Dad’s day off 2X
Reading Time: 4 minutes I’ve been a little stressed at work lately, so I decided to take a day off to watch “Dune: Part Two” in theaters. That was today. But then at the end of last week, I happened to see there was this Stand With Crypto thing in Hollywood, so last minute I decided to take yesterday […]
On having kids
Reading Time: 4 minutes I wasn’t one of those guy who imagined himself with a family. I had a friend who always talked about having a bunch of kids when he got married, but the thought had never even occurred to me. Maybe because I thought I was going to die young. For some reason I’d gotten it into […]
Pickled: A Short Story
Reading Time: 3 minutes One of my most vivid memories growing up was something that happened to me in the seventh grade. I’d just started attending this new junior high school where I didn’t know anyone. To get there, I had to ride the school bus for over an hour each way since my stop just so happened to […]
The Intellectual Property Question
Reading Time: 6 minutes Like most people, I never really gave much thought to the idea of intellectual property before. I just accepted it was part of our lives, and that it was really no different from regular property. For example, if you write a book, or a song, or discover a new drug that cures a disease, or […]
On Fatherhood
Reading Time: 4 minutes A couple of months ago, I made my oldest son cry. Not just a few tears, but full on balling as if he’d been told his mom had died. It started in the car after I picked him up from tennis practice. I arrived a little early so I could watch, and let’s just say […]
Turning over a new leaf
Reading Time: 2 minutes As some of you may know, I’ve been dealing with covid for the past week or so. At first I didn’t think it was covid at all since what I felt wasn’t flu-like symptoms, but something much worse. It started when I woke up in the middle of the night with severe vertigo. I felt […]
eCash $XEC: Wen moon? A discussion on the price of XEC
Reading Time: 8 minutes So recently in the eCash telegram channel, there was quite a bit of arguing about how high people think the price of XEC can get, and how long it might take to get there. I don’t necessarily think this is a bad thing since it implies people have high expectations for the project, but I […]
Building the eCash Community
Reading Time: 4 minutes This wasn’t the article I’d planned on writing next. But the idea for this post came to me while watching Bitconned, the Netflix documentary about the Centra scam I recently reviewed. There’s this scene when the guy they hired to be their CFO–the former male stripper–is tasked with answering questions from the thousands of Centra […]
Quick Review: Bitconned
Reading Time: 3 minutes I recently watched “Bitconned”, the new Netflix documentary about the con artists behind the scam cryptocurrency project Centra. I have to admit it just might be the best crypto related documentary I’ve ever seen. This despite the fact that the movie isn’t really about cryptocurrencies at all, but rather the sad state of our current […]
eCash and Mass Adoption
Reading Time: 4 minutes Many have asked how eCash will achieve mass adoption. While it’s impossible to provide a definitive answer, what follows are a few scenarios that I can imagine. Scenario One The first is what I would consider the most optimistic, and I will call it the Hayek scenario after the famed economist Friedrich Hayek, who said: […]
