Silly, Stupid Lists. Why Crypto MarketCap Lists are BS | CryptoConscious
Here’s a hot take: All crypto asset price trackers currently provide silly, stupid lists. Let me explain why. No matter whether you get price data from CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, CryptoCompare, CoinLib, CoinCap, the newly launched OpenMarketCap, or even your favorite exchange: you always get a simple list that ranks all kinds of crypto assets in a…… Continue reading Silly, Stupid Lists.

Untangling the Different Crypto Innovation Streams | CryptoConscious #5
This installment of CryptoConscious is overdue. Sorry! This post took me more than one hour and partial publishing didn’t make sense imho. Some of you might know that I’m a big proponent of clarity, precision, and nuance. Especially in a newly emerging space like the blockchain/crypto/web3/DLT ecosystem, however, all of them are often lacking. Whenever…… Continue reading Untangling the Different Crypto Innovation Streams | CryptoConscious #5
Bitcoin Bear Thoughts: The No-MoE Problem | CryptoConscious #4
Let’s continue where we left off yesterday. Yes, I think Bitcoin has intrinsic value. However, I don’t believe that Bitcoin will ever turn into the web’s medium of exchange. Let’s briefly revisit yesterday’s network effects point.

Intrinsic Bitcoin Value? Pt. 1| CryptoConscious #2
A few days ago, I watched an entertaining debate about Bitcoin between ShapeShift CEO Erik Voorhees and Peter Schiff, a well-known American financial commentator, stockbroker and the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital. The main question posed in there was whether or not Bitcoin (or some other cryptocurrency) would end up replacing state-issued fiat currency as a…… Continue reading Intrinsic Bitcoin Value?

Yet, in between launching the Untitled INC network, working with several clients on their blockchain projects and ICOs, learning a bunch, and meeting many new people, I didn’t find…… Continue reading CryptoConscious #1: Introduction

But according to my stats on Medium, the story was only viewed 23 times (Medium also provides a KPI called Reads which is an approximation of the number of people who actually read it; that number is even…… Continue reading A Quick Illustration of Twitter’s Flaws
