All right, lets dive into crypto’s crazy world. But let’s not sound like robots trying to pretend that they are Shakespeare. Web 3 news, right? Seatbelts are a must; this is going to be one bumpy ride.
A crypto exchange joined with an old school bank. Imagine your Grandpa joining forces with a TikTok superstar for the ultimate dancing competition. You could say it’s similar. This is a huge partnership because, in a way, it says, “Hey! Crypto isn’t only for tech nerds, speculative trader, and other snobs anymore.” Some people aren’t as excited about the news. Crypto selling to banks just seems wrong.
A new altcoin has emerged, which is a promising alternative to Bitcoin. The promise of this coin is that it will make money transfers across borders quicker than you could say “Where’s my keys?” Some people claim that they can make transactions in a matter of seconds at low prices. It’s a bit of a shocker, though: techies scratch their beards to see if they are looking at something truly new or old wine in a brand-new bottle.
Governments from around the world have also joined in. Some countries are welcoming crypto with open arms, while other are saying “You will not be allowed to pass!” A tiny European state has basically made itself a crypto heaven with these laws. Will they be the poster children for doing crypto correctly, or end up as cautionary tales? It’s only a matter of time.
It seems we are living in a science-fiction movie. Some smart people came up with an idea to safeguard blockchains in the face of quantum computing, which is set to disrupt current security. Although it sounds interesting, this opens a new can of issues that we may have to face in the future.
NFTs were everywhere, grabbing headlines from left to right. It went from being a revolutionary way for artists and designers to sell their products directly, to being criticised for using more electricity than an entire country. It’s also not uncommon to hear stories of crypto-millionaires who have found that they can spend their money more easily than explaining TikTok technology to their grandpa.
And don’t forget the charities who are embracing it and accepting donations via crypto. Crypto has been mainstreamed, and it raises some questions.
Now we’re at a weird intersection, where new and old are rubbing shoulders. Although exciting, it is also somewhat scary as nobody knows exactly where this will all go. Crypto is changing how people think about value and money.
Following crypto news is a lot of fun. It keeps you guessing, just like following plots twists in a TV soap or trying to determine why cats love laser pointers.
Finally (oops!) If I didn’t say I wouldn’t make conclusions, then buckle in for the Crypto-land ride – it will have more twists and curves than any roller coaster you can think of! It looks as if we’re about to embark on a thrilling ride, my friends. It looks as though we’re about to embark on a thrilling ride.
