Disclaimer
I firmly believe that every writer, blogger, journalist, or reporter should disclose their beliefs and ambitions. To lead by example, I want to provide you with 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 considered financial advice. Any opinions from content provided through interviews, shares, or external guests are their own.
It doesn’t matter whether I publish a review or analyze the current market; I always aim to include a link, notes, and my sources in 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 June 2025, 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. A premium newsletter may be 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 for 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 USDT. 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.
But don’t worry. It’s been a long time when I was last paid in any of these shitcoins (sorry for the aggressive approach) and if there were an opportunity, I would most likely tell them to pay me in BTC or USDT.
Political Views
As I stated in the About Me page, I don’t believe in the ‘Left or Right’ narrative, as this isn’t objective. It heavily depends on where you are in the world. For example, my healthcare views might be considered extreme in the US but average in Europe.
Generally speaking, my political orientation is that of a libertarian. I believe in liberty and the pursuit of happiness with full prosperity for the individual. 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.
