The relentless fixation on price within the cryptocurrency sphere often overshadows the profound technological and societal shifts these digital assets represent. To reduce cryptocurrency solely to “number goes up” is akin to evaluating Apple solely on its stock price, disregarding the revolutionary impact of the iPhone or the vast ecosystem of services it fostered. Similarly, focusing solely on Bitcoin's price appreciation, as advocated by Michael Saylor's "Saylorism," neglects the diverse a...

Ever wonder how "alive" the Ethereum network truly is? It's not just about the number of ETH in existence, but how actively that ETH is being used within its digital ecosystem. This is where the idea of velocity comes in, similar to the well-known concept about the velocity of money. Think of it like the economy of a bustling city. A high velocity of money means cash is constantly changing hands, fueling businesses and growth. Similarly, the velocity of ETH measures how frequently Ether moves...

The digital landscape is once again grappling with a concept crucial to its equitable and open functioning. Just as the debate around “net neutrality” defined the guiding principles of an open internet, a new imperative is emerging within the burgeoning world of blockchain technology that we should pay attention to: “chain neutrality.” However, unlike its predecessor, chain neutrality delves deeper, reaching into the very foundational ethos and operational mechanics of decentralized systems. ...

Canada is uniquely positioned to lead global blockchain innovation — small enough to act swiftly, yet large enough to matter. While the U.S. remains bogged down by regulatory gridlock, Canada boasts deep blockchain roots, world-class talent, and a simpler governance structure. With bold policy moves, including tax reform, streamlined regulation, and national crypto reserves, Canada can become the first G7 country to fully embrace a blockchain-forward future.

I'm not the only one asking this question: Why hasn’t Ethereum’s financial performance reflected the scale of its adoption and innovation? After spending considerable time thinking about it, I believe the answer lies in a combination of messaging, market perception, and ecosystem dynamics.1. Ethereum Has a Messaging ProblemAt its core, Ethereum suffers from a fundamental communication gap. Competitors have been relentless in spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD)—often without a factual...

ETHEREUM EXECUTIVE PRIMER - Ethereum is the core infrastructure of Web3, transcending the definition of a mere blockchain. This primer highlights its unique strengths: an infinitely scalable architecture through a modular Layer 2 ecosystem, a decentralized and robust governance model fostering continuous innovation, and growing institutional trust evidenced by its adoption in digital finance and tokenized assets. The platform benefits from the largest and most engaged developer ...

Nowadays, you can make money by merely issuing tokens using financial engineering schemes before even gaining usage or proving market fit. One after another, a new dreamer comes along, thinking they can create a better or faster or cheaper chain than Ethereum. [Ethereum is used as a reference because it’s the most successful developer-focused blockchain, and by virtue of its leadership position, it gets attacked the most...

The recent White House Crypto Summit, while perhaps not delivering the seismic policy shifts some anticipated, marked a pivotal moment in the relationship between the U.S. government and the burgeoning digital asset industry. The Summit showcased both the strengths and limitations of government involvement. While some expected more in terms of clear-cut directives, what we saw instead was something arguably more valuable—a symbolic celebration of openness, a tacit acknowledgment of the indust...

The journey from a token launch to a self-sustaining token-based economy is far more complex than it is often made to seem. A major issue in this space is the misinterpretation and misuse of the term Tokenomics, leading to short-term hype cycles that often overshadow the foundational economic principles necessary for long term viability.

If I had a 1:1 with Vitalik Buterin today like we used to, regularly in 2014-2016, I would tell him this. No, this is how the game is played. You created Ethereum, now the largest development-driven ecosystem in the blockchain space. It grew and grew and grew I’m sure beyond your initial imagination. So, you have a responsibility to grow with it. The community is not asking the Ethereum Foundation to change its mission or what it fundamentally does. We are asking it to do better than it did 6...
