The cryptocurrency guide for the perplexed: Shiba Inu (SHIB)
For the conservative looking to get into crypto, Bitcoin and Ethereum are still where it’s at. They’re the coins that offer the lowest risk profile—they have enough attention, backing and third-party investment to ensure that of all the coins out there they’ll still be around in ten years. But if you’re looking to get rich,…

This week in crypto: The China Side-Eye Edition
The biggest spate of news actually happened last Friday and it’s China again. Now all cryptocurrency related transactions are effectively banned in China. The effects were immediate: Coinbase Global (COIN.Q) and Robinhood took a 3.5% dive, while MicroStrategy (MSTR.Q) lost 6.7%. Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA.Q) lost %8.1. It didn’t stop there, though. The commentary from…

BetterLife Pharma (BETR.C) products show promise, but how’s their timing?
Drug science is all about timing. You can either take a preexisting molecule, which has benefits for alternative indications rather than what it’s originally on shelves for, and you after proving that it has these benefits during the regulatory dance, you take it to a new market, rebrand it and resell it. Easy. Or you…

This Week in Crypto: Hand in the Cookie Jar Edition
Given that the United States is once again going to the cookie jar to raise the debt ceiling and foist this generation’s financial issues onto the next generation (or the next after that… or after that) you’d think this week in crypto would be all about people bailing out of their positions, and piling their…

Water Ways Technologies (WWT.V) aims to tackle world water shortage head on
For those of us living in water rich Canada, the notion of a shortage seems like one of those ‘over there’ problems. We can easily justify ignoring it as something that’s distinctively not our problem, or if we’re perhaps a bit more empathetic and less callous, ‘yet another global issue we can do nothing about.’…

This week in crypto: standard regulation edition
One of the biggest claims that hardline cryptocurrency aficionados offer is that cryptocurrency (and Bitcoin in particular) is regulation proof. It was a selling point for me back in 2014. You can’t regulate what you can’t find and decentralization comes specifically from that. The only way regulators could get at crypto is through the access…

This week in crypto: slouching towards a cautiously optimistic future edition
It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly why confidence in Bitcoin’s future has jumped, but the likely culprit is that the Chinese bitcoin miners recently exiled from their ancestral homelands have made their way to to North America (and Russia and Kazakhstan) and set up shop. The hashrate and mining difficulty both enjoyed a bump, and now…

Today’s Idea: Kwesst Micro Systems (KWE.V) isn’t guided by the beauty of their weapons
I knew I wouldn’t remember the name, make and model of the rifle in three months time, but I’ll never forget the way it rested, the butt snug and comfortable in my shoulder, like we were made for each other. We were somewhere south of Mission B.C.—having traded in our Honda Civic for our friend…
