3 ways we could be using NFTs in the future (that aren't JPEGs)

16 Feb 2022 3 minute read 5 comments LeftFooted

Some people seem to think that NFTs are just overpriced and overcomplicated JPEGs. "Why should I pay for an image when I can just click *right button* *save* for free?", they keep asking. They're wrong, of course, but you can't really blame them beca...

This year’s Super Bowl will likely go down in history as the ‘crypto bowl’, given the amount of dollars that crypto companies have invested in the event. It’s a world’s first, and we don’t know how it’ll play out. A wide array of crypto companies are...

You can’t stake Bitcoin, but you can still earn decent APY with these two apps

8 Feb 2022 1 minute read 1 comment LeftFooted

I know a guy who says he doesn’t want bitcoin because “I can’t stake them” - that’s what he said - and so he’d rather own proof-of-stake coins and tokens he can stake. Fair enough. However, I firmly believe that nothing beats Bitcoin, and probably no...
