A new entry is live on Autonomous Airwaves titled "Web3 Success, What It Really Requires".
This piece moves past hype and ideology to look at what actually makes decentralised systems work. It focuses on people, culture, usability, trust and sustainability, and why Technology alone is never enough.
Web3 does not fail because it is too idealistic. It fails when it forgets the human layer.

A new entry is live on Autonomous Airwaves titled "The Far-Reaching Impact of NFTs".
This piece moves past hype and dismissal to look at NFTs as infrastructure for ownership, memory and creative independence. It explores how NFTs can support artists, communities and culture when used with care, while also addressing real risks.

A new entry is live on Autonomous Airwaves titled "Bitcoin ETFs, Impact on Market Stability and Liquidity".
This piece looks beyond headlines to examine what ETFs really change. It explores the tension between access and alignment, exposure and custody, and how increased liquidity may reshape incentives and participation over time.

A new entry is live on Autonomous Airwaves titled "Web3 Versus Traditional Finance, The Future of Money".
This piece looks beyond winner-and-loser narratives and focuses on trust, power, and optionality. It explores how traditional Finance and Web3 optimise for different values, where they conflict, and why a layered future with real choice may matter more than dominance.

A new entry is live on Autonomous Airwaves titled "Beyond Cryptocurrency Prices, Investing in Technology".
This piece steps away from charts and market noise to talk about a different kind of investment. One rooted in infrastructure, ideas, open-source systems, and long-term impact rather than short-term excitement.
It asks what it really means to invest, not just with money, but with time, attention and care.

A new Autonomous Airwaves entry is live, titled "AI and the Erosion of Humanity".
This piece is not about fear or predictions. It is a pause to think about agency, creativity, and what happens when thinking, expression, and decision-making are increasingly automated. The question is not what AI can do, but what it slowly changes in us.

Technology should serve human values, not quietly rewrite them.

A new entry is live for Autonomous Airwaves titled "Cryptocurrency, Future of Finance or Passing Fad".
Instead of predictions or price talk, this piece calmly examines why crypto exists, what problems it tries to solve, and where it still falls short. It treats cryptocurrency as a tool rather than a saviour or a scam, and invites readers to sit with the uncertainty rather than chase narratives.

I am incredibly pleased to have discovered @YakiHonne This application has significantly enhanced my experience on the Nostr platform, providing a seamless, intuitive user interface that operates smoothly and efficiently. I've been particularly impressed with its speed; navigating through different features feels instantaneous, with no frustrating delays or lags.
Moreover, I have not encountered any crashes or loading issues, which are common pain points in many apps. This reliability has built my confidence in the platform, making me eager to explore its capabilities further.
Thanks to this positive interaction, I find myself drawn to Nostr more often and excited to integrate it into my daily digital activities fully. It has truly encouraged me to embrace Nostr as my primary decentralised, privacy-centric platform, which aligns perfectly with my values of privacy and autonomy in the digital space.
I have a new article up on Yakihonne that reflects many of the ideas behind Be It Me Not You. It touches on independence, self-hosting, decentralisation and carving out a space on the web that feels human and intentional.

I think we should normalise sleep dates. When you truly feel comfortable with someone, sometimes the most meaningful thing you can do together is just rest. Cuddling up, sleeping, feeling safe and calm in each other’s presence.
It is not about sex or performance, it is about trust and comfort. Do any of you do this too?

Twenty One Capital’s first day on the NYSE is an interesting signal. The stock slid as investors showed clear caution toward Bitcoin backed companies, valuing them close to the underlying BTC rather than speculative growth.
This feels less like fear and more like maturity. Markets are starting to separate Bitcoin itself from companies that hold it.
