The current state of the crypto industry is like joining the internet in 1998. Those who are present now are part of an "early party" that could grow to be huge later.

The true nature of Blockchain
The general explanation of blockchain is that it seems to be an all-encompassing technology, but it is actually more of an umbrella term for various digital record-keeping systems. Some myths make it sound magical, but the truth is a bit more convoluted. Let's break it down more simply!
The decentralised economy: breaking away from traditional systems
The decentralised economy is no longer a distant vision - it is here, transforming the way we trade, govern and build without dependence on traditional systems.
Bitcoin vs. CBDCs: the difference is control
In an authoritarian system, CBDCs can be used as a weapon against dissenters, further undermining people's economic sovereignty and contradicting the purpose of most digital currencies. Bitcoin, however, offers a decentralised alternative - one where individuals retain control over their own wealth.
The digital polis: Network states in the blockchain era
Blockchain-based network states are emerging as digital nations that challenge traditional governance by offering customisable, opt-in communities based on shared values rather than geographical boundaries. It is about the power of individuals to choose their own path, build communities and step outside traditional systems of governance.
Exodus the self-care wallet
The Exodus wallet is a self-service cryptocurrency wallet designed to give people financial autonomy.
El Salvador leads the way in implementing a decentralised governance model
One of President Bukele's New Year's resolutions is to install Bitcoin nodes in every home in El Salvador. This initiative aims to accelerate the development of a decentralised nation-state model in the country.
What are stablecoins and how do they work?
The purpose of stablecoins is to maintain price stability and bridge the gap between fiat money and cryptocurrencies. They are linked to traditional assets, such as paper money or gold, making them a relatively less volatile alternative than typical cryptocurrencies. Promising faster transactions and lower costs, stablecoins are an alternative to traditional banking solutions.
Ethereum Pectra: A new era of on-chain experience
With the Ethereum upgrade starting in 2025, the network will be faster, more scalable and easier to use. It will also change the way users interact with applications on the chain every day.
