The Most Underrated Asset in Crypto Right Now

June 27, 2025 By Matthew Hayward Current LINK price: $13.03 Everyone’s Chasing Hype. I’m Watching Chainlink. In a world where crypto hype is louder than a nightclub at midnight, one project is quietly laying the pipes for the future of finance — and almost no one’s talking about it. While influencers flood your feed with meme coins, XRP cult jargon, and “top 5 altcoins to buy before Friday,” Chainlink (LINK) is doing something radical: It’s working. No BitBoy pump. No delusional army. No sugar-coated nonsense. Just cold, hard utility. The Most Underrated Project in Crypto? Let’s run the checklist: ✅ MasterCard partnership ✅ Powering SWIFT and DTCC pilots ✅ Securing billions in DeFi with oracles ✅ Launching CCIP to bridge traditional finance and Web3 ✅ Zero hype, maximal development While the rest of the market is a casino, Chainlink is the infrastructure behind the scenes. It’s not trying to be flashy. It’s trying to be indispensable. And it’s succeeding. Numbers Don’t Lie — But They W...

The National Guard Was Never Meant to Be a Federal Tool

By Matthew Hayward 7/13/2025 Let me say this clearly: the National Guard was created to defend the states, not to enforce the will of the federal government. It was meant to serve as a local militia—an armed extension of the people under the control of the state. The highest authority a Guard member was ever supposed to answer to is their elected governor, not a bureaucrat in Washington, not a federal agency, and certainly not a sitting president weaponizing military force on domestic soil. Yes, I know the laws have changed. I know the Montgomery Amendment, the National Defense Act, and the Supreme Court's decision in Perpich v. DoD rewrote the rules. But legal doesn’t mean constitutional. Gradualism doesn’t legitimize usurpation. You don’t get to trample foundational principles and call it progress. What’s happening now—federalizing state forces to deploy them in cities without gubernatorial consent—is blasphemous. It's an insult to the very spirit of the Constitution. The ...

BREAKING: Government shutdown imminent!

y Matthew Hayward 3/12025 And just like every single time this happens, the party in power cries about how irresponsible the opposition is for not caving to their spending demands, while the opposition plays their predictable role of pretending to care about fiscal responsibility. Fast forward one election cycle, and they’ll swap scripts—and the same bootlicking partisans will cheer it on like the good little NPCs they are. Your memory is shorter than a TikTok trend. Your "principles" last about as long as your party tells you they should. And every two years, you fall for the exact same scam, patting yourself on the back for being a "critical thinker" while regurgitating the same propaganda your team spoon-fed you. Democrats and Republicans don’t fear each other—they fear you waking up. If this game wasn’t so predictable, it might actually be funny. But it’s not. It’s pathetic. #WakeUp #GovernmentShutdownTheatre #BothPartiesAreTheSame #NPCPolitics

Breaking: New $500 Million Government Study Finds Government Employees Oppose Cutting Government Jobs

Breaking: New $500 Million Government Study Finds Government Employees Oppose Cutting Government Jobs By: Matthew Hayward WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a shocking revelation that absolutely no one saw coming, a newly released $500 million government-funded study has found that government employees are overwhelmingly against cutting government jobs, reducing waste, or making government more efficient. The 10-year study, commissioned by a bipartisan coalition known as the Committee to Study Studies About Studies , spent a decade analyzing the complex question of whether bureaucrats enjoy having taxpayer-funded jobs. The answer, after extensive focus groups, surveys, and catered team-building retreats? A resounding “No” to anything that might involve layoffs, accountability, or a world where they have to produce measurable results. “This data is crystal clear,” said Dr. Preston Bloatworthy, lead researcher on the study, while adjusting his government-issued ergonomic office chair. “Government emp...

Liberty's Whisper in the Shadows

These poems were inspired by Matthew Hayward's blog post The Quiet Surrender Of Liberty and brought to life with the help of modern AI tools. Erosion of Freedom In shadows deep, where freedoms wane, A silent thief extends its reign. Through quiet nods and soft consent, Our liberties, unguarded, went. The watchful eye begins to close, As apathy in silence grows. What once would spark a fervent stand, Now slips away like grains of sand. The scanners hum, the laws expand, Encroachments on our cherished land. Yet voices fade, resistance thins, As tyranny, unchallenged, wins. Awake, arise, let courage flame, Reject the quiet slide to shame. For freedom's light, though dimmed, can shine, When hearts and minds with truth align. Awaken the Flame In shadows deep, where freedoms wane, Complacency forges tyranny's chain. Silent surrenders, liberties lost, Apathy's toll, a grievous cost. Vigilance fades, oppression ascends, Rights erode as indifference extends. Yet within hearts, ...

The Quiet Surrender of Liberty

 By Matthew Hayward The slow poison of complacency is the death of the fighting spirit. History is filled with examples of once-free people who gradually surrendered their liberty, not in a single stroke but through a series of quiet concessions. Tyranny often doesn’t arrive with the sound of thunder; it creeps in like a thief in the night, taking advantage of human complacency. The most maddening aspect of this process is not the power-hungry forces behind it—it is the passive, apathetic acceptance by the very people it seeks to control. Complacency is the death knell of liberty. It dulls the senses, erodes vigilance, and normalizes oppression over time. What once sparked outrage and resistance becomes routine, accepted as the new normal. The body scanners at TSA checkpoints, the Patriot Act, the ever-expanding surveillance state—each started with public protests and fiery debates. Now, these violations of privacy and freedom are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Why do peop...
