A technique that changed my life: In the middle of scrolling, worrying, or spiraling — pause and ask yourself: "Is this kind to me?" If the answer is no, you'll automatically stop. You're doing one thing: turning your mind from external locus of control to internal. That's the whole game.

Your brain can rewire itself at any age. Most people think it's too late to change. They're wrong. Neuroplasticity doesn't have an expiration date.

No part of the brain is ever static. In fact, no part of biology is ever static. It’s always changing… The question is, what direction is it being changed in?

John Sarno was a maverick of a doctor who predicted an epidemic of chronic pain in the 70s. Today, chronic pain costs more than heart disease, diabetes and cancer combined. Yet, he famously cured thousands without any drugs or surgery. Here's what he did differently:🧵

The structural problems causing the current massive unstaking event on Ethereum are impossible on Cardano. Its native liquid staking is inherently more stable and superior to Ethereum's risk-prone lock-up model.🧵

BitGo sits down with @IamIanKane, Head of Partnerships at @MidnightNtwrk, to learn how they are building the next generation of blockchain infrastructure. Privacy, compliance, and institutional scale come together in a new approach to moving assets onchain.

I recently returned to social media after a short break and noticed an ongoing controversy about past voucher sales. In response, EMURGO would like to share the statement below.  
 First and foremost, I want to stress that @IOHK_Charles, after the voucher sales ended through Attain, spent the past seven years making genuine and significant efforts to ensure redemptions were delivered to all buyers. We have seen his dedication firsthand. I personally have followed up with past connections and worked hard to ensure everyone was contacted, as thoroughly as possible.   To the best of my knowledge, I haven’t seen another project show this level of integrity in handling responsibilities after a voucher sale. Nor have I met a leader as visionary, transparent, and broad-minded as Charles.   This issue might, in part, come from the decentralized structure, which lacks capital ties or a central governing body. However, it’s exactly because of this that we believe now is the time to confidently move forward—together—toward the future of decentralized governance, rooted in shared values and mutual collaboration.   Pulling each other down won’t help us move forward. Let’s direct our time and energy toward constructive discussions and aim for significant growth—together.

Actually, you're missing the bigger picture of how Cardano approaches scalability. It's not just about relying on layer 2; it's about designing a holistic system that mimics natural ecologies where each component has a specialized role. First off, Cardano is actively enhancing its base layer with upgrades like Ouroboros Leios, which aims to significantly boost transaction throughput directly on the main chain. This is about making the heart of Cardano pump more efficiently without needing to outsource every function. But let's talk about layer 2 like Hydra. The point isn't that Cardano 'has to rely' on these solutions; it's that Cardano is designing a system where different layers serve different purposes, much like organs in a body. Hydra isn't a workaround for scaling; it's an evolution where specialized 'heads' can handle specific types of transactions or operations, leaving the main chain to focus on what it does best - providing a secure, decentralized ledger. Think of it this way: in nature, you wouldn't expect the heart to do the job of the liver or the lungs. Each organ specializes, and together they make the system work efficiently. Similarly, Cardano's approach isn't about a single layer trying to do everything; it's about interoperability and specialization. Layer 2 solutions like Hydra, Mithril, or partner chains are not signs of limitations but of foresight (written from the beginning), allowing for tailored solutions for different use cases while maintaining the integrity and security of the main chain. It's not about being 'stuck' with layer 2; it's about the design of more robust, scalable, and adaptable network.

🧵A thread... Stress is more than a buzzword; it's a health crisis that we've normalized. Despite widespread knowledge, daily actions often betray this understanding. ❤️‍🩹 Is this a lack of wisdom? Let's explore why managing your stress response is crucial for achieving optimal potential.

🚨 Just watched @IOHK_Charles on Bloomberg📺 talking about the future of blockchain legislation in the US! - He gave respect to the lawmakers who've long supported blockchain tech. - Shared about his constructive dialogues with both current and incoming administrations. - Explained some intricacies of legislative versus executive actions in the crypto space in a way that my grandma would probably understand (if she were still alive). - Emphasized the importance of collaboration for the growth of the blockchain industry, not just in the U.S. but worldwide. Charles' insight & delivery highlights his role as a leader in #crypto and a statesman for the broader #blockchain community, focusing on education, collaboration, and progress for all. #CryptoRegulation #Cardano #Innovation #Legislation

If you dwell in the Pacific Northwest region of North America - Join us for the upcoming workshop! Perhaps you haven't been active in learning about governance yet, this is a GREAT opportunity. You can observe, listen, and decide to actively participate to the extent you are comfortable. I genuinely believe this will be one of the best ways to familiarize yourself with #Cardano goverannce; to experience the conversation in-person. $ADA #Blockchain #Constitution

Couldn’t agree more with the book recommendation, but instead of only owning a license to listen through Audible - OWN YOUR $STUFF with @book_io; and BTW the mobile app is exceptional. book.io/book/the-iliad-audio…

The assertion that staked tokens on the Cardano network were at risk during a DDoS attack is fundamentally flawed and misleading. Cardano's Ouroboros protocol is a liquid staking system, meaning all staked tokens remain securely under the full custody of their individual owners. For a hacker to steal staked tokens, they would need to compromise each individual wallet, a scenario that is practically impossible. Unlike other networks where staking requires locking tokens into a smart contract, Cardano's design ensures that staked tokens are always controlled by their rightful owners. This structure significantly enhances participation and the security of staked assets. It is concerning to see reporting that introduces or encourages unnecessary fear regarding the safety of staked tokens on Cardano. Such claims are not only inaccurate but also irresponsible, as they misrepresent the robust security framework of the Cardano network. It is crucial for media to provide accurate information, particularly in the rapidly evolving field of blockchain technology, to prevent misinformation and undue alarm among stakeholders. #Cardano $ADA

Justin Bons is back on his engagement farming bullshit. Please don't amplify him. If he was interested in factual information he would have checked this with many of the SMEs who have offered to help him. Most of what he says in this thread is incorrect.

Just a reminder that the Federal Government has spent more than $100 billion on rural broadband access and internet still sucks in the vast majority of rural areas. Elon has spent less than $10 billion, is starting to make a profit, and I had internet while in the middle of the ocean hunting for aliens on the Silver Star.
