Was thinking of just Google from the web some bitcoin and phoenix on fire's photo or simply get it from sites like pixabay.com. Then this idea of why not ask chatGPT and get it from midjourney, just to find out that midjourney is in subscription mode only now. Googled around and found wepik. The steps are simple and user friendly. The pricing is reasonable and relatively cheap compared with the conventional model of engaging a "logo designer, " let alone the time needed to communicate and the forth-and-back processes just to get the right image done. In other words, cost-wise, time-wise, more effective, and efficient. It was done within minutes. How soon will you be replaced by AI? The most important fundamental skills today are: 1. Ask the right question 2. Give the clearest instruction besides critical thinking. Just my 2 sats.

Connecting The Dots So this is the story mainstream media is orchestrating, paving the way for the entrance of the empire's troops. Speaks for itself: Current BTC Price (As of 9th Jan, 2024) vs ATH  World's Top 10 BTC Holder Spot Bitcoin ETF Fees Bidding War BTC ETF and AUM Where will the BTC price go? My guess is as good as yours. The most important question is not where BTC would go but rather who you are and where you want to go. Volatility is inevitable. Know your position, your ability, and your risk appetite. There are very thin fine lines between investors, speculators, and gamblers. Current BTC Price vs ATH Winning rewards is narrowing. Simple math.  ATH = $67k $67k-$47k=$20k. $20k/$47k= ~42% IF ATH revisited, towards ATH from here, upside win ~ 42%, ~$20k for every BTC. In the worst case, BTC becomes $0, totally lost, or ~$47k for every BTC. What if ATH is revisited and the bull charges toward the new ATH? There will be price discovery after the new ATH. Some said 100k

After completing the first round of content uploads, I found two interesting map images below to sum up the Bangkok trip from 22nd Dec 2023 to 26th Dec 2023. Clarity leads to power. In Early 2023, setting the goal to travel to at least one country per month resulted in traveling to 7 countries as the year concluded. Korea Japan Taiwan Hong Kong Indonesia Thailand Singapore There is a difference between setting goals and not setting goals.  The trip to Bangkok was made because, looking at the goal set and what had been achieved, the urge is there to achieve a better "result." It's A Big Big World  Current footprints are still around Asia. 2023 report card, 7/12 (58%) vs 12/12 (100%). Fo
