Editor-in-Chief at CryptoSlate · Builder of local-first AI systems

Akiba

I lead editorial at CryptoSlate, covering Bitcoin, digital assets, market structure, regulation, and the AI systems changing how people research, verify, and make decisions.

Outside the newsroom, I build private tools for memory, automation, research, and operating inside messy real-world workflows.

Local-first systems map Private sources connect to a local memory core, pass through human approval, and produce controlled outputs. Sources Evidence State LOCAL MEMORY approval Publish Wallets Open
active layer Local memory becomes the operating layer: context, provenance, and current task state.

Editorial first

Crypto reporting, analysis, and newsroom judgment.

My work sits at the intersection of crypto markets, policy, decentralized infrastructure, and emerging AI. This site is a personal index of that work, anchored by my role as Editor-in-Chief at CryptoSlate.

Evidence-first journalism

AI can accelerate research, but judgment still belongs to the editor.

  1. 01 Signal discovery
  2. 02 Source capture
  3. 03 Provenance check
  4. 04 Contradiction review
  5. 05 Editorial judgment
  6. 06 Publication

Source signal appears across markets, policy, filings, on-chain data, and public claims.

AI strategy at CryptoSlate

Using AI to strengthen editorial process, not replace editorial judgment.

Editorial judgment

Exploring how AI can help surface context, compare source material, and support deeper preparation without replacing human calls.

Verification culture

Focusing on provenance, citations, source quality, and the limits of agentic actions in financial media.

Local-first tools

Building private systems for memory, research, and operational context where sensitive data stays close to the user.

Local-first systems

AI as an operating layer, not a gimmick.

I’m interested in AI systems that work across real surfaces: inboxes, calendars, repositories, research, notes, editorial pipelines, and private data. Useful AI should preserve context, cite its sources, surface the next action, and keep humans in control of important decisions.

Private sources

Local intelligence Local runtime board

Controlled outputs

Notes, drafts, inbox context, calendar commitments, repositories, research, and documents remain close to the user.
