So this goes back to the 90s I grew up in a rural area in the 90s. This was just after the cold war had ended and NATO was still flying some fighter jets in the sky, just for practice. I still remember

Remembering the "good old days" The original Gothic game was one of the first 3D RPGs I have played - it seems like a life time away now. I still remember renting the game from a friend in school

When bottom? It's long looked like Hive was about to bottom only to once again make lower lows. When will this downtrend finally stop? Obviously, I am now more careful to "call the bottom" -

It's Hot Not sure where you live, but here it's super hot. It's close to 40°C and there aren't many places that are suitable for that kind of weather to hang around. Since I get bored staying indoors all

Spectacular Show I actually forgot about these pictures. Several months ago there was a big fire in the neighborhood to celebrate the onset of spring. It's not every day that one sees flames raging as

I guess I missed the update It can't have been very long ago, but today I realized that Splinterlands has finally overhauled their SPS rental market. The old one was particularly annoying since one had

You don't have to be an ornithologist to enjoy Not too far from here, there is a small lake with a lot of reed. It's the spot for bird lovers as it isn't just a hot spot for migratory birds taking a short

Have you ever seen a growing waterfall? I suppose it may not even be that uncommon, but it was the first time I saw one (or maybe was aware of this special fact). Over the years this waterfall has grown

Time To Raise The Goal Post I have long settled at 150k HP and continually sold off the extra Hive in order to diversify my portfolio. That has been a very limited success so far... many projects I invested

The Wait Is Finally Over? Well not yet... JP is still not quite giving the green light, but things are looking promising! So what's the deal? Monero is probably the gold standard for on-chain privacy and

BTC already in consolidation? 4 years ago I remember how some of us called the end of the bear market for BTC quite early. In hindsight this was the correct assessment as BTC didn't drop sub 10k again

Too Soon To Say ...But it certainly is looking quite interesting. If 3.3 really was the turning point for the crypto market as past blood moons have indicated, we could be in for almost 3 years of a bullish

Things looked better in December In fact, it was hard not to be bullish on XMR. The main reasons for that were a multi year long uptrend that ran opposed to the general market direction. Only few Alts

Well... a bit disappointing All previous pumps for SPS occurred from bigger sales due to a new set expansion. And we always got a big dump afterwards. I somehow had hoped that it wouldn't be this decisive

Now that we are officially in a bear market... There is no denying it, we are in a bear. It feels especially "unfair" and shocking to ALT coin hodlers because there wasn't a bull market to begin

A Rather Curious Situation I have noticed a new phenomenon in how we interact with each other lately. If you have ever used AI to draft a message, you have likely participated in this process yourself.

4 months after LeoDex staking rewards Almost 4 months into LEO 2.0 and LeoDex paying out USDC to sLEO stakers, it's time for an update. There was quite some hype back then and even I was excited by the

Looking good so far Last week I made the daunting statement that Hive seems to have bottomed. While I think it might still take a month or two at the current levels before a major breakout occurs, Hive

Privacy Shift It seems that one of the more positive things that has come out of the 2025 crypto market is a shift back to utility. Memes aren't the hype anymore and instead we have seen DeFi rise with

What's the potential for Anyone? Two days ago I looked at the Anyone network and outlined the potential from a utility standpoint. Since then 1M Anyone has been staked bringing the total amount to 2M.
