As we kick off 2026, I’m reflecting on six years of The Blockchain Socialist and the major developments of 2025. This year we professionalized production, expanded into video content, and deepened our commitment to providing left analysis of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
In this video, I discuss:
- The platform’s growth and evolution
- My work helping people send aid to Gaza using crypto
- The crypto industry’s relationship with Trump and growing disillusionment
- Corporate open source blockchain absorption
- Stablecoins and US dollar hegemony
- The contradiction between crypto’s sovereignty rhetoric and the industry’s support for a government destroying people’s sovereignty and civil liberties
- Building alternatives through Bread Cooperative
If you’re looking for left-wing political analysis of crypto that goes beyond chasing trends, you’re in the right place.

We need more than critique. We need to build.
