But in the light of all this, one mystery remains,is human free will still unique? 🔍 What Does AI Actually Decide? Artificial intelligence systems operate by analyzing massive datasets and detecting patterns. No matter how advanced they become, their “decisions” are determini...

Cryptography , the art and science of secret writing , is one of humanity’s oldest tools of security. Throughout history, kings, generals, and diplomats have turned words into numbers, and letters into symbols, to protect their secrets. From the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt to Julius Caesar’s “Caesar Cipher,” and the complex codes of the Renaissance, this story reveals how deeply the need for secrecy has shaped human civilization. Yet, the true turning point in the history of cryptography cam...

The intellectual life was never something that only the elites enjoyed. In 2001, university professor Jonathan Rose published The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes, one of the most illuminating cultural histories of the past few decades. Through an extraordinary range of sources including autobiographies, letters, library archives, miners’ reading circles (more on those later), and Sunday school curricula, Rose overturns the assumption that the working classes of industrial Bri...

One of the biggest mistakes made by both crypto markets and investors was designing cycles based on the previous bull season. 🔄 The Delusion of Old Scenarios The year 2021 occurred in the unique context of a global crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Expecting a similar scenario was generally incorrect, as events like the COVID-like crash are once-in-a-century occurrences ("Black Swan" events). The world had previously experienced similar situations, such as the global malaria outbrea...

OG NFTs and Their Strategic Value Across Networks OG NFTs are the earliest, most iconic collections that shaped NFT culture and hold historical value in the ecosystem. Certain networks create OG NFTs to bring communities together and, for various reasons, make projects more active and accessible. We first saw this with Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). BAYC NFT holders received an APE token airdrop on March 17, 2022, with the following distribution:BAYC holders: 10,094 $APEMAYC (Mutant Ape) holder...

When we first got acquainted with crypto, the main idea that prevailed everywhere was that everything was Bitcoin, and all altcoins were intended only to increase the quantity of Bitcoin. Subsequently, we witnessed many dirty things: the idea that altcoins would go to the dustbin, that project owners' goal was to collect money from people and increase their own Bitcoin count, including insider information and the exploitation of their own tokens. Many examples can be given, such as entering m...

Did you know that Halloween is just the first of a three day, death-centered celebration? Today we explore the origins of Halloween and what it has to do with both the medieval Church, and modern day celebrations like Día de los Muertos. But remember: despite all the morbid imagery, this isn’t a celebration of death , rather, a celebration of eternal life. Here’s a brief overview of the three day season known as “Allhallowtide”…1. All Hallow’s Eve: The VigilHalloween, or All Hallow’s Eve, has...

In the crypto world, the term “airdrop” once referred to a simple incentive mechanism used by ecosystems to attract users. Anyone who completed a few transactions, joined a Discord server, or filled out a basic form could potentially receive token rewards,some of which would go on to gain significant value. But those days might be over. Today, airdrops are taking on a new form,one that rewards not just early participation, but also influence, volume, and social reach. Recent projects like Kai...
