Resistance To WEB3 **What’s The Deal?** When you begin to compare WEB3 to WEB2 it becomes blatantly obvious how superior and increasingly beneficial WEB3 actually is. Not only are processes quicker and easier, but there are additional benefits such as personal ownership and privacy. Some time ago **I published an article addressing how internet creator, Tim Berners-Lee, was heavily opposed to the idea of WEB3**.…

Revisiting Solana **Association Can Be A Killer** While everything was going well with FTX, or at least appearing to, **Solana** was basking in the “glory” of being endorsed by one of the most influential personalities in Crypto. This was unfortunately short-lived, and **the collapse of FTX** had a significant impact on Solana, and most notably, the price. After being one of the top performers in 2021, SOL was now at the bottom end of the scale.…

The Evolution Of Digital Ownership - Tokenization, NFTs & WEB3 **Unparalleled Acceleration** The 2000s have seen technology advance at an alarming rate. However, in recent years, acceleration has taken on a whole new dimension with the introduction of **blockchain** and **AI**. Although many are still unable to comprehend it, we are standing at the precipice of a monumental shift that will forever change how we store and prove ownership. Blockchain has introduced the world…

Passive Income - Isn't It Time? **A Bit Of A Buzz** Recently, I’ve noticed an increase in chatter regarding passive income, especially on Hive. Many are talking about ideas such as increasing their exposure to **HBD**, or even increasing their HP stake. Provided, HP does not really create passive income. However, in many ways, it is almost passive in nature. As @jongolson **mentioned in a recent post**, every 60 HBD staked yields a dollar in passive income every single…

The No.1 Goal On Hive **A Motivational Hub** The first thing you will notice after spending a fair amount of time on Hive is the passion and motivation that drives much of the community. Those **creating content** and interacting with others are generally quite goal-orientated individuals, which shouldn’t really surprise you. Hive is a place people come to initiate and realize goals, a place where **commitment and dedication** are required in order to thrive.…

The "Professional" DeFi Investor **A New Chapter** **DeFi** is pretty much the last sector you want to be exposed to during a bear market. This is predominantly due to many exiting the space, as well as selling pressure from those who remain. Personally, I advocate a strategy of compounding rewards during a **bear market**, as opposed to selling rewards in order to realize gains. That is if you choose to remain exposed to the space during a bear market.…

Decentralized Social Media - Is There Really Any Other Option? **Submissive Slavery** Yesterday, I came across a **post** by @the-bitcoin-dood, in which he detailed how he had chosen to close the chapter on legacy-styled social media. Now, this is something that I did back in 2015. I shut down my Facebook account while remaining active on Twitter until 2017… when they decided to shut me down without any clarification or reasoning.…

Bitcoin Maxis - True Dedication Or Fanaticism? **Not Quite The Same** The manifestations of dedication and fanaticism are almost identical in appearance. However, in nature, they are worlds apart. It has often been suggested that **maximalists** are somewhat fanatical in nature, and have an unrealistic viewpoint when it comes to the world of Cryptocurrency. This is what I am going to be examining in this post. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bitcoin-maximalism.asp…

Crypto - Expectations, Disappointments & Appropriation **Don’t Get Too Stuck In Your Ways** We want to envision the future possibilities and benefits of our endeavors today. This is the typical response of any individual that has ambition and drive. Crypto is unlike any **asset class**, in that it completely outperformed my “early” expectations. As I have continued in this space, I have come to realize just how enormous the potential truly is. My early **goals** and targets…

CBDCs - No Cause For Alarm **It’s Always The Case** In a similar way that the **de-dollarization** narrative is being pushed beyond “true dynamics”, the CBDC narrative is, once again, being overplayed. The heavy assertion of the de-dollarization narrative, unfortunately, is rather concerning. Why? Because this is a typical tactic that is leveraged via the MSM. Quick question… why do you question everything that comes from the **MSM** in regard to Crypto, and yet accept…

Working Toward A Crypto Goal - An Imperative Decision **A Unique Understanding** Individuals who set goals for themselves understand the human condition. Unless you are aiming at something, you very seldom shoot. It’s better to set a goal, and even miss than to never set one at all. Why? Because goals encourage, and even force, effort and productivity. Without goals, people become lazy and complacent. **Goals place a demand on your time and effort**, and ensure some type of…

Migration To Crypto & WEB3-Based Alternatives **Maximizing Early Opportunities** Many Crypto enthusiasts have taken the leap and moved in favor of **WEB3**-based social media alternatives. This has been motivated by four primary reasons, and four very important reasons if we are to be objective and honest about the matter. These reasons are as follows: https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-web-3-0 Censorship resistant **Decentralization**…

Is There A Case For HIVE To Appreciate In Value? **First Things First** Many people tend to view Hive as simply a blogging platform, in that it is solely seen as a fork of Steemit. However, Hive is much more than Steemit… and much more than a blogging platform. It needs to be understood that Hive is in many ways an **economic** construct and that HIVE (the currency) is central as the means and ability to transact and interact on the **Hive blockchain**. More on this later.…

Crypto Assets - Cash-Generative Or Alpha? **Building A Crypto Portfolio** Many new Crypto investors tend to find themselves in a very similar situation to other new investors, in that their **portfolios** are rather predictable. For instance, ask someone who has just entered the Crypto space what coins they hold, and you are likely to receive a fairly common response. This often includes **Bitcoin**, Ethereum, **DOGE**, SHIB, and perhaps BNB, or Polygon. What then tends to…

Strict Disciplines, Approximation & The End Result **Don’t Be Deceived** **Developing disciplines and habits** that ultimately increase your productivity and efficiency is not an overnight development. Many become discouraged, and even disillusioned in the quest to become more productive. At the end of the day, in an **economic** expression, productivity creates “increase”, and “increase” leads to profitability. Everyone desires a level of success, but very few are willing…

The Tokenization Of RWA - A Natural Progression **The Next Chapter** I have often spoken about the **tokenization** of real-world assets going forward, and how I envision this idea to eventually become a central and integral part of the **new economy that is busy being built**. Some may think that it is perhaps somewhat of a “stretch”. On the contrary, it’s actually more of a natural progression than anything else. https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-tokenization…

Leofinance - Self-Promotion On Threads, Where Do You Draw The Line? **Life On Hive** The introduction of **Threads** was a highly anticipated event and for good reason. If **Leofinance** hadn’t of jumped on this idea, another community would have had to! This is an integral aspect of life on Hive. With so many unique and varied communities, we all need a “home base” where we can share ideas, and experience interaction between various communities. In a similar way that…
