The St George banking app is a hot, steaming mess and I’m so glad I left that bank. Crypto wallets are more intuitive to use.

Gold has officially crossed into bearish territory after a multi-year bull run. History shows us that it isn’t bearish for long. I’d be interested to see how long it stays bearish after such a huge blow off top.

I put my wages into the stock market or BTC to preserve them from inflation/grow them with time. Those wages are already taxed, it’s a false comparison. The amount of growth required to get a good chunk of money minus taxes was already insane.

I do a lot of technical reviews and filling in templates filled with information. I use “workslop” (auto-filling things with AI) and then come back to fix it up with my human brain. It makes it easier to fix something instead of starting from scratch. If that makes sense?
