Which one is best? Side-by-side comparison. — Compared to the DeFi gold rush of ‘21 and early ‘22, the latter half of last year was an oasis of calm. The high-return miners all crashed and burned, as expected and even some of the more sensible protocols failed to deliver on their early promise. Drip, Elephant and the…

I put the AI bot through a Sense of Humour Test. — My Dad didn’t give me much advice, but he did leave me with this nugget of wisdom: “Never trust a man who doesn’t have a sense of humour.” I have to say, it has proved useful on many occasions. Over the past few weeks, it seems like the whole world…

A quick lesson — I’ve written before about the ARKFI DeFi protocol. It’s a current favourite of mine for several reasons. I’m not going to go over those again today, but if you want to catch up, you’ll find my articles here: The Real Truth About ARKFI, ARKFI Investors Beware and ARKFI Dashboard Deep…

All the metrics explained — If you haven’t checked out ARKFI yet, you should. Along with Furio, it’s one of the most interesting protocols in DeFi right now.

And the devs themselves; fully doxxed, fully visible, and fully accountable. When they mess up, they fix it. When they say they will do something, they do it. Yes, there was…

Do I cut and run or keep on compounding? — As a long-time Drip investor, I’m feeling the pinch right now, along with thousands of others. I joined Drip just over a year ago. I wasn’t one of the launch-day pioneers, but I was still relatively early to the party. I got in when the price was $16.50 …

Pleasure Cruise or Shipwreck? — You may have heard the buzz going around about a brand new DeFi project called Ark Fi, or Ark for short. There have been a few articles here on Medium, already. But I noticed that there are a few things about Ark Fi which the others haven’t mentioned. So, in…

And none of them are the 2.5% per day — There’s a lot of buzz around Furio at the moment. It has attracted a lot of Drip aficionados — not as a competitor but as an addition to their portfolios.
