On Being "Good Enough"
Some people have the good fortune to not only have natural aptitude for something, but to also have the drive to reach brilliance. They are the ones we end up watching on the news and read document...
What is "Saving," Anyway?
Maybe I am "wired" differently from the rest of the world, but when I think about the word "saving," it brings to mind setting money (or food, or something else) aside for future use; creating a st...
Lies and Propaganda... and Numbers
I sometimes wonder what it says about our world that virtually everything has to be marketed or sold with at least a partial — if not complete — lie attached. I can only surmise that it has become ...
Hive, KE and What We Support — "Extended" KE?
I was thinking about Hive's pervasive decline — at least in terms of token price — and some of the metrics we have available to assess who's doing what. I'll start by saying that I do think the "KE...
Just Sellers, no Buyers
One of the things I learned from years of trading in collectibles is that something can be quite rare and yet not have very much value. Unless somebody actually cares about that rarity it doesn't r...
False Advertising — What is Even the POINT?
I was checking my email this morning — as I do pretty much every morning — and it struck me just how much of what was in my inbox could be described as pure false advertising. Or maybe we should ev...
A Matter of Hope
Why do we choose to do a thing; anything? Whether it's building a business, an investment portfolio or even a Hive profile and account, we are motivated by something. Typically, people have a myria...
Hive Turning Point?
Earlier today, I watched our Hive token dip to another new all-time low at $0.04193, and found myself contemplating the question of whether we were getting near some kind of bottom or whether we sh...
It's Just a Couple of Dollars!
Because I have always been a bit of a numbers geek — even though I might not be too worried about setting goals these days — I always like to look at numbers and do comparisons. Today, during a bre...
Goal Setting in Turbulent Times
Sometimes I wonder how meaningful it even is to set goals during turbulent and very unpredictable times. To be honest, it feels a bit futile when you live in a world where you can wake up tomorrow ...
What Do We Chase?
I was recently told by a friend of mine — who also happens to be a psychologist — that I seem to be highly "self-referencing." I wasn't entirely sure what that meant, and after doing some research....
Easier Than Expected?
We spend a lot of time moaning and groaning about life being difficult, and I'll admit there is no doubt that most of us are facing constant challenges and struggles. If you go through social media...
Rewards For Content: Trying a Little Too Hard?
It might sound like I'm trying to criticize the goose that is laying the proverbial golden eggs, but sometimes I really have to wonder about the whole monetization and rewarding content creators fo...
Are We All Just Circling the Drain?
While I am well aware that the news media is filled with "tragic stories" because that's what sells subscriptions or secures page views, it feels like every day we turn around there's another dooms...
Sticking to the Plan, Even in the Darkest Hour
I saw a crypto related headline a couple of days ago that "Even Michael Saylor is selling Bitcoin!" If the world's biggest Bitcoin Maximalist is selling, then these must be dark days, indeed! Let u...
