conference. The debut conference was a bi...

"Ah sh*t, here we go again"

I used to work for a crypto exchange. I've probably mentioned this a million times but I've never mentioned the name of the CEX in question. Hint, it's not one of the major ones. I haven't double checked so don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure...

CBDCs are coming... so what?

The easiest way to get it wrong, whatever the subject, regardless of your point of view, is to assume everyone else will think what we think. Do what we do. Want what we want. So when it comes to money, for example, you're 100% guaranteed to get it...

Day 33/365: the EURO is already doing its 'thang' on the Croatian economy

14 Mar 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

Ordinarily, I'd happily jump on the chance to brag about being right. Thing is, there's no point bragging, if you what you predicted is essentially math. The EURO was going to - and will - and has - already done damage to the Croatian economy. But t...

Day 32/365: What's gonna happen to Ripple XRP?

8 Mar 2023 1 minute read 2 comments LeftFooted

A few years ago, I bought some XRP and then forgot all about it. I never sold, not even when it reached a new ATH of 3.84 USD on 7 January 2018. I spent years holding and hodling and ignoring everything that was going on in the crypto world, the on...

31/365: The true value of blockchain technology with a silly analogy

These are the facts: John is looking for clerical work but no one is hiring him. These are the available headlines, depending on the outlet's editorial line and political stance: “Job numbers worse than they appear as you can’t even get a job keepin...

Day 30/365: Yearn Finance ($YFI)

26 Feb 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

I thought this'd be a good time to talk about Yearn Finance - ticker symbol $YFI - partly because the weather is kinda s**t today and also because YFI has been pumping for seemingly no reason. Launched in 2020 by Andre Cronje, a South African softwa...

Day 29/365: Tactic vs Strategy

25 Feb 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

Tactics and strategy are often thrown in the same mix. They're used as synonyms but they aren't. One of the few examples I can think of where that doesn't happen is the game of chess. In chess, most people use the word 'strategy' and they use it co...
