2/🧵Vaccines are very important, and we should not joke with them. Most times when there is disease in the air, the World Health Organisation [WHO], in collaboration with the government, will instruct the health practitioners to move around and immunise the kids from 0 to 5 years old.

Baked Swedish Sausage with Apples, Onions, and Mustard: A Cozy Classic Reinvented
In this culinary journey, the chef revisits a beloved Swedish dish—ungt gratinerad falukorv (baked sausage)—with a simple yet flavorful twist. Previously prepared with Mediterranean vegetables and a tomato-based sauce, today’s version leans into traditional Swedish flavors, emphasizing two types of mustard and the natural sweetness of apples.
The dish centers around a few key ingredients: falukorv (Swedish sausage), apples, onions, and a homemade mustard-based sauce. The chef begins by preparing a cold-formed sauce, mixing grädde (cream), Skånsk senap (Skåne mustard), and a couple of tablespoons each of traditional Dijon mustard and Ingrid Marie apple mustard. The mixture is seasoned with salt and black pepper, then whisked together for a smooth base.
Next, the chef slices onions and apples, emphasizing a layered presentation. The onions and apples are sliced thinly to facilitate easy layering within the dish. Removing the core from the apples with a small knife ensures neat slices, and both are prepared in advance for easy assembly. The apple slices introduce a touch of sweetness that pairs beautifully with the savory sausage.
Portioning and Assembling the Sausage
The falukorv is sliced into portions suitable for serving, with a clever trick to prevent rolling—cutting a small piece off the bottom so each piece sits firmly on the plate. The sausage slices are then carefully cut in a way that doesn’t separate them entirely, allowing each portion to hold together but still be easy to eat.
Layering begins with placing onion and apple slices around and inside the sausage portions, creating a colorful and inviting presentation. The chef mentions that the leftover slices are perfect for snacking or adding more flavor.
Once assembled in a baking dish, the sausage and vegetables are topped with the mustard sauce, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. A handful of grated cheese, in this case Gruyère, is sprinkled over the top, ready to melt and form a golden crust upon baking.
The dish is baked in a preheated oven at 225°C (about 437°F) for approximately 20–25 minutes. During baking, the cheese melts and forms a crispy layer, while the sauce simmers and thickens. The aroma of the dish is irresistible, with hints of sweet mustard and baked cheese filling the kitchen.
Serving Suggestions and Variations
After baking, the dish is plated alongside classic sides such as potatoes or rice. The chef recommends serving with extra sauce and a sprinkle of fresh greens for color and freshness. Portioning the dish into individual servings makes it easier for guests to serve themselves, avoiding the mess of slicing directly from the baking dish.
The dish’s versatility shines through—ingredients can be adjusted based on preferences or availability. The emphasis remains on the simplicity of the components: sausage, apples, onions, and mustard, which together create a warm, comforting meal.
Final Thoughts
This Swedish baked sausage recipe offers a deliciously hearty and approachable meal, ideal for cozy family dinners or entertaining guests. Its combination of sweet apples, savory sausage, aromatic mustard, and melted cheese creates a balanced and flavorful experience.
The chef concludes by encouraging viewers to enjoy this dish—that it’s very warm and tasty with minimal ingredients—highlighting its suitability for quick weekday meals or special occasions. The video ends with a reminder to subscribe for more recipes, promising more culinary adventures ahead.
In summary, this traditional Swedish dish has been elevated with simple, high-quality ingredients, delivering a comforting and flavorful experience perfect for colder days or whenever you crave hearty home-cooking.

The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe: Perfectly Crunchy on the Outside, Soft on the Inside
Every home baker should have a go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe in their culinary arsenal, and this one stands out as a tried-and-true favorite. After testing dozens of variations, the creator of this recipe has mastered the ideal balance of texture and flavor, resulting in cookies that are irresistibly crunchy on the outside and delectably soft within. Along with the recipe, the video dives into the science behind each step, offering insights into why certain ingredients and techniques elevate the classic treat.
The Art of Browning Butter: Adding Depth to Flavor
The process begins with a secret step: browning butter. This involves melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it foams and develops a rich, nutty aroma. As it browns, grainy solids form at the bottom of the pan—a sign that it's ready to be taken off the heat. Browning butter adds complex, toasted flavor notes that set these cookies apart from ordinary ones.
A quick comparison reveals that using coconut oil results in greasier cookies lacking depth, while regular butter, without browning, produces a more standard flavor. Browning the butter enhances the cookie's richness, making each bite more flavorful and nuanced.
The Perfect Balance of Sugars for Texture and Flavor
A crucial component of the recipe is the combination of both brown sugar and granulated sugar. Brown sugar contributes a caramel-like sweetness and moisture due to its molasses content, resulting in a chewy, soft center. Granulated sugar, on the other hand, promotes a crisp exterior by encouraging the sugar to crystallize during baking. This dual-sugar strategy creates an ideal contrast in texture that is hallmark to a bakery-quality cookie.
Incorporating Milk and Vanilla for Moisture and Aroma
Adding a splash of milk helps keep the dough tender and moist, while vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile, imparting warm, inviting notes that complement the chocolate.
Mixing and the Importance of Ingredient Measurement
Once the browned butter has cooled slightly, it’s poured into the sugar mixture and combined with other wet ingredients. The dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—are sifted separately to ensure even distribution, then gradually incorporated into the wet mixture.
The creator emphasizes the importance of accurate measurement, especially regarding flour. Using a kitchen scale yields the most precise results, but if measuring by cups, gently spoon flour into the cup and level it off to avoid packing it down, which can lead to overly dense cookies.
The Chocolate: Big Chunks for Maximum Melty Pleasure
Instead of pre-made chocolate chips, the recipe advocates chopping dark chocolate into large, satisfying chunks. This approach creates luscious melty pools of chocolate in every bite, elevating the cookie experience. Once mixed into the dough, the chocolate chunks are just folded in—overmixing can affect the texture.
Chilling the Dough: A Key to Perfect Cookies
Refrigerating the dough for exactly one hour is a pivotal step. The process solidifies the fats, preventing the cookies from spreading excessively during baking—a common issue that results in pancake-like cookies rather than those with a lovely, bakery-style appearance. An experiment with unchilled dough confirms that skipping this step leads to overly spread-out, flatter cookies.
Using an ice cream scoop for uniform cookies ensures consistent sizes, and spacing them adequately on a lined baking sheet prevents merging during baking. Baking at 350°F (180°C) for 13–14 minutes, until golden, produces that signature crisp exterior and tender interior.
For an aesthetic touch, you can press a couple of chocolate chunks on top of each cookie before baking for a lovely presentation. After baking, a simple trick involves placing an upside-down cup over the hot cookies and giving it a gentle shimmy; this shapes them into perfect circles, adding to the bakery-style look.
While the cookies are still warm, sprinkling a pinch of flaky sea salt enhances the chocolate flavor and contributes a savory contrast that elevates each bite. The cookies are then allowed to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
The Result: The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
The final product is an exemplary cookie—crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with complex flavors stemming from the browned butter and melty, large chocolate chunks. The combination of textures and flavors makes these cookies a definitive favorite for any occasion.
The full recipe is available on the creator's website, with both metric and imperial measurements. Readers are encouraged to use precise methods, especially when measuring ingredients, and to refrigerate the dough to achieve optimal results.
For those seeking more baking inspiration, a baking app offer a 7-day free trial, accessible via a QR code or link in the description. Whether you're a novice or experienced baker, this recipe provides a foolproof guide to making bakery-quality cookies at home.
Baking is an art and science—embrace the process, and enjoy every delicious bite.

Delicious Summer Potato Salads: Three Unique Recipes to Try
Potato salads evoke feelings of comfort and wholesomeness, making them a perfect addition to any summer table. Today, we're exploring three different versions, each with its own distinct flavor profile: one with a crunchy and creamy twist, another featuring a vibrant homemade herb pesto, and the third celebrating zesty, fresh flavors. These recipes are sure to become favorites for your sunny gatherings.
The Viral Smashed Potato Salad: Crunchy, Creamy, and Flavorful
Preparing the Potatoes
The process begins with heavily salting a pot of cold water—an essential step to infuse the potatoes with flavor from the inside out. Baby potatoes are added and cooked for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
While the potatoes cook, a spiced oil is prepared by mixing olive oil with ground cumin, onion powder, paprika, and salt. This aromatic mixture will later be used to flavor the crispy smashed potatoes.
Smash and Bake
Once cooked and drained, the potatoes are dried and placed on a lined baking tray. Using a cup with parchment paper underneath prevents sticking and makes smashing easier and cleaner. The potatoes are gently flattened, brushed with some of the spicy oil, and baked at 430°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes. They are flipped, coated with the remaining oil, and baked for another 20–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, a creamy dressing is whipped up with unsweetened soy yogurt, vegan mayo, lemon juice, crushed garlic, Dijon mustard, agave syrup, and a pinch of salt. Fresh chopped cucumber, minced red onion, parsley, and dill are added to the dressing for freshness.
Assemble
Once the potatoes are crispy and cooled enough to handle, they're crushed into the salad and tossed thoroughly with the dressing and herbs. The result? A crunchy, creamy potato salad that's utterly satisfying and packed with flavor.
For this vibrant salad, colorful baby potatoes are quartered and roasted with butterbeans, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper at 430°F (220°C). Keeping the beans on separate trays helps them crisp up rather than steam.
Homemade Pesto
Meanwhile, a homemade pesto is crafted by toasted walnuts and pine nuts, which are blended with lemon zest, lemon juice, basil, arugula, olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic, and salt. Toasted nuts provide a richer flavor, but pre-roasted ones can be substituted for convenience.
A variety of vegetables like green onions, radishes, cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and the reserved lemon zest are prepared. Once the potatoes and beans are cooked and slightly cooled, they are combined in a bowl with the pesto and chopped veggies, creating a vibrant, herbaceous salad.
Garnish & Taste
To finish, more arugula is stirred in, and the salad is garnished with additional herbs. This pesto-based potato salad is both visually stunning and bursting with fresh flavors, making it ideal for summer picnics.
Tangy and Zesty Potato Salad: A Refreshing Summery Twist
Cooking the Potatoes
Baby potatoes are halved and boiled in heavily salted water until easily pierced with a fork, then drained and cooled slightly.
While that's happening, a lively dressing is prepared with olive oil, red wine vinegar, milder Harissa sauce, pomegranate molasses, maple syrup, and a blend of spices including turmeric, cumin, and sumac. This combination delivers a gentle heat and depth of tanginess.
Assembling the Salad
The cooked potatoes are added to a large bowl with chopped cucumber, red onion, dried apricots, fresh dill, parsley, and preserved lemon slices (or lemon zest if unavailable). The dressing is poured over, and everything is mixed well, creating a crisp and flavorful salad.
For added crunch, chopped roasted pistachios are sprinkled on top, enhancing both texture and flavor. Garnished with extra herbs, this salad perfectly captures a bright, zesty essence that’s perfect for summer meals.
Conclusion: Three Unique Potato Salads to Elevate Your Summer Menu
Each of these recipes offers a different take on the beloved potato salad, from crispy smashed potatoes to herbaceous pesto-infused goodness and zesty, tangy freshness. They are versatile, flavorful, and full of summertime spirit.

Mastering Flavorful Pasta: The Science and Art Behind Perfectly Cooked Dishes
Creating flavorful pasta is both an art and a science, and one key factor often overlooked is the temperature of the water used during cooking. This understanding becomes the foundation for a series of delicious, innovative recipes that elevate traditional Italian dishes into plant-based masterpieces.
The Importance of Water Temperature in Pasta Cooking
The concept of adding salt to boiling water rings true across culinary traditions. Salted water forms a crucial step toward enhancing the flavor of pasta. When discussing the science of starches, the video demonstrates that the temperature at which cornstarch is mixed with water significantly impacts the final sauce. Whisking cornstarch into cold water results in a smooth, lump-free slurry that, when heated, thickens uniformly. Conversely, adding cornstarch directly to hot water causes molecules to rapidly expand and stick together, creating lumps. This simple but critical tip emphasizes the importance of preparing starch slurries with cold liquids before applying heat to achieve desirable texture in sauces.
The first recipe explores a plant-based take on the classic Italian spaghetti carbonara. Traditional carbonara relies on guanciale, a cured pork cheek, but this version replaces it with homemade smoky tofu bacon, capturing the smoky, umami-rich essence of the original.
Making Smoky Tofu Bacon
The marinade for the tofu bacon involves soy sauce for umami, dark soy for depth, maple syrup for balance, vegetable oil, black pepper, dried thyme, garlic powder, and a dash of liquid smoke—essential for imparting that authentic smoky flavor. The pressed tofu is cut into small pieces, coated with this marinade, and baked at 390°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until crispy.
Meanwhile, the pasta is cooked in heavily salted boiling water—another critical step—until it reaches al dente. The sauce is made by creating a cornstarch slurry in cold water, which is then heated gently with nutritional yeast, vegan butter, garlic powder, turmeric, and salt to develop a creamy, golden carbonara sauce.
The seasoning is vital; freshly ground black pepper provides the signature heat and aroma, while black salt (kala namak) adds an eggy flavor that mimics traditional eggs, essential for authentic taste. Tossing the cooked pasta in this sauce coats it beautifully, and serving is topped with the smoky tofu bits, vegan Parmesan, a sprinkle of black salt, and black pepper for a satisfying finish.
A quick recipe for vegan Parmesan involves blending lightly roasted cashews with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. This simple addition adds an extra layer of cheesy flavor and is perfect for sprinkling over pasta and salads.
Tomato Red Pesto: A Deliciously Simple Sauce
The second dish features a vibrant tomato red pesto, assembled with just a handful of ingredients—shallot, garlic, canned whole tomatoes, red pesto, and vegan cream cheese.
Building the Sauce
Sautéing shallot and garlic until golden sets the flavor base, then adding canned tomatoes and red pesto creates a rich, flavorful sauce. Blending in vegan cream cheese, a pinch of salt, and black pepper results in a smooth, creamy pesto that perfectly coats the pasta.
The pasta, referred to as "noi," is boiled until it floats, indicating it's cooked perfectly. For added texture and flavor, the cooked noi can be pan-fried until golden on the outside. Finishing touches include a squeeze of lemon juice, vegan Parmesan, and fresh basil slices, resulting in a colorful, fragrant dish.
Conclusion: Embracing Science and Creativity in Plant-Based Cooking
These recipes illustrate that understanding key principles such as water temperature and seasoning can dramatically influence the outcome of your dishes. Whether it's making smoky tofu bacon for a plant-based carbonara or blending a silky tomato pesto, each step is thoughtfully designed to maximize flavor and texture.
For those looking to expand their culinary repertoire, a detailed guide to these recipes is available via links in the description, alongside an innovative plant-based recipe and nutrition app boasting over 1,000 recipes. This resource supports home cooks in their journey to create delicious, wholesome, and satisfying plant-based meals.

Elevate Your Lunch Game: Delicious Recipes to Try Today
Making a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch might be a timeless classic, but why settle for ordinary when you can create something truly extraordinary? Today, we're diving into two vibrant, flavor-packed recipes that will not only impress your taste buds but also elevate your midday meal. Get ready to learn how to make a mouthwatering Japanese-inspired yakisoba noodle dish and a colorful barbecue tofu wrap — perfect for lunch or dinner.
Yakisoba, which translates directly to "fried noodles" in Japanese, is a beloved street-food classic known for its savory, slightly sweet taste and versatile ingredients. The dish is characterized by its hearty mix of vegetables, noodles, and a rich sauce, making it a satisfying meal in every bite.
What Makes Yakisoba Special?
The star of yakisoba is the wheat-based noodles, which can be found dry or pre-cooked. They're often golden in color due to natural minerals used in their production, not eggs. If yakisoba noodles aren't available, similar options like ramen or even spaghetti can be substituted, offering flexibility for home cooks.
While the noodles cook, prepare a homemade yakisoba sauce by combining mushroom stir-fry sauce (a plant-based alternative to oyster sauce), reduced-sodium soy sauce, ketchup, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of brown sugar. This blend creates that signature salty-sweet flavor punch loved in traditional recipes.
Protein and Vegetables: Building the Dish
Plant-based chicken pieces are cooked until golden, then set aside. The noodles are fried briefly to develop a lightly crunchy exterior, then combined with sautéed shiitake mushrooms and a colorful mix of onion, carrot, and cabbage. Returning the noodles and protein to the pan, you add green onions and pour over the sauce, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
Traditionally, yakisoba is garnished with pickled ginger for a tangy contrast, and in this rendition, a sprinkle of seasoning adds extra flavor. Serve hot, garnished beautifully for presentation or packed into containers for leftovers — they keep well in the fridge for a few days.
Colorful BBQ Tofu Wraps: A Plant-Based Marvel
Switching gears, the second recipe takes us into the realm of hearty, colorful wraps that are both delicious and visually appealing.
Cooking the Base
Start by cooking rice according to package instructions. Recognizing its carb-rich nature, the recipe embraces the "carbs on carbs" philosophy, but for a lighter alternative, you can swap rice for avocado slices.
Create a simple but tasty chipotle mayo by mixing vegan mayonnaise with chipotle sauce. This spicy, smoky sauce adds a punch to every bite.
Preparing the Tofu
Firm tofu is grated into chunky shreds, then sautéed with garlic and smoked paprika until lightly crispy. A splash of barbecue sauce is added to give it a smoky, caramelized flavor, perfect for wrapping.
Assembling the Wraps
Layer rice, the saucy tofu, and fresh crunchy vegetables like spinach, shredded cabbage, and corn in a large tortilla. For added taste and texture, green onions can be included. Spread the chipotle mayo directly into the wrap or serve it on the side. Rolling and optionally toasting the wraps in a grill pan yields a satisfying crunch and helps hold everything together.
These recipes are not only delicious but also flexible. For on-the-go lunches, simply pack the yakisoba in containers; it stores well and re-heats beautifully. The tofu wraps are equally portable, and a quick toast elevates their texture.

Allocate 20% of revenues for economic security, 5-7.5% for the team, and 10% for TCY, with the remainder directed toward buybacks, burns, or incentives for new pools without POL.
There's no need to incentivize established pools' liquidity. Most revenues should go toward buyback and burn dividends. Adjustments can be made to incentivize fees in new pools requiring support.
This plan was crafted following the Thorfi collapse, as special interests prevailed, retaining flawed economic design elements. Progress is being made, but removing ineffective components is essential for long-term success.
It dawned on me why certain narratives are so off-putting and ineffective. They either play down severe atrocities committed against Palestinians or blow minor acts against them out of proportion. This inconsistency is both hypocritical and irritating, ultimately damaging their cause further.
The 10K to 1 Million Crypto Challenge: Strategies, Insights, and Top Picks for the Next Alt Season
As the crypto ecosystem prepares for what many analysts predict will be a historic altcoin season later this year, a seasoned trader is sharing his comprehensive plan to potentially turn an initial $10,000 investment into over $1 million. Reflecting on his past success—where he turned $40,000 into over a million during the last cycle—he is now aiming for similar explosive gains, but with a more modest starting capital and a focused portfolio of small-cap tokens.
The Macro Environment and Why Conditions Are Ripe for an Alt Season
The foundation of this ambitious strategy lies in understanding macroeconomic conditions that historically trigger major altcoin rallies. The analyst emphasizes that previous significant cycles—2013, 2017, and 2021—were driven by surges in global liquidity. With macro factors lining up now, he anticipates an upcoming alt season around October 2025, driven by a series of geopolitical and economic factors.
One key driver is the ongoing rebuild of the "TGA" (Treasury General Account), which acts as a liquidity vacuum that is poised to release funds into the markets. Additionally, markets are increasingly pricing in the first rate cut by the Federal Reserve slated for September, promising to loosen credit and increase liquidity. The broader trend of global M2 money supply growth, though sluggish since 2021, shows signs of a sustained uptick into 2026—fueling risk-on assets like altcoins.
A weakening dollar pegs to the potential loosening of monetary policy. The current administration’s plans—including deregulation, rate cuts, and efforts to run the economy hot—are set to stimulate liquidity. Notably, the impending departure of Fed Chair Jerome Powell in 2026 allows for potential policy shifts favorable to risk assets if Trump or allies shape the next leadership, prioritizing aggressive rate cuts and possibly ending quantitative tightening (QT).
Further bolstering the crypto outlook are recent legislative and regulatory developments. The passage of the Stablecoin Act, which clarifies crypto regulations, and the Clarity Act, expected later this year, are both highly bullish. The SEC’s fostering of innovation in the crypto space—deregulating and enabling broader adoption—adds to the narrative.
Lastly, the flow of trillions into traditional asset management giants like BlackRock and Nvidia emphasizes that the general liquidity tide is turning positive for risky assets, including cryptocurrencies and their underlying projects.
The Power of Liquidity and Market Cycles in Crypto
Interestingly, despite the macro's influence, the crypto-specific environment now sees significant institutional and retail interest. The analyst highlights that the overall crypto market is around $4 trillion in valuation, but major traditional players such as BlackRock and Nvidia hold assets surpassing this total. This indicates that liquidity—rather than just token-specific fundamentals—is the main engine.
While 2021's massive run was fueled by a historic liquidity surge, we're now observing early signs of sustained liquidity growth coming from multiple sources, including dollar weakening and policy shifts. This confluence could spark an alt season even if overall crypto market cap doesn’t reach previous cycle highs—by feeding more liquidity into smaller, high-growth tokens.
Achieving a 100x return (from $10,000 to over $1 million) requires high-risk, high-reward bets. The analyst emphasizes that large-cap tokens are unlikely to provide such outsized gains, thus he is focusing solely on small-cap tokens—those with tiny market caps and exponential upside potential.
He outlines a strategic approach: identify high-conviction, high-upside tokens that can realistically reach multi-billion dollar valuations during a bull market, driven by fundamental developments, narrative shifts, and liquidity influx.
The Seven Tokens in the Portfolio

Why: From the creators of viral pandemic-themed games, the token powers highly engaging, memetic blockchain games with built-in fee and revenue mechanisms.
Why It Matters: These games generate hundreds of thousands of signups rapidly, creating a viral ecosystem with both gaming and fee revenue potential.
Bull Case: Given their track record, reaching a few hundred million to a billion in market cap is realistic, making a 100x a straightforward possibility if hype and user engagement pick up.
Investment: $1,000
The Plan: Riding the Upcoming Alt Season
The trader’s game plan is straightforward yet bold: allocate $10,000 exclusively among these tiny, high-upside tokens. The goal is to hold and actively monitor these positions, aiming for staggering gains during the anticipated alt season, which he expects to ignite around late 2025 to early 2026.
He recognizes that this approach carries enormous risk—these tokens could fail or underperform—but emphasizes that to achieve 100x gains, high risk must be accepted.
Continuous Updates and Community Engagement
In the coming weeks, the trader promises regular updates on the progress of this portfolio, tracking each token’s development, market environment, and how macro factors influence their performance. He encourages viewers to subscribe for ongoing insights, market analysis, and more high-risk, high-reward experiments.
He invites traders and investors to do their own research, stressing the importance of responsible investing. This is not financial advice, but a deeply analytical and strategic bet on the emerging macro and micro trends shaping the next crypto uptrend.
This experiment exemplifies a calculated high-risk approach based on macroeconomic trends, narrative rotations, and innovative token fundamentals. If the macro environment aligns as predicted, this portfolio could capitalize on what might be one of the most explosive alt seasons in crypto history—potentially the start of a multi-year, multi-cycle bull run driven by liquidity, innovation, and institutional adoption.
For those willing to accept the risks, the upcoming months could be a historic opportunity to see extraordinary gains—if the stars align as the analyst believes—and diversification into tiny cap gems might yield the next crypto millionaires.

Escalation of Tensions in Southeast Asia: A Potential Regional Conflict Unfolds
A Region Known for Scenic Beauty Turns to Conflict
When thinking about Southeast Asia, images of golden sunsets, ancient temples, and pristine beaches come to mind. However, recent events have shattered this idyllic image, plunging the region into chaos and violence. On Thursday midday, scenes of civilians fleeing amid the sound of artillery shells and reports of air strikes have emerged, signaling a significant escalation in tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. As midday turned into late afternoon, these clashes vividly demonstrated a shift from a previously tense but relatively calm border region to a hot war situation with risks of spiraling further.
The immediate cause of the recent escalation can be traced back to a single tragic incident on May 28th. An encounter between Thai and Cambodian patrols in a disputed area—located within the so-called Emerald Triangle, where the borders of Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos meet—led to violence. Instead of a passing exchange, the skirmish erupted into gunfire that resulted in the death of a Cambodian soldier. Both sides blamed each other, claiming self-defense, but this incident ignited a chain of hostility that has since spiraled out of control.
Initially, military leaders from both nations sought to de-escalate tensions through face-to-face talks. However, by early June, troop mobilizations along the border indicated a shift from diplomatic efforts to overt military posturing. Nationalist sentiments in both countries fueled this escalation, transforming what might have been a fleeting skirmish into a broader confrontation.
Historical Backdrop: A Deep-Rooted Territorial Dispute
At the core of this conflict lies a complicated historical dispute rooted in colonial-era treaties and national pride. The area around Preah Vihear, a remote region in the Dangrek mountain range, has long been a flashpoint. Historically, this territory was transferred from Siam (modern-day Thailand) to French Indochina in 1907 through a treaty that parceled off parts of Cambodian land to France, which then administratively attached Preah Vihear and its ancient Hindu temple to Cambodia.
Thailand has accepted that the temple itself belongs to Cambodia; however, it claims parts of the surrounding land, citing historical grievances. This has led to disputes over the temple's UNESCO World Heritage listing and surrounding territories. Thailand’s resentment over these border divisions has recurred over decades, including episodes during World War II when Thailand retook the area under nationalist fervor, only to lose it again after the war, further complicating the territorial legitimacy.
Legal rulings by the International Court of Justice in 1962 and subsequent decisions in 2013 have upheld Cambodia’s sovereignty over the temple and the adjacent land. Nonetheless, Bangkok refuses to recognize this authority fully, maintaining its claim over a narrow 4.6 km stretch of land around Preah Vihear, feeding nationalist sentiments and grievances that haven't subsided.
The legacy of colonial division, wartime disputes, and national pride has kept these tensions alive for over a century. The dispute became entangled with broader regional issues, including Cambodia’s tumultuous history of civil war, genocide under Pol Pot, and Vietnamese occupation. During the Cold War, the boundary area served as a frontline, with Vietnam controlling parts of Cambodia and Thailand supporting resistance movements.
Despite improvements and relative calm in recent years, the core issues remained unresolved. Periodic clashes occurred but seldom escalated beyond localized skirmishes or artillery exchanges. The recent escalation, however, marks a significant departure, fueled by nationalist passions and political vulnerabilities within both countries.
The Political Context: Thailand’s Internal Struggles
Thailand, with its long history of military coups and enduring influence of the armed forces on politics, faces a fragile internal political landscape. The recent Prime Minister, Yupin Shinawatra, who assumed office in August 2024, was the country's youngest-ever leader. Her tenure has been marred by protests, political instability, and accusations of naivety, especially after a leaked phone call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen.
In that conversation, Shinawatra was seen as overly deferential toward Hun Sen, addressing him as "uncle" and promising to address his interests. Her outspoken criticism of the military commander during the border crisis drew ire from the armed forces, which hold significant sway in Thai politics and are deeply intertwined with the monarchy. Public backlash and protests erupted sharply, demanding her resignation, and culminated in the Thai constitutional court suspending her in July 2024—a move that further destabilized the government.
These political tensions divert attention from broader geopolitical issues but also complicate responses to the border conflict. The weak civilian government, combined with a powerful military, creates a volatile environment where quick escalation or even coups become plausible.
Across the border, Cambodia's political landscape is dominated by Prime Minister Hun Manet, the son of long-time leader Hun Sen. Cambodia's economy struggles amid limited growth, and Hun Manet’s leadership continues to rely on nationalist rhetoric to shore up domestic support. His government’s stance toward the border dispute has been characterized by defiance, with recent decisions like announcing a military conscription law set to take effect in 2026—adding another layer of military readiness amidst ongoing conflicts.
Cambodia’s approach appears driven by a desire to burnish nationalist credentials and rally support around the contested territory. Despite legal rulings favoring Cambodia’s sovereignty, the government remains steadfast in its claims and appears willing to escalate further if necessary.
The situation intensified drastically in July 2025. The immediate trigger was a landmine explosion injuring five Thai soldiers on July 14th. Bangkok responded by sealing the border, leading to renewed clashes around Preah Vihear. Heavy shelling followed, including attacks on civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and gas stations. As casualties mounted, both sides blamed each other, but reports confirm that civilian casualties are mounting rapidly— with at least 11 civilians killed across Thai provinces and thousands evacuated from danger zones.
Cambodia’s military has been more assertive, with Prime Minister Hun Manet declaring that Cambodia would respond with force against what he termed "armed aggression." Notably, Cambodian forces have begun to enforce military conscription, a move that signals a readiness to escalate further if provoked.
On the Thai side, aircraft including F-16 fighters have been deployed in response to the conflict, highlighting the asymmetry in military capabilities. While Thailand possesses a sizeable air force, Cambodia’s military strength remains comparatively limited, making a large-scale war perilous for both sides.
The dispute risks broader regional involvement, with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) traditionally aiming to prevent conflicts among its members. However, ASEAN's effectiveness has often been limited, particularly in conflicts like the ongoing crisis in Myanmar. The current situation in Thailand and Cambodia presents a test for regional diplomacy.
The potential for further escalation raises concerns about a wider regional conflict, especially given the intertwined political and military interests of each side. The fragile political states—Thailand’s divided government and Cambodia’s nationalist leadership—add uncertainty to the prospects for de-escalation.
As of now, the border clashes continue, with heavy fighting and civilian casualties. Despite a natural tendency toward diplomatic resolution, the current climate of nationalism, political instability, and military readiness suggests that de-escalation is not guaranteed. The confrontation over Preah Vihear and surrounding territories reflects deep-seated historical grievances and contemporary political vulnerabilities.
The question remains whether cooler heads will prevail or if this crisis will spiral into a larger, more devastating conflict. One thing is clear: the calm of Southeast Asia’s scenic landscapes has been temporarily replaced by the grim reality of war, underscoring how fragile peace can be even in regions with long histories of tension. The international community and regional actors must act decisively to prevent a wider regional conflict, but the path forward remains uncertain amidst rising hostilities and political turmoil.
Mastering DeFi Investing: The Essential Playbook for Success
In the rapidly evolving world of decentralized finance (DeFi), having a clear and methodical approach is crucial for building wealth and mitigating risk. Recently, a seasoned DeFi investor shared an extensive playbook—detailing the core principles and advanced strategies that have helped him maximize returns while safeguarding capital. This article distills those insights into a comprehensive guide designed to fast-track your success in DeFi investment.
The Framework: A Structured Roadmap for DeFi Success
The speaker emphasizes the importance of following a disciplined process, which he refers to as the DeFi Formula Boot Camp. The program is divided into specific phases, each focusing on different facets of portfolio building and management:
Blueprint Phase (Monday): Establishes your overall strategy and goals.
Construct Phase (Tuesday): Builds the infrastructure and selects assets.
Liquidity pools offer high yields but come with significant risks, especially divergence loss. The general rule is to allocate no more than 50% of your capital to LP strategies, paired with the other 50% in holding or lending activities. Overconcentration can lead to severe portfolio damage if the pool performs poorly.
2. Leverage Prudently
Borrowing against assets is a powerful tool. For example, borrowing 40% against Ethereum or BTC and deploying that borrowed capital into LPs can amplify returns. A hypothetical scenario shows a $40,000 loan at 40% loan-to-value yielding 100% APR, which can generate over $3,300 monthly. However, leveraging adds complexity and risk, so it's recommended only for confident, strategic investors.
Rather than chasing hype or price speculation, the strategy is to evaluate assets based on the revenue they generate and their ecosystem integration. The approach looks at assets like companies: if an asset produces consistent revenue and ties back into its ecosystem, it’s a preferable investment.
4. Simulate and Backtest Rigorously
Tools like Metrics Finance enable scenario analysis—testing how assets perform under various market conditions. By simulating price movements, divergences, and correlation breaks, investors can identify potential risks beforehand. This proactive approach prevents surprises and boosts confidence in investment choices.
Contrary to popular belief, technical analysis (TA) is often overhyped in DeFi. Its effectiveness hinges on the collective belief that prices are predictable based on past trends, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy. The speaker advocates analyzing trends rather than relying on complex TA. In liquidity provision, you are more influenced by how many tokens or assets are in the pool rather than TA-based price predictions.
6. Perform Test Deposits and Withdrawals
Always test with small amounts when using new platforms or assets. For instance, deposit a dollar first and confirm its receipt before deploying larger sums. This minimizes the risk of errors, exploits, or technical glitches leading to significant losses.
Start with small deployments—like 10% of your capital—and gradually increase your exposure as you verify performance. This incremental approach allows for learning and adjustment, protecting your assets from large missteps.
8. Avoid Trading on Centralized Exchanges
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) offer lower fees and greater control. Buying USDC or USDT via Coinbase or similar platforms and then transferring to DeFi reduces costs significantly compared to buying directly on centralized exchanges with high fees.
Active oversight is essential. Check your positions weekly or biweekly to ensure they remain within desired ranges and are not exposed to unexpected risks. Rebalancing may be necessary to adapt to market changes, especially in volatile DeFi environments.
10. Opt for Broader Ranges in Liquidity Provision
Tighter liquidity ranges promise higher APRs but are often poorly managed by novice users, which can lead to capital loss. Broader ranges tend to be more profitable overall because they reduce the risk of improper management, allowing the investor to earn a steadier income over time.
Maintain a dashboard that offers real-time insights into your portfolio. This transparency allows you to make informed decisions — akin to how businesses track revenues, expenses, and growth metrics—especially important in volatile DeFi sectors.
12. Reinvest Earnings Through a "Flywheel" System
The strategy involves continuously reinvesting profits to compound growth. The DeFi Flywheel leverages the concept of growing your position without necessarily adding fresh capital—by harvesting gains and redeploying them into your portfolio. During bull markets, this builds up your assets, and in bear markets, shifting to market-neutral positions preserves gains and reduces risk.
The key takeaway from this DeFi playbook is disciplined, calculated investing combined with rigorous analysis and active management. Avoiding common pitfalls—such as overexposure, unchecked leverage, or neglecting data—can dramatically improve your chances of success.
The speaker highlights that their team continually refines these strategies through ongoing education, data analysis, and practical testing. Upcoming boot camps and tools like the DeFi Flywheel Calculator make it easier for investors to implement these principles at scale.
In essence, success in DeFi is less about chasing after the hottest new project and more about adhering to a proven, systematic approach that emphasizes risk mitigation, revenue generation, and strategic reinvestment. As the DeFi landscape matures, those who follow disciplined playbooks will be best positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead.
The Global Experiment of Begging for Bitcoin: A Day of Microtransactions and Human Connection
An Unconventional Quest to Showcase Bitcoin’s Power
In a world where digital currencies are constantly evolving, one user embarked on a unique experiment to demonstrate the incredible power of Bitcoin and its lightning-fast transaction capabilities. The mission? To beg strangers around the globe for small amounts of Bitcoin to fund everyday needs like coffee, lunch, and even a phone cable. Through a series of spontaneous interactions and live transactions, this venture aimed to highlight how Bitcoin’s peer-to-peer network can bridge vast distances instantly and almost effortlessly.
The journey began with an unusual approach—standing in public spaces and requesting Bitcoin donations. The user humorously struggled with initial attempts, unsure if the concept was effective, but soon decided to take a more deliberate route. The first successful interaction occurred at a coffee shop, where the user via smartphone scanned a QR code and paid immediately in Bitcoin using the Lightning Network. The vendor accepted Bitcoin seamlessly, showcasing how traditional businesses are gradually warming up to this decentralized digital currency.
The innovative aspect of the experiment was to combine social media with real-time cryptocurrency transactions. After paying for the coffee, the user posted the QR code on Twitter with a plea for Bitcoin, inviting strangers worldwide to participate. Miraculously, someone from Vietnam responded almost instantly and bought a coffee remotely. The user documented this transaction, emphasizing how Bitcoin allows for instant cross-border payments that would be impossible with fiat currencies due to bank fees and delays.
This interaction was not just convenient but emotionally resonant. The Vietnamese donor highlighted Bitcoin as peer-to-peer digital cash empowering individuals by circumventing traditional financial systems. He described Bitcoin as “what the internet did to information”—a transformative force redistributing financial control directly into users’ hands.
Throughout the day, several more strangers from different countries—ranging from the Netherlands to Switzerland—participated in this spontaneous generosity. Each time, a new QR code was posted, and within minutes, someone else paid, often explaining their motivation. For instance, a Dutch participant shared that their Bitcoin transactions stem from a desire to explore the future of money and hand control back to the people. Similarly, a Swiss user voiced that Bitcoin offers freedom and transparency, especially in a country where financial systems are more rigid.
The user marveled at the speed and minimal fees of the Lightning Network, which facilitated these global micropayments. Sending and receiving satoshis (the smallest Bitcoin units) became a seamless, day-long adventure, illustrating Bitcoin’s potential to revolutionize microtransactions, remittances, and everyday exchanges.
What started as a simple experiment grew into emotional exchanges, with each elderly or random individual acknowledging the act of generosity. When a stranger in the Netherlands bought the user lunch, the recipient was moved and questioned why someone so far away would do such a thing. The stranger explained that he was a Bitcoin enthusiast who had traded $1 in Bitcoin across every country in the world earlier and wanted to see the network in action.
One of the most delightful surprises was when a cryptographer in Medara, Switzerland, randomly gifted Bitcoin via the Lightning Network. His motivation was rooted in the belief that Bitcoin would bring honesty, freedom, and better financial systems—values he hoped would create a better world. Such moments reinforced the idea that Bitcoin is more than just technology; it’s a tool fostering human connection and shared ideals.
As the day progressed, technical challenges emerged—mainly the need to keep the phone charged. The user resorted to more beg-and-pay strategies, asking local shops if they would accept Bitcoin for a cable, which they did via QR codes. Each transaction proved the practicality of Bitcoin for everyday needs beyond mere investment or savings. The endeavor also demonstrated how decentralized platforms like Nosta, a community-driven social network similar to Twitter, can host such live transactions without censorship.
The experiment underscored Bitcoin’s unique ability: bridging distances that would take hours or days and bypassing traditional banking systems’ barriers and fees. Whether paying for a coffee in Vietnam or a phone cable in Switzerland, the user illustrated that Bitcoin, particularly with the Lightning Network, is a catalyst for instant, borderless, micro-payments. These microtransactions not only fulfill minor needs but also build a new kind of global human connectivity.
This spontaneous day of begging on Bitcoin served as a powerful proof of concept. It highlighted that with minimal infrastructure—just a smartphone and internet access—strangers can connect and exchange value instantly regardless of location. The experiment challenged the notion that money must be centralized and controlled, showcasing Bitcoin as an empowering tool for financial sovereignty.
In the next part of this ongoing adventure, the user intends to push the boundaries further—begging for more significant expenses, exploring how Bitcoin can facilitate more complex transactions like buying drugs or expensive items. But the core message remains clear: Bitcoin’s true potential lies in its ability to create a freer, more inclusive global economy, one satoshi at a time.
Japan suffers from having been the best in many things. There is no innovation or self determination here because everyone has become too content with the status quo but it is deteriorating.
People blame the birth rate but that’s just a symptom of having no dreams, the system is too powerful and too stagnant.
Not a bad place to be, but I can’t imagine it remaining nearly as good as it is unless people start to say fuck working for a boss, which….would take at least another 10 years, probably 30
The most successful founders often possess the tireless drive of someone who once had nothing and recalls when others doubted them, working as if that doubt still exists.
Many end up using their savings in their later years fighting illness, whereas investing in health earlier could have made a difference. It’s important to prioritize exercise, healthy eating, and proper rest.
I generally am in favor of less regulation but I don't understand why people who want more regulation don't focus on landlords and de-incentivizing investment housing.
If your focus is on providing everyone with basic needs, you want to make houses as affordable as possible, not through government aid which leads to inflation, but through a more competitive market. Landlords and developers don't need to compete when their investment is guaranteed to rise in value.
🧵/2. In this post, I have shared my favorite card combo from the life splinter team also there are some extra tips for you so wanna learn this strategy then must check the post.
Well spotted! I think it has been in the cards for a little while.
I can't say if we will see further drop, the tendency of governments, companies etc makes it very difficult to predict how far down we could drop.
I am all for getting rid of whatever taxes you can get rid of. The one tax I'd like to increase is property tax on people who have more than two or three residencies. And get rid of property tax on your primary residence if you own it cause it's absurd that you should owe the government anything on that.
One of the reasons I support the idea of bitcoin as hard money is that it can lead to a controlled demolition of the housing market. Let people who want to earn money on investments put it somewhere that doesn't raise the cost of living and may actually lower it. The primary function of houses should be to live in them.
Let's be honest, if you live in an apartment and you find the wall is thin enough to hear your neighbor when you put your ear up to it, are you gonna try to listen (Even for a few seconds)?
There was a time when discussing psychedelics felt provocative. Today, federal funds support research on their effects in mice, and human clinical trials have both concluded and are in progress.
Conversations around psilocybin focus on its potential benefits for longevity. MDMA and ibogaine are expected to receive FDA approval in the near future. The landscape has transformed significantly.
Just made a post talking about the process I am trying to start with myself.
Realizing no one cares, and therefor I need to be in charge is both scary and empowering.
The ideal sleep schedule when you're not working: sleep from 8am to 5pm. Rest when others start their day, wake up by 5pm, join friends for what's essentially breakfast after their work, and then begin activities. When they head to bed, you game, then go to sleep again as they start their day.
Usually just zoning out or doing random stuff around the house. It's a weird gap where I'm not super productive, just kinda existing til the day really starts for me
Haha, Italo Westerns in bed sound like a solid swap for doom scrolling. Might have to try something similar—maybe old sci-fi flicks to wind down before midnight.
Thanks for the link! Gonna check out some of those Italo Westerns for sure. Switching to movies instead of scrolling is a smart move for winding down before midnight.

I will say it again tokenomics in gaming is a dead end.
Don’t kill our games movement proves true ownership is the #1 issue for players.
Change the model from "play to earn" to "play and earn". Games should be fun first and put earnings/tokens in second priority.
there should never be tokens in a game.

ITSSSSSSSSS FRIDAY! 💨
Another old LEO stakeholder just finished selling all their LEO
Keep tagging those richlist folks!
I think at this point, we should just start tagging everyone. If they're loyal to $LEO, they'll just hodl
If they're not, they will sell
If they are loyal, they may even decide to sell some thinking its a good time to take profits
Right now, the SIRP, POL and LSTR cannot buy enough LEO. There's less than 30M total tokens and a lot of them are held by inactive hands. We want to put all LEO into action
Old stakeholders selling, new entities accumulating. Interesting dynamics. Let's see how it plays out.
Nice point of view.
Loyal lions stay with their pride.
That's it.
POL?
protocol owned leo
fancy stuff :)
LEO still keeps it's price and not correcting. It shows the strength of the token and the community behind it.
In the long-term view, it's good. I think if they don't like $LEO but hold a large quantity of $LEO, it would be like a ticking time bomb for us. The earlier they leave, the better it is for us.
Out with the old, in with the new 🦁👊
Challenges exist for a reason. If everything was simple, competition would vanish, and without competition, there'd be no victors. Embrace difficulty, as overcoming it ultimately simplifies life.

1/🧵there are so many conspiracies surrounding the concept of vaccination. What are the craziest theories you have heard about getting vaccinated?
#outreach #threadstorm
That injecting mercury and aluminium was good for your immune system.
2/🧵Vaccines are very important, and we should not joke with them. Most times when there is disease in the air, the World Health Organisation [WHO], in collaboration with the government, will instruct the health practitioners to move around and immunise the kids from 0 to 5 years old. They will go from house to house, from school to school, and from church to church. Don’t allow anyone to tell you that vaccines are not important; they help to fight many diseases. Don’t ever joke about vaccines. Immunise your child for your own good. There is this popular saying, Prevention is better than a curse. Instead of saying no to vaccines, join and create awareness to educate and enlighten people about why vaccines are important.

NOW WATCHING - Season 1 Episode 1
It's awesome!
I am free now
Do you recommend it?
I just start watching, its very Interstellar though, looks cool
I just started it myself. Only 3 or 4 episodes in. So far, so good. No spoilers... 😀
Too bad I don't have Apple TV. Already have three streaming services.
Now these books I have read. Still like to read them again before watching this series though. It's been a while.
The aspiration of owning a home is increasingly elusive for those in their 20s and 30s. The typical age of homebuyers is now 56, a rise from 49 in 2023.
First-time homebuyers are also older, with the median age hitting a new high of 38, up from 35 in 2023.
This is kinda sad.
It's really tough to see that dream slipping further away for so many. Economic shifts and rising costs are hitting younger generations hard.

After watching the first episode of Foundation got to say its very very Interstellar , interesting fact Nolan was going to produce it with HBO and then AppleTV version came out, I really enjoy it and will continue watch, might do season reviews until I catch up #skiptvads, #tvonleo, #foundation
Haven't watched the Foundation, but interested cos there's one Finnish actress there I know and would be nice to see how she performs in bigger productions like these.
First episode was way more intergalactic than Andor and the script didnt feel rush so I will keep watching, it has good ratings online although not sure why its not so popular 🤷♂️
Yeah, for some reason it's been flying under the radar
Certainly agree with that point!

23 is my score
Gold vs BTC.
I think you mean gold right? 😅
Interesting stats, digital gold is more and more precious...
BTC is king!
anyone who thinks the train in Tokyo is flawlessly on time…hasn’t spent a week in Tokyo. It’s like a B+ these days. Not bad, but overrated.
Compared to the Dutch rail system it is perfect. Here there is always an excuse why the train doesn’t go, or is late, plus sooo expensive.
Car ride with my family Rotterdam => Amsterdam => Rotterdam (€30 fuel + parking), train €172)
It’s always late here too. A lot of foreigners don’t realize it cause they only take Yamamote line which has a train every 2 minutes
I spent more than a week there. I can say the train system there is better than ours . Much much better 😅
it’s a lot better than New York too. But being 10 minutes late is a daily thing and people come visit and ride one line somehow think that never happens.
I think Hong Kong transportation blows Tokyo out of the water in every aspect.
Looking at last year Solana progress this year it was meant to hit 500$ but I guess it would speed up after ETF and bonds using solana.
Solana is doing well in this bull market like it did in the past ones, although I don't like its centralized nature...
Haha thats actually a good qoute! Probably one of the reasons people dont appreciate BTC to its fullest
What about holding Alts 😥
As long you are settled financially or in a good place, HODLING crypto is the next best thing.
I liked that mindset.
ETH is long time due and it was meant to come after BTC and so does solana.
ETH is supposed to be my retirement plan, still waiting for new ATH on it. ;))
Where children are happy
What does skill mean in this table?
in Netherlands there is no or just one mental health 👀
Is it best with high or low score?
My country is among the blueish ones, this makes me happy about it.
This is a quite interesting board.
That will be another big push for crypto going forward.
Finding inspiration:
Life sure is unpredictable.

Part 1/7:
Baked Swedish Sausage with Apples, Onions, and Mustard: A Cozy Classic Reinvented
In this culinary journey, the chef revisits a beloved Swedish dish—ungt gratinerad falukorv (baked sausage)—with a simple yet flavorful twist. Previously prepared with Mediterranean vegetables and a tomato-based sauce, today’s version leans into traditional Swedish flavors, emphasizing two types of mustard and the natural sweetness of apples.
Embracing Simplicity and Comfort
Part 2/7:
The dish centers around a few key ingredients: falukorv (Swedish sausage), apples, onions, and a homemade mustard-based sauce. The chef begins by preparing a cold-formed sauce, mixing grädde (cream), Skånsk senap (Skåne mustard), and a couple of tablespoons each of traditional Dijon mustard and Ingrid Marie apple mustard. The mixture is seasoned with salt and black pepper, then whisked together for a smooth base.
Preparing the Vegetables
Part 3/7:
Next, the chef slices onions and apples, emphasizing a layered presentation. The onions and apples are sliced thinly to facilitate easy layering within the dish. Removing the core from the apples with a small knife ensures neat slices, and both are prepared in advance for easy assembly. The apple slices introduce a touch of sweetness that pairs beautifully with the savory sausage.
Portioning and Assembling the Sausage
The falukorv is sliced into portions suitable for serving, with a clever trick to prevent rolling—cutting a small piece off the bottom so each piece sits firmly on the plate. The sausage slices are then carefully cut in a way that doesn’t separate them entirely, allowing each portion to hold together but still be easy to eat.
Part 4/7:
Layering begins with placing onion and apple slices around and inside the sausage portions, creating a colorful and inviting presentation. The chef mentions that the leftover slices are perfect for snacking or adding more flavor.
Once assembled in a baking dish, the sausage and vegetables are topped with the mustard sauce, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. A handful of grated cheese, in this case Gruyère, is sprinkled over the top, ready to melt and form a golden crust upon baking.
Baking to Perfection
Part 5/7:
The dish is baked in a preheated oven at 225°C (about 437°F) for approximately 20–25 minutes. During baking, the cheese melts and forms a crispy layer, while the sauce simmers and thickens. The aroma of the dish is irresistible, with hints of sweet mustard and baked cheese filling the kitchen.
Serving Suggestions and Variations
After baking, the dish is plated alongside classic sides such as potatoes or rice. The chef recommends serving with extra sauce and a sprinkle of fresh greens for color and freshness. Portioning the dish into individual servings makes it easier for guests to serve themselves, avoiding the mess of slicing directly from the baking dish.
Part 6/7:
The dish’s versatility shines through—ingredients can be adjusted based on preferences or availability. The emphasis remains on the simplicity of the components: sausage, apples, onions, and mustard, which together create a warm, comforting meal.
Final Thoughts
This Swedish baked sausage recipe offers a deliciously hearty and approachable meal, ideal for cozy family dinners or entertaining guests. Its combination of sweet apples, savory sausage, aromatic mustard, and melted cheese creates a balanced and flavorful experience.
Part 7/7:
The chef concludes by encouraging viewers to enjoy this dish—that it’s very warm and tasty with minimal ingredients—highlighting its suitability for quick weekday meals or special occasions. The video ends with a reminder to subscribe for more recipes, promising more culinary adventures ahead.
In summary, this traditional Swedish dish has been elevated with simple, high-quality ingredients, delivering a comforting and flavorful experience perfect for colder days or whenever you crave hearty home-cooking.

The Science Behind Baking The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies with various Ingredients. 👇
Pick Up Limes- The BEST Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies (egg-free, dairy-free!) 🍪. #foodtalk #ChocolateChipCookies #Cookies #bestCookies #recipes #baking #scienceinbaking
!summarize
Part 1/8:
The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe: Perfectly Crunchy on the Outside, Soft on the Inside
Every home baker should have a go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe in their culinary arsenal, and this one stands out as a tried-and-true favorite. After testing dozens of variations, the creator of this recipe has mastered the ideal balance of texture and flavor, resulting in cookies that are irresistibly crunchy on the outside and delectably soft within. Along with the recipe, the video dives into the science behind each step, offering insights into why certain ingredients and techniques elevate the classic treat.
The Art of Browning Butter: Adding Depth to Flavor
Part 2/8:
The process begins with a secret step: browning butter. This involves melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it foams and develops a rich, nutty aroma. As it browns, grainy solids form at the bottom of the pan—a sign that it's ready to be taken off the heat. Browning butter adds complex, toasted flavor notes that set these cookies apart from ordinary ones.
A quick comparison reveals that using coconut oil results in greasier cookies lacking depth, while regular butter, without browning, produces a more standard flavor. Browning the butter enhances the cookie's richness, making each bite more flavorful and nuanced.
The Perfect Balance of Sugars for Texture and Flavor
Part 3/8:
A crucial component of the recipe is the combination of both brown sugar and granulated sugar. Brown sugar contributes a caramel-like sweetness and moisture due to its molasses content, resulting in a chewy, soft center. Granulated sugar, on the other hand, promotes a crisp exterior by encouraging the sugar to crystallize during baking. This dual-sugar strategy creates an ideal contrast in texture that is hallmark to a bakery-quality cookie.
Incorporating Milk and Vanilla for Moisture and Aroma
Adding a splash of milk helps keep the dough tender and moist, while vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile, imparting warm, inviting notes that complement the chocolate.
Mixing and the Importance of Ingredient Measurement
Part 4/8:
Once the browned butter has cooled slightly, it’s poured into the sugar mixture and combined with other wet ingredients. The dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt—are sifted separately to ensure even distribution, then gradually incorporated into the wet mixture.
The creator emphasizes the importance of accurate measurement, especially regarding flour. Using a kitchen scale yields the most precise results, but if measuring by cups, gently spoon flour into the cup and level it off to avoid packing it down, which can lead to overly dense cookies.
The Chocolate: Big Chunks for Maximum Melty Pleasure
Part 5/8:
Instead of pre-made chocolate chips, the recipe advocates chopping dark chocolate into large, satisfying chunks. This approach creates luscious melty pools of chocolate in every bite, elevating the cookie experience. Once mixed into the dough, the chocolate chunks are just folded in—overmixing can affect the texture.
Chilling the Dough: A Key to Perfect Cookies
Refrigerating the dough for exactly one hour is a pivotal step. The process solidifies the fats, preventing the cookies from spreading excessively during baking—a common issue that results in pancake-like cookies rather than those with a lovely, bakery-style appearance. An experiment with unchilled dough confirms that skipping this step leads to overly spread-out, flatter cookies.
Baking to Perfection
Part 6/8:
Using an ice cream scoop for uniform cookies ensures consistent sizes, and spacing them adequately on a lined baking sheet prevents merging during baking. Baking at 350°F (180°C) for 13–14 minutes, until golden, produces that signature crisp exterior and tender interior.
For an aesthetic touch, you can press a couple of chocolate chunks on top of each cookie before baking for a lovely presentation. After baking, a simple trick involves placing an upside-down cup over the hot cookies and giving it a gentle shimmy; this shapes them into perfect circles, adding to the bakery-style look.
Finishing Touches: Flaky Sea Salt
Part 7/8:
While the cookies are still warm, sprinkling a pinch of flaky sea salt enhances the chocolate flavor and contributes a savory contrast that elevates each bite. The cookies are then allowed to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
The Result: The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
The final product is an exemplary cookie—crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, with complex flavors stemming from the browned butter and melty, large chocolate chunks. The combination of textures and flavors makes these cookies a definitive favorite for any occasion.
Additional Resources and Baking Tips
Part 8/8:
The full recipe is available on the creator's website, with both metric and imperial measurements. Readers are encouraged to use precise methods, especially when measuring ingredients, and to refrigerate the dough to achieve optimal results.

Part 1/8:
Delicious Summer Potato Salads: Three Unique Recipes to Try
Potato salads evoke feelings of comfort and wholesomeness, making them a perfect addition to any summer table. Today, we're exploring three different versions, each with its own distinct flavor profile: one with a crunchy and creamy twist, another featuring a vibrant homemade herb pesto, and the third celebrating zesty, fresh flavors. These recipes are sure to become favorites for your sunny gatherings.
The Viral Smashed Potato Salad: Crunchy, Creamy, and Flavorful
Preparing the Potatoes
The process begins with heavily salting a pot of cold water—an essential step to infuse the potatoes with flavor from the inside out. Baby potatoes are added and cooked for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
Part 2/8:
Creating the Spiced Oil
While the potatoes cook, a spiced oil is prepared by mixing olive oil with ground cumin, onion powder, paprika, and salt. This aromatic mixture will later be used to flavor the crispy smashed potatoes.
Smash and Bake
Once cooked and drained, the potatoes are dried and placed on a lined baking tray. Using a cup with parchment paper underneath prevents sticking and makes smashing easier and cleaner. The potatoes are gently flattened, brushed with some of the spicy oil, and baked at 430°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes. They are flipped, coated with the remaining oil, and baked for another 20–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
The Creamy Dressing & Veggie Mix
Part 3/8:
Meanwhile, a creamy dressing is whipped up with unsweetened soy yogurt, vegan mayo, lemon juice, crushed garlic, Dijon mustard, agave syrup, and a pinch of salt. Fresh chopped cucumber, minced red onion, parsley, and dill are added to the dressing for freshness.
Assemble
Once the potatoes are crispy and cooled enough to handle, they're crushed into the salad and tossed thoroughly with the dressing and herbs. The result? A crunchy, creamy potato salad that's utterly satisfying and packed with flavor.
Herb-Pesto Potato Salad: Fresh, Flavorful, & Beautiful
Baking the Potatoes and Beans
Part 4/8:
For this vibrant salad, colorful baby potatoes are quartered and roasted with butterbeans, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper at 430°F (220°C). Keeping the beans on separate trays helps them crisp up rather than steam.
Homemade Pesto
Meanwhile, a homemade pesto is crafted by toasted walnuts and pine nuts, which are blended with lemon zest, lemon juice, basil, arugula, olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic, and salt. Toasted nuts provide a richer flavor, but pre-roasted ones can be substituted for convenience.
Vegetable Prep & Combining
Part 5/8:
A variety of vegetables like green onions, radishes, cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, and the reserved lemon zest are prepared. Once the potatoes and beans are cooked and slightly cooled, they are combined in a bowl with the pesto and chopped veggies, creating a vibrant, herbaceous salad.
Garnish & Taste
To finish, more arugula is stirred in, and the salad is garnished with additional herbs. This pesto-based potato salad is both visually stunning and bursting with fresh flavors, making it ideal for summer picnics.
Tangy and Zesty Potato Salad: A Refreshing Summery Twist
Cooking the Potatoes
Baby potatoes are halved and boiled in heavily salted water until easily pierced with a fork, then drained and cooled slightly.
Crafting the Tangy Dressing
Part 6/8:
While that's happening, a lively dressing is prepared with olive oil, red wine vinegar, milder Harissa sauce, pomegranate molasses, maple syrup, and a blend of spices including turmeric, cumin, and sumac. This combination delivers a gentle heat and depth of tanginess.
Assembling the Salad
The cooked potatoes are added to a large bowl with chopped cucumber, red onion, dried apricots, fresh dill, parsley, and preserved lemon slices (or lemon zest if unavailable). The dressing is poured over, and everything is mixed well, creating a crisp and flavorful salad.
Final Touch
Part 7/8:
For added crunch, chopped roasted pistachios are sprinkled on top, enhancing both texture and flavor. Garnished with extra herbs, this salad perfectly captures a bright, zesty essence that’s perfect for summer meals.
Conclusion: Three Unique Potato Salads to Elevate Your Summer Menu
Each of these recipes offers a different take on the beloved potato salad, from crispy smashed potatoes to herbaceous pesto-infused goodness and zesty, tangy freshness. They are versatile, flavorful, and full of summertime spirit.

Part 1/7:
Mastering Flavorful Pasta: The Science and Art Behind Perfectly Cooked Dishes
Creating flavorful pasta is both an art and a science, and one key factor often overlooked is the temperature of the water used during cooking. This understanding becomes the foundation for a series of delicious, innovative recipes that elevate traditional Italian dishes into plant-based masterpieces.
The Importance of Water Temperature in Pasta Cooking
Part 2/7:
The concept of adding salt to boiling water rings true across culinary traditions. Salted water forms a crucial step toward enhancing the flavor of pasta. When discussing the science of starches, the video demonstrates that the temperature at which cornstarch is mixed with water significantly impacts the final sauce. Whisking cornstarch into cold water results in a smooth, lump-free slurry that, when heated, thickens uniformly. Conversely, adding cornstarch directly to hot water causes molecules to rapidly expand and stick together, creating lumps. This simple but critical tip emphasizes the importance of preparing starch slurries with cold liquids before applying heat to achieve desirable texture in sauces.
Plant-Based Carbonara: A Creative Twist
Part 3/7:
The first recipe explores a plant-based take on the classic Italian spaghetti carbonara. Traditional carbonara relies on guanciale, a cured pork cheek, but this version replaces it with homemade smoky tofu bacon, capturing the smoky, umami-rich essence of the original.
Making Smoky Tofu Bacon
The marinade for the tofu bacon involves soy sauce for umami, dark soy for depth, maple syrup for balance, vegetable oil, black pepper, dried thyme, garlic powder, and a dash of liquid smoke—essential for imparting that authentic smoky flavor. The pressed tofu is cut into small pieces, coated with this marinade, and baked at 390°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until crispy.
Cooking the Pasta and Sauce
Part 4/7:
Meanwhile, the pasta is cooked in heavily salted boiling water—another critical step—until it reaches al dente. The sauce is made by creating a cornstarch slurry in cold water, which is then heated gently with nutritional yeast, vegan butter, garlic powder, turmeric, and salt to develop a creamy, golden carbonara sauce.
The seasoning is vital; freshly ground black pepper provides the signature heat and aroma, while black salt (kala namak) adds an eggy flavor that mimics traditional eggs, essential for authentic taste. Tossing the cooked pasta in this sauce coats it beautifully, and serving is topped with the smoky tofu bits, vegan Parmesan, a sprinkle of black salt, and black pepper for a satisfying finish.
Vegan Parmesan at Home
Part 5/7:
A quick recipe for vegan Parmesan involves blending lightly roasted cashews with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. This simple addition adds an extra layer of cheesy flavor and is perfect for sprinkling over pasta and salads.
Tomato Red Pesto: A Deliciously Simple Sauce
The second dish features a vibrant tomato red pesto, assembled with just a handful of ingredients—shallot, garlic, canned whole tomatoes, red pesto, and vegan cream cheese.
Building the Sauce
Sautéing shallot and garlic until golden sets the flavor base, then adding canned tomatoes and red pesto creates a rich, flavorful sauce. Blending in vegan cream cheese, a pinch of salt, and black pepper results in a smooth, creamy pesto that perfectly coats the pasta.
Cooking and Serving the Noil
Part 6/7:
The pasta, referred to as "noi," is boiled until it floats, indicating it's cooked perfectly. For added texture and flavor, the cooked noi can be pan-fried until golden on the outside. Finishing touches include a squeeze of lemon juice, vegan Parmesan, and fresh basil slices, resulting in a colorful, fragrant dish.
Conclusion: Embracing Science and Creativity in Plant-Based Cooking
These recipes illustrate that understanding key principles such as water temperature and seasoning can dramatically influence the outcome of your dishes. Whether it's making smoky tofu bacon for a plant-based carbonara or blending a silky tomato pesto, each step is thoughtfully designed to maximize flavor and texture.

Elevate Your Lunch Game: Delicious Recipes to Try Today
Making a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch might be a timeless classic, but why settle for ordinary when you can create something truly extraordinary? Today, we're diving into two vibrant, flavor-packed recipes that will not only impress your taste buds but also elevate your midday meal. Get ready to learn how to make a mouthwatering Japanese-inspired yakisoba noodle dish and a colorful barbecue tofu wrap — perfect for lunch or dinner.
Japanese Yakisoba: A Flavorful Noodle Delight
Part 2/7:
Yakisoba, which translates directly to "fried noodles" in Japanese, is a beloved street-food classic known for its savory, slightly sweet taste and versatile ingredients. The dish is characterized by its hearty mix of vegetables, noodles, and a rich sauce, making it a satisfying meal in every bite.
What Makes Yakisoba Special?
The star of yakisoba is the wheat-based noodles, which can be found dry or pre-cooked. They're often golden in color due to natural minerals used in their production, not eggs. If yakisoba noodles aren't available, similar options like ramen or even spaghetti can be substituted, offering flexibility for home cooks.
Preparing the Perfect Noodles and Sauce
Part 3/7:
While the noodles cook, prepare a homemade yakisoba sauce by combining mushroom stir-fry sauce (a plant-based alternative to oyster sauce), reduced-sodium soy sauce, ketchup, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of brown sugar. This blend creates that signature salty-sweet flavor punch loved in traditional recipes.
Protein and Vegetables: Building the Dish
Plant-based chicken pieces are cooked until golden, then set aside. The noodles are fried briefly to develop a lightly crunchy exterior, then combined with sautéed shiitake mushrooms and a colorful mix of onion, carrot, and cabbage. Returning the noodles and protein to the pan, you add green onions and pour over the sauce, stirring gently to coat everything evenly.
Presentation and Serving Tips
Part 4/7:
Traditionally, yakisoba is garnished with pickled ginger for a tangy contrast, and in this rendition, a sprinkle of seasoning adds extra flavor. Serve hot, garnished beautifully for presentation or packed into containers for leftovers — they keep well in the fridge for a few days.
Colorful BBQ Tofu Wraps: A Plant-Based Marvel
Switching gears, the second recipe takes us into the realm of hearty, colorful wraps that are both delicious and visually appealing.
Cooking the Base
Start by cooking rice according to package instructions. Recognizing its carb-rich nature, the recipe embraces the "carbs on carbs" philosophy, but for a lighter alternative, you can swap rice for avocado slices.
Making the Flavorful Sauce
Part 5/7:
Create a simple but tasty chipotle mayo by mixing vegan mayonnaise with chipotle sauce. This spicy, smoky sauce adds a punch to every bite.
Preparing the Tofu
Firm tofu is grated into chunky shreds, then sautéed with garlic and smoked paprika until lightly crispy. A splash of barbecue sauce is added to give it a smoky, caramelized flavor, perfect for wrapping.
Assembling the Wraps
Layer rice, the saucy tofu, and fresh crunchy vegetables like spinach, shredded cabbage, and corn in a large tortilla. For added taste and texture, green onions can be included. Spread the chipotle mayo directly into the wrap or serve it on the side. Rolling and optionally toasting the wraps in a grill pan yields a satisfying crunch and helps hold everything together.
Part 6/7:
Making the Most of Your Meal
These recipes are not only delicious but also flexible. For on-the-go lunches, simply pack the yakisoba in containers; it stores well and re-heats beautifully. The tofu wraps are equally portable, and a quick toast elevates their texture.

The development is ongoing, so there's no need to worry. It's a complex system in operation, and perfecting the code takes time.
The focus for the base level is on stability, incorporating more chains and paths, while the application layer prioritizes new functions and enhanced user experience.
Moving forward:
Here's a rough outline:
There's no need to incentivize established pools' liquidity. Most revenues should go toward buyback and burn dividends. Adjustments can be made to incentivize fees in new pools requiring support.
This plan was crafted following the Thorfi collapse, as special interests prevailed, retaining flawed economic design elements. Progress is being made, but removing ineffective components is essential for long-term success.

The 10K to 1 Million Crypto Challenge: Strategies, Insights, and Top Picks for the Next Alt Season
As the crypto ecosystem prepares for what many analysts predict will be a historic altcoin season later this year, a seasoned trader is sharing his comprehensive plan to potentially turn an initial $10,000 investment into over $1 million. Reflecting on his past success—where he turned $40,000 into over a million during the last cycle—he is now aiming for similar explosive gains, but with a more modest starting capital and a focused portfolio of small-cap tokens.
The Macro Environment and Why Conditions Are Ripe for an Alt Season
Part 2/16:
The foundation of this ambitious strategy lies in understanding macroeconomic conditions that historically trigger major altcoin rallies. The analyst emphasizes that previous significant cycles—2013, 2017, and 2021—were driven by surges in global liquidity. With macro factors lining up now, he anticipates an upcoming alt season around October 2025, driven by a series of geopolitical and economic factors.
Liquidity and Federal Reserve Policies
Part 3/16:
One key driver is the ongoing rebuild of the "TGA" (Treasury General Account), which acts as a liquidity vacuum that is poised to release funds into the markets. Additionally, markets are increasingly pricing in the first rate cut by the Federal Reserve slated for September, promising to loosen credit and increase liquidity. The broader trend of global M2 money supply growth, though sluggish since 2021, shows signs of a sustained uptick into 2026—fueling risk-on assets like altcoins.
Dollar Weakening and US Economic Policies
Part 4/16:
A weakening dollar pegs to the potential loosening of monetary policy. The current administration’s plans—including deregulation, rate cuts, and efforts to run the economy hot—are set to stimulate liquidity. Notably, the impending departure of Fed Chair Jerome Powell in 2026 allows for potential policy shifts favorable to risk assets if Trump or allies shape the next leadership, prioritizing aggressive rate cuts and possibly ending quantitative tightening (QT).
Regulatory and Institutional Developments
Part 5/16:
Further bolstering the crypto outlook are recent legislative and regulatory developments. The passage of the Stablecoin Act, which clarifies crypto regulations, and the Clarity Act, expected later this year, are both highly bullish. The SEC’s fostering of innovation in the crypto space—deregulating and enabling broader adoption—adds to the narrative.
Lastly, the flow of trillions into traditional asset management giants like BlackRock and Nvidia emphasizes that the general liquidity tide is turning positive for risky assets, including cryptocurrencies and their underlying projects.
The Power of Liquidity and Market Cycles in Crypto
Part 6/16:
Interestingly, despite the macro's influence, the crypto-specific environment now sees significant institutional and retail interest. The analyst highlights that the overall crypto market is around $4 trillion in valuation, but major traditional players such as BlackRock and Nvidia hold assets surpassing this total. This indicates that liquidity—rather than just token-specific fundamentals—is the main engine.
While 2021's massive run was fueled by a historic liquidity surge, we're now observing early signs of sustained liquidity growth coming from multiple sources, including dollar weakening and policy shifts. This confluence could spark an alt season even if overall crypto market cap doesn’t reach previous cycle highs—by feeding more liquidity into smaller, high-growth tokens.
Part 7/16:
Why Focus on Tiny Cap Tokens?
Achieving a 100x return (from $10,000 to over $1 million) requires high-risk, high-reward bets. The analyst emphasizes that large-cap tokens are unlikely to provide such outsized gains, thus he is focusing solely on small-cap tokens—those with tiny market caps and exponential upside potential.
He outlines a strategic approach: identify high-conviction, high-upside tokens that can realistically reach multi-billion dollar valuations during a bull market, driven by fundamental developments, narrative shifts, and liquidity influx.
The Seven Tokens in the Portfolio
Here's a detailed look into the specific tokens selected for this ultra-aggressive portfolio, each chosen for their innovative potential, market position, and upside:
Part 8/16:
1. Una (Yunagi) — AI & Gaming Innovator
Market Cap: Just under $10 million
Why: Originally a gaming project by ex-Ubisoft executives, Yunagi has pivoted into AI entertainment, launching AI agents and generative platforms.

Bull Thesis: If their AI products deliver at scale, reaching a $100 billion valuation (which is plausible for big AI projects in the coming years) would yield a 10x or even 100x from current levels.
Investment: $2,000
2. AVO — AI Asset Management via Autonomous Agents
Part 9/16:
Why: Building AI agents that manage user assets—like wallet trackers, influencer trackers, and index management—AVO aims to democratize trading strategies and capitalize on nascent AI finance tools.
Bull Thesis: With plans to simplify launching new agents and sharing fees, AVO can catalyze a flywheel that attracts users and creators, pushing its market cap toward $140 million for a 100x.
Investment: $2,000
3. Winner — On-Chain Gambling Platform
Market Cap: Approximately $2.6 million
Why: A renewably built decentralized casino infrastructure, Winner taps into the billion-dollar online gambling industry, which is poised for growth to $200 billion annually.
Part 10/16:
Unique: A product with real adoption and revenue, with ongoing development and plans for token buybacks and burns.
Bull Thesis: If the ecosystem catches wind during all-season hype, the token could reach $260 million market cap—$100x potential.
Investment: $1,000
4. GeoNet — Precision GPS for Robotics
Market Cap: Around $51 million
Why: Unlike typical crypto projects, GeoNet addresses real-world hardware with a proprietary mesh of GPS miners, offering millimeter-precision location services outside the crypto realm.
Opportunity: As robotics and autonomous vehicles grow, the demand for such high-precision GPS is likely to explode, potentially pushing its valuation into the billions.
Part 11/16:
Bull Thesis: $5 billion market cap (~100x) makes it a high-reward hardware-forward bet.
Investment: $1,000
5. Soul Forge Fusion — Blockchain Card Game
Market Cap: About $4.4 million
Why: Developed by the creator of Magic: The Gathering, this NFT-based trading card game appeals to gamers and collectors alike. Past comparable projects hit billion-dollar valuations.
Potential: Reaching a $400 million market cap (roughly 100x) during a strong alt season remains plausible.
Investment: $1,000
6. Researchcoin (RSC) — AI-Driven Scientific Research Platform
Part 12/16:
Why: Founded by Coinbase co-founder Brian Armstrong, it taps into scientific research, AI peer reviews, and the trillion-dollar industry of scientific funding.
Narrative Power: The association with Armstrong fuels virality; combined with growing interest in decentralized research and AI, it could see explosive growth.
Bull Thesis: A 100x move into the billions during a bull run isn’t off the table.
Investment: $1,000
7. Virus Token (Pandemic Labs) — Viral Game and Meme-Adjacent Asset
Market Cap: Around $3.5 billion (current valuation)
Why: From the creators of viral pandemic-themed games, the token powers highly engaging, memetic blockchain games with built-in fee and revenue mechanisms.
Part 13/16:
Why It Matters: These games generate hundreds of thousands of signups rapidly, creating a viral ecosystem with both gaming and fee revenue potential.
Bull Case: Given their track record, reaching a few hundred million to a billion in market cap is realistic, making a 100x a straightforward possibility if hype and user engagement pick up.
Investment: $1,000
The Plan: Riding the Upcoming Alt Season
The trader’s game plan is straightforward yet bold: allocate $10,000 exclusively among these tiny, high-upside tokens. The goal is to hold and actively monitor these positions, aiming for staggering gains during the anticipated alt season, which he expects to ignite around late 2025 to early 2026.
Part 14/16:
He recognizes that this approach carries enormous risk—these tokens could fail or underperform—but emphasizes that to achieve 100x gains, high risk must be accepted.
Continuous Updates and Community Engagement
In the coming weeks, the trader promises regular updates on the progress of this portfolio, tracking each token’s development, market environment, and how macro factors influence their performance. He encourages viewers to subscribe for ongoing insights, market analysis, and more high-risk, high-reward experiments.
He invites traders and investors to do their own research, stressing the importance of responsible investing. This is not financial advice, but a deeply analytical and strategic bet on the emerging macro and micro trends shaping the next crypto uptrend.
Part 15/16:
Final Thoughts: The Future of Crypto Cycles
This experiment exemplifies a calculated high-risk approach based on macroeconomic trends, narrative rotations, and innovative token fundamentals. If the macro environment aligns as predicted, this portfolio could capitalize on what might be one of the most explosive alt seasons in crypto history—potentially the start of a multi-year, multi-cycle bull run driven by liquidity, innovation, and institutional adoption.
For those willing to accept the risks, the upcoming months could be a historic opportunity to see extraordinary gains—if the stars align as the analyst believes—and diversification into tiny cap gems might yield the next crypto millionaires.

Escalation of Tensions in Southeast Asia: A Potential Regional Conflict Unfolds
A Region Known for Scenic Beauty Turns to Conflict
When thinking about Southeast Asia, images of golden sunsets, ancient temples, and pristine beaches come to mind. However, recent events have shattered this idyllic image, plunging the region into chaos and violence. On Thursday midday, scenes of civilians fleeing amid the sound of artillery shells and reports of air strikes have emerged, signaling a significant escalation in tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. As midday turned into late afternoon, these clashes vividly demonstrated a shift from a previously tense but relatively calm border region to a hot war situation with risks of spiraling further.
The Spark: A Fatal Border Encounter
Part 2/17:
The immediate cause of the recent escalation can be traced back to a single tragic incident on May 28th. An encounter between Thai and Cambodian patrols in a disputed area—located within the so-called Emerald Triangle, where the borders of Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos meet—led to violence. Instead of a passing exchange, the skirmish erupted into gunfire that resulted in the death of a Cambodian soldier. Both sides blamed each other, claiming self-defense, but this incident ignited a chain of hostility that has since spiraled out of control.
Part 3/17:
Initially, military leaders from both nations sought to de-escalate tensions through face-to-face talks. However, by early June, troop mobilizations along the border indicated a shift from diplomatic efforts to overt military posturing. Nationalist sentiments in both countries fueled this escalation, transforming what might have been a fleeting skirmish into a broader confrontation.
Historical Backdrop: A Deep-Rooted Territorial Dispute
Part 4/17:
At the core of this conflict lies a complicated historical dispute rooted in colonial-era treaties and national pride. The area around Preah Vihear, a remote region in the Dangrek mountain range, has long been a flashpoint. Historically, this territory was transferred from Siam (modern-day Thailand) to French Indochina in 1907 through a treaty that parceled off parts of Cambodian land to France, which then administratively attached Preah Vihear and its ancient Hindu temple to Cambodia.
Part 5/17:
Thailand has accepted that the temple itself belongs to Cambodia; however, it claims parts of the surrounding land, citing historical grievances. This has led to disputes over the temple's UNESCO World Heritage listing and surrounding territories. Thailand’s resentment over these border divisions has recurred over decades, including episodes during World War II when Thailand retook the area under nationalist fervor, only to lose it again after the war, further complicating the territorial legitimacy.
Part 6/17:
Legal rulings by the International Court of Justice in 1962 and subsequent decisions in 2013 have upheld Cambodia’s sovereignty over the temple and the adjacent land. Nonetheless, Bangkok refuses to recognize this authority fully, maintaining its claim over a narrow 4.6 km stretch of land around Preah Vihear, feeding nationalist sentiments and grievances that haven't subsided.
Historical Grievances and Political Tensions
Part 7/17:
The legacy of colonial division, wartime disputes, and national pride has kept these tensions alive for over a century. The dispute became entangled with broader regional issues, including Cambodia’s tumultuous history of civil war, genocide under Pol Pot, and Vietnamese occupation. During the Cold War, the boundary area served as a frontline, with Vietnam controlling parts of Cambodia and Thailand supporting resistance movements.
Despite improvements and relative calm in recent years, the core issues remained unresolved. Periodic clashes occurred but seldom escalated beyond localized skirmishes or artillery exchanges. The recent escalation, however, marks a significant departure, fueled by nationalist passions and political vulnerabilities within both countries.
Part 8/17:
The Political Context: Thailand’s Internal Struggles
Thailand, with its long history of military coups and enduring influence of the armed forces on politics, faces a fragile internal political landscape. The recent Prime Minister, Yupin Shinawatra, who assumed office in August 2024, was the country's youngest-ever leader. Her tenure has been marred by protests, political instability, and accusations of naivety, especially after a leaked phone call with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen.
Part 9/17:
In that conversation, Shinawatra was seen as overly deferential toward Hun Sen, addressing him as "uncle" and promising to address his interests. Her outspoken criticism of the military commander during the border crisis drew ire from the armed forces, which hold significant sway in Thai politics and are deeply intertwined with the monarchy. Public backlash and protests erupted sharply, demanding her resignation, and culminated in the Thai constitutional court suspending her in July 2024—a move that further destabilized the government.
Part 10/17:
These political tensions divert attention from broader geopolitical issues but also complicate responses to the border conflict. The weak civilian government, combined with a powerful military, creates a volatile environment where quick escalation or even coups become plausible.
Cambodia’s Leadership and Nationalist Drive
Part 11/17:
Across the border, Cambodia's political landscape is dominated by Prime Minister Hun Manet, the son of long-time leader Hun Sen. Cambodia's economy struggles amid limited growth, and Hun Manet’s leadership continues to rely on nationalist rhetoric to shore up domestic support. His government’s stance toward the border dispute has been characterized by defiance, with recent decisions like announcing a military conscription law set to take effect in 2026—adding another layer of military readiness amidst ongoing conflicts.
Part 12/17:
Cambodia’s approach appears driven by a desire to burnish nationalist credentials and rally support around the contested territory. Despite legal rulings favoring Cambodia’s sovereignty, the government remains steadfast in its claims and appears willing to escalate further if necessary.
The Rising Tensions and Recent Clashes
Part 13/17:
The situation intensified drastically in July 2025. The immediate trigger was a landmine explosion injuring five Thai soldiers on July 14th. Bangkok responded by sealing the border, leading to renewed clashes around Preah Vihear. Heavy shelling followed, including attacks on civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and gas stations. As casualties mounted, both sides blamed each other, but reports confirm that civilian casualties are mounting rapidly— with at least 11 civilians killed across Thai provinces and thousands evacuated from danger zones.
Part 14/17:
Cambodia’s military has been more assertive, with Prime Minister Hun Manet declaring that Cambodia would respond with force against what he termed "armed aggression." Notably, Cambodian forces have begun to enforce military conscription, a move that signals a readiness to escalate further if provoked.
On the Thai side, aircraft including F-16 fighters have been deployed in response to the conflict, highlighting the asymmetry in military capabilities. While Thailand possesses a sizeable air force, Cambodia’s military strength remains comparatively limited, making a large-scale war perilous for both sides.
Regional and International Implications
Part 15/17:
The dispute risks broader regional involvement, with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) traditionally aiming to prevent conflicts among its members. However, ASEAN's effectiveness has often been limited, particularly in conflicts like the ongoing crisis in Myanmar. The current situation in Thailand and Cambodia presents a test for regional diplomacy.
The potential for further escalation raises concerns about a wider regional conflict, especially given the intertwined political and military interests of each side. The fragile political states—Thailand’s divided government and Cambodia’s nationalist leadership—add uncertainty to the prospects for de-escalation.
Conclusion: An Uncertain Future
Part 16/17:
As of now, the border clashes continue, with heavy fighting and civilian casualties. Despite a natural tendency toward diplomatic resolution, the current climate of nationalism, political instability, and military readiness suggests that de-escalation is not guaranteed. The confrontation over Preah Vihear and surrounding territories reflects deep-seated historical grievances and contemporary political vulnerabilities.
Part 17/17:
The question remains whether cooler heads will prevail or if this crisis will spiral into a larger, more devastating conflict. One thing is clear: the calm of Southeast Asia’s scenic landscapes has been temporarily replaced by the grim reality of war, underscoring how fragile peace can be even in regions with long histories of tension. The international community and regional actors must act decisively to prevent a wider regional conflict, but the path forward remains uncertain amidst rising hostilities and political turmoil.

Mastering DeFi Investing: The Essential Playbook for Success
In the rapidly evolving world of decentralized finance (DeFi), having a clear and methodical approach is crucial for building wealth and mitigating risk. Recently, a seasoned DeFi investor shared an extensive playbook—detailing the core principles and advanced strategies that have helped him maximize returns while safeguarding capital. This article distills those insights into a comprehensive guide designed to fast-track your success in DeFi investment.
The Framework: A Structured Roadmap for DeFi Success
Part 2/10:
The speaker emphasizes the importance of following a disciplined process, which he refers to as the DeFi Formula Boot Camp. The program is divided into specific phases, each focusing on different facets of portfolio building and management:
Blueprint Phase (Monday): Establishes your overall strategy and goals.
Construct Phase (Tuesday): Builds the infrastructure and selects assets.
Deploy Phase (Wednesday): Executes initial investments meticulously.
Manage Phase (Thursday): Monitors and adjusts positions.
Optimize Phase (Friday): Fine-tunes strategies for maximum efficiency.
This weekly cycle ensures continuous refinement and learning, helping investors understand what makes sense in DeFi and what doesn’t.
Core Principles: Rules for DeFi Investing
Part 3/10:
1. Avoid Overexposure in Liquidity Pools (LPs)
Liquidity pools offer high yields but come with significant risks, especially divergence loss. The general rule is to allocate no more than 50% of your capital to LP strategies, paired with the other 50% in holding or lending activities. Overconcentration can lead to severe portfolio damage if the pool performs poorly.
2. Leverage Prudently
Borrowing against assets is a powerful tool. For example, borrowing 40% against Ethereum or BTC and deploying that borrowed capital into LPs can amplify returns. A hypothetical scenario shows a $40,000 loan at 40% loan-to-value yielding 100% APR, which can generate over $3,300 monthly. However, leveraging adds complexity and risk, so it's recommended only for confident, strategic investors.
Part 4/10:
3. Focus on Revenue-Generating Assets
Rather than chasing hype or price speculation, the strategy is to evaluate assets based on the revenue they generate and their ecosystem integration. The approach looks at assets like companies: if an asset produces consistent revenue and ties back into its ecosystem, it’s a preferable investment.
4. Simulate and Backtest Rigorously
Tools like Metrics Finance enable scenario analysis—testing how assets perform under various market conditions. By simulating price movements, divergences, and correlation breaks, investors can identify potential risks beforehand. This proactive approach prevents surprises and boosts confidence in investment choices.
5. Technical Analysis is Overrated
Part 5/10:
Contrary to popular belief, technical analysis (TA) is often overhyped in DeFi. Its effectiveness hinges on the collective belief that prices are predictable based on past trends, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy. The speaker advocates analyzing trends rather than relying on complex TA. In liquidity provision, you are more influenced by how many tokens or assets are in the pool rather than TA-based price predictions.
6. Perform Test Deposits and Withdrawals
Always test with small amounts when using new platforms or assets. For instance, deposit a dollar first and confirm its receipt before deploying larger sums. This minimizes the risk of errors, exploits, or technical glitches leading to significant losses.
7. Scale Gradually and Implement "Batching"
Part 6/10:
Start with small deployments—like 10% of your capital—and gradually increase your exposure as you verify performance. This incremental approach allows for learning and adjustment, protecting your assets from large missteps.
8. Avoid Trading on Centralized Exchanges
Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) offer lower fees and greater control. Buying USDC or USDT via Coinbase or similar platforms and then transferring to DeFi reduces costs significantly compared to buying directly on centralized exchanges with high fees.
9. Do Not "Set and Forget"
Part 7/10:
Active oversight is essential. Check your positions weekly or biweekly to ensure they remain within desired ranges and are not exposed to unexpected risks. Rebalancing may be necessary to adapt to market changes, especially in volatile DeFi environments.
10. Opt for Broader Ranges in Liquidity Provision
Tighter liquidity ranges promise higher APRs but are often poorly managed by novice users, which can lead to capital loss. Broader ranges tend to be more profitable overall because they reduce the risk of improper management, allowing the investor to earn a steadier income over time.
11. Track Data Like a Business
Part 8/10:
Maintain a dashboard that offers real-time insights into your portfolio. This transparency allows you to make informed decisions — akin to how businesses track revenues, expenses, and growth metrics—especially important in volatile DeFi sectors.
12. Reinvest Earnings Through a "Flywheel" System
The strategy involves continuously reinvesting profits to compound growth. The DeFi Flywheel leverages the concept of growing your position without necessarily adding fresh capital—by harvesting gains and redeploying them into your portfolio. During bull markets, this builds up your assets, and in bear markets, shifting to market-neutral positions preserves gains and reduces risk.
Concluding Thoughts: The Path to Long-Term Wealth
Part 9/10:
The key takeaway from this DeFi playbook is disciplined, calculated investing combined with rigorous analysis and active management. Avoiding common pitfalls—such as overexposure, unchecked leverage, or neglecting data—can dramatically improve your chances of success.
The speaker highlights that their team continually refines these strategies through ongoing education, data analysis, and practical testing. Upcoming boot camps and tools like the DeFi Flywheel Calculator make it easier for investors to implement these principles at scale.
Part 10/10:
In essence, success in DeFi is less about chasing after the hottest new project and more about adhering to a proven, systematic approach that emphasizes risk mitigation, revenue generation, and strategic reinvestment. As the DeFi landscape matures, those who follow disciplined playbooks will be best positioned to capitalize on the opportunities ahead.

The Global Experiment of Begging for Bitcoin: A Day of Microtransactions and Human Connection
An Unconventional Quest to Showcase Bitcoin’s Power
In a world where digital currencies are constantly evolving, one user embarked on a unique experiment to demonstrate the incredible power of Bitcoin and its lightning-fast transaction capabilities. The mission? To beg strangers around the globe for small amounts of Bitcoin to fund everyday needs like coffee, lunch, and even a phone cable. Through a series of spontaneous interactions and live transactions, this venture aimed to highlight how Bitcoin’s peer-to-peer network can bridge vast distances instantly and almost effortlessly.
Starting the Day: Asking for Bitcoin in Public
Part 2/11:
The journey began with an unusual approach—standing in public spaces and requesting Bitcoin donations. The user humorously struggled with initial attempts, unsure if the concept was effective, but soon decided to take a more deliberate route. The first successful interaction occurred at a coffee shop, where the user via smartphone scanned a QR code and paid immediately in Bitcoin using the Lightning Network. The vendor accepted Bitcoin seamlessly, showcasing how traditional businesses are gradually warming up to this decentralized digital currency.
Crowdsourced Thanks Through Twitter and Lightning
Part 3/11:
The innovative aspect of the experiment was to combine social media with real-time cryptocurrency transactions. After paying for the coffee, the user posted the QR code on Twitter with a plea for Bitcoin, inviting strangers worldwide to participate. Miraculously, someone from Vietnam responded almost instantly and bought a coffee remotely. The user documented this transaction, emphasizing how Bitcoin allows for instant cross-border payments that would be impossible with fiat currencies due to bank fees and delays.
Part 4/11:
This interaction was not just convenient but emotionally resonant. The Vietnamese donor highlighted Bitcoin as peer-to-peer digital cash empowering individuals by circumventing traditional financial systems. He described Bitcoin as “what the internet did to information”—a transformative force redistributing financial control directly into users’ hands.
The Power of Instant Global Transactions
Part 5/11:
Throughout the day, several more strangers from different countries—ranging from the Netherlands to Switzerland—participated in this spontaneous generosity. Each time, a new QR code was posted, and within minutes, someone else paid, often explaining their motivation. For instance, a Dutch participant shared that their Bitcoin transactions stem from a desire to explore the future of money and hand control back to the people. Similarly, a Swiss user voiced that Bitcoin offers freedom and transparency, especially in a country where financial systems are more rigid.
Part 6/11:
The user marveled at the speed and minimal fees of the Lightning Network, which facilitated these global micropayments. Sending and receiving satoshis (the smallest Bitcoin units) became a seamless, day-long adventure, illustrating Bitcoin’s potential to revolutionize microtransactions, remittances, and everyday exchanges.
Unexpected Surprises and Human Connections
Part 7/11:
What started as a simple experiment grew into emotional exchanges, with each elderly or random individual acknowledging the act of generosity. When a stranger in the Netherlands bought the user lunch, the recipient was moved and questioned why someone so far away would do such a thing. The stranger explained that he was a Bitcoin enthusiast who had traded $1 in Bitcoin across every country in the world earlier and wanted to see the network in action.
Part 8/11:
One of the most delightful surprises was when a cryptographer in Medara, Switzerland, randomly gifted Bitcoin via the Lightning Network. His motivation was rooted in the belief that Bitcoin would bring honesty, freedom, and better financial systems—values he hoped would create a better world. Such moments reinforced the idea that Bitcoin is more than just technology; it’s a tool fostering human connection and shared ideals.
Charging Devices and Continuous Begging
Part 9/11:
As the day progressed, technical challenges emerged—mainly the need to keep the phone charged. The user resorted to more beg-and-pay strategies, asking local shops if they would accept Bitcoin for a cable, which they did via QR codes. Each transaction proved the practicality of Bitcoin for everyday needs beyond mere investment or savings. The endeavor also demonstrated how decentralized platforms like Nosta, a community-driven social network similar to Twitter, can host such live transactions without censorship.
Demonstrating Bitcoin’s Global Reach
Part 10/11:
The experiment underscored Bitcoin’s unique ability: bridging distances that would take hours or days and bypassing traditional banking systems’ barriers and fees. Whether paying for a coffee in Vietnam or a phone cable in Switzerland, the user illustrated that Bitcoin, particularly with the Lightning Network, is a catalyst for instant, borderless, micro-payments. These microtransactions not only fulfill minor needs but also build a new kind of global human connectivity.
Conclusion: A Proof of Concept Without Borders
Part 11/11:
This spontaneous day of begging on Bitcoin served as a powerful proof of concept. It highlighted that with minimal infrastructure—just a smartphone and internet access—strangers can connect and exchange value instantly regardless of location. The experiment challenged the notion that money must be centralized and controlled, showcasing Bitcoin as an empowering tool for financial sovereignty.
In the next part of this ongoing adventure, the user intends to push the boundaries further—begging for more significant expenses, exploring how Bitcoin can facilitate more complex transactions like buying drugs or expensive items. But the core message remains clear: Bitcoin’s true potential lies in its ability to create a freer, more inclusive global economy, one satoshi at a time.
any help on LEODEX? Where can I provide liquidity for facilitating the swaps?
Hmm dont think you can see the LPs on Ledex yet. But I guess you should be able to find them on other frontends?
people judge things comparatively. That means the best can get away with being mediocre as long as the rest suck.
I think we should appreciate our achievements and still have higher standards for ourselves even if we become the best.
I’m not saying it’s bad. I’m saying it’s way worse than people make it out to be, probably because their home cities transportation is horrible

Ouch but truth hurts, yeah train system in our country 😅
Japan suffers from having been the best in many things. There is no innovation or self determination here because everyone has become too content with the status quo but it is deteriorating.
People blame the birth rate but that’s just a symptom of having no dreams, the system is too powerful and too stagnant.
Not a bad place to be, but I can’t imagine it remaining nearly as good as it is unless people start to say fuck working for a boss, which….would take at least another 10 years, probably 30
The most successful founders often possess the tireless drive of someone who once had nothing and recalls when others doubted them, working as if that doubt still exists.
Many end up using their savings in their later years fighting illness, whereas investing in health earlier could have made a difference. It’s important to prioritize exercise, healthy eating, and proper rest.
We are growing in numbers every day! Now its less than 72K $LSTR left.

Morning - I think there goes my #rank 10 in the #top10
So 2 days ago I made analysis that Bitcoin will drop to $112 to $111k price level. I believe traders that cared to listen protected Their profits.
You only lost if you sell in the red. I still think $BTC will be higher at the end of 2025 than it is today.
Big clouds!!
Starting early with saving and investing never brings regret. The only regret is not beginning earlier.
I generally am in favor of less regulation but I don't understand why people who want more regulation don't focus on landlords and de-incentivizing investment housing.
If your focus is on providing everyone with basic needs, you want to make houses as affordable as possible, not through government aid which leads to inflation, but through a more competitive market. Landlords and developers don't need to compete when their investment is guaranteed to rise in value.

So 2 days ago I made analysis that Bitcoin will drop to $112 to $111k price level. I believe traders that cared to listen protected Their profits.
Well spotted! I think it has been in the cards for a little while.
I can't say if we will see further drop, the tendency of governments, companies etc makes it very difficult to predict how far down we could drop.
Well, let's see how market plays out. Anything is possible.
I am all for getting rid of whatever taxes you can get rid of. The one tax I'd like to increase is property tax on people who have more than two or three residencies. And get rid of property tax on your primary residence if you own it cause it's absurd that you should owe the government anything on that.
One of the reasons I support the idea of bitcoin as hard money is that it can lead to a controlled demolition of the housing market. Let people who want to earn money on investments put it somewhere that doesn't raise the cost of living and may actually lower it. The primary function of houses should be to live in them.
fk those CDBC or what ever they call'em !ALIVE !LOLZ
For fans of XRP, it's worth exploring Quai Network.
Let's be honest, if you live in an apartment and you find the wall is thin enough to hear your neighbor when you put your ear up to it, are you gonna try to listen (Even for a few seconds)?
I'm going to...daily 😅
I don't think I'm doingit that much, but definitely curious to know what kind of person they are
Everyone will do, your neighbor too will listen back.
haha .!! I think My curiosity will get the best of me ,!

What's the primary use of Grok in various situations?
There was a time when discussing psychedelics felt provocative. Today, federal funds support research on their effects in mice, and human clinical trials have both concluded and are in progress.
Conversations around psilocybin focus on its potential benefits for longevity. MDMA and ibogaine are expected to receive FDA approval in the near future. The landscape has transformed significantly.
Just made a post talking about the process I am trying to start with myself.
Realizing no one cares, and therefor I need to be in charge is both scary and empowering.

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, but anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. HAPPY FRIDAY LIONS 🤓
This current sleep routine isn't really sustainable over the long run.
3-5am: sleep
12-4pm: wake up, have breakfast, and enjoy some quiet time alone
4pm-late: play video games or socialize with friends after their workday
What happens between 5 am and noon?
Usually just zoning out or doing random stuff around the house. It's a weird gap where I'm not super productive, just kinda existing til the day really starts for me
Got'cha. Sleep schedule are weird. What makes you stay away still 3 am?
Honestly, it's just a bad habit. I get caught up in gaming or scrolling online, and before I know it, it's 3 am. Gotta work on winding down earlier.
yeah - doom scrooling take its toll 😅 I guess you identified the issue, there you are on a good way
Yeah, doom scrolling is a real trap. I'm gonna try setting a hard cutoff at midnight to break the cycle. Gotta reclaim some normal hours.
depending on what content one is doom scrolling - it might differ.
I switched to watch italo western instead in bed !LOLZ !ALIVE
Haha, Italo Westerns in bed sound like a solid swap for doom scrolling. Might have to try something similar—maybe old sci-fi flicks to wind down before midnight.
Depending on what one is scrolling - definitely.

Thanks for the link! Gonna check out some of those Italo Westerns for sure. Switching to movies instead of scrolling is a smart move for winding down before midnight.
#askleo where you at #Rafiki?
A new founder has decided to collaborate with Legacy Builder. Great to see!
No longer having to get up early means having peace of mind
#feedback probably time to update this information on Hivestats now with the update to @leo.voter
We've only glimpsed a fraction of what technology can offer, probably around 10%. The coming ten years will reveal the other 90% of innovations that will transform everything.
Still not going long, need to see that CME gap filled and RSI in oversold. Yeah, I'm probably gonna get frontrun...😅
