As I now spent several years in the crypto space and acquired quite an understanding of the subject, I decided to pick up blogging about it.

A small thread to introduce myself🙇🏼‍♂️🧵

US dollar stablecoins are taking over Europe’s digital markets—and the euro’s future is at stake. Can the #Dollarization of #Europe still be reversed?

Read my article about Europe’s stablecoin sovereignty crisis below!

That we dumped yesterday is no fun, but at least something is happening. #BTC ranging around $95k for weeks got boring. At least this resets some of the market and we might see an uptrend soon. #crypto

Apparently everybody is quitting #solana as #memecoin rugpulls kill the trust in the ecosystem.
People are moving back to #Ethereum and mainly #Arbitrum.
In other words: Nature is healing.

🔥 NFT Paris 2025 was nice – but one cold truth remains:

We’re still failing at onboarding normies.

Spoiler alert:
✅ Insane art & tech
✅ Vibes = 11/10
❌ Onboarding people new to this

Full take on where #web3 needs to step up:

Your memes/art/articles will unavoidably become #AI data food!

@StoryProtocol‘s #tokenization of Intellectual Property may save you against AI plagiarism and own royalties on your data!

More Yield, More Problems🫨

Newsflash: You’re stacking risks like a card house just to earn slightly more yield.

My latest article on @hackernoon.com breaks down why restaking might be DeFi’s quietest timebomb atm 💣

Explore the hidden risks of restaking on Ethereum and in DeFi—slashing, centralization, and liquidity cascades. Are higher yields worth the ticking time bomb? #blockchainusecase
Is That 0.05% Extra Yield Really Worth the Risk of Staking Your Crypto?

I can‘t do this anymore. If politicans continue to launch #memecoins and rug their investors, #crypto will never gain credibility. I thought #Milei was a #BTC president and nothing else. How can presidents be more interested in short term gains than their reputation? #LIBRA

Unbelievable that I currently have to wait to get some assets back that I used to lend on $RUNE and some $DOT that i used on Paraswap. I did not consider myself a very risky #Defi user but I seem to be unlucky sometimes…

DeFi 2025: Why innovation feels like reruns

My latest article digs into:
➡️ Protocol déjà vue
➡️ Ever rotating funds

Sometimes you need to point out the problems to make things better.

DeFi went from revolutionary to repetitive: Chasing yields, dodging rug pulls, and watching protocols rebrand.

🚀 Last week I participated in the #Kiln #hackathon . Didn’t know what to expect going in, but damn, it was an experience.
Turns out, diving headfirst into #DeFi development is chaotic - especially if you’re not a coder.👨🏼‍💻

The sentiment in this space is currently so bad even though #crypto seems to reach more people than ever and $BTC #bitcoin trades above 90k !
Makes you wonder how far we have drifted away from real values and use cases in #DeFi to pure #memecoin gambeling if everybody feels rekt

I’d like to hear opinions about #restaking ! Comment your thoughts below, I am currently writing an article about it and the sentiment of #DeFi users would interest me ! I’m trying to make my mind up, but I might be to critical about it.

So you‘re telling me that there are discussions about a potential strategic #bitcoin reserve and we‘re not going higher? Says enough about the current sentiment in this space lmao

I’ve been in DeFi since 2020. And yeah, something’s broken.
Protocols copying protocols. Yields that mean nothing. Innovation? Nah.
Here’s my unfiltered take on how we lost our way and why DeFi feels stuck👇

So our magic internet money is so correlated to the stock markets that we get a historic $2B dump due to tariffs? Last time I checked #Bitcoin didn‘t know borders and circulated freely…

Am I surprised by #Lagarde ‘s stance towards #bitcoin in Central Bank reserves? No. Am I still disappointed? Yes.

How can you possibly ignore this subject if it such am big topic in the #USA? I don‘t say we have to copy what they do, but not even considering or adapting an opinion can be costly

Hey, I wrote a small medium article about the current state of #DeFi :

“DeFi Fatigue: Are we stuck in a loop? The current and devastating state of DeFi (2025)”
