Toxic Bitcoin Maximalism is dumb.  I tried to lead this article with something more poetic but it honestly boils down to that.   Ever since altcoins started surging in value, and the DeFi story increasingly captured the spotlight, Bitcoin’s “murder hornets” can’t seem to hide their jealousy or their rage.  That vibe was on stark display…

They just couldn’t resist.  Many Bitcoin diehards disdain other digital tokens but when it comes to capturing yields it’s hard not to embrace Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem. With wrapped Bitcoin’s total supply at 187,610, the leading form of Bitcoin on Ethereum constitutes over 1% of BTC’s overall supply which stands at 18.729M at the time of…

I entered the broader crypto community through Ethereum. I was the project manager at ENS for three years, led the Aragon product team to their mainnet launch and helped other projects here and there too. Proof of stake caught my attention in mid-2016. Joining the Cosmos validator working group in October 2017 was my “official”…

Scaling solutions…

In today’s episode, we interview Preston Van Loon. Preston co-founded Prysmatic Labs, one of the main teams building Ethereum 2.0, and has been leading that team for the past three years. On top of that, he recently founded a DeFi project which bundles the entire crypto market cap in one token to allow anyone to easily buy something…

Ethereum’s cryptocurrency has shot up, almost doubling in price in one month and piercing through a record $4,000 on Monday. But some traders are preparing for a pull-back. Short interest is at the highest since the depths of the bear market, while options traders are buying contracts to protect against a drop. ETH has been…

Queue your rocket emojis, because ETH is flying.  ETH broke through the $3k milestone on Sunday and reached a new all-time high above $3,300 on Monday with its market cap just under $3.8B. Now, some DeFi community members are saying that ETH at $10k is on the horizon. But ETH’s massive price surge hasn’t been…

ETH is breaking new all-time highs of just under $2,800 on Thursday, and the breathtaking rally from $200 a year ago is coming with a boom in users.
