The Lost Philosophy: Elliot Alderson and the Illusion of Bitcoin

The Suicide of a Financial Revolution: Is Crypto Eating Its Own Tail?

Tyler Durden imagined a dystopia where capitalism collapses under its own weight, and consumerism enslaves the masses. In his world, the system was a beast destined to eat its own tail.

From Bitcoin to Lessons Learned: My Journey Through Crypto, Hope, and Resilience

When we first got acquainted with crypto, the main idea that prevailed everywhere was that everything was Bitcoin, and all altcoins were intended only to increase the quantity of Bitcoin. Subsequently, we witnessed many dirty things: the idea that altcoins would go to the dustbin, that project owners' goal was to collect money from people and increase their own Bitcoin count, including insider information and the exploitation of their own tokens. Many examples can be given, such as entering mismanaged... Read More

Are Airdrops Changing Shape?

In the crypto world, the term “airdrop” once referred to a simple incentive mechanism used by ecosystems to attract users. Anyone who completed a few transactions, joined a Discord server, or filled out a basic form could potentially receive token rewards, some of which would go on to gain significant value.
