Fair Mints: The Mexican Standoff
Altcoins have often painted themselves with a coat of decentralisation, claiming to democratise finance. It’s a “free market bro”. Anyone can create their own currency and participate in a revolution against traditional financial institutions. A movement that started with Bitcoin has seen a faction split off and devolve into a paragon of Ponzis, playing out […]
The Benefits Of Runes
Let me make this clear: I am an ordinal disrespector. I run Knots on my node, and I am proud of that; yes, Maxi brain doesn’t allow anything other than Bitcoin to fit in this blockhead. Now that you know my bias, let’s get down to the latest Tamagotchi craze hitting the blockchain. Ah, the […]
The Reality of Meme Coins
The world of Bitcoin is a wild ride, and we all have to forge our own path, form our own opinions, and build our convictions in our thesis. Eventually, if you put in enough work, you will find out that Bitcoin is the only way to do it. If you don’t bother to do your […]
What Are Non-Arbitrary Tokens?
Ah, Bitcoin, to many looking in from the outside, is seen as the Wild West of finance, the land of digital gold rushes, and the breeding ground for financial innovation that we still need to grasp fully. Having that level of caution and scepticism isn’t a bad thing. Remember, don’t trust, verify. A healthy approach to […]
Songs As Ordinals A New PR Stunt
Rappers love flaunting their wealth; it makes up a large percentage of their lyrics, and it’s been part of hip-hop culture for decades. What began a positive message of rags to riches through your art, work ethic, and endeavours have devolved over time into braggadocious bars that seem never to find a conclusion. It’s always […]
What Is Altseason?
As the saying goes, “A rising tide raises all ships.” but it will also bring scum and debris along with it. When the Bitcoin market begins to see rapid price appreciation, anything remotely seen as a digital currency will likely benefit to some degree. Bitcoin (BTC) is often the market driver that increases investment in […]
What Is Airdrop Hunting?
Airdrops involve the distribution of crypto tokens to early adopters and supporters of protocols or platforms. It’s a great way to sucker in newcomers who feel risk averse and would like to get some skin in the game without deploying too much capital or are willing to give up some labour in exchange for token […]
What Are BRC-404 Tokens?
In the ever-evolving world of funnelling digital asset funds from one person’s wallet to another, new token standards emerge constantly; cooking up crypto crack in the kitchen that is GitHub is a lucrative pastime, especially when you get the timing right. As capital flows into the market in anticipation of the Bitcoin havening cycle and new demand […]
The Bitcoin Layer 2 Grift
Bitcoin’s core strength lies in its decentralisation and security. Every transaction is meticulously recorded on a public ledger, accessible to everyone, ensuring transparency and immutability. However, this robust consensus mechanism comes at a cost: slow transaction speeds. The Bitcoin network can only process around seven transactions per second, a far cry from the thousands handled by centralised payment systems like […]
How will the Celsius Network Repayment Plan Work?
In July 2022, cryptocurrency lender Celsius Network sent shockwaves through the industry by filing for bankruptcy; while it may not have shocked my seasoned Bitcoiners who preach self-custody, each cycle brings with it a cohort of new Bitcoin holders who have to learn that lesson the hard way. Many users found their funds frozen, raising […]
