Everyone is equal in #bitcoin
When you die, what have you done for humanity?

[Ihtesham Ali @ihtesham2005]

A community college professor taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years, and the video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings on the internet.

His name is Marty Lobdell. He spent his career as a psychology professor watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because nobody had ever taught them how their brain actually works under the pressure of learning something hard.

The lecture is called "Study Less Study Smart." Over 10 million views. Passed around in Reddit threads, Discord servers, and university study groups for over a decade. And the core insight buried inside it has been sitting in cognitive psychology research for years, waiting for someone to explain it in plain language.

Here is the framework that completely changed how I think about effort.

Your brain does not sustain focus the way you think it does. Studies tracking real students found that the average learner hits a wall somewhere between 25 and 30 minutes.

After that, efficiency doesn't just decline. It collapses. You're still sitting at your desk, still looking at the page, but almost nothing is going in.

Lobdell illustrated this with a student he knew personally. She set a goal of studying 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week, to pull herself out of academic probation. Thirty hours of studying per week. She failed every single class that quarter.

She wasn't failing because she lacked effort. She was failing because she had confused time spent near books with time spent actually learning. The 25-minute crash hit her at 6:30pm every night. She spent the next five and a half hours sitting in the wreckage of her own focus and calling it studying.

The fix sounds almost too simple. The moment you feel the slide, stop. Take five minutes. Do something that actually gives you a small reward. Then go back. That five-minute reset returns you to near full efficiency. Across a six-hour window, the difference is not marginal. It is the difference between thirty minutes of real learning and five and a half hours of it.

The second thing he taught destroyed something I had believed about how memory actually works.

Highlighting feels productive. Going back over your notes and recognizing everything feels like knowing. But recognition and recollection are two completely different cognitive processes, and your brain is very good at making you confuse them.

You can see something you've read before and feel completely certain you understand it, even when you couldn't reconstruct a single sentence from memory if the page were blank.

He proved this live in the room. He read 13 random letters to his audience. Almost nobody could recall them. Then he rearranged the same 13 letters into two words: Happy Thursday. The whole room got all 13 without effort.

Same letters. Same count. The only thing that changed was meaning.

The brain stores meaning. Not repetition. The moment new information connects to something you already understand, the retention changes entirely.

This is what the cognitive psychology literature calls elaborative encoding, and it is the mechanism underneath every effective study technique.

The third principle was the one that hit me hardest, and the one almost nobody applies.

Lobdell cited research showing that 80 percent of your study time should be spent in active recitation, not passive reading. Close the material. Say it back in your own words.

Teach it to someone else, or to an empty chair if no one is around. The struggle of retrieval is where the actual learning happens. Reading your notes again is watching someone else do the work.

His parting line has stayed with me longer than almost anything else I have read about learning.

He told the room that if what he shared didn't change their behavior, they hadn't actually learned it. It would just live in their heads as something they had heard once and felt good about.

He was right. And most people leave every lecture exactly like that.

The students who remember everything aren't putting in more hours.

They stopped confusing the feeling of studying with the fact of it.

Billions are invested to mine last 5%.
What it is real value of freshly mined bitcoin?
What it’ll be after few more halvings?

The true north of crypto is decentralization, yet we're still building on centralized sandcastles. It's time to face facts: dApps need truly distributed infrastructure.

Imagine: A global, distributed cloud for compute, storage, and bandwidth – collectively owned, censorship-resistant, and resilient. THAT is the missing piece. THAT is the next evolution.

Let's build it.

@NekozTek all we need is for Elon to wake up one beautiful morning and tweet one word.

This is my life today.
(Actually it was a car we got from an owner of the rental place in Puerto Rico, when all cars were rented out, he gave he’s own. It broke in 10 miles, he came in two hours, brought another car for free. Those are the nicest people, who help you in hard time

[Oleg DC @olegdc]

@NekozTek I’ll be honest, those bad thoughts have visited my mind recently.
It’s hard to be optimistic, when reached the bottom, but knowing you and following you for 8 years I can see how you grow, I know I can make it too. (Even that you banned me on Tg about 5 years ago, lol)

@CryptoKaleo Lost car, rental place, all things in storage and zero portfolio…
Rare event in life, real bottom. Im at the hidden bullish divergence in my life. I just need small jump start , at least to buy a car, do few projects and use it to start investing and trading.

🚨JUST IN: Gov. Ron DeSantis has dropped a bombshell, demanding the complete abolition of property taxes across the United States.

"It's almost like they have to pay rent to the government, just to be able to enjoy their property. That's wrong. We need to do something about it."

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

This is HUGE ‼️ A group of American doctors has created a network to finally fight back against the health insurance industry

It’s called Direct Primary Care, for a small monthly fee you get

- No copays
- Unlimited Visits
- Free procedures
- Wholesale Meds
- Wholesale Labs
- Los Cost Imaging
- Doctor Cell Number

“This is a new movement. Now we have several thousands of physicians and clinics doing this across across the US and why are we doing it, right? Because physicians, the reason why is because physicians got tired of running up against insurance. So they don't take it anymore”

[Oleg DC @olegdc]

@PhilakoneCrypto Ahahaha, I’d use same strategy to filter out noons and ban them. Or it’s a waste of time, but LVL80 troll! 🙂

@JacobCanfield its not a bubble, its a black hole, because it can take totally 100% of everything, without expanding. Even when all fiat hyperinflate to zero, 1 btc will be still 1 btc.

[Oleg DC @olegdc]

@Vivek4real_ no one is asking a question of the USD value in 5 years. $1M in 5 years will be your monthly salary, thanks to hyperinflation
