About FMV
Independent crypto analysis with an editorial spine.
FunnyMoneyVerse is edited and published by Naeem Shabir. It exists because too much crypto coverage confuses access with insight, and treats the pitch as if it were the proof. FMV tests what projects actually claim, in public, under a named editor — and says plainly when something does not add up.
Who is behind it
Naeem Shabir has been in crypto since 2017, investing in, participating in, and reviewing hundreds of projects across the ecosystem. He has worked across web3 verticals including gaming, DePIN, L1/L2 infrastructure, and fintech in marketing leadership and growth roles. He runs Encanta Digital, a growth studio that works with technology teams on positioning, conversion, and go-to-market strategy. FunnyMoneyVerse is where that market experience shows up as independent editorial judgment, with no client obligations attached.
Editor
Crypto-native since 2017. Founder of Encanta Digital, a growth studio for technology teams. Edits FMV independently.
Editorial standard
- Always make the reader smarter.
- Separate fact, interpretation, and speculation clearly.
- Surface incentives and risk whenever they matter.
- Avoid fake neutrality when a strong conclusion is warranted.
Contributors and disclosures
FMV is editor-led and can publish guest contributors or guest editors when the expertise is clear, the disclosures are visible, and the editorial standard holds. Relevant conflicts, sponsorships, and corrections are disclosed instead of buried.
What FMV covers
The common thread: every piece should leave you better equipped to judge the next claim you see.
- Project reviews
- Mechanism breakdowns
- Evidence-led analysis
- Short signed Takes
What FMV is not
The publication only works if the reader can trust the boundary between editorial judgment and commercial work.
- Paid coverage or sponsored verdicts.
- Anonymous hype dressed up as research.
- Undisclosed shilling, access journalism, or narrative laundering.
- Content quotas that force weak pieces into the feed.
Editorial firewall
Commercial work happens through Encanta Digital and does not buy coverage, placement, or a softer read on FunnyMoneyVerse. If a relationship matters to a piece, it belongs in the disclosure record.
