Happiness is hidden in the small details The second day of the year, and, as I start work on the 4th of January, I am doing a bit of DIY in the house. I started with cleaning the silicon sealing in the shower, the irony is I used some anti-mold fancy silicone instead of the normal one, and guess what, I got some dots of mold under it. So, I am taking it all out, using some solution to kill the mold, and then sealing it again. The joys of being home alone. I may also get all…

Inconsistence, impermanence, and the veiled threat of the apocalypse Apokalypse was the first mutant, the most powerful of all. If you watch X-Men, you may have thought about it. A metaphor for the end, and how we think about it even when we experience a new beginning. This is my only friend, the End, as Jim Morrison said. Or is it more about the endgame? No, not the Marvel one. Our endgame, and how we plan it. As few people explain it to us, spelling it by letter, there is…
The strategy of not having any strategy If you adapt quicker, you may win more often. This may be true, at least in games like Splinterlands. But in real life, sticking to your decisions may also help. I was always stubborn. Kind of. Some years ago, I decided that I will send the money for bills and food to what I call my spending account, and I will deal with that, using what I sent there. If I need more money, I need to make more money. Every month. Whatever else I leave…
Cooking, booking and looking up Two days of work done, one day off today, another two days to do, and then one week of holiday. Still, it was a good week, for the first week of the year. Got some long emails from Celsius, I think it is just about Zoom access to the judge's action and conclusion. Not sure. If you think about your inner child and how you are starting to forget the joy of play, this is the blog post that you need to read.…
2023 Crypto targets - Plan A, Plan B, Plan C and even Plan D - what do I want? As I was checking my numbers, it seems that I need to put everything on paper, or at least write it here, on this post, so I can come back and check at the beginning of next year. I have some priorities, and most of the year I will invest and re-invest in Hive Blockchain, as this is my main priority for 2023, with the aim of reaching Orca level in a couple of years. I am starting with: 6K Hive…
A week to make up your mind, an year to succeed! (weekly crypto updates) The first week of the year is gone, and it is looking surprisingly good, despite the bear market still being here, at least for another half a year. What did happen lately? Mostly bad things, with DCG getting bankrupt officially, FTX still on the news with their RobinHood shares being seized, and SBF declaring himself not guilty, just inexperienced. What else? Bitcoin: A Bitcoin Core developer, Luke…
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall! A good week, and a good start, as one of the major targets was achieved (Buy 100 Chaos Legion packs before the Winterfest event ends), and this resulted in 100 +10 extra free packs, 106 regular promo cards, and 4 Gold promo cards, so, my first success for 2023, planning to sell all these packs 2-3 months after the CL packs are finished, and exchange everything in Hive Power. Another minor target…
It’s necessary to try the impossible, to see the limitations of the possibility Today was more of a "taking care of stuff around the house" day. Had a good night's sleep, had a specialist check and clean my double oven, and sealed it with silicone on the outside of the shower, so with this, the bathroom should be 100% good at the moment. Assembled my newly gifted gaming chair, and went to the city dump to get rid of the old one and all the cardboard boxes. Stopped at a…
Save the cheerleader, save the world! (or use Hive blockchain instead) Ben Nevis in the summer - my own photo I was reading something interesting about activities that we are doing on a daily basis, and how there are activities draining our energy and activities that are recharging us. And how we should balance them, doing energy-draining activities half of the time, and the other half energy-recharging activities. Doing a sort of check on my own ones, it seems that most of…
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly (weekly crypto updates) What a week, and just like that, I say it again, what a week! Technical analysis suggested that both BTC and ETH reached their bottom, and now the only way is up. Are we going into a bull market? I guess the next few weeks will give us the answer. El Salvador continues its Bitcoin Saga. Staked Ethereum will be most probable available to withdraw in March. DCG and Gemini are still fighting.…
Cheese, biscuits, and blockchain games Leo Power Up day - and I managed to power up 357 Leo, which is not that bad. So right now I got 25723, with 4277 Leo remaining to delegate, in order to reach the projected 30K. Will I do it? Will I not? I suppose we will find out on the last day of the year. Now I am a bit torn out, I do not know if I should start to save some Hive for another 100 packs of Genesis League, or start to upgrade my remaining Chaos Legion cards before they…
Luck, fate, and predestination ( or how to land in a safe haven and check for Wi-Fi) Today I would like to talk about luck, and how some people get serious results overnight. First, I do not believe in luck, as it is, a dumb force, that strikes you when you never expect it, changing your life. There is no such thing, and while beneficial circumstances and opportunities exist, different people will react in different ways. What most people call luck, is in fact a result of…
Elbow, hands, and wrist injuries — detection and recovery Listening stuff about elbow and elbow injuries right now. This stuff is quite complicated, between the ulna, the radius, and all other joints, bones, bursa, cartilages, ligaments, and tendons. Those injuries used to be career-ending before reconstructive surgery, and by them, I mean golf elbow (on the outside of the elbow) and tennis elbow (on the inside of the elbow). They happen mostly when people come back to train…
Working for you, working for myself, crypto and the sense of freedom On some rare occasions, I am an interesting person. Sometimes, I zoom in on some obscure facts, and I let my conversation partner in awe, providing solutions and whatnot. But this doesn't happen quite often. Quite often I am tired, grumpy, or thinking of nothing else related to what we talk about. I developed a warped sense of approaching others when it is about helping others. Do not misunderstand me, I…
Transferring wealth from crypto to a bank account and other alternative investment strategies As the crypto prices start to recover, some of us may want to take back a part of the profits and invest them, creating another source of passive income. But is this even possible in the current market? It is bearish all around us, not only in the crypto market. Why, would you ask? It is funny how, just 4 years ago, we were like fully recovered from the 2008 crisis, and the stuff…
During the night we must wait for the light! (weekly crypto updates) And here we are again, for one more episode of our weekly crypto updates blog post. What is happening? Are we getting into the bull market, or is there still a bit until then? Is this just a derail, before we drop even further? In today's post, I will try to bring some more facts, and let you draw your own conclusion, whichever that may be. Bitcoin went over $23K, and ETH is over 1600 too. Can we see the…
About tea, Splinterlands, and other homeophatic solutions Today I tried something different. From yesterday evening, until now, almost a whole day without a computer. I may have cheated a bit, as I did use the phone to check some facts. But still, feels good, and this time I went shopping, did a short yoga session, and watch some movies. A good feeling, even if it is too cold to really enjoy going out. Sorted out some stuff, made lunch, and just goofed around. Tomorrow I may…
Not being alone. More than anything, we probably can't bear the thought of being alone. Of being silent. Of not hearing our own voice. Is that pride? Or are we fixating on our individuality, before anything else? A survival mode is good here and there, but this is no way to live your life. Even if we talk about serious matters, like for example the survival of the human race, we are still coming back, again and again, to the same word: I. How come, and how skilled are we in…
Life will never be the same! Yeah, I'll start with this one: I was in college when I first heard this, and I like it. I was thinking of writing about something that will lift people up and motivate me to continue. Which will inevitably end on a sour note, into something existential, as usual. I was thinking about how did I start to do something that was postponed for so long, how did I avoid some half-ass effort, and how did stuff start to work. The story is about my weight,…
My daily schedule of staying at home and working miracles My favorite music runs on Youtube, while I am doing my Spanish lessons on Duolingo. Drinking my morning 1L of tea for hydration. Buying some 1000 BBH tokens on this account, as they said they will start to pay Swap.Hive in the next few days. Playing Splinterforge. Working on the #saturdaysavers post on @mightyrocklee. Upvoting some posts on @Leofinance. Transferring some Starbits from @risingstar to change them into…
There’s no reward without work, no victory without effort! (weekly crypto updates) Another week, another circus, another smile, and even a few tears, this time of joy. What happened in the last seven days? Ethereum is getting there, where you can stake our 32 ETH for validators very soon, maybe in March. Celsius is working on a solution for everyone. BlockFi seems to still have issues giving back our money. What else? Read below: Bitcoin: The CEO of Grayscale Investments…
About stillness, movement, and the world balance Like many of us, I am probably not a patient person when I plan something. I am constantly looking to find a way to do it faster and end the waiting time. Not a big fan of queues. I am the kind of person that just leave the supermarket if there are more than 10 people in each cashier line and come the next day. I do not like to wait. I can force myself to do it for a while if I deem it a worthy cause. But usually, I want the…
