My second brain
Can you remember the last time you used Google as a search engine? I have to dig deep for that one. Over the past few months, AI has become my daily sparring partner.

And what surprised me most: that same efficiency creates room for what actually matters in my work, namely personal contact and relationship management.

From Ugly Duckling to Swan
For a long time, the crypto industry was the ugly duckling of the financial world. Traditional institutions and the media treated it like a Calimero, that cartoon chick forever protesting that the big ones are picking on the little one. An obnoxious adolescent, its excesses every bit as ripe as a fifteen-year-old's armpits. But now that institutional investors and banks are increasingly embracing the value of crypto technology, it's high time we put that aggrieved chirping behind us once and for all. Let's just call it what it is: a swan among swans.

Fortnightly, written by people who work in the crypto space every day. With an opinion, without a dogma. And with the conviction that good analysis is scarce, but needed more than ever.
