Insights
Our founder has spent a decade writing and speaking about markets, capital and technology — in national business press and on the TEDx stage three times. None of it is proprietary. You can read and watch it before you ever talk to us.
Published and presented in
Nithin Eapen has written for India's national business press and spoken at TEDxHartford, TEDxUBridgeport and TEDxMACE, alongside more than 100 keynotes and panels.
TEDx
Decentralized finance, urban growth policy, and where charitable giving loses its value. Different subjects, one habit: take a system apart, find the intermediary, and ask what it is actually being paid for.
Nithin opens with a question about what happens when a market forces every transaction through an intermediary — then uses it to explain why decentralized finance is not a product category but a different set of assumptions about who has to be trusted.

Why people move to cities, what makes growth compound once it starts, and what smaller cities can realistically do about it — an argument about S-curves applied to public policy.

Charitable giving loses value at every intermediary between the donor and the recipient. The talk works through where that value goes and what a decentralized alternative would have to get right.

Before the technology, the question underneath it: what money actually is, what it has to do, and why the thing we currently use is a historical accident rather than a law of nature.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
The opening column. Not a case for buying anything — a case for understanding an asset class before you are asked to have an opinion on it.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
Money is not defined by who issues it but by what it does. Measured against those functions, the argument for why one form outperforms another.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
Every monetary transition looked impossible until it was obvious. What the shift from gold to paper tells us about whether the next one happens.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
The plain-language explanation, written for someone who has heard the word for a decade and never had it explained without jargon.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
A skeptical read of government reserve proposals: what a sovereign reserve would actually have to achieve, and whether the stated case holds.
The mechanics, explained without hand-waving. These are the pieces most coverage skips because they are harder to write than a price prediction.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
What a wallet actually holds — and why the mental model most people carry over from banking is the source of most costly mistakes.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
If nobody owns the ledger, where does it live? A walk through what is stored, by whom, and what that distribution buys you.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
The full path of a single transaction, from signature to settlement — the piece that makes the rest of the technology legible.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
A comparison of custody and settlement models that explains the difference in risk profile — and why it is structural rather than a matter of competence.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
What becomes possible when the ledger can hold logic as well as balances, and where that capability is genuinely useful versus merely novel.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
The different mechanisms behind assets that promise not to move, what each one is really backed by, and where the failure modes sit.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
Takes the energy criticism seriously rather than dismissing it — then asks what the comparison is actually measuring, and against what alternative.
The columns that reach furthest beyond crypto. These are about decision-making under uncertainty, and they apply to any market.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
Why markets where participants stand to lose money have consistently outforecast expert panels — and what that implies for how organisations make predictions.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
The case for and against time horizon as a strategy, and what the behaviour behind the internet slang is actually describing.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
The routes to exposure that do not involve taking a directional position — and the risks each one substitutes in place of price risk.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
What changes when the matching engine and the settlement layer stop being separate institutions, and who loses their position if it holds.
Financial Express
Creed Capital Crypto
A detour from markets into what a long-running Harvard study found about what people optimise for — and what it costs them.
