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.

Politics and crypto are starting to overlap in ways we couldn’t have imagined a few years ago. It’s no longer just about markets, trading, or tech, crypto is slowly becoming part of political strategy. Look at how U.S. candidates are now openly posit...

Markets aren’t always moved by fundamentals, sometimes, it’s just words. A single comment from a politician, billionaire, or high-profile entrepreneur can trigger massive swings in sentiment. Crypto, being young and highly speculative, feels this mor...

If Binance disappeared overnight, the impact would be immediate and brutal. We’re talking about the largest exchange in the world, the place where a huge chunk of liquidity lives. Billions in daily volume would vanish in a blink, and markets would go...

Lol, being first doesn’t always mean you’ll stay ahead. Take stablecoins for example. Japan was the one that actually wrote the first real rulebook for them, all the way back in 2023. At the time, it looked like they were setting themselves up to lea...
