Shower thoughts about subjects both great and small! Crypto, Society, Governance... What does it mean for Ponies to have Cutie Marks?


Qredo Crowdsale (Coinlist)

6 Jul 2021 4 minute read 1 comment bengy

  After a bit of a rest, there is finally another new crowdsale being listed on CoinList. I have to say that the past few crowdsales have been particularly nice to me, with the creation of a priority queue for those who have had some past exposure a...

  Over the past few years, I've backed a number of successful (and just as many not successful) projects of Kickstarter and Republic. Looking back on some of these, I thought it would be nice to write about a few of the backings, just to see what...

28 Jun 2021 3 minute read 2 comments bengy

  A few weeks (or was it a month ago...), during the mad meme/doggy coin days of 2021 (are we still in the same year and cycle?) a few tokens started getting dropped into my BSC wallets. Two of these were weirdly interesting enough for me to add t...

Rewarding loyal users...

23 Jun 2021 3 minute read 0 comments bengy

  In crypto, as in most other areas of life and business, there is often the alluring temptation of ditching your past loyal users in favour of that shiny big whale or glimmering fields of gold and riches. Chasing after the money instead of with s...

Kucoin Win: A new sink for KCS?

18 Jun 2021 3 minute read 5 comments bengy

  Kucoin is currently one of my preferred exchanges, with a nice spread of tokens that aren't listed on Binance, however, at the moment it has the clear downside (for me) of not listing the two blogging platforms that I use daily. What I have noti...

14 Jun 2021 3 minute read 0 comments bengy

  Hmmmm.... now that I've written the title of this post, it is a bit off sounding. However, interestingly enough it isn't too far off the mark... or should that be disturbingly enough? So, if you have been following my blog, you will know that Co...

Staking MATIC aka Polygon (Things to do when ETH gas fees are low!)

12 Jun 2021 3 minute read 3 comments bengy

  Over the course of last year, I've been a little bit careless with my crypto custody and now an uncomfortable percentage sits on exchanges. Sure, the exchanges that I mostly use are pretty "safe", such as Binance, Kucoin, Coinbase and MXC... but...
