The Investor's Guide to Privacy Coins: Should You Invest?
Privacy coins are like the curtains you draw to keep your home life private from prying eyes. This can be helpful for citizens living under authoritative or repressive regimes -- but they can also be used by criminals trying to cover their tracks.
So, privacy coins are great for user anonymity, but they are hated by regulators. Should you invest in these controversial coins? Our view: probably not. Here's why.
Top Real-World Asset Protocols: The Guide for Crypto Investors
Real-World Asset (RWA) protocols are revolutionizing the financial landscape. Imagine tokenizing real-world assets – real estate, bonds, commodities, intellectual property, fine art, and anything else – and putting these tokens on the blockchain.

The systems that run these RWAs are called real-world asset protocols: the “picks and shovels” that everyone else will use to hunt for gold. In this guide, we’ll outline the top investment opportunities for you.

In the year 2025, India suffers a record-shattering heat wave.
Temperatures soar past 132°F (50°C) in some regions. Over 20 million people die in the heat. As the power grids collapse under the strain, thousands of people desperately soak themselves in lakes and streams, where they are cooked alive.
For the first time, the world unanimously agrees that climate change is real.
This catastrophic event marks the beginning of Kim Stanley Robinson’s novel “The Ministry for the Future,” which I believe is one of the most important books of our time.
And it involves crypto.

To survive over the long term, a company must be profitable. Crypto companies are no different.
While some projects might run at huge losses for multiple years -- consider Amazon in the past or OpenAI currently -- the eventual goal is to make profits for the company and its investors.
Since blockchain is so new, many companies are still in the early development phase, where profits are elusive. But that's not true for all companies.
In the Layer-2 space, we can see that the top projects deliver some profits, although those profits tend to be volatile, just like the associated tokens.
However, at least one Layer-2 has been able to maintain consistent profitability.
Despite its decline since launch,?Base?is the clear winner regarding profitability in the Layer-2 market sector. While this doesn't directly benefit users since there's no Base token, it could benefit Coinbase stockholders ($COIN).
