@CepnikMaciej Congratulations 💪👍 The sky's the limit!

[Maciej Cepnik 🇵🇱 🇲🇽 🇨🇦 @CepnikMaciej]

The hardest thing as an entrepreneur is not letting your ego get flattered too much when your work and efforts start showing early signs of success.

People from the outside will often underestimate the amount of effort it took to achieve even minimal success. More importantly, they will underestimate what is required to achieve profitability and long-term survivability.

People congratulating you is nice, but it’s not a real indicator of success. It may be correlated, of course, but what actually matters is active customers and people using your product on a regular basis.

The best customers will often never say “thank you” verbally. They say thank you by actually using your product, finding it useful, and coming back again and again.

It’s easy to go to an industry event, in my case, the crypto/Bitcoin industry in Mexico, and have people recognize you and congratulate you. But many of them haven’t even tried your product. That’s fine. Not everyone is your target market. So stay polite, be grateful that people take the time to say nice things, but remember that this is far from being a real measure of success.

Only the numbers matter in the end.

It’s easy to rest on your laurels when that happens. It can negatively impact your work because you start thinking you’re “making it,” and you slow down when you should actually be accelerating.

At @AureoBitcoin, this month, we’ve increased our app volume by 85% compared to our previous all-time-high month, and there’s still one week left in June. We also have strong numbers from our OTC desk, so we’ll probably finish the month close to 100% growth.

However, this is still far from what we need to achieve. You need sustained growth for months, if not at least a full year, to truly be considered successful and sustainable.

I’m confident we can achieve this at Aureo. We have many products in the pipeline, not only inside the app, that I believe will change the Bitcoin industry in Mexico forever.

I’m also extremely confident in our world-class team. In our core team, we are 9 people, not counting our compliance and legal teams, all real Bitcoiners, all aligned around the same mission.

So if you’re Mexican and interested in becoming a real Bitcoin investor, I invite you to visit our website.

Not because we’re a startup and every customer counts, but because we’ve actually built the easiest, simplest, and most secure way to buy and sell Bitcoin in Mexico.

Cuál es la diferencia entre D2W (Direct to Wallet) de Aureo y otras plataformas mexicanas?

Cómo sabes realmente si el dinero que ves en tu app bancaria está ahí?

No puedes saberlo con certeza hasta que vas, lo retiras y lo tienes en tus manos.

Cómo sabes si realmente tienes tu Bitcoin en una plataforma?

No puedes saberlo con certeza hasta que lo retiras a tu propia wallet.

Al final, ambos son solo números en una pantalla.

Bitcoin en México es la misión. 🇲🇽

Aureo es la plataforma.

Direct to Bank (D2B) es solo una de las herramientas.

En este video explico nuestra misión y cómo funciona la forma más rápida y sencilla de vender bitcoin. Si solo te interesa esa parte, salta al 2:30 👇

I recently learned about PTU, the Mexican law that obligates companies to share 10% of their profits with their employees every year. You can probably guess why this caught my attention. (tip: Luisito Comunica)

What hooked me is that I didn't even know this model existed. By law, workers are entitled to a slice of company profit, basically a shareholder-style claim on the upside, by default, without owning a single share.

And Mexico isn't alone, but it's mostly an exception in the whole world. A handful of countries mandate some version of it 👇

✔️Ecuador: 15% of profit
✔️Peru: 5 to 10% depending on industry
✔️Venezuela: 15%
✔️Bolivia: up to a month's pay, capped at 25% of profit
✔️Chile: 30%, or a capped formula
✔️Brazil: negotiated profit-sharing (PLR)
✔️France: mandatory "participation" for larger firms

Notice the pattern. It's almost entirely Latin America. It's rare globally, and basically absent in high-GDP per capita, high-productivity economies, with Chile and France being the only real exceptions.

But the part that actually matters: do these laws redistribute anything?

In Mexico, for years, barely. Companies ran a two-entity trick. One company booked the profits, a separate "service" company held the workers, so the profitable entity had no employees to share the profits with. (That's probably only one of the few fiscal tricks that can be used)

A Bank of Mexico and University of Zurich study put numbers on it: around 20% of manufacturing plants had outsourced their entire workforce, and nationally, profit-sharing landed near 2.8% of profits, nowhere close to the 10% the law promises.

Mexico banned core-activity outsourcing in 2021, and mechanically it worked. Firms re-hired their workers and payments rose. But firms offset part of it through slower wage growth, and most workers still don't understand the benefit they're owed.

That's my real issue with these laws. They add complexity to running a company (and bill plenty of lawyer hours), while the people they're meant to help often don't know their rights or how "profit" is even calculated.

Governments love laws that look great on paper. Enforcement is not really important afterwards.

To be clear, I'm 100% for sharing the upside of a company with employees, especially in startups.

I just think it works when it's voluntary and tied to real performance: equity, stock, bonuses people actually understand and want.

The best example happened this week. SpaceX went public in the biggest IPO in history, and employees who'd been paid partly in stock for years cashed in. Not just executives, but engineers, technicians, even the baristas in the cafeteria. Many became millionaires overnight, some even billionaires.

That's the model Mexico and LatAm should be chasing if they want to attract real talent and retain it.

Otherwise, they'll just go build for American companies. Competing at that level is hard, but it has to start somewhere.

@Graham__Hancock A speedy recovery sir! Rest well, bare feet in grass, meditate ❤️💪👍

[Abo Salah @abosalaharena]

دي هتبقى واحدة من أكتر اللقطات المؤثرة اللي هنشوفها في البطولة دي... أنا متأكد. 💔

عارف ليه خيمينيز كان متأثر بالشكل ده؟ وليه بيعيط؟ وليه لابس الواقي على راسه؟

خد بالك... دي مش موضة.
من 6 سنين، و��حديدًا في موسم 2019/2020، مسيرة راؤول خيمينيز كانت شبه انتهت بعد اصطدامه العنيف مع ديفيد لويز.

إصابة في الجمجمة، واللاعب نفسه وصف تعافيه بعد كده بالمعجزة. حتى بعض الأطباء كانوا شايفين إنه مش هيرجع يلعب بنفس الطريقة تاني.

وكان قريب جدًا من الاعتزال.
لكن والده أقنعه يكمل، لأنه كان نفسه يشوف ابنه بيسجل للمكسيك في كأس العالم، خصوصًا إنها بطولة بتتلعب على أرضهم.

للأسف... قبل انطلاق البطولة بشهرين، توفى والده بعد صراع مع السرطان.
و��تها خيمينيز قرر الاعتزال فعلًا، وقال إنه مش عاوز يلعب البطولة.

لكن والدته كانت صاحبة الكلمة الأخيرة.
قالتله كمل... وأنا هكون موجودة في المدرجات، والبلد كلها هتشوفك وأنت بتسجل.

النهاردة...
خيمينيز سجل هدف عالمي في الافتتاح.
ولم يستطع أن يمنع دموعه.
لأن الشخص اللي كان نفسه يشوف اللحظة دي أكتر من أي حد... ما كانش موجود.

لكنه حقق حلم والدته.
وحقق وعدًا لوالده.

وعشان كده...
بعض الأهداف لا تُحتفل بها فقط...
بعض الأهداف بتداوي جزء من القلب. ❤️🇲🇽

Hoy es un gran día de fiesta en México por el gran partido de hoy, pero seguimos 100% operando.

Un cliente nos contactó para realizar una transacción grande de Bitcoin porque no logró comunicarse con el soporte de otro exchange grande en México.

Le respondimos en solo 4 minutos y concretamos la operación rápidamente.

De todos modos vamos a disfrutar el día y, por supuesto, estamos apoyando a México.

¡VAMOS MÉXICO! 🇲🇽 👀⚽️

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

Here's a snapshot of the biological insult from international travel. It takes your body over two weeks to fully recover.

It's a big price tag.

One international trip per quarter is a reasonable balance.

Time to recover:
> sleep duration: 2 days
> grip strength: 5 days
> mood: 1 wk
> cortisol: 9 days
> sleep quality: 2 wks
> blood glucose: 2 wks

The Serapeum gives me goosebumps every time I go inside.

70+ ton, mirror-polished granite boxes, all housed in their own special chambers deep inside a subterranean labyrinth in the Egyptian desert.

Like looking at the remnants of an alien world.
