Yes, we should use AI as much as we can these days.
But as a third hand, not as the main brain.
And I'm not talking about the small stuff, like summarizing a long email. I mean building real things: apps, bots, business automations.
That kind of work still takes serious time and effort, even with AI by your side.
The tools got faster. The grind didn't disappear.
Great things still take sacrifice.
You see me posting about @GoMining all the time.
But I never really told you how I found them, why I joined, and how this whole journey started.
So here's the story 👇
It was the peak era of Telegram mini-games.
Remember those? 😂
Playing a game for hours just to qualify for a $2 airdrop.
While I was doing exactly that, I kept seeing ads between the games.
Most of them were annoying.
But then one caught my attention: Bitcoin mining.
Why?
Because I've always been a Bitcoin believer. I genuinely believe in what Bitcoin stands for, and I've always wanted to mine BTC myself.
The problem was simple:
Mining Bitcoin traditionally meant expensive hardware, electricity, cooling, maintenance, definitely not something you just do from your phone.
So I started doing my own research.
And that's when I found @GoMining
The idea was simple enough for me to understand:
Mine Bitcoin from your pocket.
A phone.
An app.
A digital miner/NFT.
And actual Bitcoin mining infrastructure behind it.
So I decided to give it a shot.
And that first step, a little over 2 years ago, turned into something much bigger.
Since then:
My mining power went from 1 TH to 289 TH
My energy efficiency went from 30 W/TH → 15 W/TH
I joined the GoMining X Creator Club and met some genuinely great people
I became part of the GoMining community on X
I started mining my own BTC instead of simply buying it
And I now have my own GoMining VIP manager
Looking back, it's kinda crazy.
What started with me playing Telegram games and randomly seeing an ad became a 2+ year Bitcoin mining journey.
And that's probably the part people don't see when they see me posting about GoMining today.
They're seeing the 289 TH.
They don't see the 1 TH I started with.
They're seeing the miner.
They don't see the decision that started it all.
And honestly?
I'm curious where this journey takes me next.
2 years from now, let's see how far we've gone.
Ideal age for marriage:
Biologically - 15 years.
Religiously - 15-17 years.
Socially - 26 years.
Legally - 18 years.
Traditionally - 24-28 years.
Economically - 30 years.
Logically - Never.
We all have to pay fees, but paying them smartly makes the difference.
9 ways to reduce your @GoMining maintenance fees
Most people know about the ethereum:0x7ddc52c4de30e94be3a6a0a2b259b2850f421989 token discounts.
But there are actually several different systems that can reduce what you pay and some of them don't require buying anything.
I went looking for all of them.
Here's what I found 🧵
The club you MUST be in!
A month ago I joined the @GoMining X Creators Club.
It's not another creator program.
It's a real community, the type you hardly find in crypto nowadays.
Over the past month we've shared ideas, reviewed each other's content, discussed different angles for the weekly topics, and genuinely helped one another improve.
It's never felt like creators competing for attention, it feels like creators building together.
What I also appreciate is that every week pushes you to learn something new.
One week you're diving into Bitcoin payments with GoBTC Pay.
The next you're breaking down why GoMining isn't traditional cloud mining.
Then you're exploring products like Instant Funds and thinking about real-world use cases instead of simply reposting announcements.
It challenges you to understand the product before creating content about it.
Your clock, not just your calories
Morning exercise doesn’t just wake you up, it can physically shift your circadian clock earlier, something researchers call a “phase advance.”
Your body’s master clock uses light and movement as its two strongest cues, and when you stack both first thing in the morning, the effect appears to be additive rather than just cumulative.
This matters most if you deal with “social jetlag” the mismatch between your body clock and your actual wake-up time caused by irregular schedules (weekday alarms vs. weekend sleep-ins).
Morning training is one of the few non-drug tools that can pull your rhythm back into alignment.
Tip:
If you can get outside for even part of the session, you’re stacking two clock-setting signals instead of one.
📈 DeFi's six-month losing streak ended in July
After six consecutive months of decline, the total value locked in DeFi climbed back to ~$73.8B in July.
But the growth didn't come from the major blockchains. It primarily came from the long tail: the "Others" basket more than doubled, from $3.46B to ~$7.02B, due to the launch of @RobinhoodApp Chain and rapid gains on other smaller blockchains.
Hyperliquid Maintains Dominance Among Perp DEXs
@HyperliquidX generated $218B in trading volume in July, while other exchanges generated nearly $189B together.
The combined volume of the top eight Perp DEXs fell by $85B, or 17%, compared with the previous month.
The decline affected the broader market but did not change its structure: liquidity remains heavily concentrated on @HyperliquidX , while its closest competitors continue to form a separate second tier.

Having control over my emotions means a lot these days.
Especially when you see possibilities like these on @Polymarket.
A $1k move for Bitcoin is nothing when it starts moving (currently at $63k at post time).
But when acting like a stablecoin as it did the last 1-2 weeks, the risk is greater than I realise.
Closed the app and moved on.
The more I use Elsa, the more I see how easy it is to use it.
My mom, a non-crypto native, could easily use it.
Just speak like with a normal human being and Elsa will execute.
While doing all that, I also climb the leaderboard. I've just secured my Sentinel role.
Next week, I'll reach Arcanist.
Stay safe and stay Elsa out there.
