New Year, New Me
As the clock strikes midnight and a fresh year unfolds, it’s natural to reflect on the past and contemplate what lies ahead. As I sit here in my crypto-filled lair, surrounded by screens displaying an endless stream of charts and graphs, I’m reminded that in this space, change is the only constant.
Grifts on the Rise
The first story from our “new year” series highlights a worrying trend: grifts are accelerating. The latest example is AI Accelerate DAO, or AICC, which launched its token over the weekend. The supposed mission of helping builders launch agents and accelerate us towards AGI seemed too good to be true – and it was. Insiders gobbled up most of the allocation, leaving loyal followers with a bitter taste in their mouths. Even prominent figures like David Hoffmann, host of the Bankless Podcast, couldn’t resist the allure of AICC’s token. When called out for his impulsive mistake, he did make amends by buying back some tokens – but the damage was already done.
The takeaways are clear: be cautious where you put your money in this new year. With more “opportunities” like AI Accelerate DAO emerging, it’s crucial to stay vigilant and not get swept away by FOMO (fear of missing out).
A Chain Like No Other
Hyperliquid has been a popular choice among crypto enthusiasts due to its unregulated nature. As we move into this fresh year, it’s essential to be aware that the assets traded on CoinJar UK Limited are largely unregulated in the UK. This means you won’t have access to the Financial Service Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service. It’s vital to seek financial advice before making any investment decisions.
Blockchain and Worms: A Curious Connection?
As we navigate the complexities of crypto, it’s fascinating to explore the unexpected connections between our digital world and the natural one. Speaking of which, did you know that worms have been around longer than dinosaurs? Five hearts, no less! That’s more than an AI agent can claim.
What’s Ahead in 2025?
Before we dive into the unknown, let’s take a moment to appreciate what CoinJar has achieved so far and look ahead at the exciting projects on the horizon. Our team will be exploring the top crypto events that shook us in 2024, as well as the biggest industry changes that will shape our future.
