  • During a time of crisis, I came across what I thought was a legitimate charity online. They had a professional-looking website, emotional stories, and even testimonials from supposed donors. They claimed the funds were being used to support families in need, and it really tugged at my heart. I made a donation, then another, and soon after they kept reaching out with urgent appeals. Every message made me feel like I was directly helping vulnerable people, so I gave more than I could really afford... more

  • I've been investing for years, both in traditional markets and in crypto. I always considered myself smart enough to spot red flags, but the truth is, even experienced investors can fall victim to the right scam. That's exactly what happened to me. The platform I dealt with looked professional in every way. They had a sleek website, convincing support staff, and even showed me trading dashboards that looked legitimate. I tested them with a smaller deposit and was even able to withdraw at first. ... more

  • On the Chopping Block…

    Overall, Unchained is great. Shin is an excellent interviewer and most of the time “in the loop”

    On all topics being covered. She does an excellent job of setting guests up and giving them time to follow through and elaborate.

    The other shows, the round tables with the macro guys.. those can be brutal listens sometimes. The pretentiousness from some of them is blatant and at times they will start speaking over each other, even guests. They ramble &.. just a very disjointed and strange show. So... more

  • Low quality Solana shells

    Shin is an atrocious interviewer. She is often misinformed, spreads that misinformation and is generally just parrots VC and crypto twitter propaganda. Bits and Bips is pretty good though.

When AI Agents Take Over, What Does a Post-Human Economy Look Like?
Q: What types of work do you think are best positioned to flourish in the transition phase and in the post-human economy?
Jobs that involve understanding human emotions and genuinely connecting with others will likely thrive, as machines cannot replicate these qualities. Others suggest that a future economy may involve people working as independent operators in personal/community spans, rather than in traditional corporate roles.
