The initial ranting to focus on crypto in sports, nonprofit, and personal experiences. Some general advice and complaints each sold separately. Careers and life are hard. At least we can commune over it every blue moon (or daily).


Rant #8: Minority owned generational wealth? DeFi is the plug.

20 Aug 2020 1 minute read 0 comments zpaul_2020blu

Before I get started, I would recommend reading my bottom line. I'm black and white. While I will chat on DeFi, if we're not on the same page with that, I don't think your going to be open to how Cryptocurrency and DeFi can impact minorities and espe...

While many on here have probably never heard of this for various reasons, I gave it a try about a year or so ago. Loved the concept! Get rewarded in coins for your workouts you can exchange for gift cards or crypto (but not really crypto as I would f...

Rant #5: Sport Athletes and Crypto

18 Aug 2020 1 minute read 0 comments zpaul_2020blu

When I saw the headline that someone wanted to have their contract paid out entirely in BTC, I looked up in a moment to ask could it be done. While that didn't come to fruition due to contract language, why is it that more athletes aren't advocating...

Rant #4: Crypto Questions? How to ask?

17 Aug 2020 1 minute read 0 comments zpaul_2020blu

One thing I learned in my career to date is its very important to ask questions. Not the "where do you want me to put this" type question, but the big picture ones that escape some of us (i.e. me) in the moment. How do I switch my line of thinking? W...

Rant #3: GAS fees are the Crypto version of Square/Uber fees

17 Aug 2020 1 minute read 0 comments zpaul_2020blu

Chicagoan originally. High taxes are as natural as breathing air. Cook County, where Chicago resides, is among the most expensive places to live in the United States. But man, I'll never moan about paying that 12.5%, or whatever it is now, after look...

Rant #2: How Sports threw Crypto into my lane

14 Aug 2020 1 minute read 0 comments zpaul_2020blu

When I first got started in the sports industry, I knew nothing about cryptocurrency. Never heard of it.  Parents are cool, but very conservative. I first learned about it from a co-worker who was using a wallet for his crypto to collect payments for...

Rant #1: Why Fear of Crypto in Non-Profit?

12 Aug 2020 1 minute read 1 comment zpaul_2020blu

Why is it not more mainstream at this point to use crypto to donate $$$? I never learned about ways to do this until I googled it in free time and its mind boggling how slow a ton of non-profits are to this right now.  There are people starving. Out...
