What if Bitcoin Replaced Money Entirely?
Picture a Monday morning where the numbers on your payslip, your rent, your supermarket receipt, even your tax code are all denominated in satoshis. Not a quirky add-on at checkout, not a loyalty-program gimmick, but the money itself. The rules that currently sit in policy papers and committee minutes—interest-rate corridors, collateral frameworks, emergency liquidity—are replaced […]
Bitcoin’s Hustler: Michael Saylor
Michael Saylor is one of those figures who makes people either nod in admiration or roll their eyes — often both. In less than a decade he went from a dot‑com era software CEO to the most visible corporate Bitcoin evangelist. Under his watch, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) ripped up the old treasury playbook and bet […]
Ethereum Hackers Find Clever Ways to Hide Malware in Smart Contracts
A creative twist links two tiny packages to a wider web of fake “crypto bot” repos ReversingLabs researchers noted in a recent blog post that attackers have found a new way to smuggle malicious software to developers: by hiding key instructions inside Ethereum smart contracts. The discovery centers on two npm packages published in July—colortoolsv2 […]

Think of Ethereum like a global, programmable computer that also happens to have its own money. It’s not just a cryptocurrency — it’s the platform that made smart contracts, DeFi and NFTs possible. If you’re new to crypto, here’s a friendly, plain-English guide to what Ethereum is, how it works, why the 2022 “Merge” mattered, […]
Fusaka: Ethereum’s quietest upgrade in years could matter the most
Ethereum’s next hard fork, colloquially dubbed Fusaka, is slated for around November 2025. It won’t rearrange anyone’s wallet UI or force token migrations; it’s an engineering tune-up that bundles roughly a dozen protocol changes aimed at making the network lighter, tougher, and easier to build on. Think server-room overhaul, not new app icon. The work […]
Pay Less Bitcoin Transaction Fees in 2025 (and why it even matters)
Bitcoin transaction fees have been wild lately. One moment they’re sky-high around big events; a year later they can be almost laughably low. If you move money on-chain, run a treasury, or build anything that touches Bitcoin, fees aren’t just trivia — they’re an operational headache. Knowing why fees jump and how to avoid overpaying […]
Identifying Warning Signs of Dead Crypto Projects
Quick personal note: Dead crypto projects happen all the time. I once almost bought into a tiny token because the marketing looked slick. It took me five minutes checking the repo and explorer and I bailed — no commits for a year, zero transactions, and a Discord with bots posting memes. This saved me a […]

That means every weight, the training code, and the data methodology will be public — trained on a carbon‑neutral supercomputer in Switzerland and shared under Apache 2.0. If you […]
