Rewarding Content Creators in Web3: The Prospects of Kaito

Last week saw the high-profile launch of KAITO — a token designed to reward content creators on the Kaito platform.

The most puzzling part of the Bybit hack

The most puzzling part of the Bybit hack

In the recent Bybit hack, I noticed something particularly puzzling: even after rumors of a massive unauthorized ETH withdrawal were confirmed, people in the P2P section were still posting offers to buy ETH at near-market prices. Think about it: * Everyone knew there wasn't enough ETH on the exchange (most of it had been stolen). * Everyone understood...

Coinbase and Kraken are reportedly in talks to acquire Deribit

Coinbase and Kraken are reportedly in talks to acquire Deribit

According to Solid Intel's recent post, Coinbase and Kraken are reportedly in talks to acquire Deribit. If true, the price tag must be astronomical. I've never been a big fan of CEXes. I don't like how they can freeze your crypto on the flimsiest of pretexts and then make impossible demands before returning it. (This is probably why...

Another day, another exploit

Another day, another exploit

Once again, an exploit has led to stolen crypto — this time on the Abstract blockchain. My first thought, as usual, was relief that I keep most of my savings in Bitcoin — which I’ve always considered far more secure than other cryptocurrencies. However, the developers of Abstract clarified that the breach was not due to...

When Bitcoin ETFs Protect You From Yourself

When Bitcoin ETFs Protect You From Yourself

PlanB, a well-known Bitcoin advocate, has announced that he sold his Bitcoin holdings in favor of Bitcoin ETF shares. As you probably know, ETFs have nothing in common with Bitcoin except the price. It's surprising to see someone who understands Bitcoin well suddenly act as if price is all that matters. PlanB justified his decision by saying he didn't want to worry...

Why Bitcoin Hasn’t Become a Popular Payment Method

Why Bitcoin Hasn’t Become a Popular Payment Method

When someone “buries” Bitcoin, a common argument is that over 16 years, Bitcoin has failed to establish itself as a widely used payment method. And this is true. Why do so few people pay with Bitcoin, and does this mean Bitcoin has failed? WHAT DOES AN ASSET NEED TO BECOME A PAYMENT METHOD? In countries where barter...

The Anatomy of Meme Token Prices

The Anatomy of Meme Token Prices

What determines the price of meme tokens? First, attention. Second, the belief that the token will continue to attract attention. When we post memes on social media, attention translates into likes. But when we launch tokens on specialized meme token platforms, attention manifests as purchases. People are willing to trade real-value cryptocurrency for meme tokens...

Bitcoin Wallet Strategy: Why Less Means More

Bitcoin Wallet Strategy: Why Less Means More

Analytics from Santiment have observed a significant decrease in the number of non-empty addresses on the Bitcoin network. They attribute this to small holders liquidating their assets out of fear. Santiment compares Bitcoin to Ethereum and Ripple, noting that these two cryptocurrencies are showing the opposite trend. However, I believe Santiment's interpretation is incorrect: * In Ethereum and Ripple...
