The dream of autonomous AI agents seamlessly transacting in the tech-surfed over web3 landscape is...
So, Nike and Starbucks are fleeing from NFTs? Good riddance. C’mon, let’s not kid ourselves, their “Web3” experiments were less real than reality TV. They weren’t constructing a community, they were creating a customer base to siphon off.Corporate NFT Exit: Good Riddance!Recall that first wave of enthusiasm when NFTs first...
Remember the Beanie Baby craze? The tulip mania of the 1600s? We should have known better—a speculative bubble, or two. Maybe we had learned our lesson. Apparently not.

The DOOD token's launch wasn't just a blip. It's a blaring siren for crypto's real problem: wealth inequality. From a distance, you can watch the hype, the million-dollar market cap dreams, and then bam, the rug pull in slow motion. DOOD’s drop is not a surprising one-off. It’s the canary...
When the DOOD token launched, there was quite a bit of excitement. As the brainchild of the world-famous Doodles NFT collection, it rocked the already raucous NFT world. A minimum of a $100 million market cap from day one? It reeked of excitement, it whistled of hype, and quite honestly,...
