Economists Vouch for Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin as Nobel Prize Contender

Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin may be up for the Nobel Prize in Economics thanks to his contributions to cryptocurrency, two notable economists argued on a recent podcast. This comes ahead of the award announcement on Monday, October 14. Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarro, two economics professors, spoke on the podcast for their joint economic blog Marginal Revolution as they questioned who may win the upcoming Nobel Prize in Economics. After throwing a few names around, they eventually pondered if...

Trump or Biden? Why Crypto Could Decide the Next US President

With 144 days left until the November 5 election to decide the next president of the United States, the most recent data from the polling prognosticators over at ABC News' 538 report a statistical dead heat. However, their new electoral college modeling predicts that Democratic incumbent Joe Biden wins 53 out of 100 simulations, while presumptive Republican challenger Donald Trump wins the remaining 47 computerized scenarios—results that are well within the margin of error. With both party bases...

Ethereum ETFs May Have Ended the SEC’s War on Crypto

May’s approval of spot Ethereum ETFs by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was the chef’s kiss on what can only be described as a banner month for crypto policy—and the move could severely undermine the SEC’s ongoing crypto crackdown. As the deadline to approve the Ethereum ETFs loomed, a bipartisan group of House of Representatives members sent a letter to SEC Chair Gary Gensler urging the Commission to not only approve the funds, but to also consider approval of “other”...

A Crypto Startup Founder’s Diary

For years, I told myself that I’m not the founder type. Instead, I try to be that strong operator who makes founders’ dreams come true. Perhaps the avoidance of being a founder comes from my Chinese upbringing. As my mother often says: “A gun shoots the first bird that sticks its head out.” She didn’t want me to be that first bird.  So until recently, my career was defined by the idea of working hard toward someone else’s vision—until I stumbled into crypto. Crypto is self-sovereignty, starting...

My 24 Hours in the Flooded Crypto Apocalypse of Dubai

“My bags are underwater!” the crypto bro exclaimed. His hands were in the air, while his chrome AirPods Max headphones were still, as ever, over his ears. It only took him a second to realize the irony of his phrasing. He cracked a smile. “But like, literally!”  The bro, like myself and countless others, had just arrived at Dubai International Airport on Tuesday evening, expecting a quick taxi to a luxury hotel, a few Instagram stories worth of opulence, perhaps some sort of overpriced fusion me...

Why DeCC Is the Future of Crypto

We often talk about the value of “decentralization” delivered by blockchain technology. This term often represents robustness, censorship resistance, and a “bottom-up” system of support that could help secure and democratize world-changing applications. The benefits of decentralization are already being realized across a number of major fields, including finance (DeFi), physical infrastructure (DePIN), social networks (DeSo), scientific research (DeSci), artificial intelligence, and more. Realis...
