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...
Despite the rise of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, Alabama’s overall approach to it has been slow, but intentional and measured.

We’ve witnessed Bitcoin’s meteoric climb, and millions across the continent have justifiably reaped rewards. Waiting for the magical day that Bitcoin is safe to use is a fool’s errand.

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...
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.

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.
