what's the latest with Telegram founder & owner Pavel Durov? is he still arrested in France? Haven't seen any updates for past couple of days

Damn. Yesterday was a tough day. Heard back from 2 roles I had applied & was on final stretch that I wasn't selected but was a "strong no.2" in both.

One of the roles would have meant moving back to Dubai, which had got me super excited. Guess it wasn't meant to be in the end.

Times like these, I try to keep in mind the saying: "When you can't control what's happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what's happening".

I will continue to put myself in best possible physical & mental shape I can be & actively look for other opportunities. If I was a strong no.2 in these cases, I can be the no.1 in the next one.

thanks for the advice! love both of the collections and the idea of acquiring a matching pair is really interesting. This is a good time to be buying Ordinals art, as the hype has come down vs. what it was in Q1

I am officially a wholecoiner! Crazy to think how few people can actually reach that level globally. I decided to make a small gamble and stake my $BTC in Bitstamp for 2% annual yield. "Not your keys, not your crypto", I know, but willing to tolerate the risk for the time being.

I've done that for both of my daughters. Rental cars in EU are still cheaper, if you take manual instead of automatic. Helps them to save money and they can also drive my classic cars when I retire, ha ha!

I have 8 miners, but don't want to play lottery & mine on my own. I'm in F2 Pool, which gets me steady yield on daily basis.

I hope Ordinals & Runes transactions will go much higher from today's levels. That will increase the transaction fees to overcome reduced block subsidies after the halving.

thank you to nostr:npub1xr8tvnnnr9aqt9vv30vj4vreeq2mk38mlwe7khvhvmzjqlcghh6sr85uum for zapping me! 🙏

I'm patiently for Bitcoin to break out of this $57k-62k range. It will probably happen in September, once FED starts lowering interest rates and we're back to money printing.

At that time, look for $MSTR to have stellar performance and main runes ($DOG, $runecoin) to go on hyperdrive

I've read the book but haven't watched the show. Great book!

big thanks! 🙏

Nixon de-pegged USD from gold.

I really enjoy and appreciate digital art and this piece from Entangled Realms collection by @otograf_jp is great example. You can only get it if you own one of the 500 pairs of Bitcoin Sneakers (which I do).

The piece is inscribed on an early 2009 sat and is living on-chain forever.

I consider Runecoin to be one of the best opportunities to make serious financial gains over the next 2-5 years (besides Bitcoin, obviously). Here is a great article on possible future use cases for runecoin.

I have massive respect towards Scribe for sharing his ideas about Runes & Runecoin / RSICs. #NFA

thank you for zapping me! 🙏

I've been 11 years on my #Bitcoin and crypto journey. Finally start to believe that I can reach FIRE within 3-5 years. My building blocks are:

1. Mt.Gox payout received month ago

2. 8 Bitmain miners cloud mining more $BTC via Compass Mining

3. Collecting NFTs & Ordinals with provenance (also rare sats)

4. Healthy bag of key cryptos and most prominent runes (runecoin & DOG)

5. fiat reserves to catch new opportunities

My goal is to accumulate 6 Bitcoins by 2028. That should generate sufficient yield to afford a comfortable life.

what a legend!
