Locarno Film Festival Locarno was buzzing, and we were thrilled to be part of it! From Piazza Grande screenings to meaningful discussions with industry professionals, the festival was a perfect stage for sharing stories and setting the tone for the future of film. At an industry round table, discussions revealed pressing challenges the industry faces, and Dr. Mattia Rattagi represented on how DCP/DCP+ can offer a practical, blockchain-powered path forward. The film industry is hampered by a d...

Our notes on token design...

On Tuesday, July 27th, at 17:00 CET, the HR person in five words pulled the stable foundation away beneath my feet. After nearly two years of working alongside them, I was quickly reduced to a human resource, measured in the cost that could be saved by getting rid of it, as quickly as possible — presumably to make shareholders happy and not stir emotions in current team members — with the least human touch. Of course, those who made the decisions would hide behind HR, none of them offering co...

One of the many differences between Canada and the US is that our roads are less deadly. A new study by the US Insurance Institute of Highway Safety and the Canadian Traffic Injury Research Foundation found that between 2010 and 2020, total road deaths in the US rose 18%, while in Canada they declined 22%.

It’s not curious because of its design—nothing fancy, just an unassuming street where kids walk to class, neighbors cross with coffee, and cars glide by with variable awareness. It’s curious because of what it doesn’t have: a stop sign. Now, you might think: surely, if a stop sign is needed, someone just installs it. But the tale, like so many in our modern civic life, is stranger than fiction and more t...

IntroductionEvery revolution starts with a choice—create the future, or let others decide it for you. In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense to inspire American colonists to declare their independence from British rule. This is our version for the internet age. If you feel unseen on today’s social networks… If you believe your creativity deserves more than likes… If you think your attention should be valued—not harvested… You’re not alone. This is an invitation to help build what comes next...

Credit cards are hands down Americans’ preferred payment method. So how could stablecoins replace cards and go mainstream? Daniel Barabander explains.

The last time I shared Bullpen & Batory Consulting's Land Insights report for the Greater Toronto Area was back in Q3-2024. And at that time, the average high-density land trade across the GTA was being reported at roughly $98 per buildable square foot. However, I ended my post by saying this:So even though prices and transaction volumes are down (which is what one would totally expect right now), it still doesn't feel like this data accurately reflects what's going on in the market today.
