What’up Vigilantes! “Tragedy, he perceived, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.” This quote from George Orwell’s 1984, in which isolation is a very important theme: From the beginning…

Beware of Promise Coin

By Rafael LaVerde | January 26, 2021

Vigilantes beware! Caveat emptor is Latin for “Let the buyer beware”.

By Rafael LaVerde | January 17, 2021

Hey Vigilantes… Remember George Orwell’s Animal Farm where “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others?” The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal, free, and happy.

Tailor Your Privacy Needs in Crypto

By Rafael LaVerde | January 10, 2021

If you have nothing to hide, why do you care about cryptocurrency privacy? Which to me is the same as saying, ‘If you stay in your family bubble and meet your curfew, why worry about your neighbors reporting you to the cops?’, or, ‘If you pay your tax, the government will take care of you’.…

Happy New Year, Happy Birthday BTC, and Happy BTC ATH!

By Rafael LaVerde | January 4, 2021

Yeah, I know, I know…What goes up must come down. But that’s not to say we shouldn’t celebrate the highs, right? And we certainly should celebrate Bitcoin’s 12th birthday as it becomes that really popular teenager everyone wants to be friends with.

How Entrepreneurship is Unique On BSV

By Rafael LaVerde | December 29, 2020

One of my personal mottos is to look where it is forbidden. When the crypto masses aggregate around a cause without providing satisfactory argumentation, I venture out with my own research in search for my own conclusions. And I debate them with Mr. X and The Crypto Vigilante team.  As such, way (way) back in…

You haven’t bought Bitcoin yet and now it’s over $23,000 and it keeps on growing and you’re never going to be able to afford the “new global currency” and if only you’d listened to your geeky cousin Jeff in 2013 because he just bought a yacht and sailed off into the sunset with Miss America.…
