Once upon a time, before the Covid, my friends and I had the perfect weekend. On Friday evenings, after work, we loaded up the cars and drove along the Odessa coast - from Odessa itself to Karolino-Bugaz, Zatoka, Sergeyevka and even Lebedevka ππ. We pitched tents right on the sand, pitched an awning, and in the morning - the sea, the sun, the beach, and not a single thought about business ποΈβοΈ
During the day, we grilled kebabs on coals π, collected mussels near the shore and cooked them with herbs in a pot buried in the sand ππ². In the evening - board games π², a bottle of whiskey π₯, long conversations under the flickering of a flashlight in the tent β¨. Everything was simple and real. Those weekends became our best escapes from the city, which we still remember - with a smile, warmth and a little nostalgia ππ 0 reply

I recently joined /ethos-network (app.ethos.network) it's a Web3 project that aims to build an honest reputation on the blockchain.
How it works - four simple tools:
1. Review - Users give β+β, β-β or neutral ratings to others. Each such rating is not critical individually, but together it affects reputation.
2. Vouch - You put ETH under another person, saying βI am responsible for himβ. This greatly increases his reputation, but you take a risk - if he is caught scamming, your ETH can be written off.
3. Slash - If someone is really shitting themselves - the community can suggest slashing them - taking away some of their ETH. You need proof and a vote. If wrong - you get penalized. Balance of risks .
4. Attestation - You can link social networks or wallets to your Ethos account. Makes reputation more credible. False attestation - moral or financial penalty .
Credibility Score
All of these actions generate a number between 0 and ~2800:
* 0-799 - Untrusted
* 800-1199 - Questionable
* 1200-1599 - Neutral (starting level)
* 1600-1999 - Reputable
* 2000-2800 - Exemplaryβ¨
This score can be seen right in the profile - you can see at a glance whether you can trust a person or whether it is better to stay away.
In simple words:
Ethos is like an online reputation, but honest and transparent: "Look - this figure vouched for others, got reviews, got points. And this one - he's already been slapped once. You have to be careful."
It's not a social network, it's a Web3 trust infrastructure. Get the drift? If something is not clear - show me, we'll analyze a specific point. 1 reply

Amsterdam blew my mind. I had seen photos before, but nothing prepared me for the scale of the bike culture. Entire bike parking lots, layered like a cake. Thousands of bikes in one place β and thatβs totally normal here. π³π±π²
Here are some wild and fun facts I learned about bikes in Amsterdam:
π² There are more bikes than people
Amsterdam has about 900,000 people and over 1 million bikes. Most locals own more than one!
π The city is built for cycling
Over 500 km of bike lanes, separate traffic lights, bridges, and even multi-level bike parking β like the one I saw.
π About 15,000 bikes are pulled from canals every year
Yes, you read that right. Blame it on wind, parties, or poor parking decisions.
π Bike theft is a huge issue
Around 100,000 bikes are stolen each year. People usually lock their bikes twice β and sometimes ride beat-up ones just to avoid theft.
π§ They ride in all weather, with anything
Rain or shine, youβll see folks cycling to work, to a date, with groceries, or even with a dog and two kids in tow. 4 replies
