Barry Silbert is betting big on Bittensor. To him, it’s the next wave, a big paradigm shift just like Bitcoin, Ethereum and the gang. Having weathered the stormy seas of the crypto winter and now the genesis crisis, he is due a new beginning. You cannot fault the man for...
Cryptocurrency is an ever-changing space, with new ideas disrupting the past of industry incumbents every day. One of the most talked-about contenders is Bittensor – an open-source, decentralized AI network that’s turning heads. Or is it really positioned to actually shake things up and change the way the industry works?...
Barry Silbert. To many the name evokes thoughts of untold 2017 crypto bitcoin riches, Grayscale’s crypto kingdom and most recently the downfall of Genesis. These days, however, he’s placing his biggest bets on Bittensor, a decentralized AI network that he believes is the wave of the future. Yet the prospect...

To state the obvious, the world has become pretty crazy these days, right? We’re still reeling from inflation, teeth-grinding geopolitical tensions, and now…this.

It's a fun way to maybe make some extra cash." He loads up a few hundred bucks into these dorky looking...
Alright, let's cut to the chase. Trump wants those interest rates slashed. He's practically breathing down Powell's neck. What’s not up for debate is why states are making this shift. The impact on crypto, especially altcoins, would be nothing short of monumental. Forget Lambos, think liberation. This isn’t just about...
Alright, let's cut to the chase. The rumors spread and the heat is on. Despite all outward appearances, though those may be deceiving, the Fed is preparing to cut interest rates any day now. Trump has not just been highly publicized, he has been opinionated. I’m deeply cynical about following...

It’s closer to giving Wall Street keys to a shiny but ill-tempered Ferrari.Stability or Speculation?Let's be real. The stated reasoning for this...

Imagine this: You're 22, just scraped together a couple grand from working your butt off at a dead-end job. First, you’ll notice that you’re seeing Trump – the Trump – apparently endorsing this TRUMP meme coin. "Finally," you think, "a chance to stick it to the man, get in on...
