“I have no technical ability. And I know nothing about music.”Rick Rubin
According to music producer Rick Rubin, he can barely play any instruments. However, artists seek him out for “the confidence I have in my taste and my ability to express what I feel.” – Source: CBSN
📨 A newsletter edition: Crypto Networks Are Flourishing Amid The National Banking Crisis
“In the face of the US and European banking crises, bitcoin’s price appreciation suggests that lax regulatory oversight had no impact on the decentralized, transparent, and auditable crypto asset ecosystem. Quite the opposite, bitcoin and other crypto assets are acting like safe havens. Last weekend, when many banks were closed and others were facing bank runs, Bitcoin didn’t skip a beat: it settled ~$33 billion, facilitated ~600k transactions, issued 2,037 new BTC at a steady and predictable ~1.8% inflation rate, attracted ~1 million new addresses, and generated $43 million for miners securing the network.”
📑 An article: How to Get Over the Fear of Creating Things by Nat Eliason
“for every one negative person, there are a hundred quietly cheering you on.”

📹 A TV Series: Shrinking
This week, I watched the first episode of the TV series “Shrinking” and found it impressive. It will most likely be my next favorite series. Here’s the synopsis: A therapist who is grieving starts telling his clients precisely what he thinks, disregarding his training and ethics. He discovers that he has made significant changes to people’s lives, including his own.
If there is something that you think is of interest or use, share it with you friends and family 🙂
👋 See you next week, have a great weekend!
