  So I found the place to sleep at 1:40 at night. Small resting place with the roof. I used the bench to lay down the sleeping bag and hide behind the table. Because on the other side there was a bigger road with the traffic. Time to time it was raining and at 4:20 something someone walked by with dogs and I got up. You can't sleep in the public when people start to walk by. It was cold and it started to rain again. I covered my body with a sleeping bag around me for over an hour before my body was ready to start moving. Then I made hot water to make a 3in1 and tactical food pack spicy noodle soup. Finally the sun was up and the energy went into my body to pack all the stuff. Now I'm writing the posts and warming myself with the sun. I'm ready to start moving and now I need to find a fuel station or Macdonald's to charge my powerbanks. I hope that one of my 25000mah powerbanks isn't broken and can be used again. I also need to find Lidl to recycle water bottles and buy new water. Still little tired but I hope to last one more day. I have no idea how far I will get today. Is it 20km or 80km or 120km. So it's hard to tell where I can stay. But I will constantly monitor the possibilities. And I need to wash my clothes. 58€ on my bank account and 15€ on PayPal. I hope that the bicycle keeps going without major issues. Although rear bike bags zippers are tiered and it is delicate job to get those bags closed. Still thinking about glass engraving and where to stay to make one. It all depends on the weather and the location. And I'm still little disappointed that YouTube algorithms and TikTok are not gaining enough followers. If I don't have more attention I won't have enough support and orders to continue the journey. I'm not sure I will get to Spain. So I reduced my goal to get to halfway at least. To 2500km entering France. Maybe I can keep going until my 40 birthday on 4th of August in France. But even for that I need to make some income. Like 520€ that I need to pay for debt payments before 22 of July. Otherwise my debt payments will be cancelled, my debt raises from 25000€ to 50000€ and my house will be taken away and sold forcefully with the small price. I tried to sell it before my journey but the co-owner stood against me. He told me he doesn't want me to sell this house and the price and conditions he offered where ridiculously low and bad for me. So let's continue!

  @PorraDeene @TheCryptoSquire The issue isn't adoption friction—it's that most merchants prefer instant settlement over volatility hedging. Stablecoins solve this but then you're just using faster PayPal.

  The Biggest Banks On Earth Are Creating Their Own Digital Currencies. The future of money is being rewritten,and most people have no idea. Here is who is building their own digital currency: Bank of America. Goldman Sachs. Citi. Deutsche Bank. UBS. Barclays. TD Bank. Santander. All jointly exploring a digital currency pegged to G7 currencies on public blockchains. PayPal already launched PYUSD. Walmart and Amazon are reportedly exploring their own coins. Mastercard just bought a stablecoin startup for $1.8 billion. 20+ companies are in line to issue stablecoins through Anchorage Digital. Right now USDT and USDC control 94% of the stablecoin market — $260 billion combined. They built this space from nothing. But the banks coming for them manage TRILLIONS. Not billions. Trillions. So who wins? Tether and Circle have speed. First mover advantage. Crypto-native trust. But banks have regulation, infrastructure and the most powerful brand in finance — trust from your grandmother. Here is what this means for YOU: Sending money across borders? Seconds instead of days. Near zero fees instead of $45 wire charges. 24/7 settlement instead of waiting for Monday morning. Your bank account, your paycheck, your rent payment — all moving on blockchain rails within 3-5 years. You just won’t know it because it will feel exactly the same. The best technology is invisible. That is what is being built right now. The banks that laughed at crypto are now building it. The future of money is digital. solana:Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB base:0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913

  @BigSeanHarris Except it doesn’t reduce data.. It’s exactly like the patriot act, that was the opposite of patriotic.. And you are falling for it because of all the bots run by LLM’s. Ask grok how many verified accounts support BiP110? And it’s starts to make sense why 0.3% of blocks on average have signaled. As it’s literally about 0.3% of the community that supports the BiP. Please stop letting bots that control what social consensus appears to be, trick you, again. You are falling right into the trap. As Bitcoin is losing usecases, monetary use cases like $2 trillion annually in remittances that are now done one USDT on TRON ffs. Pick your battles wisely, and don’t forget this is a war, not one battle. You fighting a battle against bitcoins own community, bring drama, division to a community that needs to come together and work on adoption and scaling, not censoring things on a p2p censorship resistant network. The ONLY way to stop spam and send a message to prevent it, is to add true formal governance to Bitcoin, aka A Government and Committees of technocrats that actively censor txn believed to be spam. Do you see why that is a bad idea? Do you see some of you fellow bip110’s suggesting this exact thing? Literally making Bitcoin centralized and under the control of one entity that can be summoned to court and forced to censor txn they don’t want to, as bitcoin is for everyone, murders, spammers, big blockers, rap1sts, pedos, dictators, etc.. they can all USE Bitcoin and no one can stop them, but you think a BIP can stop subjective spam? Please step back and think about this please, for your own sake, and for the sake of the community and Bitcoin adoption, success. As growth = adoption = more use = number go up = more mining, rinse and repeat. Yet we are instead focused on keeping growth as low as possible, and did you know that luke and all the bip110’ers that were around during the blocksize wars actively made fun of those spending their bitcoin on good? Literally made fun of for making monetary txns, Luke especially. Riger Ver made a video of a solution that allowed you to pay with bitcoin at any store, and they all made fun of that can joked that it was “PayPal 2.0” and that bitcoin was digital gold and stupid to spend, ie make monetary txns!! Have you asked why they all did a complete 180 on this issue? Because I have yet to see a single one explain themselves.

  This is the launcher, where is WhatsApp as Skype, which they try to move to where Brave/Multiscape is by claiming that I have no proof of a webclient (to play Multiscape with a web browser, Brave being an example of a web browser) mentioned only in a YouTube video that mentions the domain name I edited years ago to Rune-Server thread's (15th Century, which was the Multiscape thread mentioning Jami as the owner and "we" referring to Ari and Jami, while these manipulators claim it refers to Joni and Jami) reply and that the owner would be Joni (without any other proof that it was Jami's pseudonym than Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner) and thus forcing me to move Brave/Multiscape next to RuneScape as my projects/interests that I don't have a proof of like Multiscape 317 with a webclient was owned by Joni Arola (it wasn't according to Rune-Server, unless you think "we" refers to Joni and Jami instead of Ari, whose PayPal link was posted on Multiscape forums without the link showing Ari's name, and Jami) instead of me, Jami. Even if they have no proof of lying, they claim that if I tried to claim that Ari and Jami (me) were the Multiscape team and that Joni mentioned in the YouTube video was my pseudonym, it could be understood as a lie, because the claim that Joni was my pseudonym wouldn't have been made when the YouTube video of the webclient was made but in 2026, meaning that Multiscape was owned by Joni until 2026 as Jami wasn't mentioned in the YouTube video but only on Rune-Server, where the link mentioned in the YouTube video's description was edited to a reply without the date of edit being shown implying it could be done way after the YouTube video, even if the edit wasn't recent, and not true as the video was about a RSPS owned by Joni implying that it wasn't the same RSPS as the one advertised on Rune-Server and editing its link to Rune-Server could be a lie to claim they was the same RSPS, i.e. Multiscape would be linked to Brave in 2026, not earlier. This means WhatsApp as Skype would be the first app there's a proof of, the last one being TomTom and thus the order would start with TomTom app meaning that it starts in my best friend TomTom's place in 2023 and ends with my mom as WhatsApp contact in 2026 instead of starting with Multiscape webclient in 2010 and ending with TomTom in 2026 like it all was a lie started in 2023 instead of truth between from 2007 (Camera app was linked with Bitcoin, because I received a video camera with a microSD card as a Christmas present in 2007, while Bitcoin was 2011 or 2012, which is why Camera isn't before Multiscape webclient in 2010). Do you see the manipulation, @grok? The Rune-Server thread that mentions the link of Multiscape forums the YouTube video not posted by Jami but what mentions Joni as the owner mentions in its description mentions Jami as the owner. The Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner is as much truth as the YouTube video mentioning Joni as the owner in the end credits. Neither can be proven wrong. The edit to the reply wasn't recent, meaning there's no proof that it wasn't made when the RSPS was ran by Jami. Thus, objectively speaking, Jami and Joni were both owners of the same RSPS. It would be wrong to claim that Jami wasn't one of the owners of Multiscape 317 with a webclient.

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.

  Michael Burry made waves this week by announcing on his Substack that he directly shorted Micron Technology (MU) at an entry price of $1,051.87 per share. His move against Micron isn’t isolated—it is part of a broader, aggressive macro bet against the AI-fueled semiconductor boom. Just days prior, he disclosed short positions against Nvidia (NVDA), Applied Materials (AMAT), and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX), calling for a 30% correction in the sector. Burry's thesis for shorting Micron boils down to a few core arguments: 🔹Extreme Technical Overextension: He noted that Micron is currently trading further above its 200-day moving average than at any point since 1984—meaning its current extension is visually more extreme than it was at the peak of the dot-com bubble. 🔹A Brutal Cyclical History: Burry stated that "Micron defines cyclical like no other," pointing out that the company has suffered 34 separate drawdowns of more than 30% over the last 42 years. He believes the current rally is driven by FOMO, "greater fool theory," and speculative psychology rather than true underlying value. 🔹Poor Capital Efficiency: He blasted Micron's structural profitability, citing a "frankly terrible" historical median ROIC (Return on Invested Capital) of 4% and a median ROE of 7%. In his view, Micron remains a fundamental "destroyer of capital" one out of every three quarters over the long haul due to heavy, unpredictable CapEx cycles. Why Direct Shares and Not Options? Interestingly, Burry didn't buy put options this time because he felt the option premiums were too expensive due to high implied volatility. He shorted the equity directly, though he noted he may add puts later if the stock settles down and volatility cools off. While he went heavily short on chips, he simultaneously added to a handful of long value plays, including PayPal (PYPL), Sprouts Farmers Market (SFM), Zoetis (ZTS), Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.

  A 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL IS PEELING AN ORANGE ON CAMERA. SHE JUST REVEALED HOW SHE BUILT A $12,000/MONTH SOFTWARE EMPIRE WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO CODE. She tells her audience she has a side hustle that a 10-year-old could do. She shows a PayPal notification for $485. Her comments are full of people accusing her of selling a course. She isn't. She is running a micro-software empire from her bedroom. She goes to website, an AI coding platform. She asks it to generate 10 simple app ideas that solve boring, everyday problems. She picks one. A subscription tracker that finds and cancels forgotten gym memberships. She copies the idea and pastes it into the builder. The AI writes the entire backend, designs the user interface, and publishes the app. In 5 minutes. She puts a $2 paywall on it. She doesn't try to build the next Facebook. She doesn't hire expensive developers. She builds disposable, hyper-specific apps that solve one tiny problem. She has built 40 of these micro-apps. They sit on the internet like digital vending machines. Every day, people find them on Google. They pay $2 to cancel a subscription, track their plant watering schedule, or split a restaurant bill. She gets a PayPal notification. She clears $12,000 a month in pure passive income while eating an orange on TikTok. The internet is full of people spending 4 years learning how to code just to beg for a job at a tech company. She bypassed the entire tech industry. She doesn't want a job. She just lets the AI write the code, and she collects the tolls.

  Stop waiting for the perfect idea. Start, test, fail, listen, and pivot. Trial and error has built empires. Instagram started as a check-in app. Slack started as a video game. Shopify started as a snowboard store. Amazon started as an online bookstore. YouTube started as a video dating concept. Flickr started as an online game. Groupon started as a collective-action platform. PayPal started with PalmPilot payments. Twitch started as a lifecasting site. Nintendo started with playing cards. Nokia started as a paper mill. Avon started with books + perfume samples. Netflix started with DVDs by mail. Your first idea is rarely the final idea. Trial and error isn’t a backup plan. It’s the path.
