BlockDAG – The Next Big Thing In Crypto?
The BlockDAG Movement I introduced my readers to blockDAG technology earlier this year when I published an article addressing Kaspa, an up-and-coming blockDAG-based project.

At the time of writing, KAS was trading at approximately $0.03 and has recently…

Observing their portfolios would reveal a level of heavy concentration in a single asset, or ecosystem. This can be a fantastic approach… but only if it’s correct. If something happens to your beloved project or ecosystem, you can kiss…

Researching Altcoin Gems – My Screening Process
A Process Of Elimination Identifying altcoins, and especially micro-caps, that are primed for future success can be a lengthy process, especially if you are going to go about it correctly.

Kaspa – A New Name In The World Of Layer 1s

Layer 1s In The Next Bull Market – 5 Chains To Dominate?
So, Where Were We? Prior to all the carnage that came packaged together with the bear market of 2022, layer 1s had somewhat of a “predictable” path mapped out.

Decentralization Becomes Imperative In 2023

Still To Make Its Mark?
Centralized Implosion Last year was an absolute disaster on so many fronts and in so many ways. Ultimately, we witnessed the devastating effects of centralization, and just how dangerous it really is.

The Layer 1 Dilemma
Amazing Returns Layer 1 blockchains have been at the forefront of securing spectacular gains for investors ever since Ethereum launched at $0.31. Projects such as Solana, Cardano, and BNB have all gone on to secure enormous gains. Yes, even at current prices, Solana is still significantly higher than its ICO price, which is $0.22. An…

Hedging Your Ethereum Investment
A New Chapter The Merge marks a new chapter in the evolution and progression of Ethereum. Although, some would not necessarily consider a shift to POS progression. Either way, it signals a new phase, and hopefully one that will be beneficial. I personally began to average out of ETH between $4500 and $3500. This is…

Solana & Avalanche – Powerplays For 2025
The Ongoing Battle I am sure that many will agree that ETH will continue to dominate the layer 1 space, especially with the shift to POS. Many are excluded from utilizing ETH-based projects due to exorbitant gas fees. The shift to proof-of-stake is expected to reduce gas fees considerably and subsequently increase the userbase.
