Day 30: The Future of Money, How Crypto Is Redefining Trust
When I first learned about Bitcoin, I thought the big story was technology. But after thirty days of exploring crypto, I’ve realised the real story is trust. Every currency, from shells to pesos to Bitcoin, is built on it. What’s changing today is who we trust and how that trust is kept. My Journey So…

Day 29: Why People Compare Bitcoin and Gold
When I first heard people call Bitcoin “digital gold,” I rolled my eyes a little. Gold is something you wear or lock in a safe. Bitcoin? You can’t even touch it. But as I dug deeper, I realised the comparison isn’t just poetic, it’s pretty smart. Both represent something rare, valuable, and trusted, but they…

Day 28: From Bitcoin to DeFi, How Crypto Keeps Evolving
When I first learned about Bitcoin, I thought that was it, the crypto. The one and only. It felt like discovering fire. But as I spent more time in the space, I realised that Bitcoin was just the spark that started a much bigger flame. Today, crypto isn’t just about digital money. It’s an entire…

Day 27: What is rug pull?
One of the scariest parts of crypto is this: you can be excited about a project one night, and by morning, it’s gone. Your money? Wala na. This kind of thing happens more often than we’d like to admit, and it has a name, rug pull. I remember the first time I saw people talking…

Day 25: Can Blockchain Really Stop Corruption?
Back in 2021, I joined a local TED-talk where you had to pitch an idea for the future. Out of dozens of participants, I made it to the top three finalists. My pitch? “What if we could attend classes in the metaverse, and every academic record, every credential, every skill certificate could be viewed publicly…

Day 24: What is DAO?
At first, that sounded impossible to me. How can anything run without someone in charge? A company has a CEO, a school has a principal, a PTA has a president. But in crypto, I discovered something new: DAOs, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. A mouthful, I know. But once I understood it, I realised it’s actually very…

Day 23: Beyond Art: Real-Life Uses of NFTs You Didn’t Expect
When most people hear “NFT,” they think of digital art or profile pictures. That was my first impression too. But after getting into NFTs through games, I realised they stretch far beyond collectibles. They’re about ownership, access, and utility, and that opens up possibilities you probably wouldn’t expect. My NFT Journey Back in 2021, I…

Day 22: NFTs Explained: Why Digital Ownership Matters
NFTs can sound intimidating at first, but let’s strip it down: NFT stands for Non-Fungible Token. “Non-fungible” simply means it’s unique, you can’t just swap it one-to-one like money. For example, a ₱100 bill can be swapped with another ₱100 bill and nothing changes. But your family photo? That’s one of a kind, you can’t…
