Kinda a big deal, two super important days in one, and on the weekend.

the last day to file tax stuff in the west just passed this week as well. and the markets improved by friday with the pay day pump.
i learned about $baby a few days ago, launch was earlier this month. Native btc staking chain, prob nothing but its new and shiny. currently $0.07 at time of writing. i may scoop a lil as this venture seems a lil different from other btc staking thingys. whereas babylon $baby is native btc instead of a eth or sol liq layer hybrid protocol type thing. btc maxis don't really take to those. we've all seen seen a few over hyped hybrid ventures on those other chains that didn't do well last cycle.

today i realized that some protocols are the exact opposite of permission-less and/or privacy oriented. one of my favs from last cycle flat out says no vpn allowed to access staking incentives nowadays. was a surprise to see it on the page today, but kinda obvi why lol, especially since staking is a hot topic in the west as each state handles that gray area differently. ya know... fed type stuff lol. Which is fine while disappointing. Like, we're all getting closer to real objective of some crypto currency sectors; ties into the digitization of everything and thus, the ability to preemptively shut down the ability to buy/sell in the free market capitalist sense. we kinda have a preview with the automated banning of valid human accounts across the net. come to tink of it tho... the said protocol i was talking about is one those thingys that connects multiple chains... so yea makes sense that they want to have full scope on the washing of coins... like, ohhhh......

idk though aside from the crypto stuff, i've been finding good art/aesthetics i like a lot, in random places too. not really on social media, albeit one image site impresses me with aesthetics. but finding good stuff via irl and gaming ironically. some mmo open world maps do be inspiring sometimes. easy to look pass with combat but in chill areas art hits. in lost ark, shangra island is a great example of that natural cherry blossom mountain zen vibe. loved going there for tree and waterfall/stone references for art work. funny how that is when you slow down even in game. and with irl, i've been noticing how varied skylines can be. the sky's color palette at dawn and dusk are amazing, worth appreciating and referencing.
lowkey thinking of buying another dslr, like one of newer models with connectivity of some sort. but also thinking of getting into older film cameras. its easy to add vintage filters to edits but the old tech/ways are worth knowing. so, prob shop for both, pref nikon with the Japanese glass. photography is so calming, at least for me. just chill bro; wait, focus, picture. its like field work but you're capturing the scene without directly affecting it. no need to small talk with anyone, unless you're working with a human subject lol. and usually photography content can be used for sooo many things, with you owning the pub/copyright!!!!

build up your craft portfolios frens, try new things or switch it up and wut not. my flavor of tism makes it hard to stick to one medium or canvas. so its worth learning/honing your affliction to be a gift of sorts.

today having two holidays also presented a interesting duality. smoke all day for 420 or rest on Easter Sunday. oh and the twist of Adolf's bday but thats a whole can of worms with the negative crowd on social media lol. most people prob would have never cared to hear or know that angle of today's remembrance/celebrations etc etc.
but yea, many degens prob partied all day lol but they do that anyway [lol]. shout out to the bros/sisters in faith that did take a break for the Lord and cared. between you and me, anon; im in a weird place with quitting smoking but never losing faith. struggled for a while irl and things got heavier recently. which kinda makes ya wanna smoke or do wutever even more lol... but thats life for most people anyway so yeah never lose your faith and stay true to you and those you care about. no matter where or who you are, anon.
art and the chart help, but vices are like fuel for tism brains like ours, anon.

good news tho, it gets greater later and the crypto cycle is nearing that point of heating back up. for bros in the trenches don't forget to grab a new cold wallet and 2fa physical keys. and be careful with those tele bots, especially if you're more of a mobile trader. oh and remember, group chat is a farm of victims, issa good chance those people are not really your frens, so use different wallets regularly and don't post your wallet addy on any timeline/posts lol. i've seen guys do recon on whales and derp shit just off a simple search query for a wallet addy that they found in a tx list. shit had me like lmaoooo...
anyways, much love and happy Easter and 420 fam!
