Imagine this: Sarah, a 16-year-old from Ohio, just bought her first car – with crypto she earned selling digital art as NFTs. Not from mowing lawns, not from a summer job flipping hamburgers, but from the undeniable power of Web3. Think about that for a second.The old rules are dead....
$2.18 billion vanished into thin air. This crypto crash has occurred at a tremendous human cost. It’s everyday investors who are paying the price, many of whom were lured in by the hope of getting rich quick. It’s easy to get lost in the glitz, the blinding dreams of a...
Forget the Lambos. Engaging with XRP Analysts Gen Z recognizes the true potential of XRP. That’s seen as more than one analyst’s laughable $45 prediction. We, like you, believe in its real-world applications and possibilities. Thinking about them in terms of profits is missing the point. We're thinking bigger –...
Is Bitcoin really a safe haven? Or is it simply a new playground for the wealthy, cloaked in decentralization and empowerment rhetoric? During my six years at DOT.FINANCE I’ve seen a crypto landscape once confined to a fringe-technical experiment, blossom into a global-encompassing mania. I’m starting to think that Gen...
We've all seen the headlines: XRP spikes to ridiculous prices like $21,000 on live TV, or crashes to fractions of a penny on some obscure exchange. It's alarming, no doubt. Before we start clamoring for the heavy hand of government to "fix" things, let's take a deep breath and consider...
The crypto market doesn’t care about your feelings. I know, it’s not what anyone wants to hear—it’s a hard truth that all investors, including those gambling with altcoins like XRP, need to hear. Too often, I hear the speculative retail investor blaming market manipulation, “whales,” or even Ripple itself when...
The SEC finally offers guidance on crypto. Great, right? Wrong. After digging into it, it doesn’t really feel like a velvet-gloved crackdown, and would you believe it, guess who’s going to get squeezed hardest. The little guy. This isn’t investor protection—this is opening the door for Wall Street to devour...
The crypto buzz is deafening. Everyone’s talking about becoming overnight millionaires, particularly with XRP. But hold on there, Gen Z, let’s pump the brakes for a moment. That $2 XRP daydream is beginning to take a turn. Truthfully, you’re the ones who stand to suffer the most when you are...
It's a digital Wild West, isn't it? Filled with promise, yes, but likewise overflowing with treachery. As much as we’d like to sugarcoat it, let’s not kid ourselves. To have faith that a regulatory agency will come flying in on the safety mandate to save everybody is just patently ludicrous....
Let's be blunt: This isn't about securing America's financial future. It's about securing votes. It's economic bribery, plain and simple. The Trump administration’s crypto reserve initiative to position the U.S. as a global “crypto capital” sounds like a bait and switch. This perfect storm might be particularly bad news for...
The crypto landscape has undeniably shifted. We’re past the point of this being a niche market controlled by the tinkerers and tech savvy cypherpunks. All of a sudden, your neighbor and your barista are getting into Bitcoin and Ethereum. Even your mom is getting in on a confusing cryptos-mania! Binance's...
Wall Street would love for you to believe that finance is rocket science, an elaborate game only they know how to play. They want you handing over your hard-earned cash to them, so they can profit. But guess what? The game's changing. Crypto is returning the control to you, the...
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...
The excitement surrounding the upcoming Trump Gala Dinner for TRUMP meme coin holders 🥳 is palpable. Set for May 22 nd, 2025, it’s either a masterful move of marketing genius or an impending big flop in the making. political fundraising of all time, or simply another celebrity-endorsed crypto pump-and-dump scam....
BexBack. The name of the program alone makes it sound like something out of a 90s science fiction movie. And frankly, their business model doesn’t seem too far behind – and potentially even more hazardous to progress. Offering 100x leverage and no KYC? It’s the equivalent of giving a teenager...
Okay, let's talk BexBack. You might have heard the ads – 100x leverage! Trade BTC, ETH, all the altcoins! A $50 welcome bonus just for trying? Sounds like a party, right? And maybe it is, for some. But for others, it may be a fiscal encumbrance that sticks with them...
Take Sarah, a bright, ambitious college student whom I had the pleasure of meeting at a Grace Hopper Celebration event last fall. She was all-in on NFTs.
