Home for the holidays. Mom's bipolar has cycled through thirty years of my life. The decade after college was the quiet window. I thought we'd earned some peace.
At sixty, the brain can't buffer what it used to. I watch her struggle and feel two things at once: grief and rage. Neither helps.
I've rationalized this for years. COVID broke something. Last year I bottomed out harder than I wanted to admit.

Three VPNs, two payment methods, and one exhausting morning later: I broke through every AI restriction.

The era of "Quietly Investing Offshore" is dead.
I just went down the rabbit hole of CRS (Common Reporting Standard) and what I found is a nightmare for retail investors.
Here is the timeline:
- 2016: Bought US stocks via brokers. Felt safe.

Instead of paying a landlord, I'm deploying that capital into Bitcoin and quality assets.
The formula is simple:
Remote Income + Local Living = Infinite Leverage.
Your environment costs are negotiable. Your standards aren't.
Where are you overpaying just because "that's where you've always lived"?

"What's your time horizon?"
Most people lose because they're playing different games simultaneously.
Pick ONE timeline and optimize for it.
I'm playing the 5-year game.
What's yours?

I turned 5,300 articles from my mentor into one Markdown library.
Now AI can actually search through everything I've learned instead of just sitting in random folders collecting digital dust.
Are you preparing your digital arsenal?

I laughed when Ready Player One shut down the Oasis two days a week to force people outside.
Now I hit my Claude limit just to get real work done everywhere.
Turns out that wasn't science fiction. That was a warning about how we'd actually live.
Anyone else feel this way?'

I was drowning in prompt engineering until I found Typeless.

My 4-year-old just replaced traditional picture books in 5 minutes.
Yesterday she told Claude: "Make me a story about a friendly snake who helps people"
Got a full illustrated story.
She's 4 and already leveraging AI.
I'm curious yet concerned about the future.
Are your kids using AI yet?

Everyone's burning tokens for show but Snek is burning them for real.
1.45 billion+ $SNEK removed from circulation in 1,000 days.
While you're focused on marketcap, we're quietly:
