I’m trying to consciously focus my attention on positive thoughts. The app „Morning“ provides a simple template to set the tone in the morning but also reflect on great things that happened during the day.
I’m a bit of a book nerd 🤓📚 - I often have several books going at once and pick up whichever one fits my mood.
One of my current reads is Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, which dives deeper into Stoic philosophy and timeless wisdom.
It’s also featured in this interesting YouTube book summary, along with many other great picks 👇

What are you reading right now?
This video has been posted a year ago but I think it gets increasingly more important. I am all in favor of competition between countries and “voting with your feet”. But what if governments prevent you from leaving?
😅😂
Great post that we should look at Bitcoin value in terms of purchasing power rather than focusing on the fiat price.
BitChat is a peer-to-peer messenger that works entirely offline using Bluetooth and mesh networking. No servers, SIM cards, or internet required. Whether you’re preparing for emergencies, attending protests, or just want a censorship-resistant way to connect, BitChat keeps you talking when everything else goes dark.
Ben from nostr:npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8 did a great tutorial on how to use it:

Lately, I’ve been contemplating whether we might actually live in a simulation. Interestingly, many religious and philosophical texts from around the world seem to hint at that idea.
That train of thought led me to rewatch The Truman Show after many years; and a few quotes really stood out:
“Why do you think Truman has never come close to discovering the true nature of his world until now?”
“We accept the reality of the world with which we’re presented. It’s as simple as that.”
“If he were absolutely determined to discover the truth, there’s no way we could prevent him.”
“Ultimately, Truman prefers his cell, as you call it.”
“You’re afraid. That’s why you can’t leave.”
Let’s question what’s real, and what’s merely presented to us as reality.
Millionaire migration is a thing.
Countries should think twice about „taxing the rich“.
Good for them, I‘m all about voting with your feet.
Finally started reading 1984.
Horrendous thought of living like that. Hope we can preserve freedom.
There’s a lot of uncertainty in the market right now. Have we already hit the top and are heading into a bear phase or will the bull run resume after the recent sell-off from long-term HODLers?
Interestingly, none of the 30 major market indicators have signaled a cycle top yet. Will they still flash in time, or are the traditional models breaking down?
According to Marc Friedrich & Partner, the old indicators may no longer work.
That’s why they’ve developed a new approach: bitcointop.de.
Instead of trying to predict the exact cycle top, their model focuses on identifying the market’s current condition — whether it’s overheated, overbought, or neutral. It provides an objective snapshot that helps investors better assess risk and make informed decisions.
Key values:
Bitcoin < 20: This is a great buying opportunity.
Bitcoin > 80: Caution! Market is overheating.
Bitcoin > 90: Mania, don't buy now!
Voting with your feet is becoming increasingly difficult…
Was, wenn alles, was du für „wirklich“ hältst, nur Teil der Matrix ist 🌀 – auch #Bitcoin?
Diese Folge ist anders als sonst.
„Tu es nicht. Nicht massentauglich“, wurde mir gesagt.
Aber was raus muss, muss raus!
Die neue #HeartMoney Episode ist inspiriert von zwei Bitcoinern, die mich unbewusst dazu gebracht haben, über MAYA, die kosmische Täuschung, zu sprechen:
Marc vom #BitcoinHotel und Kris von nostr:npub18nyr6q7m7gl2eh4j6l4tla9gk0wz7r269yj0mw5zekvzy4p3k4ksj387h4 – danke euch 🙏✨
Und falls es nicht gefällt, kann ich ja nächstes Mal wieder über Bitcoin-Kredite reden 😄

Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Video 🙏✨.
Habe gerade das Kapitel nochmals gelesen und möchte folgendes hervorheben:
„Die Schöpfung besteht sowohl aus Licht als auch aus Schatten, denn sonst kämen keine Bilder zustande. Gut und Böse gewinnen innerhalb der Maya ständig abwechselnd die Oberhand. Oder würden sich die Menschen jemals nach einer anderen Welt sehnen, wenn die hiesige Welt nichts als Freuden böte? Erst wenn sie leiden, erinnern sie sich ihrer ewigen Heimat, die sie verlassen haben.“
Does Bitcoin have its IPO moment? 👀
„From speculation to institution. From cypherpunk experiment to global asset. From concentrated to distributed. From volatile to stable. From revolutionary to foundational.“

I joined a very interesting talk on Tether‘s new AI, QVAC, during the Plan B Conference in Lugano. Gives me hope to stay somewhat self sovereign also in a dystopian future 😉.
The QVAC platform introduces a new way to think about artificial intelligence - one that puts control, privacy and autonomy back into the hands of users.
Unlike traditional AI systems that rely on centralized cloud servers, QVAC lets AI agents run directly on your device: your phone, laptop, or local hardware.
This means:
🔒 More privacy & security
Your data stays on your device instead of being sent to big data centers.
⚡ Offline & resilient AI
You can use AI even with limited connectivity.
🤝 Peer-to-peer communication Devices talk directly to each other, reducing dependence on any single company or authority.
💰 Built-in payment capabilities QVAC integrates payment systems like USDT and Bitcoin, allowing autonomous agents to transact securely.
They also offer specific health and translation apps. Check out more info at https://qvac.tether.io/.
