i don’t aim to be in the top 1%, but rather the 2%. let me explain: only 2% of people take the stairs instead of the elevator. only 2% of people read books instead of finding an ebook version of the same thing and listen to it passively on the subway. only 2% of people take the risk create original art instead of copying whatever already works. only 2% of people go to the gym consistently after the motivation disappears. only 2% of people choose difficult conversations over avoidance. only 2% of people build real skills instead of faking expertise online. only 2% of people delay gratification long enough to actually change their lives. and i honestly think that 2% ends up living a more fulfilled, meaningful and free life than a lot of people chasing the illusion of being top 1%.

i think the meta in 2026 is that people care about composability, safety and UX more than privacy or decentralisation. https://x.com/delphi_digital/status/2056393582643183752?s=46

i’m 1 week into training for hyrox and here’s how it’s going i’m not a runner, i’ve always been more of a lifter so we’re starting easy. the goal is to attempt my first hyrox this september, but realistically i’m aiming for april next year. right now i’m running 2km a day, 1km before my workout and 1km after. alongside that, my trainer has added a lot more endurance and grip work like farmers walks, dead hangs, lunges, burpees, wall balls. i’m still keeping my regular strength training in. over time, i want to build up to 4 to 5km runs outdoors and eventually 8km (so i can do the actual hyrox circuit) i’ve never really run before, so this has been genuinely hard especially with smoker lungs. maybe this is my sign to quit. first week wasn’t cute. my body crashed. suffered from cramps, my mind and body both wanted to give up, so much fatigue, all of it. but i have been adjusting. i started creatine, increased my carbs intake, more sleep. this week already feels better than last week. also dropped ~2kg in a week (running will do that lol), but i’m keeping an eye on not losing muscle. might even do a dexa scan soon so i can compare later. overall, i picked this up because i wanted to challenge myself physically. seeing people i know online and irl do hyrox made me feel like i could too. hopefully it goes well. will keep sharing the journey.
