Bitcoin and cryptocurrency experienced a massacre over the weekend, with Bitcoin dropping over 50% from their all-time high of $64,000. The world of crypto is scary these days. Unregulated exchanges give novice traders virtually insane leverages such as 1:500. These exchanges thrive on expensive commissions and encourage inexperienced traders to over trade. Part of the … Read more

I am writing this week’s newsletter from Ecuador, where I have climbed several high altitude volcanoes including Cayambe (which is at 19,000 ft (5,800 m)).

As of Sunday, the Suez Canal is still being blocked by the notorious Ever Given ship. Several memes posted on Twitter last week explained how to go about solving this problem.

I would like to wish a Happy Nowruz to everyone who celebrates March 20, the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
