“I don’t interest myself in why. I think more often in terms of when, sometimes where; always how much.” That line comes from Three Days of the Condor (1975) — the quote that first drew me to the film after hearing it referenced in Mr. Robot. It’s a fantastic watch: a sharp, tightly written spy thriller with strong pacing and compelling performances. The acting feels theatrical — not in the over-the-top sense, but in that classic, stage-like way where dialogue, tone, and delivery are deliberate and expressive. You don’t see that style much beyond the 1970s. Modern performances tend to lean toward realism, which I also appreciate. (I find actors like Matthew McConaughey and Robert De Niro as great representatives of this more realistic style.) If that kind of performance resonates with you, I’d give Three Days of the Condor a solid 8/10. Definitely worth your time.

Can Bitcoin Do Everything Ethereum Does? of explains that although Bitcoin isn’t designed like Ethereum to execute code, even today—without any soft fork or update—it’s technically possible to enable nearly ANY feature that Ethereum have and more!

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” — Lao Tzu I came across this quote several years ago and it left a deep mark on me. It lifted a huge weight off my shoulders and filled me with hope. Today, it came back to me again, repeating in my mind several times as a gentle reminder.

I once shared this on my Telegram channel, assuming it was just a meme. One of my friends checked out the account, and it turns out that similar content really does exist on that YouTube channel :)) There have been some tweaks for comic effect, but she actually has one or more posts about trading and this exact post about starting her career as an OnlyFans model.

Man, your shitposts are always the best :))))

Gattaca (1997) is a great piece of sci-fi cinema. Its style carries the elegance of film noir—moody, deliberate, and visually striking. The dialogue feels more theatrical than realistic (which I actually enjoy), and it draws you into a slow-burn mystery. It’s one of those sci-fi films I remember vividly from my childhood. What made it special was that my whole family liked it too! For years, all I could recall was the final scene, so rewatching it now felt like a refreshing rediscovery. I'm sure I'll revisit it again in a few years. A solid 8/10! #film #filmreview #cinema #filmstr

If I say even a little about the themes in Gold (2016), I might spoil some of the story and the mystery that awaits you. So I’ll keep this brief, so you can experience the film’s surprises for yourself and fully enjoy uncovering its twists. The main character, Kenny Wells, is played by Matthew McConaughey. While most avid film lovers recommend choosing movies based on their directors, McConaughey is one of those rare actors whose performances alone make a film worth watching. His acting style is distinct in every role he takes on and Gold is no exception. Kenny is the son of a self-made prospector who lived the American dream. After his father’s passing, Kenny sets out to follow in his footsteps and restore the company’s former glory, but ... . I’ll leave at that. The rest for you to discover and it is worht discovering. Gold is a solid 8 out of 10 — absolutely worth watching, and even rewatching. #filmstr #moviestr #filmreview #cinema

Pitched Bitcoin to a rather old gold-bug friend years ago and I thought he’d stay that way — that he’d never begin to understand Bitcoin and that’s fine. He’s a child of his own era. But a few days ago, he messaged me asking for help and recommendations on choosing and setting up a hardware wallet because he’d bought some Bitcoin and didn’t want to keep it on the exchange. When we met, I realized he’d done his homework. I knew it when he said, “Not your keys, not your coins!”

I don’t oppose memes. There are good ones, that even make you question things or even provide you with arguments and there are ones that just waste time.
