I’m just going to get straight to the point — the bull is back and with a vengeance. Bitcoin is up 60% year-to-date and a whopping 127% since the yearly lows of March 12. Meanwhile, altcoins have been on an absolute ripper throughout the year.

Chainlink is up nearly 7x in 2020!

Retail investors are starting to feel FOMO. ‘Trading crypto’ is an acceptable answer to ‘What have you been up to?” once again. Institutions are buying, tech is evolving and crazy rallies are pumping adrenaline and dopamine into an industry that has pulled through a long crypto winter.

Those of us who were around last time…

In the aftermath of the Great Recession, Satoshi Nakamoto released code that demonstrated a decentralized, peer-to-peer system for sending and receiving currency, radically transforming finance in the process. Central to this new system, which powered the digital currency he called Bitcoin, was the underlying technology known as the blockchain－a distributed, digital ledger that would be maintained by its community instead of by banks.

The very genesis of blockchain was a rebellion against banks and the system they enabled. In the first Bitcoin block－the digital ledger entry that includes the first transaction ever made using this new currency－Satoshi wrote: “The Times…

During the current COVID-19 crises, central banks around the world have unleashed unprecedented stimulus measures to keep the economy afloat. In just 4 months, the US Federal Reserve has added $1.2 trillion to the M1 money supply. This infusion of liquidity has driven stock markets higher and enriched the capital class, all the while ordinary workers are suffering from closures, furloughs, evictions and retrenchment.

If there is one sentence that encapsulates Warren Buffet’s market thinking, this is it. The Oracle of Omaha is famous for his contrarian investment thesis which has cemented his status as one of history’s greatest managers of money.

“Ogres are like onions… Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers.”

Well, Shrek, you know what else has layers?

Blockchains. Blockchain have layers.

Designers of base-layer protocols have shifted their thoughts on how to scale their creations. Whereas in the early years, the focus was on proving the robustness…

Tim Berner’s Lee, the humble genius that gifted us the World Wide Web, has recently been doing the rounds to lament the direction his creation has taken in the two decades since its birth. The British academic has watched in horror as the increased centralization of the web has produced “a large-scale emergent phenomenon which is anti-human.” His vision for healing a broken Internet closely mirrors the ethos of Web 3.0 builders, with a focus on true data ownership and robust privacy measures playing a central role in both camps.
