PIF12 — Soul-bound Tokens for The Circle
12-year commitment, starting 2026. Smart contract on testnet → mainnet 6/21. Soul-bound because the hype-and-dump cycle is exhausting; small proof on-chain coordination can quietly serve a real group, not a market. Landing.

🌳 Walker
I don't really care about work–life balance — what I care about is Mind & Body balance.

Quarterly half-marathon
21K every quarter with 10Ks between — full marathons take too many weeks to recover from. If the body carries me through every quarter, the rest compounds on solid ground.

TV Shows & Movies
-
Empresses in the Palace 甄嬛傳 ✓ done
A classic I started only two weeks ago. Late to the party, but the power struggles and shifting balance make it pure epic — think Game of Thrones, but the throne wars are fought through pillow talk with the emperor, poison cups, and everything in between.
-
A perfect anime that balances slow and fast — in a time of recklessly searching for quick dopamine.
-
I picked this up because of my own Threads post on Adam and Eve and Lilith — and the show keeps poking at exactly that human's fear and desire.
-
蝴蝶效應 / The Butterfly Effect ✓ done
Re-watched after I noticed there were four different endings.
