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...

Of course, they also focus on solving industry and technological problems that we all face in our everyday lives or will face soon. Bitcoin is officially considered the first ever Layer One blockchain. ...

After all this time the crypto industry has existed, since the birth of Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, the ICO days of 2017 and 2018, DeFi Summer, FTX, the economy remains fraught with landmines, booby-traps, scams, wicks, digital dynamite, and many wild and baffling gains and losses. Blockchain technology has grown tremendously from just being about cryptocurrencies to what it is today. Six years ago, there were no structured sub-industries within the crypto space. Now, there are many. These include, but are not limited to: stablecoins, gambling tokens, liquid staking governance, ordinals, ...

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have not only been an area of tremendous growth over the last couple years but also have helped empower an amazing Renaissance for content creators. Now, instead of being at the mercy of agents, auction houses, or the choice tastes of middlemen, artists can directly reach their audiences through digital creations. NFTs, which is effectively a digital receipt that you bought and own something, or many things, on the blockchain, manifest in many different forms. An NFT can be digital artwork, or a ticket, or music, a collectible, photograph, book, or any other ...

According to an August 3, 2022 CNBC report, Ilya Lichtenstein told a U.S. court he was the individual behind an exploit of cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex in 2016 which resulted in the theft of roughly 119,754 Bitcoin. Prosecutors had previously charged Lichtenstein and his wife, Heather Morgan, with money laundering and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Shortly after the couple’s arrest in February 2022, I interviewed one guest in this book on my Crypto Hipster Podcast, Justin Choo of Cabital. We discussed the arrest and security measures that exchanges can put into place to help...

The interviews contained within this book span three Crypto Hipster Podcast seasons. From the beginning of Season One today, the role of the media covering the crypto industry has shifted. In its early days, crypto was largely associated with illegal activities like drug trafficking and money laundering. To an extent, some politicians and banking executives want you to continue to think that because of their own self-interest. The media highlighted these activities and painted a negative picture of the crypto space. Over the years, the media's understanding of the crypto industry has grown ...

During my over six years in the cryptocurrency, digital asset, and blockchain industry, I have accomplished a variety of things in the blockchain space, including authoring this book and hosting over 230 podcasts. My Crypto Hipster podcasts (anchor.fm/crypto-hipster-podcast) differ from post other cryptocurrency podcasts. While the top venture capital studios focused on price and market action of Bitcoin, alternative coins, NFTs and metaverses, I focused on something else: The long-term societal and personal benefits of blockchain technology use cases, globally. I then compiled three to ...

Throughout the last fourteen years, since the early days of Bitcoin, crypto has seen its fair share of critics. Some of them do not understand the value of cryptographic security, the importance of data collection or digital receipts, or the need for like-minded communities to bring value to one another. The crypto industry continues to see its fair share of major problems, including centralized exchange implosions like FTX, or other events such as rug pulls, theft, off-chain exploits, and scams. But these exist in all industries, especially in traditional finance. For those who wish to ...

My hope is that we can have meaningful discussions that will keep innovation and crypto moving forward in the right direction in the U.S. … a direction that will employ more people, restore the economy, and create opportunities for our future. My work on decentralized finance and analysis continued with the interviews presented in this book. The content shared demonstrates how DeFi is an inclusive discipline that should be welcome to both retail and institutional investors and suggests dual contribution and collaboration. This twenty-ninth book in the Crypto Hipster Chronicles series, ...

At the height of the 2021-2022 Non-Fungible Token (NFT) craze, digital art, collectibles, and memberships to exclusive communities were selling at multi-million-dollar premiums. The world was graced by digital art collections, including CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, Pudgy Penguins, World of Women, Doodles, and many other unique offerings. While digital art and memberships were notable and hyped to the moon, perhaps the greatest long-term technological innovation was not hyped at all. This useful breakthrough was the ability for creators and collectors to earn royalties, something that ...
