As a computer scientist who loves Cryptography but is sceptical about the Cryptocurrency space this article almost perfectly represents my feelings and gives a beginner friendly overview into the technical details of WHY the Crypto space isn’t as decentralised as some may claim

My first impressions of web3
Despite considering myself a cryptographer, I have not found myself particularly drawn to “crypto.” I don’t think I’ve ever actually said the words “get off my lawn,” but I’m much more likely to...
Pleased to have had a small part to play in this project (all before I had even finished my Masters Thesis). Very interesting to see the differences between how ideologies communicate online. This experience will be very useful for me going forward in my PhD.

New research tracking people’s behavior on the platform found that most don’t go down those ever-deepening rabbit holes.
