The State of Crypto
Bitcoin, created in 2009 by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, is not just a digital currency—it is the foundation of a new global monetary system. With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is designed to be immune to inflation and manipulation by governments or banks. Its decentralized nature and ability to be transferred globally within minutes position it as a viable replacement for traditional fiat money and even gold. Should Bitcoin fully replace these assets, its market capitalization could soar to $150 trillion, making each Bitcoin worth over $7 million. This transformation, driven by blockchain technology and accelerated by AI-powered financial automation, promises to redefine how value is stored and transferred worldwide.

Kendrick Lamar’s Defeat of Drake
Kendrick’s groundbreaking diss track, Not Like Us, not only topped the charts but also shifted cultural paradigms, signaling the end of an era dominated by commercial success. Coupled with a historic five Grammy sweep and a Super Bowl halftime performance that broke new ground for solo rappers, his work fuses conceptual artistry with social commentary. In doing so, Kendrick Lamar is not just shaping the future of rap; he is redefining what it means to leave a lasting legacy in a genre built on constant evolution.
A Company becomes a Walking Corpse, after the Founder Dies
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” ― Steve Jobs
Teaching
Teaching is the ultimate stress test for knowledge. It drags understanding out of the shadows, strips away illusions, and forces clarity. The moment you try to explain something, you see its structure—or its cracks. You stumble over details you assumed you knew, struggle to simplify what once felt obvious, and realize that half of what you believed was muscle memory, not mastery.
