The crypto economy is abuzz, but this time not in a positive light. No, not the last vestige of decentralized crypto-darling, Monero, which right now is facing the threat of a 51% attack allegedly sponsored by none other than Qubic. Panic? Maybe. Opportunity? Absolutely. For me personally, the greater question...
The hype about Qubic’s possible 51% attack on Monero is already getting out of hand. Before we all start panicking and hoarding our XMR, let's inject some cold, hard data into the equation and dissect what's really going on. RIP Monero as we know it. Monerium—ngmi? Just kidding. Or perhaps...
Anatoly Yakovenko calls meme coins "digital slop." Fine. Perhaps seen from his new Silicon Valley perch, they appear fleeting, valueless distractions. All I’m trying to do, I suppose, is tell you that what he shrugs off as junk is gold. In Southeast Asia, it’s the rocket fuel, launching an inclusive...
Is Solana really in the business of building the future, or just a really good slot machine. The blockchain is buzzing, no doubt. But is that the sound of progress in an era of innovation, or the racket of digital currency tokens falling into the trough of internet meme-hyped frenzy?...

The Tornado Cash saga isn’t over, and it won’t go away if we pretend it is. The chilling new enforcement actions should frighten everyone who cares about crypto, privacy, or frankly the concept of due process itself. Prosecutors likely committed grave missteps by failing to investigate a key witness’s background,...
Imagine that young Burmese activist. For example, they are using crypto to secretly fund pro-democracy movements, smartly avoiding the junta’s strict supervision of the financial ecosystem. Now picture that lifeline, that beacon of hope, being snuffed out. That's the chilling prospect we face here in Southeast Asia with the overreach...
Money. It’s deeper than that physical paper, or numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s a social construct that allows us to exchange and store value. This common bond is what allows all of us to save up for our long-term future. Consider, for example, that a shiny diamond has high market...
Southeast Asia is poised to explode. Not just economically, but culturally, technologically. And the engine driving this explosion? Crypto. We’re past the point of treating this as a niche investment for tech bros. This is all part of a larger initiative to redefine the future of finance, and Southeast Asia...
