It’s crypto winter, but price isn’t the biggest problem.
We’re still explaining crypto badly.
Not because people don’t care, but because the industry keeps talking like everyone already understands it.
As a journalist, I spent the last year figuring out how to explain blockchain in plain English.
Together with @EliBenSasson, we wrote a book breaking it all down without the jargon.
I’ll be sharing the best insights here.

People say crypto is boring.
So is gravity.
People say crypto is confusing. So is Wall Street.
None of that is the point.
Crypto and blockchain are part of tomorrow, just like AI. Understanding them now puts you ahead of almost everyone else.
Together with @EliBenSasson, we wrote a jargon free book explaining what crypto actually is and why it matters.
I’ll be sharing the sharpest insights here.

I think there’s going to be a moment where people realize they were so focused on AI that they completely missed another massive technological shift happening underneath the internet.
That shift is zero knowledge technology.
And what makes it powerful is that it solves a very human problem.
Right now, more and more parts of the internet are moving toward identity verification.
The assumption is that proving something simple, like your age, means handing over your ID and leaving a permanent digital trail behind you.
But ZK changes that equation.
You could prove you’re old enough without exposing your identity or being tracked across the internet.
That’s the part people are only beginning to understand.
Privacy doesn’t have to mean secrecy.
Sometimes it simply means not giving away more information than necessary.
And when that realization clicks at scale, ZK is going to become a much bigger story than most people expect.

Crypto has one creepy feature we don’t talk about enough.
Strangers can track your wallet activity more easily than your Instagram.
That’s a huge problem for adoption.
For individuals, it feels invasive. For companies, it’s a non starter.
That’s why StarkNet launching StarkBTC matters.
It introduces shielded Bitcoin balances and transfers, giving users more privacy without sacrificing legitimacy.
Not invisible. Not lawless. Just less exposed.
Because your financial life was never meant to be public content.

You wake up and your account is gone.
No warning.
No explanation.
Photos, messages, contacts, everything locked away from you.
That’s the internet we use every day.
We’ve normalized digital systems where we don’t actually control our own stuff.
But the technology to fix that already exists.
Together with @EliBenSasson, we wrote a book explaining how blockchain changes ownership online and why it matters far beyond crypto.
I’ll be breaking down the best insights here.

You buy something in a store, and suddenly the cashier can see your balance, your payment history, and where your money moves next.
Sounds insane, but in some ways, that’s how Bitcoin works today.
Bitcoin is powerful, but using it can feel like living inside an aquarium. Everyone sees everything.
That’s why StarkNet launching StarkBTC is interesting.
It introduces a more private way to use Bitcoin linked value using the power of StarkNet.
Not secrecy for secrecy’s sake.
Just a system where your wallet doesn’t have to function like a public billboard.
Because financial privacy should still exist online.
