What would you do if you were not affraid?
Is self-censorship the worst kind of censorship? I never though much about what "self-censorship" means before. Wikipedia says:Self-censorship is the act of censoring or classifying one's own discourse. This is done out of fear of, or deference to, the sensibilities or preferences (actual or perceived) of others and without overt pressure from any specific party or institution of authority.So basically avoiding to use your right for free speech out of fear, eventhough no-one is actually ...

From web3 to web3.2
As we are designing our protocol and platform for Rubix and NFT Engage, we are standing in front of architectural decisions that many other projects deal with. We are still early and so, as with any cutting edge technology, we are all reinventing each others' wheels and design the same things over and over. Following post muses about web3 platform architecture from the perspective of a web2 architect. Many current web3 DApps use relatively simple architecture.Web App usually uses React.j...

Building an Earning Protocol - The Philosophy
Do you know what the most played and most controversial game of our lives is? I believe it is "The Money Game" and I don't mean Monopoly. Our wealth is the largest global leaderboard. We all are playing - some more succesfully, some less. Few have a good headstart when they join, many are basically disqualified at the beginning. In any case, making, accumulating and spending money as well as creating wealth are things we are all familiar with, love them or hate them. At Rubix we think we...

NFTs Are Incomprehensible and Useless
Whenever I open my "real life" Twitter account, there is someone hating on web3 and NFTs - why should I buy ugly monkey pictures? Why is a QR code as a conference ticket not enough? Why would anyone care if some number is stored on blockchain over a database in the cloud? Then I open my "crypto" Twitter account and the sentiment is very different. Obviously, two different social bubbles coming in with completely different contexts. Let me be clear upfront - I strongly disagree with the title,...

Trust in Trustless World
We keep promising a “trustless” protocols and systems in and around web3, but we rarely deliver on that promise. Maybe it is not even possible to do that. Maybe “trustless” just means “as little trust put into a stranger as possible”. Let’s explore. Blockchain and web3 (or web5, or web42) promise a trustless environment. Ecosystem where you do not need to trust third parties to manage your funds, to gate access to your belongings, to make sure your “good” is taken care of. Most often this is ...
