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.

Regulators are busy drafting crypto policies, yet many of them still don’t understand how DeFi actually works. We’ve seen it play out in hearings: U.S. lawmakers confusing self-custody wallets with custodial exchanges, or SEC officials struggling to...

It’s a common belief that blockchains are forever, immutable, untouchable, permanent. In theory, that’s true: once a block is added, it can’t be changed. But reality in 2025 paints a different picture. Even blockchain networks aren’t immune to human...

We often dismiss meme coins as jokes, pump-and-dump schemes, or distractions from “serious” crypto. But in 2025, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is challenging that narrative and might actually be closer to DeFi’s original vision than many polished protocols....

One of the things that makes blockchain powerful is its permanence. Once something is written on-chain, it’s there forever. No government can censor it, no corporation can quietly edit it, and no single person can rewrite history. That’s real freedom...
