There is a character in the NFT ecosystem that you have probably heard of if you've been in crypto for a while: Charlotte Fang. Behind her is Remilia Corporation, the studio that created Milady Maker, one of those collections that made a mark in the NFT market. But the story of how they got here is quite wild.
Fang, also known as Krishna Okhandiar, is an accelerationist theorist and avant-garde artist. She got into NFTs around 2021 with a project called Yayo that didn't last long. But then Charlotte Fang and her team launched Milady Maker in August 2021: 10k neo-chibi NFTs on Ethereum. Their r

I just reviewed something that many beginner traders tend to overlook and that really makes a difference in trades: the importance of waiting for confirmation candles in trading.
Look, anyone can see an uptrend or downtrend pattern on the chart, but that's where the problem lies. Most enter without confirmation and end up caught in false signals. I've seen too many people lose money exactly because of that.
What works is simple but requires discipline. When you see a strong bullish setup followed by a solid green candle, that is a reliable signal to buy. The same applies in reverse: a bearish

I just reviewed a case that probably many in the crypto community prefer to forget. Nikolai Mushegian, co-founder of MakerDAO, was found dead in October 2022 on a beach in Puerto Rico under circumstances that never fully became clear.
The strange part: hours before his death, Mushegian posted a series of quite disturbing tweets. He talked about intelligence agencies, human trafficking networks, extortion. He said they wanted to frame him and torture him. Later, his body was found in Condado.
Local authorities said there was nothing suspicious. A small laceration on the skull, nothing more. The

I've been thinking about something that probably many people don't fully understand: exactly how much is a ton. It seems simple, but the reality is that it depends quite a bit on the context and the region you're in.
The interesting thing is that there isn't a single answer. There are three main types used in different parts of the world. The metric ton is the most universal, equivalent to 1,000 kilograms or about 2,204 pounds. It's what you typically see in scientific research and in most countries. Then there's the short ton in the United States, which is 2,000 pounds (approximately 907 kilo

I have been in this space for a while and have noticed something interesting: most people believe in the lie of cryptocurrencies without really researching. So I decided to review the most repeated myths and see what truth is behind them.
Let's start with the most classic one: that Bitcoin is a tool for criminals. You hear this constantly, right? But here’s the interesting part – only 0.34% of crypto transactions are linked to illegal activities. Meanwhile, fiat money is used much more frequently for money laundering. So, why does the narrative still persist that cryptocurrencies are the probl

I've spent years watching traders get lost in indicators and patterns, when in reality they should be studying something much more fundamental: liquidity zones. Most believe that price moves because of trend lines or because a head and shoulders pattern appeared. But that's just the surface. Smart money moves prices toward liquidity zones because that's where they find the orders they need to fill. Without liquidity, there is no real movement.
Think of it this way: liquidity zones are where institutional money knows it will find stop-loss orders, pending orders from retail traders, and breakou

Bro, I’m going to tell you something that happened to me recently. I was waiting for an important launch, saw that it said "12:00 PM UTC" and thought "well, noon in my country." Spoiler: I arrived completely late. Turns out I didn’t understand what UTC is and almost missed an opportunity. So here’s what I learned.
Coordinated Universal Time, that’s what it’s called. UTC is basically the global reference clock, the time that doesn’t change with seasons or daylight saving adjustments. Think of it as the central clock that all other countries compare themselves to. Everything in crypto revolves a

It seems that every week there's a new crypto rumor promising to make you rich overnight. This time, everyone is talking about Cristiano Ronaldo supposedly preparing his own CR7 meme coin. Sounds exciting, right? The problem is, nothing has been confirmed. Neither Ronaldo nor his team have said a word about it.
What's interesting is that the speculation probably originated from his collaboration with a trading platform where he launched a limited NFT collection. But that's completely unrelated to creating a meme token. However, in a $4 trillion market, rumors spread faster than a Ronaldo goal,

Mining cryptocurrencies with a cellphone is more accessible than it seems, although there is quite a bit of debate about whether it’s really worth it. I’ve seen several users try this, and the results vary a lot.
Basically, there are specialized apps that use your phone’s hardware to generate hash power. Some, like CryptoTab, allow you to activate direct mining and earn Bitcoin, although the performance is quite modest. Other options are cloud mining services, where you rent hash power instead of using your device directly. Apps like StormGain, NiceHash, and Bitdeer work this way: you set up y

Recently, I was researching the best ways to withdraw bitcoins for cash, and honestly, there are more options than I thought. If you have BTC and want to convert it into real money, here’s what I found.
The most straightforward option is to use an exchange. Basically, you create an account, verify your identity, send your bitcoins, and then sell them for USD, EUR, or whatever currency you use. The money arrives in your bank account in 1 to 3 days. The advantage is that it’s simple and there’s guaranteed liquidity. The downside is the fees they charge and the waiting time.
If you’re looking for

I just reviewed the ranking of the most expensive cities in the world for 2025 and things are pretty crazy. It turns out Switzerland almost monopolizes everything: Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne, Lugano, and Bern occupy the top six spots. It’s no coincidence, honestly.
What’s interesting is how the index works. They take New York as the baseline with 100 points. Zurich is at 112.5, which means living there is about 12.5% more expensive than Manhattan. Geneva follows very closely with 111.4, and Basel with 110.7. When you see the numbers, you understand why so many people talk about how expens

Years ago, something happened that still generates debate in the crypto community. Gerald Cotten, CEO of a Canadian exchange called QuadrigaCX, traveled to India on his honeymoon with his wife in late 2018. He seemed to have it all: young, charismatic, a billionaire. But on December 9, with only 30 years of age, he died in a hospital in Jaipur due to complications of Crohn.
That’s where things get strange. A few days later, the exchange completely collapsed. And here is the serious part: Gerald Cotten was the only person with access to the cold wallets where more than $250 million in Bitcoin a

I just reviewed something quite peculiar about Richard Heart and how he managed to secure a legal victory that most crypto projects would never be able to achieve. The SEC dismissed his fraud charges on February 28, and in April they confirmed they would not appeal. He’s now claiming that HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX gained regulatory clarity that almost no other coin has in the United States.
But here’s the interesting part: Richard Heart’s victory appears to be based more on technicalities than on actual innocence. Judge Carol Bagley Amon ruled that because Heart does not live in the United S

I just read a story that left me thinking a lot. In the 19th century, in São Paulo, Brazil, there was an extraordinary man named Pata Seca, a slave whose life became almost legendary. What’s most surprising is how fate marked him in such a particular way.
This man measured approximately 2.18 meters, an unusual height for his time. His owners, of course, saw this as a brutal business opportunity: they decided to use him exclusively for the reproduction of slaves. According to reports, Pata Seca fathered between 200 and 300 children during the period of slavery. It’s almost incomprehensible to t

I just noticed that many people in crypto still don't really understand how liquidity pools work. It's funny because once you get it, it's hard not to see them everywhere in DeFi.
Basically, imagine a liquidity pool as a mechanism where you deposit two cryptocurrencies (say ETH and USDT) into a smart contract. It's not magic; it's simply a system where anyone can become a liquidity provider. The interesting part is that these pools are what enable DEXs to operate without a traditional order book.
Now, how do you make money from this? When you add your coins to a liquidity pool, you receive a p

I’ve been noticing for a while that many people who are just starting trading don’t really understand how Japanese candlesticks work, so I thought it would be useful to share what I’ve learned about it.
Japanese candlesticks are basically the most visual way to understand what’s happening with prices. They were born in Japan hace siglos when rice traders needed a way to read the market, and honestly, they still remain one of the most effective tools we have today. What’s interesting is that with just a glance at the pattern a candlestick forms, you can grasp in seconds what happened during tha

So I discovered these Tap to Earn games on Telegram and honestly I can't stop playing. If you want to know how to make money with Telegram without investing, these games are quite addictive.
I started with Notcoin a few months ago when it launched in January, and it was simply tapping a gold coin. It sounds boring but it constantly generated points. Now there are a lot of similar options but with more dynamics. Hamster Kombat is probably the most popular now, with hundreds of millions of users since its launch. The concept is that you manage your own virtual crypto exchange and earn more as yo

For years, Gerald Cotten's case remains one of the most intriguing mysteries in the crypto world. Cotten was not just any entrepreneur; in 2013, he co-founded what became Canada's largest cryptocurrency exchange, QuadrigaCX. At that time, when Bitcoin was still a relatively unknown asset, Cotten was seen as a visionary bringing decentralized financial freedom to the Canadian masses.
What’s interesting about Gerald Cotten’s case is how a single person held all the power. Unlike other exchanges that distributed responsibilities, Cotten maintained exclusive control of the private keys to Quadriga

I just fell into Jen Stark's rabbit hole of work, and honestly, I can't stop looking. If you've ever seen those hypnotic geometric patterns that seem to jump off the screen, it's probably her behind them. This artist who moves between Miami and Los Angeles has something special: she takes direct inspiration from nature but transforms it into something that looks like it's from an alternate dimension.
The interesting thing is how Jen Stark almost accidentally entered the NFT world. She spent years working with traditional media, sculpting paper, working with metal and wood, developing her visua

I see that aPriori is already nearly halfway through their airdrop, reaching 49% of claims. It's interesting because they recently raised a significant amount of capital, I believe it was $20 million in August if I'm not mistaken, with some pretty serious funds invested in the round.
The thing with aPriori is that they focus on solving real problems in the crypto market, those huge spreads and the MEV issue that steals value from all of us. It's not the typical empty promise, but they use high-frequency trading to tackle these problems. The team had already raised funds before, so confidence
