The Ferrari Purosangue starts at $400k!Ferrari broke its promise, but not our hearts, with the new Ferrari Purosangue. The all-new, finger-licking, head-tilting, Ferrari Purosangue.

Who are the richest people in crypto?Let me tell you a story about shovels. But I think you already know what it is. The 1800s, California Gold Rush. Everyone wanted to go dig gold out of the ground and make easy money. Turns out, the ones who sought gold didn’t make much. The ones who sold the equipment to dig struck the real gold. “Back during the 1849 California Gold Rush, few prospectors struck it rich. Most of the people who made money back then were those who “sold shovels” (and jeans, ...

Queen Elizabeth has been our queen for the past 70 years.Queen Elizabeth II has left us peacefully at the age of 96. Reigning for more than 70 years, she has been one of the longest serving monarch in history. Revered and respected by nations and generations, she has seen it all. From world wars to peacetime, from horse carriages to motor cars, from the telegraph to web3. I mean just the sheer amount of experience and wisdom she has accumulated over the decades is just unfathomable. Since the...

A kg of Cocaine and 1 Btc is approximately the same price now.Yup, that’s a random fact you probably didn’t know. If you did, I need to know why and how. But depending on where you get your cocaine from, 1kg of that white powder is about the same price as 1 Bitcoin (~$20–25k). That’s what I learn after watching someone explain how cocaine trafficking works. What an absolutely fascinating interview. Truly a random, educational, meaningful and insightful narrative on the world of trafficking. O...

Was Solana was a huge promise that never quite delivered?I just wrote an article about Solana’s outages, hacks and promise of being an Eth-killer. Seems like there are more troubles beneath the blankets. Apparently, 2 brothers, Ian and Dylan Macalinao, faked a dozen different identities and built Saber Protocol to boost the TVL of Solana. Saber was the biggest DeFi App on Solana. TVL is the total value locked and a commonly used indicator on how large and successful a blockchain is. More valu...
