From “Making It” to “Now What?”

Been a while since I sent out my last Substack article. Not because I am tired of writing, but because I’ve been reflecting on what’s next in my life, and thus also the direction of my newsletter. Currently in Switzerland at the moment, and will live here until October before I make a new decision about whether I want to extend my stay and move here permanently

When “Enough” Isn’t Enough: Thoughts On Life And What I’m Planning To Build Next

What happens after you “make it” and the hunger that drove you there starts to fade? This is me thinking out loud about what comes next: redefining goals, treating wealth like a high‑level sport, and deciding where, and how, I actually want to live. If you’ve ever wondered what the real game is after financial freedom, this is my attempt to map it out in public.

Today, I wanted to explore the AI token everyone is talking about, TAO (Bittensor), and how you buy TAO Subnet coins. With that said, my posting about this might be the top. You are warned, anon!

How AI Will Change The World In The Next 36 Months

AI crossed a major line in February 2026: it's now smart enough to improve itself. Half of entry-level office jobs could disappear in the next few years. Here's what you need to know and do before the window closes. And what to invest in (NFA!).

What Happens When You Finally Stop Playing Safe

I still remember that day. February 2021, 5 years ago now. I was a manager in an engineering company during the COVID lockdown, and everyone worked from home. This Monday, I called my boss. “I’m leaving. I quit.”

Why NOYA AI Might Be the Interface Crypto Has Been Missing

Crypto is finally going mainstream, but only because we’re stripping away its hidden complexities. For years, users have struggled with friction, fragmented tools, and confusing DeFi workflows that drove most away. NOYA AI is changing that, merging artificial intelligence with DeFi to make onchain execution effortless, intelligent, and accessible to everyone.

Why I Don't Think Real Estate Is A Good Investment In A Digital World

I think the next 5 years will be a lot harder for the average man. Without any edge or skills that make you stand out (specific knowledge) + fewer jobs than ever before due to the introduction of AI and robotics, why should they choose you for the job?
