Starting the day with a run before heading into the office

Kicked off the morning with a run before heading into the office, and it really set the tone for the day. Physical routine fuels mental discipline—something every trader needs.

Germany has a new chancellor: Friedrich Merz of CDU

Big political shift today—Germany officially welcomed Friedrich Merz of the CDU as the new chancellor.

It’s a significant change in direction, and I’ll be keeping an eye on how this affects both the EU market sentiment and economic policy. While not directly tied to crypto yet, political stability and leadership always ripple out to financial systems, including the digital space. Merz is known for a more business-focused approach, so this could lead to some interesting developments around regulation. Definitely a headline to watch in the coming weeks.

Withdrew 500 HIVE and delegated it to @lolzbot

Made a strategic move today by withdrawing 500 HIVE and delegating it to @lolzbot.

I’ve been watching how the bot rewards delegators, and it looks like a solid opportunity for passive returns. Instead of just letting those HIVE tokens sit idle, they’re now working for me in the background. It’s all about maximizing every asset, especially in a market that’s constantly shifting. Looking forward to tracking the returns and possibly scaling that delegation up if it performs well.
