Technology Ethereum Adoption identity Your crypto wallet is the key to your Web3 identity

Digital identity has been a fraught subject since the earliest days of the internet. Web2 bridged the gap between people’s offline lives, online identities, and creative and consumer habits, which has given way to a thoroughly integrated internet experience designed to be as personalized and targeted as possible. As a new phase of virtual interaction and digital identity appears on the horizon — one even more interconnected than Web2 — we need to rethink personalization and ownership with an eye to what did and didn’t work in the world of Web2.

Technology Ethereum Investments Bitcoin recovery NOT Not all investments lose value equally: A recovery period for digital assets

When investing in financial markets, people often underestimate the possibility that, over a period of time, the investment may lose its value, and it will take time to recover temporary losses. The deeper the loss becomes, the more energy required to recover the losses increases out of proportion. If I invest $100 and lose 10%, I end up with $90 (whether I keep the investment or liquidate it). So, to get back to $100, which returns do I have to make? I have to make 11% because, with a base of $90, if I make 10%, I end up with $99. This effect is amplified if I lose 20% — to get back from $80 to $100, I will have to make 25%.
