I have titled the seventeenth compilation for Crypto Hipster's Chronicles, Episode 17, "Addressing Compliance and Global Regulatory Standards", and that episode I have now converted into this book. The crypto industry is still, after Bitcoin first arrived on the scene in 2009, fraught with uncontrolled risks. From Bitcoin's early days of Mt. Gox, to Bitconnect in 2017-18, to the centralized finance implosion and FTX in 2022, plenty of risks still abound. Plenty. We need to start discussions of what creating compliant global platforms and regulatory rules look like when players across the ...

While the U.S., China and other countries have fumbled the ball in the early days of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, one of the few countries that has demonstrated forward looking leadership has been Switzerland, most notably Zug, otherwise known as Crypto Valley.

They have done so in a way that other countries' regulators, such as the ...

Crypto Hipster's Mysticals compilations that cover Season 4 and Season 5 are far more than just a catchy-named compilation.

Of course, they also focus on solving industry and technological problems that we all face in our everyday lives or will face soon. Most of the Crypto Hipster Podcasts are focused on thought leadership ...

The hype and craze of the NFT Revolution that swept across the world of crypto and blockchain globally during 2021 and 2022 has subsided during the crypto downturn of 2023. Great debate now occurs about the future and direction of NFTs, with many believing the future is outside of the art movement. Whether that is metaverse finance, decentralized financial ticketing, institutional control, or some sort of hybrid mishmash that comes out of the Securities and Exchange Commission's lawsuits and authoritative overstepping to achieve regulatory capture, the benefits of NFTs will long outlast the...

In my landmark book, Re-Generation X: How Generation X Can Leverage Blockchain Technology to Save Themselves and Rebuild America, one discussion presented is the impact of the Paycheck Protection Program, a Small Business Administration loan that helped keep business workforces employed during the early days of COVID-19. One of the popular investment areas for program funds was precision medicine, which is most beneficial at the intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. From the AI side of things, we are now witnessing advancements in individualized healthcare ...

With the untimely collapse of FTX and other centralized crypto exchanges in 2022, some American politicians have taken it upon themselves to use the excuse of fraud and other unfortunate acts by a few terrible actors to hurt the industry even further and to gain political clout with their constituents. Some of these politicians' constituents are Wall Street incumbents who have been running scared of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for years. Evidence of their fear can be discovered through public comments. In fact, Bitcoin has been pronounced dead in the media over four hundred fifty times. ...

I was always a loyal corporate employee for the longest time. For nearly two decades, I built massive data intelligence engines, managed multi-billion-dollar technology projects, led major corporate initiatives, and managed multiple billion-dollar books of business. Most of these strengths relied on leveraging my analytical skills and abilities. It was not until I joined the Crypto Revolution in 2017 and became an author that my mind had to shift to being a creative thinker and content creator. I had to develop the right side, creative side, of my brain, while simultaneously keeping the ...

I have titled the fourteenth compilation for Crypto Hipster's Chronicles, Episode 14, "Research, Development, and Production in Crypto-Gaming and the Metaverse", and that episode I have now converted into this book. Most of us have definitely at least heard of the metaverse. Or, at least we have all heard the buzz, the hype, and wild delusions of grandeur. What is not as frequently discussed are the challenges of building out the technology and the real-world challenges that the metaverse technology will solve. This book explores some of those pressing challenges, such as solving ...

Contrary to the wishes of existing Big Tech incumbents, the future of NFTs and the metaverse are based on decentralization and on correcting the global mistakes we made during the evolution of the Web 2.0 internet. Musicians and artists are now able to take control of their creations and build intimate fan engagement. Concerts are being held in the Metaverse with greater attendance than physical venues.

In the preamble to my 2020 book Re-Generation X, I write the following about Brutality: In its most malevolent form, brutality involves the blatant disregard, neglect, and disrespect of others around us. In action, it is torture for the unappreciated, ridicule for the uninformed, poverty for the uneducated, and suffering for the misguided. Such malevolent brutality could occur anywhere, including but not limited to politics, government, and corporate unemployment. From my experience, it surely occurs on both Wall Street and Silicon Valley, especially with corporate bailouts and the ...

I have titled the nineteenth compilation for Crypto Hipster's Chronicles, Episode 19, "Early Crypto Trends and Predictions for 2022", and that episode I have now converted into this book. Most crypto “experts” and “pundits” talk about the price possibilities of various cryptocurrencies. Price is the easiest denominator to discuss, especially for non-techies. And everyone likes to predict what prices could be. At the beginning of 2022, all of those predictions would turn out to be wrong. This was for a variety of factors including centralized finance implosions caused by Celsius, FTX...

DAOs, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, offer quite a unique structure than traditional corporations. The organization, built on code, and governed by code, enables a democratic approach to governance, that differs from the Corporate Board and C-suite model prevalent across the Fortune stock companies you find on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and just about any other global listing platform. DAOs' major tenants include decentralization, truth, trust, and justice. This is in stark contrast to the corporate board of directors' proxy voting process. While the world suffered from ...
