This first book in the Crypto Hipster series, entitled From “Stuck” to Unstoppable focuses on how blockchain technology can help us overcome adversity, depression, and suicidal thoughts. I demonstrate the overcoming adversity component by the personal story of Sir John Hargrave and his book Blockchain for Everyone, by Brett King’s intriguing work entitled The Rise of Technosocialism, and by Brett Scott’s Cloudmoney. The fourth chapter focuses on my interview with Jay H. Tepley, her book The Unbreakable Entrepreneur, and her lifetime focus on helping others recover from depression. ...

Big Tech, the Facebooks, Amazons, Googles, Apples of the world have made trillions of dollars in revenue over the years of the use of customers’ data. Web 2, and all its centralized tenants have stripped away individuals’ proprietary data ownership rights for convenience, efficiency, and automation. The world is now changing with blockchain technology and Web Three, or Internet 3.0. Data ownership has been slow, and steadily returning to the rightful owners: the individuals. This book explores how this is occurring, from data pools and unions to global tools that make it simpler for the...

Crypto Hipster's Mysticals are compilations of individual podcasts from Season 4 and Season 5 of the Crypto Hipster Podcast, covering interviews of founders, entrepreneurs, co-founders, executives, content creators, and much more from July 2022 to August 2023 (anchor.fm/crypto-hipster-podcast). Crypto Hipster podcasts differ from most other cryptocurrency podcasts. While the top venture capital studios, influencers, and promoters of their favorite coins focus on price and market action of Bitcoin, alternative coins, and NFTs, Crypto Hipster focuses on something else: The long-term societal ...

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 ...

Crypto Hipster's Mysticals compilations that cover Season 4 and Season 5 are far more than just a catchy-named compilation. While there is a deep focus on technology, they also include common themes faced by entrepreneurs and founders across all industry spectra. This theme is based on "human" issues, which include societal, mindset, social opportunities, and personal growth and development. Of course, they also focus on solving industry and technological problems that we all face in our everyday lives or will face soon. Some say that developers are the backbone of the blockchain industry. ...

When engaging in conversations with founders, entrepreneurs, and artists about the potential of NFTs and the metaverse, much of the focus is on what blockchain technology can do. While the technology and innovation aspects are appealing and crucial, what is of equal importance is the personal benefits of helping overcome anxiety, depression, and grief. In this book, we examine the potential of building equitable futures for all, gardening and creativity, smart rings using microbes, and using creative minds and empowering mindsets to overcome loss and build for the future. Technology and ...

I have titled the thirteenth compilation for Crypto Hipster's Chronicles, Episode 13, "Traveling Through Space and Time", and that episode I have now converted into this book. Traveling into space is not a new desire or dream. It has existed ever since man first crushed grapes. With new technologies, the evolution of SpaceX, and investments by Elon Musk and others, galactic missions are now more possible than ever. So is the use of electric vehicles to help improve humanity's carbon footprint. The four interviews in this book explore what is possible with solving Earth's issues by solving ...

I have titled the ninth compilation for Crypto Hipster’s Chronicles, Episode 9, “Knowledge is Power”, and that episode I have now converted into this book with the same title. The Knowledge Society is a 10-month global innovation program for ambitious high school students. Students aged between thirteen and seventeen years of age and apply and interview before joining and attending weekly sessions. The Knowledge Society (TKS) is the next generation of innovators, scientists and entrepreneurs who want to solve the world’s biggest problems. During January 2021, I conducted a four-...

Over the last two years, as the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission has engaged in the process of what appears to be regulatory capture, a shift has occurred. That shift, at least in terms of social sentiment, has seen greater interest by institutions than retail in the future benefits of decentralized finance. My February 13, 2023, blog post at CryptoHipster.tech, lays out the reasons retail investors should remain especially interested in DeFi. These reasons include: Increased security Accessibility Transparency Lower fees Better user experience Decentralized control Better investment ...

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...

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 ...

The DeFi Summer of 2020 seems like a long time ago, nearly three years from this book's publication. Some prices of tokens then, such as ChainLink, Synthetix, and Aave, catapulted dramatically. While prices have come down substantially over the last few years, the growing landscape of decentralized finance platforms, applications, yield mechanisms, and staking services has grown significantly. These ways are the most common channels of conducting DeFi, but there are quite a few others, including venture capital funding, alternative investment banks, unique funding structures, and many less ...

Coming out of COVID-19, the year 2021 started a renaissance movement with nonfungible tokens (NFTs), witnessed by remarkable growth and development of different NFT marketplaces: gaming, metaverses, collectibles, art, and music, to name just a few. This book covers the early part of that movement, around the April 2021 timeframe, just before the massive market explosion just a few months later. The interviews contained within this book, looking back, were the early harbingers of that growth market. NFTs have grown dramatically since their inception, and even since April 2021. This book ...

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. ...

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 ...
