To tell the truth. When you first learned about a new national government department named “DOGE”—allegedly to be headed by none other than Elon Musk—did you spit-take your morning coffee? I did. It almost appears to have been plucked from a Saturday Night Live skit. Or, on the other hand,...
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), launched in late 2024, briefly displayed Dogecoin's Shiba Inu mascot on its official website in February 2025. The arrest also ignited conspiracy theories about how the department may have been connected to the unregistered cryptocurrency. Now DOGE has the incredibly difficult orbit-shifting task of...
Elon Musk, Dogecoin, and the US government? It all just reads like a meme on the loose, and to be quite honest, that’s just what it is. The recent DOGE plunge with its Shiba Inu cameo came right under the public's radar. In short, Elon Musk’s denial of any Dogecoin...

Forget Wall Street. Forget Silicon Valley. If you’re curious about where the real crypto action is happening, look no further than Southeast Asia.

For many crypto enthusiasts, these principles are nearly sacred. With BlockchainShock, our goal is to help...
KYC in crypto? It’s not all it’s cracked up to be and certainly not the silver bullet everybody thinks it is. In Southeast Asia there’s an innovation killer that is both lurking and grossly underestimated. Perhaps worse, it gradually throttles the promise of a nation poised to lead the next...
