Stuck at base camp with truly terrible internet and weather 😅 Huge thanks to #XmrBazaar dev Anarkio: his zero-bloat scripts make bazaar run beautifully, even in the most remote spots with awful connections. It really opens doors for people who have very few choices❤️ Funny twist: Tor actually feels faster than clearnet here! My regular accounts barely load, but #Monero-related stuff works great :) Merry Christmas & a very Happy New Year to everyone🎄✨

Exponential growth is our secret weapon: not just for markets, but because states won’t spot the threat until it’s way too late. As Albert A. Bartlett said: “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function.” We humans are notoriously bad at wrapping our heads around exponential growth, and luckily, politicians aren’t even our sharpest minds ;) Here are three classic riddles to prove it (sharing in case you haven’t seen them yet), because grasping exponentials might be the most underlearned lesson in history. - Bacteria Doubling Riddle: A Petri dish starts with a smattering of bacteria. Every second, their numbers double. The dish fills completely after one minute. When was it half full? - Paper Folding Riddle: Grab a sheet of paper and fold it in half. Then fold it again. If you could keep at it 50 times, how thick do you think it’d end up? ;) - Chessboard Wheat Riddle: Perhaps the oldest tale of exponential growth hails from ancient India. Legend has it a king offered the chess inventor any reward for such a marvelous game. The inventor asked for one grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard (64 squares total), two on the second, four on the third, and so on — doubling each time. How many grains at the end?

Heading out to greet the New Year in the mountains: hoping I don't become a cautionary tale. Keeping one eye on XmrBazaar.com, but I'll be less active on socials. Enjoy your holidays, chase what lights you up, cherish good ppl in your life, read books, and live big! ...and if you can name all 6 books on my pic, I wanna be friends with you :)

When any freedom tool becomes a tribal identity, it recreates the power dynamics it was meant to dismantle. Bitcoin as identity? A trap. Monero as identity? A trap. True inner freedom means no need to fit any box.

The best way to deal with tariffs and taxes 👇 https://x.com/bunkerjunge/status/2000510643770888446: "If these criminals really introduce a sugar tax, I'll buy sweets abroad and sell them on xmrbazaar cheaper than you can buy them in the store. So please do that and best at 50% or so @bundeskanzler 🙏🏼"

Most victimless "crimes" are punished more severely because they target the state, not people: unlicensed services or tax evasion often draw harsher penalties than rape or murder. The state isn't just a social structure to care for society: it's a monster that always prioritizes its own interests over genuine human suffering. #freesamourai #freeianfreeman

6 years ago today, #RandomX went live on #Monero mainnet. Still no ASICs in sight... Anyone with a modern laptop can still mine real private money. Hashrate followed CPU evolution and remained decentralized. Quietly one of the most successful experiments in cryptocurrency history.
