Hey, I'm HattyHats! A content creator, blockchain enthusiast, and tech writer focused on making complex topics in crypto, AI, and privacy understandable for everyday people.
With over 1,400 YouTube subscribers and 180+ published articles across multiple platforms, I cover everything from Cardano governance and AI safety to self-custody best practices and Web3 gaming. My goal is simple: informed people make better decisions about technology, about their money, and about the world they're navigating.
I always encourage you to verify claims, read primary sources, and consult qualified professionals for anything consequential. The goal here is to give you a solid foundation to think from, not to tell you what to do.
