The Miami Aftermath, Golden Nudity And Ethereum London 1512

My previous longer article was about the January Miami BTC conference and the promised follow up is Al Capone style criminally overdue. The event moved at breakneck speed and had such a driven, positive vibe. Dealing with the atomic aftermath took till now to become a cohesive-ish write up. In short, the journey was a f**k yes, as I tend to vulgarly state in social occasions seemingly inappropriate for the expression. I’ll keep this punchy.

Coming To My Senses

Having scored the perfect Airbnb place 5 minutes from the conference center (actual balcony view pic below), I was pumped to get going but jet-lagged beyond available bodily resources. Getting everything ready for a two fair trip, including an overnight ‘stay awake painting’ just before the flight, took its toll. The free flow whiskey pouring by my generous hosts was a welcome edge smoother but not too many before a 48hr crypto sprint. Right? The fleeting pleasure of alcohol was replaced by a sauna, jacuzzi, and a city view pool. I realised also that I was staying with people who run a high-end print place. This trip is going to roast like a Run The Jewels track.

Being new to blockchain conferences, the hunger for the next new thing felt all around was inspiring. No joke. The integration solutions to the ‘real world’ in service prospects or made human connections were a much-needed chilli infusion for the brain. Much respect for Keynote for sponsoring the booth and helping me get physically visible in the scene.

Out of talking so much, my voice blew out halfway conference. At one point I got badly distracted from talking to a Coin Telegraph guy due to another conversation starting with a couple who represent the graffiti artist Banksy. Apologetic as I was about it to him upon this dawning on me, it was a good problem to have. It felt like being able to charge my phone from the surrounding air alone.

Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe

The buzz around my booth gave me a sense that I’m really onto something with crypto art. It’s nothing short from being able to tell the story of a vast societal change in visual form. To uniquely communicate it to insiders and outsiders alike. One of the chance encounters was Eben Pagan popping by the space with his lovely wife Annie Lalla. It was a strange moment, as I must have spent thousands of hours with his material since 2004 and he hadn’t a clue the other way around. I rarely loose my cool but embarrassingly enough, this was one of those times. Appropriately so I think.

Far too many memories struggling with childhood trauma, depression, figuring out relationships and finding my way in life in general came flooding in talking to him. During those times, the abundance of value Eben delivered to my life through video seminars was a 100% unparalleled. There is no way my other platform Artevo, the LUX project nor my engagement would have happened without the influence his work had on me.

Some people in the crypto space, who think Lambos are the answer, could greatly benefit from his ‘ManTransformation’ program for example. There is a bunch of millionaires within the community still living their ‘Sweet 16’ at 30 and beyond – during global crisis times. Some really need to wake the hell up to smell the ‘more to life than a bit of money’ monologue. As he came to my booth space, I interrupted him eating a sandwich by asking: “Eben Pagan. What are you doing here?” He simply replied: “I’m eating”. Glad to know he is into crypto and I’ll make a better first impression next time.


Eben, Annie and their daughter in Miami.

The Emerging Collector Class

The nr.1 “T(r)opical – Gold Edition” piece, central to the booth picture, was sold to the striking model Gabriella Katia and her entrepreneur husband Matt Crown via Litecoin. By chance encounters, the three of us would all later on end up at a club for a night out. I’d spent a full month working my ass off to be ready for the trip and the official business of the conference was done. It was time to let loose before the coming AFL fair.


Matt & Gabriella

The other awesome person at the afterparty, clearly responsible for me drinking straight from the vodka bottle at the end of the night, was my new collector Michael Jonsson. After mentioning this personal responsibility disclaimer I can admit to literally waking up with my boots still on the following morning. A true flashback to some 20 years ago at a University party in Newcastle. We decided to meet up on Miami Beach for some breakfast to follow up.

His Bitcoin 1/1 piece “Unblocked” is now safely in Toronto being float framed.

A Worthy And Relevant Sidenote

The whole trip was quite an investment so could’t hodl all the benefits. Now if only Coinbase would sort out their customer service I could actually use the converted money trapped behind their non-service lines. Anyone else have this with them or just me?

Bit rude to hold someone else’s money for over a month, not reply to emails and then ask them to ‘rate their service’ – if you are really asking. The survey request was two weeks ago and I’m yet to hear back from them. Ok. Enough complaining. Still with me? Golden nudity ahead.

A 5m$ Home Full of Art Anyone?

Next up was the Tranter-Sinni Gallery organised participation with Art Fort Lauderdale. This fair was our first collaboration with the gallery. They had a few of my large Artevo pieces in their multi-million dollar homes loaded full of art, facilitated a keynote spot and a temperature rising performance at the W Hotel titled ‘Kintsukuroi’.


Watch the performance here

It was rejuvenating to be in front of people performing again so felt it best midway through to drown my suit in gold paint, with a little help from a fellow performer Dayanis Mondeja.

Much love also to the phenomenal dancers of the other performance Carlos Torres and Evelyn Robaina. They did a more classical dance performance version of the same theme. The passionate professionalism of all three performers blew me away. Thanks also for Alexis Espejo at W Fort Lauderdale for facilitating this madness. The plan is to repeat these at crypto conferences all over the world. It’s appropriate as the blockchain is helping to fix money.


Youtube here.

Mom, I’m on TV.

The below segment of the Deco Drive TV show features the Artevo works, the houses and quite prominently, the back of my head. Both Evan Snow and Andrew Martineau did an ‘all in’ job getting this whole fair organised so props to those guys for pulling it off. Bring on AFL 2019.

Watch it here

Crypto Giveth and Crypto Taketh Away

And will likely soon giveth again. Some of you might have seen the previous announcement for the crypto art tour with 4NEW as the primary sponsor. Unfortunately, the recent events in crypto forced them to focus on their live ICO for now, so the mentioned tour is now open for a new main sponsor. 

I’ll be attending the crypto investor show this coming Saturday here in London regarding this. The tour is ready to take off and everything is in place with regards to the gallery and most locations. All that is needed is a funder ready to make some international waves with guaranteed traditional and blockchain press. On April 18th at 5pm I’ll also be presenting at the Ethereum London slot of the London Blockchain conference. Big ups for Stephan Tual for giving me my first crypto keynote opportunity. More to come this year as this fresh speaker page suggests.

2018 is going to be a massive year for me personally and about as exciting as it gets for crypto. None of the people, organisations or businesses in this article have paid to be mentioned. In case you are wondering if what you just read was news, promotional, a blog or something else, all I can say is that I don’t represent legacy media.

This is  the circle of transparent good stuff.

Core Foundation Announces LstBTC, a Liquid Staking Token on the Core Blockchain 1278

The Core Foundation, a group dedicated to sponsoring ecosystem development on Core’s Bitcoin-powered blockchain, has announced LstBTC, an ERC-20 liquid staking token pegged 1:1 with Bitcoin (BTC). This innovation enables BTC holders to earn daily rewards in CORE tokens while maintaining the liquidity of their Bitcoin—a solution to the longstanding challenge of choosing between staking and liquidity in the DeFi space.

Addressing the Liquidity Challenge

For Bitcoin holders, the choice between staking their assets for rewards and keeping them liquid for DeFi participation has always been a difficult one. Traditional BTC staking often requires locking up assets, making them unavailable for other uses. LstBTC eliminates this trade-off by preserving Bitcoin’s value while offering the benefits of staking. Holders can now keep their BTC liquid and participate fully in the evolving BTCfi ecosystem.

How LstBTC Works

Each LstBTC token is fully pegged to one BTC, ensuring that its value remains stable. Unlike standard staking, LstBTC allows holders to retain full liquidity, meaning their Bitcoin can still be used for lending, transferring and swapping like any other ERC-20 token. This flexibility is a game-changer for those who want to maximize their returns without compromising their ability to engage in DeFi activities.

Enhanced Security with Multisig Setup

LstBTC is issued on the Core blockchain and features a Multisig setup on the Bitcoin network. While this requires a slight increase in trust, the Multisig setup is managed by reputable entities, a practice widely adopted in many established protocols. The Multisig wallets undergo rigorous security audits, ensuring that users’ assets are well-protected, while still allowing them to benefit from the liquidity and rewards offered by LstBTC.

Expanding the BTCfi Ecosystem

LstBTC will further expand Core’s already comprehensive BTCfi ecosystem, which includes lending, borrowing, restaking, DEXs, perpetual futures, and NFT platforms. By bridging the gap between staking and liquidity, LstBTC offers BTC holders greater flexibility in managing their assets.

“Bitcoin holders have long faced a difficult choice between staking their assets and keeping them liquid for participation in the DeFi ecosystem,” said Rich Rines, Initial Contributor at Core. “LstBTC changes that by allowing users to earn staking rewards in Core while keeping their Bitcoin liquid and active in the ecosystem.”

A Solution That Meets Market Needs

LstBTC is designed for BTC holders who want to maintain their asset liquidity while still earning staking rewards. The Multisig wallet setup, backed by reputable entities and rigorous audits, ensures that security is not compromised, making LstBTC a reliable choice for those looking to engage more fully in the BTCfi ecosystem.

See more on LstBTC in this explainer video: https://youtu.be/ipyT_ih_G-g?si=nUs8HlMBct_J1Dbq. For more information about the Core Foundation and Core blockchain, please visit https://coredao.org.

About Core

Core serves as the Proof of Stake layer for Bitcoin as the first enabler of Non-Custodial Bitcoin Staking, which secures a fully EVM-compatible BTCfi ecosystem. Since April 2024, over 5,000 BTC valued at more than $300 million have been staked with Core, enhancing Bitcoin’s utility and security.

Core is the most Bitcoin-aligned EVM blockchain with ~55% of Bitcoin mining hash power contributing to the network’s security. This breakthrough has amassed millions of Core adopters – over 20M unique addresses, 275M+ transactions, and over 295M TVL since its mainnet launch in January 2023.

Rocko, A New Marketplace for Crypto-Backed Loans, is Officially Live 1808

Rocko, a new marketplace for accessing the best crypto-backed loans, has officially launched! Crypto owners can now use Rocko to quickly secure loans using their crypto assets as collateral, avoiding the need to sell their holdings. Users can access competitive rates from leading DeFi protocols — starting with Compound — and set up a loan within minutes, regardless of their level of expertise.

DeFi lending protocols like Compound and Aave offer lower interest rates and more flexible terms for crypto-backed loans than many centralized lenders. However, they are often seen as difficult to use. Rocko’s platform solves this by simplifying the borrowing process with an intuitive, step-by-step interface. Users can customize their loan terms and select which lending protocol they prefer to borrow from. Once the loan is finalized, a smart wallet is automatically created, which then interacts with the chosen DeFi protocol to fulfill the loan based on the user’s instructions. Since the wallet is non-custodial, users retain full and exclusive control over their funds.

One of Rocko’s standout features is its seamless compatibility with major exchanges like Coinbase, Gemini, and Binance — no need for complex Ethereum wallets or seed phrases! Borrowers can receive their USDC loans directly into their exchange accounts, making it easier to convert it to USD for various purposes, such as real estate purchases, debt consolidation, or large purchases. Coinbase users can link their accounts to Rocko, streamlining the process even further.

Rocko offers a comprehensive dashboard where users can manage their loans, track key metrics, borrow additional funds, make payments, and adjust their collateral. Additionally, users can set up text or email alerts to monitor collateral value and interest rates. Upon repayment, the collateral is automatically returned, along with any rewards earned from protocols like Compound.

Rocko takes security seriously by implementing industry-best practices and leveraging trusted solutions. Rocko smart wallets are fully non-custodial, meaning only users have access to any funds their wallets hold. The private key is encrypted and stored in a secure enclave provided by Turnkey, accessible only by the wallet owner. Rocko’s smart wallets are built with Kernel, a highly audited and trusted modular smart account. Additionally, many DeFi protocols, including Compound, do not allow for the rehypothecation of assets. This means when you take out a loan using Rocko, your collateral is not lent to other borrowers. Instead, it is locked in a smart contract until you repay your loan.

Rocko was founded by a team of experienced fintech founders who have built and launched innovative consumer financial products in TradFi and Web3 such as the Gemini Credit Card, MarcusPay by Goldman Sachs, and Ondo Finance. The original idea for Rocko came from their own frustration on how hard DeFi was to use despite the great value it offered. Their vision is to build one marketplace connecting all of DeFi that allows borrowers to easily access the best rates and liquidity from any number of protocols and networks, using any crypto assets.

Rocko is set to roll out a series of exciting new features in the coming months, including support for additional DeFi protocols, networks, and crypto assets. The platform will also introduce tools that help automate loan management, so users can borrow at ease and set their loans on autopilot.

Solidton Unveils 2025-2026 Plan for Multi-Feature Ecosystem 2066

The Solidton team is seeing increasing hype over its project by having new ambitions for the future. The expectations of 2025 and 2026 come closer as Solidton gets ready for growth with clearly defined targets in place.

The multi-feature platform designed by these developers includes a marketplace and decentralized financial services, among others. This large ecosystem is the first of its kind, offering strong integration between the metaverse and decentralized finance (DeFi).

Aiming for Growth

Growth is definitely one of the main objectives of Solidton, and the team is fully committed to seeing it achieved. They expect to see three-digit growth in 2025 with a solid development plan through their innovative DEX exchange and wallet.

Solidton outmatches the existing DeFi platforms with unique features and a sustainable approach to ensure long-term success. Below is the team’s official roadmap, divided into four crucial stages:

  • Phase 1: Launching the website and white paper publishing; start of the token presale (ICO).
  • Phase 2: Listing the token on top-notch crypto exchanges and launching the Solidton Wallet.
  • Phase 3: Integration of DeFi services, social features and forums, and DEX exchange launch.
  • Phase 4: Governance, voting for token holders, hosting virtual events, and continuous growth.

The team is confident that they have the potential to deliver one of the greatest DeFi platforms on the TON blockchain. Speaking of opportunities, an estimate for 2026 mentioned an estimate of 9 million active users that could join this adventure.

Meanwhile, the project’s team decided to direct all fees and reserves to liquidity. This choice is necessary to provide stability and reliability in the ecosystem.

The Features of the Solidton Ecosystem

Solidton’s whitepaper lists several features that make this project effective, versatile, and user-friendly.

Solidton will offer a marketplace to buy, sell, or exchange virtual items. The platform allows diverse personalization for anyone joining the metaverse. Moreover, the project perfectly works with NFTs, meaning the ownership of every virtual item is verifiable through the blockchain.

Solidton also makes available other financial services such as staking, loaning, and borrowing on the DeFi side. In this last case, it will be possible to rely on the project’s native token (SON) as collateral. A typical Solidton user may also engage in liquidity mining or farming for additional rewards.

The platform is decentralized, with management and decision-making resting upon the SON token holders. Simply put, holders may vote over major changes impacting the project.

In addition, Solidton has a social dimension that involves chatting, forums, and integration with social networks. This allows for community creation, content promotion, and interaction with a larger audience.

Curious users will find a wide set of training materials in the form of video tutorials and webinars from Solidton. And if one needs help or has questions, a technical support service is working around the clock. A complete list of features is available on the project’s website and on Solidton’s whitepaper.

The Project’s Tokenomics

What is also very interesting about the project’s whitepaper is a quick-to-understand comparison of SON’s token with ETH and BTC:

As for its transaction velocity, while BTC has slow transactions with high fees, SON has fast transactions with low fees.
While ETH has scalability issues, SON has an open playground to merge the metaverse with DeFi. The overall result is a much more versatile Web3 ecosystem.

In terms of token allocation, 1 billion SON tokens will be in circulation:

  • The biggest slice, at 64%, goes to the presale stage
  • 16% will go to the ecosystem 
  • 7% goes to the team, with a lockup lasting until 2026. 
  • Partners and advisors will get 4% of the tokens
  • 9% of the tokens will cover liquidity and listing purposes.

About Solidton

Solidton is a new token integrating DeFi with virtual worlds to create a fresh ecosystem. In summary, the project offers secure and transparent financial tools that foster user confidence.

The 2025–2026 plans of the project focus on synchronizing robust growth with innovation and sustainability. The team is making every effort to grow and become one of the top DeFi platforms on the TON blockchain.
