Prepare yourself for the increasing surveillance of your financial data:
DAC8 in the EU 🇪🇺, SEC surveillance in the U.S. 🇺🇸, mandatory KYC on every centralized on-ramp, and blockchain analysis companies tracing every transaction..
Your 8-step plan to stay alive in the new era:
1️⃣ Delete CEX (Coinbase/Kraken/Binance/..) accounts
2️⃣ Move everything to self-custody
3️⃣ Hold at least a small percentage of your portfolio in XMR, the only asset they can't trace
4️⃣ Focus on buying/selling P2P / via DEXs
5️⃣ When using XMR, run your own node or use trusted remote ones
6️⃣ Use TOR or I2P for making transactions, if possible
7️⃣ Decoy wallets + churning for plausible deniability
8️⃣ Relocate your life or at least your assets to a privacy-friendly jurisdiction
2026 is the year in which true privacy will start to shine.
Either you adapt or you become a perfect little tax slave with a public ledger tattooed on your forehead.

How much physical energy does it ACTUALLY cost you to worry about the future?
Dr Martin Picard's research argues stress isn't just a mental weight - it's an expensive biological tax on your cells.
In his lab, when human cells were exposed to stress hormones, the energy cost of just staying alive inside those cells shot up by 60% (He’s also the scientist whose team literally sliced a human brain into 703 cubes just to map how energy moves through it 🤯)
You have a stressful morning, a difficult conversation, or a few anxious thoughts you can't shake, and by 2pm you feel completely drained. Your mind is tired, but your cells are genuinely exhausted.
Dr Martin Picard is a Professor of Behavioural Medicine at Columbia University and I sat down with him to understand how our emotions and lived experiences physically change the mitochondria inside us - the tiny structures responsible for producing all the energy we rely on.
My energy has always felt a bit like roulette. Some days I wake up feeling incredible, other days I feel like I've done the exact same things but I've got nothing in the tank.
Martin completely reframed how I look at this. Energy isn't just a biological default; it's one of the most important scientific questions of our lives.
We discussed things like:
- Why you can do everything “right” (sleep, diet, exercise) and still wake up completely exhausted.
- The physical tax of stress and what a single anxious morning does to your cells.
- Why mitochondria are the missing link behind burnout, depression, and chronic fatigue.
- What actually dictates your cellular energy day-to-day.
- The truth about whether fasting, meditation, deep purpose and relationships can rewrite your biology.
This is a conversation about understanding what your body is constantly responding to where your energy is actually going and why so many of us feel tired in ways that more sleep or more food don't always solve.
If you feel flat, anxious, or exhausted and can't explain why - this one's for you.
‘How to find the 10x themes before everyone else’
We released a webinar last week.
We redid the webinar because I thought the first one was not good at all.
If you watched the first one, or haven’t watched either, do watch the recut.
It’s far, far better than the first

We've been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket's origins and ambitions to date.
We found that Polymarket's "official" origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built "the company in his bathroom", is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu's niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it's not the only thing either.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel's efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA's Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House.

Someone is selling 313 acres (127 hectares) of protected forest in Catalonia for €765k ($888k). There's an 18th-century farmhouse in the middle of it.
The estate sits inside Les Gavarres, a protected natural area covering nearly 29,000 hectares. A few properties exist here, but this place has no neighbours and no noise. You can see the Mediterranean and the Medes Islands from here.
The farmhouse is 787 m² (8,470 sq ft), partially restored. Attached to the main house are 400+ m² of original structures, currently in ruins, so work is needed. The forest produces cork, with a harvesting management plan already in place.
What it doesn't have is grid electricity. But that's not an issue in 2026: get solar panels, Starlink and run the whole thing off-grid with no bills, no grid, no landlord.
35 minutes from the Costa Brava, 30 from Girona and 1h 20 from Barcelona.
Funny enough, someone reached out to me recently looking for a place where a multi-generational family can live and work - fully self-sufficient, off-grid, doomsday-proof. This might be it.

"Bitcoin isn't backed by anything."
Let me stop you right there.
Bitcoin is backed by energy. Real energy. Kilowatts. Heat. Physics.
The kind of backing you can't print, fake, or vote into existence at an emergency Fed meeting.
Every block mined is a thermodynamic proof of work. Not a promise. Not a policy. Proof.
The issuance schedule has never been amended by a committee. Not once. Not ever. Because there is no committee.
There's just math. Cold, indifferent, and immune to political theater.
The network is secured by more raw computing power than anything humanity has ever built. Hundreds of exahashes per second standing guard. Every single day.
Now let's talk about what is backed by nothing.
The dollar.
It's is backed by confidence. Specifically, confidence in the institution that printed $6 trillion in two years while telling you 3% inflation was healthy and you should be grateful for the soft landing.
In the same people who can't pass an audit.
Who fund wars with a credit card.
Who promise solvency while sitting on $39 trillion in debt and accelerating.
"Backed by nothing" isn't an attack on Bitcoin.
It's a confession about the dollar.
Follow if you're serious about building wealth they can't print away.
🇺🇸 The CIA was studying the human mind. People just found out.
A woman pulled up a declassified CIA document on camera and found a section that tells you to close your eyes, focus on your pain, and repeat "55515" in your head until the pain fades and becomes "no longer important."
That's in a real government document. Filed, classified, and eventually released without anyone making much noise about it.
The same file references sleep techniques, memory enhancement and consciousness experiments, all part of the CIA's Gateway Process, a program built around pushing the limits of what the human mind can do.
Nobody announced it. Nobody explained it. It just sat there in the archives until someone went looking.
Now the internet wants to know what else is in those files.
