I am an unapologetic crypto nerd. Based in Africa, I use my voice and platform to spotlight blockchain innovation, crypto adoption, and financial empowerment across the continent. Through Psalm the Crypto Nerd, I break down complex web3 concepts into real, relatable stories – from DeFi to NFTs, from Bitcoin to local blockchain use cases in Nigeria and beyond. Whether you're a beginner or a degen, my goal is to help you learn, earn, and grow in the crypto world with an African perspective.

Privacy in crypto has never been a solved issue, it’s always been a constant battle. On one side, you have blockchain stakeholders pushing for financial freedom, anonymity, and censorship resistance. On the other side, you have governments and regula...

The so-called “wallet” is still the biggest weakness in Web3. It’s meant to be your passport to the decentralized world, but instead, it feels like the biggest barrier. Too easy to lose, too hard to use, and still far from matching the simple conveni...

I’ve never been a big fan of TVL as the go-to metric for measuring the health of a crypto project. It looks neat on dashboards, but the truth is most of that value isn’t “new money” flowing in. A huge chunk of it is just the same capital looping arou...

One thing I’ve noticed in DeFi is how people get carried away by big APYs. You log into a protocol, it flashes 50%, 100%, even 200% yield, and immediately it feels like you’ve struck gold. But the question nobody really asks is: where’s that money co...

AI trading bots get hyped a lot these days. People talk like they’re the perfect solution, no emotions, no sleep, just pure data running 24/7. On paper, it sounds great. But in reality, crypto isn’t that predictable. Sure, AI can scan charts faster t...
