I’m a big believer in climate change (currently reading Bill Gates’ How to avoid a climate disaster) but one of the things holding back the development and adoption of solutions is the debate logic of US media.Over in the good ol’ US of A there have to be two sides to every argument shown on TV, even […]
Bitcoin is trading above the $50k price mark again while the broader crypto market tries to find direction. PayPal acquired a company whose names sounded like a certain crypto coin which caused the latter to surge.

Ten years ago, I heard of an article discussing bio-hacks and how a wealthy but young investor checked his own blood and minerals on a weekly basis in order to slow down cellular senescence, aka the natural deterioriation of the body.

The former, Silk Road, was a darknet website setup by Ross Ulbricht which allowed for the illegal sale of substances on the internet, and Bitcoin was used as its currency.The latter, Mt. Gox, was for a long […]
Although I have never liked his (true) statement that Europeans takes too many holidays to be reliant for a Californian tech startup, he is still a Silicon Valley legend who earns my respect. The man authored the fantastic Zero to One, co-founded PayPal with Elon Musk, made the first venture capital investment in Facebook and […]
Classic finance can rely on mainstream media to shout its message from the rooftops (see GameStop versus Wall Street and CNBC’s relationship with the latter as example) while crypto counts on social media to get its message across.This is mostly due to a difference in generational supporters.Crypto is mainly supported by millennials, Gen-Z and the […]
