What a fabulous week for crypto! Bitcoin went up from 16K to 21 K, and several alt-coins either started the race or followed suit. While this increase is an indication that the market is not dead. It is too soon to confirm that the bull market has returned. However, a clear indication that the market has consolidated, and volume is bound to come back.  As of now, it is pivotal to stay connected with the news and understand what type of headlines can affect the market. Bankrupting exchanges, large hacks, and hikes in US Federal Reserve interest rates are among some factors that have a direct effect on how the markets behave. The shake of 2022 was real. It crashed several institutional players and with it emptying the hands of millions of retail investors. The investors that do come back will eventually "come back" more educated about self-custody and decentralized finance.  Trust is built, but a greedy market comes in waves and they do not always coincide. When the market drai

If you are reading this post, congratulations. You have survived the 2022 bear market! Happy new year to you.  We may be far from another bull run, however after so much FUD the market is bound to bounce back at some point this year or the next. After significant dips, the cryptocurrency market tends to lateralize. And that's what I expect for a good part of 2023 unless we see another dip caused by macroeconomic conditions.  It is just a matter of time, and patience is key during these times.  On another note, after the bear market is over you will realize how many projects you felt had substance during the bull run simply disappeared.

The fundamentals are security, scalability, reliability, and decentralization. How many cryptocurrencies have a good balance of them all? Not many actually!  In fact, in 2017 I invest

During the Consensus 2022 conference, I had the pleasure to interview one of the most significant figures in crypto: The one and only David Chaum.  David Chaum is an American computer scientist, developer, cryptographer, and inventor. Ahead of his time, when the internet was first introduced, David Chaum foresaw several privacy issues that would arise from it. And since then, He dedicated a lifetime to creating solutions to combat the surveillance state and protect digital privacy. One solution that inspired the birth of Bitcoin and blockchain technology was the invention of E-cash, also known as Digicash. Other solutions that he developed are vault systems, blind signatures, and mix networks. A full suite of solutions that enables him to take his work even further. Currently, as noted on his site: "David is currently leading  xx network , a completely private, quantum-secure decentralized messaging and payment platform". He continues to innovate, and in this interview, we wi
