I received the LUNA 2.0 airdrop, now what?

30 May 2022 1 minute read 1 comment LeftFooted

Like most people here (power of deduction) I was hurt by the Terra LUNA disaster and lost some cash. I didn't hold any LUNA at the time of the crash but I did have some UST, which is now worth around two beers. A few days ago, most major crypto exch...

Leaders follow the people, one way or another, even when it looks like they don't - and it's never the other way around

I know it sounds counter-intuitive and I know we're taught that the opposite is true but the truth is leaders are always a by-product of their environment. They emerge from the crowd because they're clever and charismatic and, in some cases, fanatic...

Mintedgem is sort of, kind of, basically like a database for NFTs, putting different assets from different blockchains in one place. It is currently live on the Rinkeby Test Network and the website is live as well, while the official launch is expect...

Everyone is calling for crypto regulation in the European Union, but who's the regulator?

23 May 2022 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

The European Union is not a country. It isn't a state, it isn't a geopolitical entity. It is a forum, a virtual table around which 27 sovereign countries sit and discuss. These countries have vastly different interests and priorities and this is by f...

What if Bitcoin actually benefitted from Terra's disaster? (in the long run)

21 May 2022 1 minute read 4 comments LeftFooted

Terra's crash has been dubbed "the Lehman Brothers of Crypto", a fitting analogy considering that we're talking about a project that went $45 billion from zero in a matter of hours. Regulators, banks, governments and crypto-hating billionaires will...

When newcomers ask about crypto and NFTs, they're often told that these things are "based on blockchain technology". Legacy media outlets always use this expression all the time and I believe it may be because they've no idea what they're talking abo...

17 May 2022 1 minute read 1 comment LeftFooted

I've watched a fantastic YouTube video, or perhaps I should say a montage, highlighting four different views on UBI, Universal Basic Income. Two of the pundits were for it and two were a bit more dubious but all four presented valid arguments and no...
