Imagine explaining the value proposition of $DOGE to a hostile inquirer. To them crypto is what it is to many: at best, a meaningless capitalist fad and, at worst, a scam-ridden plague. Perhaps plague is too strong but you get my meaning. Regardless, this hypothetical acquaintance stands in opposition to crypto as a whole, and $DOGE, having gathered public mindshare, is to them a shining example of the industry’s frivolity. “Explain to me how $DOGE isn’t worthless.” You hesitate. How to expla...

Modularity is hot. I know it, you know it. But we don’t get it (or at least I don’t). Join me as I stumble and bumble my way to minimum viable understanding. This week we’re discussing Wormhole, an “open source blockchain development platform connecting the decentralized web.” Ah yes, of course! That makes intuitive sense to me. Matthew McConaughey go weeeeeeeeeeee In my (moviegoing) experience a wormhole is a portal of sorts that turns interstellar travel up to 11. Where travel was once slow...

Modularity is hot. I know it, you know it. But we don’t get it (or at least I don’t). Join me as I stumble and bumble my way to minimum viable understanding. Week 1 is all about Movement Labs, the first “network of modular Move-based blockchains.” I know some of those words! Turns out this has nothing to do with Stepn I, like you, initially assumed Movement Labs was providing a framework for some sort of physical activity/blockchain integration. Obviously step-to-earn had been done, but maybe...

“Whose is it? It’s mine. No you can’t have it. Because…because I can’t really share it. No there’s no real way of holding it. Looking at it like we are now, together, is the closest to holding it that I can offer you. Yes, FUNgible. No the point is that it’s not fungible. Like I have two of you but it’s important that you’re individuals; if I had two fungible kids I wouldn’t even need to give you names.” “Yes, you just get the money for nothing. It’s called an airdrop. Well not for nothing, u...

This week we’re discussing Hyperlane, the “first interoperability layer that enables you to permissionlessly connect any blockchain.” This text editor and the fine folks at The Internet are convinced “permissionlessly” is not a word, but then again they probably don’t yet know about Hyperlane. Another bridge? More like Hyperlame I first ...
