Prominent entrepreneur, Bitcoin supporter, widely known for this popular book on financial self-education “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, Robert Kiyosaki, has addressed the global cryptocurrency community to talk about the long-running debate between those who bet on gold and those who prefer to invest only in Bitcoin. “Gold or Bitcoin?” Kiyosaki clarifies his stance Kiyosaki tweeted that he does not understand why many investors have been arguing as to which is better – gold or Bitcoin. “I don’t get it. Why all the debate about what is better?” he wrote. There is no point about these debates, he suggests, hinting that…

Crypto’s chattering class has been beefing over transactions per second (TPS) lately, a metric that’s often used in the abstract to demonstrate a blockchain’s throughput. Solana boasts a higher TPS than its main rival, Ethereum. The most recent social media go-round was ignited by the news that Firedancer, a high-performance client being developed by Jump Crypto and meant to push Solana’s TPS lead even further, had entered its testnet phase. Jump chief scientist Kevin Bowers said in a Solana…

Off the Grid is the talk of the gaming world right now—but can it stay on top? Last week, the battle royale game (launched in early access) quickly became the top free title on the Epic Games Store, with 148,000 viewers watching the countless streamers playing it on Twitch. Developed by Gunzilla Games, players are dropped into a reality show-style online shooter experience, kitted out with robotic limbs that give them powerful abilities. What many players don’t know, however, is that Off the Grid is actually an Avalanche-based crypto game. In its current early access state, the crypto elements have…

Imagine a highway: The more lanes you have, the more cars can travel simultaneously without creating a traffic jam. For a blockchain network, a high-throughput sequencer acts to widen that highway — allowing far more data and complex operations to flow through smoothly. This is especially important for applications such as onchain games, demanding DeFi protocols and social apps, where large volumes of transactions and interactions need to be processed without delay. Sequencer throughput determines how much computational work a blockchain can process in a given time, directly impacting the scalability and efficiency of dapps. Higher throughput allows the network…

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has emerged as one of the most significant drivers of cryptocurrency ownership in recent years. As more users explore decentralized platforms for lending, borrowing, and earning interest on their crypto assets, DeFi is reshaping how people interact with financial systems. The appeal of decentralized, peer-to-peer transactions without traditional intermediaries like banks has attracted millions to the crypto space, fueling a surge in crypto ownership worldwide. According to The Block, the total value locked (TVL) in DeFi protocols surpassed $200 billion in 2021, marking a notable shift in how individuals manage their assets. DeFi and the Democratization of…

While Blockchain has been around for more than 14 years, to date its application on a mass scale has still been limited, this is why DRIFE with its first decentralized ride-hailing platform has gone live in Dubai UAE, to bring blockchain enabled applications to the masses. Built on Sui Blockchain, DRIFE has gone live in Dubai with its pilot launch. The blockchain-enabled ride-hailing applications received its license earlier this year, two years after it began operations in India. Cryptopolitan interviewed Firdosh Sheikh, founder and CEO of DRIFE, to learn more about how DRIFE is growing in the MENA region and…

As Bitcoin (BTC) approaches the $60,000 level, Ki Young Ju, CEO of cryptocurrency analytics firm CryptoQuant, shared his views on the cost-based levels at which various types of investors are purchasing Bitcoin.
