The scientific community is grappling with a significant challenge: the reproducibility crisis. These are studies that cannot hold up under scrutiny — research, even published in top tier journals, that other researchers can’t reproduce. This undermines the reproducibility of findings and stalls progress in science. Now, decentralized prediction markets are...
The scientific method, the foundation of our modern world, is in a crisis of confidence. Biased, flawed and irreproducible research studies are drastically losing their ability to be reproduced, leading to troubling implications about the credibility of published research. We're talking about huge chunks of research that can't be repeated....
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) is venturing into the largely uncharted territory of blockchain technology. They are now rolling out enhanced guidelines to bring it in line with today’s privacy expectations, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These draft guidelines are currently out for public comment until June...
The Ivory Tower is crumbling. We've all known it, haven't we? Years of questionable studies, retracted papers, and a peer-review system that seems more like a club handshake than rigorous scrutiny. The federal bureaucracy, once the stalwart implementers of Solomonic wisdom, are seen as a self-enriching dark web of corrupt...
Europe is at it again. This time, it’s not just about regulating cookie banners or punishing tech titans. It's a full-blown assault on the very foundation of crypto: freedom. These new European Data Protection Board (EDPB) guidelines, masquerading as data protection, are nothing short of a digital land grab, attempting...
The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has issued new guidelines addressing security and data protection within blockchain technology, raising concerns and sparking debate among industry leaders. The guidelines encourage making technical and organizational measures the default, essentially building them in at the earliest possible design stages of data processing. These...
The heady ascent of crypto heralded in a revolution, a world free from the constraints of old finance. Yet revolutions, like double-edged swords, have the potential to cut both ways. We applaud this innovation and this potential for greater financial inclusion. Though perhaps we are focusing too much on the...
The United Nations has issued a stark warning: criminal syndicates are increasingly exploiting cryptocurrency and blockchain technology for illicit activities. This is not a distant menace, but a more immediate danger that is beginning to take a toll on consumers and shippers. It’s important to know how these criminals think...
The EDPB’s opinion was released last week, and it is a privacy bombshell for the blockchain universe. Their draft guidelines, intended to fit blockchain technology into the GDPR framework, are sending waves of concern throughout the industry. So the question is not whether this will affect Asia, but how it...
Japan, a nation synonymous with technological innovation and unwavering dedication to progress, faces a subtle yet potent threat. It’s not a natural disaster like an earthquake or tsunami, or even a self-imposed disaster like a trade war. It's the insidious creep of crypto crime, and if we don't act decisively,...
