6 Jan 2026 1 minute read 0 comments Johnbull Myson

I don’t think most people are ready for what 2026 actually looks like for crypto in Europe. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s boring in a way that exposes a lot of nonsense. Europe isn’t confused anymore. That’s the part people keep missing. The...

I wish crypto people can just "STFU"

5 Jan 2026 1 minute read 3 comments Johnbull Myson

I don’t even know why crypto people like talking so much. Every cycle it’s the same thing. New narratives, long explanations, endless “education”. Meanwhile the stuff that actually works barely makes noise. Whenever crypto is quiet, it’s usually doin...

2025 was the year of sport and prediction markets betting

5 Jan 2026 1 minute read 0 comments Johnbull Myson

Here’s what happened in crypto today

7 Oct 2025 2 minute read 0 comments Johnbull Myson

Bitcoin led the charge again, flirting with new levels that seem more psychological than technical. Every dip still gets bought, but the sentiment is split. Some think we’re gearing up for another leg up, while others see signs of fatigue in...

The U.S. government shutdown is dragging into its second week, and this time, the usual political theatre feels heavier. Markets are anxious, workers are restless, and the public is tired of being caught in a power struggle that seems to rep...

The next phase of onchain finance needs regulatory infrastructure, not just issuers

6 Oct 2025 3 minute read 0 comments Johnbull Myson

There’s a lot of talk about how onchain finance is reshaping the future, but what’s missing isn’t another token or issuer, it’s structure. The next phase of onchain growth will depend less on flashy products and more on the frameworks that make them...
