Is Bitcoin No Longer “Digital Gold”? What Analysts Get Wrong (And What Actually Matters)
By:

27 November 2025
Have you ever bought Bitcoin after hearing it called “digital gold”… only to watch it crash 60–70% and think: wait, this doesn’t feel like gold at all? If that’s you, you’re not crazy. Gold usually moves a few percent here and there. Bitcoin can nuke half its value in a few weeks, then 3x again the next year. It’s the financial equivalent of riding a rollercoaster while someone keeps shouting, “Relax, it’s just like gold!” So what’s going on? Is...

EigenLayer vs Symbiotic vs Karak: who leads?

24 November 2025
Have you ever opened Crypto Twitter, seen “new restaking meta” trending, and thought: “Cool, but am I about to earn yield… or become exit liquidity?” If that sounds familiar, you’re exactly who I’m writing this for. Every week there’s another “EigenLayer killer”, another shiny restaking narrative, another thread claiming “this is the future of Ethereum security”. Meanwhile, your ETH is already staked, maybe locked in an LST, maybe sitting in a liquid restaking token (LRT), and you’re trying to work...

What if you could log in faster, cut out most phishing risk, and still have a clear way back if something breaks? Sounds like magic, right? It’s not. It’s the reality of modern wallet safety, and it’s easier than you think. Here’s the deal: I secure my crypto with passkeys, MPC wallets, and recovery plans that actually work. No spreadsheet of seed phrases. No sweating every time a phone disappears. In this guide on Cryptolinks.com/news, I’m going to show you...

Chain abstraction: one wallet across every chain

10 November 2025
What if you could send, swap, and stake from a single wallet without ever switching networks, worrying about gas on the “other chain,” or juggling multiple seed phrases? That’s the promise of chain abstraction: one clean interface that just works, no matter where your assets live. No “wrong chain” pop-ups. No guessing which bridge is safe. No repeat approvals on every network. On my Cryptolinks News blog, I’m going to show you how we’re moving toward that reality, what actually...

AI x crypto: zkML and GPU networks explained
By:
Nate Urbas
3 November 2025
Ever wondered how AI actually plugs into crypto without the buzzwords? I’ve been tracking this space across hundreds of projects, and two big shifts are finally making sense together: zkML (AI you can verify) and decentralized GPU networks (compute you can rent on demand). Put simply: you can prove an AI result is correct without revealing everything, and you can run that AI on a marketplace of GPUs instead of paying top dollar to a single cloud. If you’re trying...

Bitcoin L2s now: Stacks, BitVM, or Runes?

2 November 2025
Confused about which “Bitcoin L2” deserves your time—Stacks, BitVM, or Runes? Fees are spiking, timelines are fuzzy, and every week a new “L2” thread blows up your feed. If you’re trying to build, trade, or just stay sane, the noise is brutal. I wrote this to cut through the takes and give you a clean way to pick what fits your goals today. By the time you’re done, you’ll know what really counts as a Bitcoin L2, where Stacks stands,...

Telegram mini apps on TON: fastest Web3 onramp
By:

21 October 2025
What if your first Web3 transaction lived inside your Telegram chat? No browser plugins, no seed phrase panic, no “which network?” headache — just a tap and you’re in. That’s the promise of Telegram Mini Apps running on TON. I’ve tested dozens of crypto onramps. Nothing gets a normie to their first on-chain action faster than this combo. “Tap to open” beats “install an extension, create a wallet, write down 12 words, switch networks, fund gas, try again.” Every extra...

Stablecoins 2.0: yield, settlement, better UX

15 October 2025
What if your dollars quietly earned a return, settled payments in seconds, and felt as easy as your favorite app? That’s the promise of “Stablecoins 2.0” — and it’s not hype. It’s already peeking through in the tools I test and track every day on Cryptolinks News. Stablecoins are shifting from basic “hold and send” balances to productive, programmable money that actually works for normal people and busy teams. “Digital dollars should earn, settle instantly, and be effortless to use....

Have you ever posted something you knew was good… only to watch the clicks vanish the moment people hit a landing page? What if your post could be the product experience—tappable, fast, and finished right in the feed? That’s the magic of Farcaster Frames. They turn a cast into a mini-app with buttons, state, and verified actions—no janky redirects, no slow pages. I’ve been testing them across onchain use cases (mints, claims, quizzes, simple lead capture), and when you get...

Understanding the Role of Oracles in DeFi
By:
Nate Urbas
30 September 2025
How does a DeFi app know the exact price of ETH right now? If smart contracts can’t natively see the outside world, what tells them when to liquidate, issue loans, or settle trades? That silent middle layer is the oracle—usually invisible, absolutely critical, and the difference between a smooth day and a painful liquidation. I’ve reviewed a lot of crypto tools across bull and bear cycles. Oracles are the quiet MVPs behind lending markets, stablecoins, perps, and almost every “it...
