I make content that explain the ins-and-outs of Decentralised Finance (DeFi) and how it can be applied to the creative arts. Stuff that help you understand the world of blockchains, distributed ledgers, crypto-currencies among related things. Helping you understand this new environment for engagement and distributing the value of creative works. That includes discussing high-level uses and applications to the creative industries, general explanations of the Blockchain and Defi space. I'll also do some deep dives into the technology and associated economic philosophy. My aim is to cut through

Selecting a Stake Pool on Cardano - A look a metrics and delegation

Get the basic understanding of Proof-of-Stake and the ideas driving the design of Cardano.  Looking at the reasons why Proof-of-Stake and Staking are important.
