TradFi is on track to absorb DeFi. Visa’s Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP) lets financial institutions issue & manage fiat-backed tokens on blockchain, with Visa handling EVM infrastructure. DeFi may just become a better protocol, while 99% of users keep relying on intermediaries. For full decentralization believers: maybe it’s already over.

Whether we like it or not, we need clear Blockchain regulations. 🚨 Italy’s made progress—anti-money laundering measures, stricter transparency rules, and now penalties up to €5.4M for market manipulation. But the real question is: Will regulation keep Blockchain as free as we imagined? 🤔

It took hitting 60+ employees to realize we needed an HR. It’s not just policies or team-building events. It’s about creating a better experience for everyone as you scale. Invest in your people early 🚀

It’s easy to get swept up in the quick-win mentality. Ads, promotions, fast sales—they seem like the ticket to growth, right? But what happens once the buzz dies down? And I get it, as a business owner you’d like to see that immediate boost in sales. But, speaking from experience, you should alway let your value show: that’s what builds an effective reputation in the long run.

What I wish I knew when I started my business 15 years ago 👇 In my early days, I believed that taking every opportunity was essential. But I soon realized that specialization is where the true value lies. If you try to cater to everyone, you lose sight of your strengths and dilute your competitive edge. Focus on a specific market need to build a reputation and demand more for your expertise.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a founder: 👉🏻 The key to growth is ensuring the right people are on the journey with you. Don’t be afraid to focus on fit, vision, and energy. It makes all the difference 🚀

Quality > quantity every time. That's why I decided to break away from the "Body Rental" model that dominates 90% of large consulting firms in Italy. At Dev4Side, we build vertical expertise in-house & focus on delivering real value. Even if it means we stopped chasing every project.

As I recently told you, when we first started building intranet.ai we sought out investors and startup accelerators to help us. They often present themselves as the ultimate saviors for startups – nurturing the project, promising funds, and networking with investors. But, at least here in Italy, they act much like venture capitalists, trying to get on the gravy train with the pledge of investing in your idea in exchange for a cut of your earnings.

This is what Web3 conferences should strive for 👇🏻 Meaningful connections and genuine innovation, rather than empty hype.

There are countless "experts" and agencies (you see them here too), but where are the real users and new adopters? It sometimes feels like people are just jumping on the Web3 bandwagon without truly understanding it.

We’ve all heard it 👇 “Just hire a marketing agency, they’ll handle it.” But honestly? Marketing is way too crucial to your success to just hand it off to outsiders.

The work you do, the relationships you build, and the reputation you earn by putting yourself out there and giving your 100%, go far beyond words. It's not about attending endless networking events, mingling at conventions, or constantly being on everyone’s feed. There’s no cheat code.

If you're starting something new — a project, a company — here’s the piece of advice I wish I knew sooner. You’ll agree with me that, without a recognized name or brand, you're just a small fish in an ocean fighting with others for survival. So, how do you stand out? 👉 Focus on your reputation.

Recently, I dove into blockchain with my own project: ucollect.me. And despite encountering a market not quite ready for this innovation, we gained new expertise and skills. We may not use them immediately, but we’re prepared for the future. One thing is certain: 👉 Always keep your work interesting and your curiosity high, even when faced with new technologies.

For those who’ve been with us from the beginning, you might remember one of our first projects: 👀 A social media platform designed for vegans. It failed fast but taught us invaluable lessons: we learned how to build a product from the ground up. And without that step, we might not be where we are today, running two successful companies with thriving branches.

When we built intranet.ai a few years ago, we had some great ideas and an already developed product, but we weren’t quite ready to go live on the market. So, we started looking for investors and fundraisers. That's when we discovered that many people in this industry, at least here in Italy, are just improvising. And that’s why we decided to do it on our own. What’s your experience with VC funding?

When you ask a VC to fundraise your project, at least here in Italy, the first thing they’ll do is ask for guarantees. But how do you ensure that you can make it when — even if you have all the skills and good ideas — you don’t know how the project will turn out? Truth is, they act more like a bank.

Despite huge inflows into spot #Bitcoin ETFs, prices couldn't hold above $70K. Hedge funds playing the arbitrage game with ETFs and CME futures might be a factor.
