I've often written about slow, rational money management, and savings, staking, and deliberate choices can create freedom and flexibility. I don't chase high returns at all costs, and I don't work for

Every few months, someone brings up Rich Dad Poor Dad (book). They quote it like gospel: "Don’t work for money, make money work for you." Sure. Fair point. But here’s a thought I find more useful

A few months ago, I wrote about currency risk for Europeans holding dollar-denominated assets. Today, I’m circling back to that topic, not to question my choices, but to offer a snapshot of where I currently

The U.S. dollar has been the global go-to currency for decade, think of it as the dependable old sedan in the financial garage. But lately, there’s a new contender quietly cruising beside it: the euro.

I grew up in an overprotected environment. No open seas, no real dangers. Just control, comfort, and the constant poison of "be careful". The ocean terrified me. It was too much. Too vast, too

Lately, I've been really frustrated by currency risk. As a European investor, I've noticed that my dollar-denominated investments have lost value, even when nothing fundamentally justifies such a depreciation.

Lately, I’ve been rethinking my portfolio as a European investor, and one thing has become crystal clear: paying attention to the euro versus dollar dynamics matters. Recently, the dollar lost over 10%

Markets are crashing: S&P 500 down -8% in two days. Nasdaq 100 just posted the largest single-point loss in history. And yet, 3.5 trillion dollars evaporated like it’s business as usual. Why? Welcome

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick update about my latest move on Hive. I recently bought around 1030 HBD on the market, adding to my existing savings. At this point, my total HBD holdings have

Today I want to take a moment to review my journey here on Hive. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, and lately I haven't been as present as I was in the early days, but looking back helps me

In my search for diversification, I’ve come to weight the role of crypto stablecoins in my portfolio. They’re not a replacement for Bitcoin, Hive or other altcoins but a complementary tool. I balance both

I already hold HBD savings, the Hive stablecoin with a built-in 15% APR (until now) that earns interest almost automatically. However, as part of my ongoing quest for diversification, I decided to explore

It’s done! After 85 days and nearly 28,000 nautical miles, my virtual Vendée Globe has come to the end, I finally crossed the finish line a few days ago and now I found the time to sit down and write.

The Vendée Globe adventure is nearing its end, both in the real world and in my own Virtual Regatta. As I sail north toward the Azores, things have been going fairly well. I’ve managed to recover a few

Hi guys! Vendée Globe continues but it’s not all smooth sailing, especially for me in the Virtual Regatta. Over the past month I’ve completed the circumnavigation of Antarctica and rounded Cape Horn, passing

Do you remember when I talked about how secure Windows is these days? It wasn’t just a random thought, I was in the middle of deciding on buying a new modern laptop. And after years of using Linux exclusively

Vendée Globe never ceases to amaze. After smashing 24-hour distance records (Sebastien Simon’s latest being a staggering 615 miles) the frontrunners have reached the Cape of Good Hope. The leading pack

Bitcoin is back! After climbing to $90k everyone is asking: can it really hit $100k? It’s an ambitious target, sure, but not impossible, just because everyone wants it, it's likely that this will actually
