I've always found it amazing — I have so many friends who run businesses in unconventional niches, have teams of literally three people, make millions of dollars, and spend a couple of hours a day working on a computer or phone. And in their niche there's zero competition, none whatsoever. Everyone knows each other by heart, yet the market is beautiful in terms of revenue.

But at the same time, there are literally millions of marketplace sellers and just as many bloggers who, like freelancers, make ten grand a month max, if that, buried so deep in operations you'd think they held a key position in government corruption or at a bank.

People are amazing creatures — how alike we are, and how different our brains and thought processes are. Some are thinking about how to put satellites into Earth's orbit so the whole planet has internet, when we'll finally fly to Mars, and how to make space travel cheaper thanks to stages that return to Earth, while simultaneously building an electric car company. And others spend half their lives not knowing what to do with themselves, because work is somehow boring, and everything around them is a drag, and the only thought in their head is what tasty thing to eat and how to entertain themselves on a weekend evening — and it goes on like that their whole life…

I was reading your comments and questions about issuing a Binance card, ByBit cards + a neo-bank with Apple Pay integration 🎁

To issue the card, your account must be set to the corresponding region — mine are Armenia and Kazakhstan. You'll also need to verify a phone number from those countries.

Last year, when I visited Astana Hub as invited media press, Pavel Durov was speaking and Nurlan Saburov was hosting. During those couple of months I spent in Kazakhstan, some acquaintances helped me sort out the necessary paperwork for our company. I even have a post about it, thanking the capital's judges, the Prosecutor of Kazakhstan, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Baikonyr district of Astana for their help in obtaining the relevant documents.

Thanks to that, I now use not only the Kaspi ecosystem, but also the Freedom platform from banker Timur Turlov 💰

The world is currently heading toward being split into two kinds of highly intelligent beings: AI robots and humans. Meanwhile, globalization & capitalism are turning humanity into a single living organism striving to conquer the Universe, starting with our Solar System.

🐶 And on that note, I like what Sam Altman is doing right now — the new messiah of the human race, standing shoulder to shoulder with Musk and Dario Amodei. What I especially dig is OpenAI's subsidiary that launched World ID and World App (kind of reminiscent of what the Durov brothers wanted to build with Telegram, before they got sidetracked by crypto, women, and politics).

The new Money project, funded by ChatGPT money, has a pretty intriguing tagline: a financial "super-app for humans", bundling stablecoins, international transfers, investments, Earn programs, and virtual accounts. All of this feels like a glimpse into the future — a world already split between living beings with souls who've passed biometric verification, and AI humanoids carrying a GPU under the hood instead of a heart.

Starting in October, AI and Web3 conferences are gradually kicking off in the UAE 🇦🇪

These days I rarely attend any conferences, unlike in previous years when it was kind of a trend. I've lost interest in mass events like these. What inspires me more now are closed clubs and private gatherings — the kind you won't find anything about online, and where you can only get an invitation from other community members.

Still, I'll show up at a couple of public events: at the end of November, by invitation from CMS CardOS, and in the first half of December ➡️ at Blockchain Week.

Interesting read, check out this post, it's long but worth it. It might make you rethink some of your values.

And ask yourself: what are you working for, living for, right now? And if tomorrow were the last day of your life, could you say you have no regrets, and state with confidence that you've spent it doing your life's true work?

According to science, one of the most effective ways to get what you want lies in building alignment at the identity level.

Identity is a real neural network called the default mode network. It acts as the brain's operating system and constantly maintains an internal narrative about who a person is and what they deserve.

The mechanism of self-verification theory confirms that the psyche places consistency above benefit and always seeks confirmation of a familiar self-image. If external achievements sharply deviate from the internal setting, the thermostat effect kicks in, returning the system to its habitual state through self-sabotage and cognitive dissonance.

Results match personality due to the mechanisms of selective attention and predictive coding.

The brain physically filters the flow of information through the model of self, which is why opportunities that don't match the current role literally go unnoticed.

Through predictive coding, the brain predicts reality based on the identity image and adjusts attention to fit that forecast. This forms a self-fulfilling prophecy, where automatic behavior triggers the expected reaction from the world and ultimately locks in the current identity. Changing the self-model happens through a combination of truthful actions and detailed work with the imagination.

Since a detailed internal simulation is often indistinguishable from reality for the brain, this allows the self-model to be rewritten bypassing the critical filter. The brain is finally convinced of the changes when self-perception theory comes into play.

The psyche observes real micro-steps taken from the new role and draws a conclusion about who the person has become. Gradually, such repeated signals strengthen the brain's neural circuits and make the new result a natural consequence of the personality.
