After getting repeatedly kicked in the nuts by DeFi gone wrong, I’m planting my flag on this project for the next bull run. — Three years ago, I was driving home from Las Vegas and played with the idea of investing $50,000 in Cardano.

What’s that?” said the old me. I…

After 12 months and 25,000 miles of driving, here’s a 1-year update on my Hyundai Ioniq 5 — I didn’t buy a Tesla. Where I live, every other car is a white Tesla.
