Musk will probably become the first trillionaire ever in 2026.
Can you imagine what one trillion is? Me neither.
Well, maybe there is a way to make it easier. Check is out (you need to subscribe to read the entire post, but it's free):

🆕 blog! “Where is Bitcoin?”
Happy Birthday Bitcoin! At the risk of awakening long-dormant beasts, it looks like Bitcoin has failed for day-to-day transactions. So I've a simple question to ask - can you meaningfully spend any cryptocurrency in your city centre?
A few months ago, my wife and I went on a 30 day Interrail holiday across Europe. 10 countries, over a dozen cities, making over a…

Happy New Years pocket friends!
A year ago, I began microblogging about my #NoBuyYear2025 where my family made a commitment to reduce our consumption of non-essentials. I definitely can say I am so happy we did this. It has totally changed the way I think about #shopping and #money and #consumerism.
We thought of it as a traffic light system. We had a ‘green list’ which was what we decided was essential and we were allowed to buy. Then we had an ‘orange list’ which meant we looked second-hand first and only elevated it to buying new if we had to, then, well, red for non-essentials is a bit self explanitory isn’t it? Each person also got an allowance that was exempt from these rules.
At first, I thought of posting about all the things I bought each month. I stopped that after February because I realised that the idea was more about what I wasn’t buying and about changing my relationship with consumerism.
In this year, I learned that I can be much happier with much less, and I stopped feeling constant anxiety and stress over money; even when my income dipped to the lowest it’s ever been for a few months in 2025.
Gonna have another post in the next few days about my intentions for the next year.
So, what are your aspirations for the coming year?

Question for anyone out there on the #Fediverse .
Is there any kind of #FediverseBusinessAssociation ? A group of folks pulling to run businesses either on the fediverse or supporting the fediverse or anything?
Right now we're all separated and attempting to figure out how to fund the Fediverse and how to make money ON the Fediverse. But do we have a group where we can all discuss what does and doesn't work?
Gather the experiences of people that have run businesses in the past and all work together to figure this out?

A periodical reminder that the Coca-Cola Company murdered union leaders in Colombia and Guatemala, and is complicit in many other human rights abuses in several countries, including child labour.
And that's before we mention their leading role in filling our land and sea with plastic.
They are quite literally poisoning everyone: human, plant and animal. While making billions and avoiding taxes.
Remember that next time they pull out the cute polar bear ads.

OK - despite the fact that #money is *pretty* tight right now, I did a pledgey thing. I don't do pledgey things very often... I think the last thing I pledged was the #Pebble watch. Which I loved, and so did lots of other folks. So, this means I have incredible taste, and you should definitely do a pledgey thing too. Put your #fediverse millions into @bonfire c/o their Indiepledgey place... here
