Growth is never linear

28 Jul 2023 1 minute read 5 comments LeftFooted

I'm a content creator by trade, and a crypto enthusiast by... passion, I guess, and there's one characteristic both things have in common. Growth is never linear. Ideally, when we decide you want to start buying Bitcoin every day, or discover a new...

Barbenheimer box office result is further proof you can't tell people what to want, and what not to want

26 Jul 2023 1 minute read 7 comments LeftFooted

Pundits and experts pointed out that Barbenheimer had the fourth-best box office opening of all time, and the first one that's not Marvel- or Disney-related. Now, that's fair enough, but that's like saying that Erling Halaand and Karim Benzema score...

Technology is a mess

Technology is a mess and we're all slave to it. This morning I woke up and found two emails I wasn't particularly happy about. The first email said "welcome to Such and Such Financial Services (fictitious name), please confirm your email", the secon...

"No KYC no service" - Yes, mate, but my face is unrecognizable

21 Jul 2023 1 minute read 15 comments LeftFooted

I broke my jaw and nose about a week ago, and even though I'm recovering pretty quickly, my face is still barely recognizable. Apple's FaceID, for example, recognizes my facial features about twice for every ten attempts. Ironically, just around th...

19 Jul 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

About a month ago, I was given the option to upgrade to Coinbase One subscription service for free, which I did. As you can predict, the goal is to give you a 30-day free trial period in the hope you'll just forget about it and renew it at €24.99 pe...

XRP on the rise... but I crashed - literally

I'm writing this from the new AirBnB, I left the old one a few days ago but never made it back because I ended up in the hospital. I'm not sure what happened. I blacked out and no one saw anything. Next thing I know I woke up on the tarmac. Covered...

Times, they are a-changin', aren't they?

I remember the first time I had to look for a Bitcoin ATM, out of necessity - it was 2018. LocalBitcoins was still a thing, but I needed an ATM, and a quick Google search told me that, believe it or not, the nearest one was in Girona, Spain. Flying...

FaucetCrypto slashes rewards - Are crypto faucets still a thing?

7 Jul 2023 1 minute read 4 comments LeftFooted

Several hundred years ago, by which I mean 2015, I started using faucets on my phone. The process was pretty straightforward but, as you do, I was not particularly careful so I lost all that crypto. I downloaded a wallet, but the 12- or 24-word sys...

Should we start buying XRP?

5 Jul 2023 1 minute read 5 comments LeftFooted

Whales have been accumulating Ripple (XRP) like mad in the last few weeks. As per blockchain data, Ripple whales have acquired 52 million XRP since mid June. The accumulation began in May, but it has skyrocketed as of recent. The reasons for this...

Social media guy pocketed nine figures on an app with fake users - and no one noticed

New day, new scam. Mr Founder, we're going to call him that but you can easily find his name on Google, founded a social media app called IRL, which ironically stands for In Real Life. The app was supposed to be a blend of Eventbrite, Facebook and...
