Alright, let's talk BlockDAG. I know you’re reading the headlines, the guaranteed massive ROI, the sweet nothings of a game changing tech. I understand, the crypto industry loves a good narrative. Before you get too excited, let’s step back and temper that enthusiasm with a healthy dose of skepticism. I'm...
US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is losing ground. At the same time, Southeast Asia is providing a brash counterexample to the conventional wisdom of the future of finance. As you read every white paper with great precision and post your doomsday predictions, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines are zooming...
Alabama, we have a problem. A big, transparency-shaped problem. This vision is one that the world, and particularly Southeast Asia, is quickly introducing blockchain’s transformative capabilities to make governments more effective and accountable. Our state seems stuck in some sort of bureaucratic groundhog day, content with all of its not-quite-fully-transparent...
The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) are formalizing their approach to crypto investment funds, moving away from case-by-case exemptions to concrete rules. It's simple. Global regulatory shifts, even those originating in North America, ripple outwards, impacting the strategies and ultimately the fate of Southeast Asia's burgeoning tech sector. Action by the...
Without stronger federal action, the United States will continue to fall behind in the rapidly growing digital economy. Just as importantly, it needs to develop clear regulatory principles around blockchain technology to remain competitive. Blockchain's potential to reduce transaction costs, enable instant settlements, and drive financial innovation positions it as...
Are we really on the cusp of handing finance’s future to Southeast Asia. As Congress continues to dither, the next generation of Zuckerbergs and Musks is already creating that decentralized world over there. And they're doing it with a level of energy and innovation that frankly, makes Washington look like...
The digital economy is changing quickly, and the United States is at an important crossroads. Digital assets and blockchain technology are new, hot topics that seem to grow in prevalence by the day. To this end, we very badly need a robust, easily understood regulatory construct. The Financial Innovation and...
Qubetics is revolutionizing how we adapt real-world assets into the blockchain world. They are doing so with their innovative Real World Asset (RWA) Tokenization Marketplace. Qubetics is 31st stage of its presale. It’s letting off a ton of hype, partly because it literally is revolutionizing asset management and trading. The...
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,...
HB230 is here. So the question becomes, are we really celebrating innovation, or just Connecting Communities to an ecological catastrophe in our own backyard. That’s a question that warrants a tough scrutiny, stripped of all the glossy brochures, lame New Urbanism buzzwords, and prospects of unicorn-fueled economic prosperity. Let’s cut...
Since then, Paul Atkins has taken the reins at the SEC, which represents a dramatically different leadership as well. If successful, this change would be a tectonic shift for Bitcoin’s future. Forget the typical bureaucratic relabeling – this is an actual paradigm shift in thinking. He is a pro-crypto advocate....
Bitcoin’s blasting off like a SpaceX rocket, Ethereum sputtering on the launchpad. And when we look out, we see the headlines, the charts, the breathless pronouncements of a new bull run. But wait before you envision Lambos lining the streets in front of mud huts, let’s discuss what all this...
Western analysts are salivating over Bitcoin possibly reaching $92,000. Okay, fine. Let’s be honest, that’s a whole lot of yesterday’s news in Southeast Asia. We understand that Wall Street is attuned to charting lines and price targets, and the like. In contrast, Gen Z in Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam...
$90,000 Bitcoin? So what? That’s probably your first thought. Another number, another headline. Allow me to say, this is not another price point. For Africa, a jump to $90K-$92K would be a tectonic shift kind of deal. Perhaps this new record will ignite the new financial revolution that has been...
Bitcoin (BTC) price has recently made powerful bullish momentum. This has left many individual investors scrambling to figure out whether it’s going to shoot up to $90,000 in the near future. This article unpacks the technical analysis behind TCX’s potential rally. That includes an overview of major support and resistance...
The hype was real. When Trump first indicated a pro-crypto position (most notably with the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve plan that sent Bitcoin’s value skyrocketing). The reality? That’s a huge disappointment, particularly to Africa’s rapidly growing fintech market. In the process, the often-forgotten continent is again, er, forgotten. We were sold...
Southeast Asia was buzzing. You could feel it. The busy streets of Jakarta are clamorous with activity. In stark contrast, Singapore’s tech scene is abuzz with the latest wave of hopeful optimism. Bitcoin. This initiative is not only about profit. We seek financial inclusion to unshackle from the longstanding gatekeepers...
The crypto space, as we all know, is a highly speculative environment driven by sentiment. Recent events involving Donald Trump’s plan to adopt a Bitcoin reserve give us a vivid example of this phenomenon. That first announcement sent a shockwave of excitement and speculation across the country. The grizzly details...
