When I worked at a small supermarket, there was a man who came in almost every Friday to buy groceries.
He always bought the same things: milk, bread, eggs, and sometimes a few snacks.
One Friday, he got to the counter and realized he’d forgotten his wallet.
“Can I take these home and transfer the money when I get back? I live just around the corner.”
I’d seen him shopping there for months, so I let him take the groceries.
He came back the following morning and paid.
After that, it happened a few more times. Whenever he forgot his wallet, I’d let him take the groceries and pay later.
Then one afternoon, a woman came into the supermarket carrying her phone.
She showed the manager a series of transactions from her bank statement.
“These payments were made at your supermarket. I don’t recognize them.”
Venice has always been a place where different worlds meet. Its history reminds us that some of the things we enjoy today began as journeys across cultures, trade routes, and generations.
That same appreciation for heritage is what makes @Barbera_1870 worth celebrating. Coffee is more than a drink; it carries stories of the people, places, and traditions behind every cup.
From the busy streets of historic Venice to a quiet morning at home, a well-prepared #Espresso offers a moment to slow down and appreciate the little things.
Perhaps that is one lesson coffee has taught us over the centuries: good things deserve patience. Whether it's a refreshing #GoodMorning ritual or a much-needed #CoffeeBreak, the experience matters just as much as the taste.
That's the beauty of #ItalianCoffee. 🇮🇹☕
A friend of mine recently told me something that made me uncomfortable, and I honestly don’t know if I would have handled it differently.
He had been dating a woman for about eight months when she asked him to help her buy a fairly expensive phone.
He agreed to contribute half the amount, and she added the rest from her salary.
A week after she bought the phone, they had an argument. Nothing particularly serious, but she told him she needed some space and didn’t want to see him for a while.
He respected that.
About two weeks later, he went to visit a mutual friend and found his girlfriend there. They greeted each other normally, he finished what brought him and left.
Later that night, he called her and asked if there was something she wanted to tell him.
She denied everything at first, until he being aggressive about it.
She eventually admitted they had been seeing each other for a few weeks.
He didn’t insult her or threaten anybody. He simply told her he was done.
Then he brought up something else.
Family-owned since 1870 in southern Italy, this historic roaster blends traditional Neapolitan craft with global café expansion and blockchain transparency. https://t.co/N3NNDjpzaj
Nahhh 😭💀 Désiré Doué really lost part of his tooth in the France vs Italy game after that challenge with Frattesi. 🦷🤕
He was left with a crooked tooth and had to come off.
Footballers are built different… but would YOU stay on the pitch after that? 😭
Every new platform brings a chance to explore, contribute, and discover new opportunities. I'm glad to be joining @starlisting and looking forward to seeing what the experience has to offer.
Here's to creating, connecting, and making meaningful progress along the way.

This is a true story. It happened in Thailand, and it’s so heartbreaking. One of the divers died, but thankfully, all the boys were found safe and rescued.

One thing I genuinely like about @rarelistio is how it handles campaign duration.
Most InfoFi platforms can keep a campaign running for weeks or even months, and sometimes the excitement starts fading before the campaign ends. With Rarelistio, 1–2 weeks is usually enough to get involved, contribute, compete and move on to the next opportunity.
I like that because it keeps things fresh. There's always something to look forward to, and creators don't have to spend an entire month chasing one leaderboard.
Another thing I appreciate is the opportunity to discover new projects, learn what different teams are building and earn rewards along the way. It gives smaller creators a reason to participate too, rather than feeling like the same big accounts will always dominate.
But there's one thing I'm still curious about.
Rarelistio recently introduced changes to its scoring algorithm, and I'd really like to understand how the new system works. What exactly determines a creator's score now? How does it measure genuine contributions, originality and consistency? And how does it prevent spam from getting ahead of meaningful content?
I like what Rarelistio is building, but I also want to understand the system better.
A good campaign is one thing. A fair reward system is what keeps people coming back.
The privatisation programme under Obasanjo, with Atiku chairing the National Council on Privatisation, deserves public scrutiny. Nigerians have a right to ask questions.
Venice gave coffee a place in its story, but every cup creates a story of its own. @Barbera_1870 makes me appreciate the little ritual of a rich #Espresso, its aroma, warmth and first comforting sip. That's the beauty of #ItalianCoffee. Enjoy your #CoffeeBreak.
When Multisig Is No Longer Enough: Lessons from the 2024–2026 Attacks
Multisig was once considered the gold standard of treasury security. With enough signatures, funds could not move. Recent incidents show that attackers no longer need to break the cryptography—they only need to deceive trusted people.
Radiant Capital lost ~$50 million after malware manipulated the Safe interface, causing three developers to sign malicious transactions. Bybit lost $1.4–1.5 billion when malicious JavaScript from the Safe{Wallet} development environment made signers believe they were approving a routine transfer, while it was actually a delegatecall that replaced the implementation. Drift Protocol lost ~$280 million after attackers collected enough signatures from 2 of 5 Security Council members.
The common pattern: the signatures were valid, but the signers did not truly understand what they were approving. This is also why ecosystems like @TheDAOLabs need to clearly separate contribution history from actual permissions when designing Social Mining mechanisms.
