In his inaugural MozCon talk, Garrett Sussman explored the untapped influence of searcher bias in SEO. Following up on his Moz Blog post on the psychology behind search, Garrett dove deeper into the psyche of searchers. From leading queries like “Is coffee good for you”? to the self-guided nuances of conversational search, he examined how biases shape our interactions with search engines. Garrett mentioned that the searches we make and the results we choose based on our audience form the basis of our whole purpose with SEO. But what does Google care about? Relevance, authority and experience — as confirmed…

SummaryWhen a crypto user takes sole possession of their wallet’s private keys instead of trusting them to an exchange, they are self-custodying their assets. Security conscious crypto users typically prefer self-custody because they can maintain total control over their funds, requiring no third-party involvement. Leveraging a self-custody wallet requires a bit of technical know-how and trust in yourself, as you’ll be your own banker as well as head of security. The process of self-custodying your crypto assets involves finding a reliable self-custody wallet provider then transfering your funds from a centralized exchange to this new wallet. The most important aspect…

Some days most forex pairs are just going in one particular direction and it makes no sense to go against the herd. However, if you’re a fan of picking tops or bottoms and if you think that these strong trends are already exhausted, you shouldn’t be afraid to take a contrarian approach to your forex trades. When all charts point to a single direction and the current market sentiment is supported by the newswires, it’s easy to understand why many traders hesitate to go against the herd. But as investment expert Warren Buffett famously said, “We should also be fearful…

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhance the overall security of the crypto ecosystem, we’re informing the crypto community that we have patched an isolated bug in our deposit and funding systems. No client assets were impacted or vulnerable leading up to this disclosure. Kraken has fixed the bug.  The bug was initially discovered by a third-party security research company who had exploited the flaw for financial gain before reporting it to Kraken’s Bug Bounty program. This flaw allowed certain users, for a short period of time, to artificially increase the value of their Kraken account balance without fully…

Zcash wasn’t bootstrapped like most other crypto projects. There was no ICO to fill the coffers for years to come. There was no series of large VC raises. It was born out of humble beginnings. A portion of the “Founder’s Reward” funded the first four years of Zcash development, and the Zcash Foundation (ZF) was bootstrapped with individual donations. The current development fund, conceived and activated in 2020, established Zcash Community Grants and provided continued funding for ECC and ZF. We are grateful for that funding and have attempted to steward it well. Some love the development fund model, and…

The Ace Twitter thread began with a profile expressing disbelief that the brand should still be operating if it couldn’t price-match larger competitors. The above anecdote shows that same mindset being transformed by an outstanding second impression created in-store when chance brought the customer into the shop. And now, having experienced the difference first-hand, this shopper changed their mind and their habits to shop at Ace first. What a victory! Access, proximity, expertise, excellent customer service, variety, quality, ethical affinities like a shared value for the multiple benefits of economic localism, and a little something extra to make the UVP…

According to CoinShares data, digital asset funds saw $600 million in net outflows for the week ending June 14.

BlackRock’s Samara Cohen reportedly says registered investment advisors have been slow to adopt spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Cohen, who serves as BlackRock’s CIO of ETF and index investments, says that self-directed investors likely make up 80% of the Bitcoin ETF investments, reports CNBC. She also notes that hedge funds and brokerages have been accumulating Bitcoin ETF shares. But Cohen says one investor cohort has yet to take the plunge in the investment vehicle. “I would call them wary… That’s their job… An investment advisor is a fiduciary to their clients. This is an asset class that has had…
