• Winners of the week: Oracle impressed with strong numbers and a solid outlook; Apple benefited from excitement around a foldable iPhone; DBS and Qualcomm were supported by positive analyst commentary and a new AI partnership.
• Losers of the week: Rheinmetall was put on J.P. Morgan's negative catalyst watch; Novartis, Cooper Companies, American Eagle Outfitters, and Adobe disappointed with weak guidance or sales.

• The bears argue: The Iran conflict is escalating, oil is climbing well above $100, U.S. diesel hit a record high, and bond yields are at levels last seen in 2007. Add expected rate hikes from the ECB and Fed, a high equity risk indicator, and warnings from AI researchers – they see a major correction ahead.
• The bulls counter: Inflation data was far from catastrophic – core inflation only slightly overshot expectations. A September rate hike is already 90 % priced in. Moreover, valuation indicators show many stocks are trading at bear-market levels, while corporate earnings are breaking out of a 90-year channel, supported by AI.

• According to Goldman Sachs, the global supply gap has narrowed from around 7 million barrels per day in March to only about 1 million – thanks to lower demand and increasing bypass capacity.
• Despite the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, around two-thirds of the pre-war level is still being delivered using alternative routes and unofficial shipments. Still, about 9–10 million barrels per day are missing.
• The world is adapting: North and South America plus new bypass capacity could significantly relieve the oil market by 2027. Iran itself is under massive pressure: oil exports are collapsing, the currency is falling, and inflation stands at 66 %.

• Base scenario (55 %): Availability of 75–85 % of the pre-war level → Brent at $80–90.
• Positive scenario (25 %): Availability of 90–100 % → Brent between $65 and $80.
• Negative scenario (20 %): Availability of only 35–45 % → Brent above $120 with significant economic consequences.

• Bitcoin has recovered and formed a golden cross – historically a bullish signal.
• AI remains a key theme: first-hand experience with AI in business and strong Korean export data point to continued opportunities.
• The channel is critically reviewing its portfolio: LVMH and Novo Nordisk were removed because their stock performance was poor.
• It is important not only to think about what to buy, but also about what not to hold in your portfolio.

• Many variables affect extraction: pouring speed, height, laminar vs. turbulent flow, contact points, etc.
• Even seemingly consistent pouring often leads to inconsistent results.

• A device that maintains constant water flow – regardless of pouring technique.
• Consists of a water reservoir and a chamber below with a dispersion screen.
• Water accumulates and drips at a steady, predictable rate (max. ~1.5 g/s) onto the coffee bed.
• Similar to a Melodrip, but with fixed flow – no speeding up or slowing down.

• Prevents clogging: Gentle saturation reduces fines migration, improving filtration.
• Cleaner cups: The coffee bed acts as an additional filter, enhancing clarity and reducing bitterness.
• Reproducibility: One variable (pour rate) is eliminated; focus shifts to grind size and water temperature.

1. Bare kettle bloom (15 g coffee, 60 g water), then Gabby for the rest (165 g)
   • Water temperature: 88 °C → drops to ~78 °C during brew.
   • Brew time: about 3 minutes.
   • Result: 1.3 TDS, 16% extraction – preferred for light roasts, emphasizing floral and acidic notes.
2. Finer grind, same recipe
   • Extraction rises to 20.5% with 1.65 TDS.
   • More body and sweetness, but less nuance.
3. Single pour (12 g coffee, 200 g water) – to emulate cupping
   • Water temperature 83 °C, very coarse grind, well-rested coffee required.
   • Extraction approx. 17% at 1.15 TDS – very clear flavor separation.

• The Gabby Drip Master A is a tool for consistency – ideal for quality control or when you want to ditch the gooseneck kettle.
• Personal favorite: bloom with bare kettle, then use Gabby – yields the most balanced cups.
• Low extraction (around 16%) is preferred to highlight complexity and vibrancy, but higher extractions are easily achieved with a finer grind.

The case of Liz Barraza: On January 25, 2019, the 29-year-old was shot dead in front of her house in Tomball, Texas. Despite video footage and extensive investigations, the murder remains unsolved.

• Early morning: Liz is preparing a garage sale; her husband Sergio leaves for work at 6:48 AM.
• 6:47 AM: A dark Nissan Frontier (2013–2019) parks nearby; a disguised person gets out.
• Shots: After a brief conversation (Liz says a friendly

This video explains how to actually build and preserve multi-generational wealth using crypto. It highlights the key differences between wealth creation and wealth preservation, offering a clear strategy.

🔍 The Four Critical Questions for Project Selection

• Real users? Does the project have active users?
• Reason to exist? Would it be missed if it disappeared?
• Demand independent of token price? Does utility remain during sideways markets?
• Value flow to the token? Is there a mechanical reason the token benefits?

Examples:

• Hyperliquid: Strong fee revenue ($419M in H1 2026), automatic buybacks. A real "cash flow" asset.
• Zcash: Minimal revenue, focused on private payments with fixed supply. Seen as "insurance against Bitcoin" (Naval Ravikant). Both pass the test of demand independent of price.

📉 Psychology and Risk Management

• Concentration over fragmentation: Holding 30 assets is like lottery tickets. Own a few strong projects.
• Drawdowns are normal: Bitcoin and Ethereum have historically dropped over 80%. Those without conviction sell at the bottom.
• Don't marry old favorites: New cycles reward new projects. Example: Cardano (ADA) never reclaimed its 2021 high, while Robinhood Chain attracted billions in volume within two months.

⚖️ Attack vs. Defense: The Right Balance

• Early stage: Higher risk for big gains (aggression).
• Later stage: More Bitcoin as a base (compressing drawdowns: from 93% to 53%). Bitcoin allocation should increase as portfolio grows.
• Take profits: No one knows the exact top. Scale out gradually.
• Never go to zero: Position size so you can't be wiped out.

🏛️ Estate & Family Planning

• Single key = single point of failure: Up to 3.8M Bitcoin are already lost. Legal structures (trusts, wills) and tax planning are essential.
• Williams Group study: 70% of wealth is gone by the second generation, 90% by the third. Main reasons: lack of communication (60%) and unprepared heirs (25%).
• History lesson: Rockefeller used trusts and preserved billions. Vanderbilt trusted judgment alone – the wealth vanished within a few generations.

Conclusion: With patience, a repeatable process, and smart structures, crypto can truly create generational wealth. Avoiding psychological pitfalls and reducing risk in time offers the best chances.
