Disclaimer
I strongly believe that every writer, blogger, journalist, or reporter should disclaim what their beliefs and ambitions are. To lead by example, I want to do the same and give you as much information as possible.
Opinions and Sources
All views and opinions stated on this blog are mine and are to be treated as such. They’re not looked at as financial advice. Any opinions from content provided through interviews, shares, or external guests are their own.
It doesn’t matter if I publish a review or analyze the current market, I always aim to add a link, notes, and my sources to the article. If links were removed or sources are missing, don’t hesitate to reach out and let me know.
Funding and Holdings
As of September 2024, my funding is split between my salary at Relai and some freelance work I still do on the side.
Readers will have the option to donate to my work, obviously by sending some Sats, but they shouldn’t feel pressured to pay for the content. There might be a premium newsletter on the horizon. However, you would be the first to read about this.
In terms of payment, I intend to pay for every trip I take or service I need to do my work. This is how I can be most relatable and give honest opinions by paying out of my pocket. Most of my work is paid in Fiat, BTC, or USDC. Yes, at times, I get paid using a stablecoin.
The only decentralized currency I hold is BTC. For projects where I get paid in their own tokens, I’ll exchange them for stablecoins. If I were given tokens for free, I would disclose them in the article or review and always exchange them for either stablecoins or BTC.
Political Views
I don’t believe in the ‘Left or Right’ narrative, as this isn’t objective. It heavily depends on where in the world you are. For example, my healthcare views might be considered extreme in the US but average in Europe.
Generally speaking, if I have to fit into the modern world of choosing sides, I’m leaning more toward the conservative viewpoint of the world. I oppose communism and hate socialism, but I also realize that extremes emerge on the other side of the aisle.
I oppose a government-heavy society where no individuality has room. However, on the other end, I think specific rules have to apply. I don’t oppose constitutions or laws but view them as incentives and not as the holy grail. We need a framework to operate in. Otherwise, you would find yourself in total anarchy.
In economic terms, I strongly believe in an open market and think the government should be there to aid that market, not hinder it. Everyone should be able to look after themselves and make their own decisions. Whether they’re up to this task is a totally different question.
