The Lost Philosophy: Elliot Alderson and the Illusion of Bitcoin

Someone who started watching Mr. Robot back in 2015 would have likely gained a deep understanding of cryptography and the legacy of Satoshi. In hindsight, I’ve come to view the story of the protagonist, Elliot, as if he were Satoshi himself his life portrayed through the lens of tragedy and drama inherent to the film industry. While the series is intentionally slow-paced, it masterfully depicts the duality of a man who is a cybersecurity engineer by day and a vigilante fighting the system by ...

💡 The Constant Change in Crypto Markets: Heraclitus’s Philosophy of Panta Rhei

One of the biggest mistakes made by both crypto markets and investors was designing cycles based on the previous bull season. 🔄 The Delusion of Old Scenarios The year 2021 occurred in the unique context of a global crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Expecting a similar scenario was generally incorrect, as events like the COVID-like crash are once-in-a-century occurrences ("Black Swan" events). The world had previously experienced similar situations, such as the global malaria outbreak...

Are You Smarter Than a Coal Miner?

The intellectual life was never something that only the elites enjoyed. In 2001, university professor Jonathan Rose published The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes, one of the most illuminating cultural histories of the past few decades. Through an extraordinary range of sources including autobiographies, letters, library archives, miners’ reading circles (more on those later), and Sunday school curricula, Rose overturns the assumption that the working classes of industrial Britain had no intellectual ambition.

Alan Turing and the Silent Revolution of Cryptography

Cryptography, the art and science of secret writing, is one of humanity’s oldest tools of security. Throughout history, kings, generals, and diplomats have turned words into numbers, and letters into symbols, to protect their secrets. From the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt to Julius Caesar’s “Caesar Cipher,” and the complex codes of the Renaissance, this story reveals how deeply the need for secrecy has shaped human civilization. Yet, the true turning point in the history of cryptography came...

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 m...

Fate Written in Code: Artificial Intelligence and Free Will

The 2020s have made an age-old question more urgent than ever: “What truly makes us human?” We now live in a world where robots can surpass our physical abilities, algorithms can mimic emotions, and AI can write poetry.

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. But those days might be over. Today, airdrops are taking on a new form, one that rewards not just early participation, but also influence, volume, and social reach. Recent projects like Kai...
