Thanks for sharing!

The wonderful message "log in to prove you're not a bot" is the new mandatory requirement!

En la comparativa de wallets que coment谩is, 驴mezcl谩is custodial y self-custodial sin hacer diferenciaci贸n? Es eso justo para la comparativa? o quiz谩s daba juego para la presentaci贸n del producto del invitado del podcast? Slds Luna y familia.

It's at a point now where it's almost impossible for me to use the "regular" internet. I can't access half the sites. The reason? I care about my digital hygiene and thus use a VPN. Sometimes switching to a different VPN or switching the country of the VPN works; other times it does not. Oh well, I guess I'm not going to watch that video, or read that article, or look at that picture. Whatever.

In addition to that, if I'm not blocked completely, I have to prove that I'm human every step of the way. Captchas, re-captchas, Cloudflare checkboxes, the whole shebang. I am human. I promise. And I am very annoyed. Outright angry, even. I doubt that any robot will ever be as annoyed as I am right now about the current state of the internet.

What annoys me most, actually, is that all these measures don't really work. There's bots everywhere. Robots get access to the stuff anyway, using farms of humans, just like in the good old days of WoW gold farming. The centralized "safety" nets of Cloudflare et al brought down large swaths of the internet multiple times in the last couple of weeks alone, and as things centralize more and more these outages will happen more and more.

I'm very close to breaking up with the legacy internet. I'm human, I can cryptographically prove that I'm human, and I have sats to spend. But the legacy internet doesn't care about that. It cares about farming me and my data, while annoying me to no end. I've been nostr only for a while now, but that was only on the "social media" side. 2026 might be the year where I go nostr-only for everything, or to phrase it slightly differently: permissionless for everything.

No more "are you human?"

No more "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

No more cookie banners, paywalls, and AI slop.

No more being treated like a child.

Even if it means that I'll have to self-host everything.

Even if it means that I'll have to build & maintain stuff myself.

Even if it means that it's a lot of work and pain.

Nothing worth having ever comes easy.

But the easy stuff is not worth having in the first place.

Here's to the year to come, and the new corner of the internet, build on cryptography and webs-of-trust. Real value. Real connections. Real humans.

Here's to nostr.

I completely share that point of view.

I'm sharing a video of the legendary Fabio Valentini demonstrating his hyperscalping style during a live trading session on our friend Riz's channel. I'm posting it here so it doesn't get lost.

For those of you who know me, my style is inspired in some way by this hyperscalping style, position management, risk management, etc., and for those who are learning, it can always be an inspiration.

Well, I guess I've been destined to be a creator of supply/demand.

I understand that some traders divide their entries into 2, 3, or 4 to set up their positions, and I find this reasonable because it predefines the entry and stop loss zones.

However, in my trading style, it's unthinkable to add more position with the intention of averaging down on a losing position WITHOUT HAVING PLANNED IT BEFOREHAND. At the beginning, we've all blown up accounts with a single trade that didn't go as planned.

Mental note as a trader:

- Content creators, YouTubers, and analysts confuse you as a trader. They're interested in creating content and entertaining you, while we traders are interested in making money from the market. We're not aligned.

- In my particular approach to trading, preserving capital is more important than making a profit. You shouldn't be afraid of winning, but you need to find an edge that allows you to control the risk of loss on each trade.

- Find your personal edge in trading. No two traders are alike. Consider your trading style, timeframe, entry system, position management, risk management, position size, objectives, journaling, etc., and avoid external distractions.

My first year of profitability came when I stopped being dazzled by other traders' results, stopped feeling bad when I lost trades, stopped being impatient, stopped letting myself be influenced by other creators, stopped letting myself be influenced by the media and YouTubers, and stopped believing that trading is all about adrenaline and that you always have to win. Believing that will keep you losing.

Forge your own path. Compete against yourself. There's no rush. No one is watching. No one is judging you.
