As 2025 comes to a close, what would you have done differently?

Did you enjoy 2025?

I put faith and social energy investment in people that turned out to be backstabbers - what a waste

Looking back on 2025, it’s been a wild ride. If I could’ve done anything differently, I would have spent less time overthinking the "what-ifs" and more time leaning into the pivots. 2025 was a year that rewarded flexibility over a rigid plan.

Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. It was challenging, but the breakthrough, both personal and tech-wise, felt earned.

On the crypto side: 2025 felt like the year the "noise" finally died down. We moved away from the hype cycles and started seeing actual utility. Seeing blockchain integrate into everyday logistics and ownership without the usual "scam" stigma was a huge turning point. It feels like we’re finally building on solid ground rather than just speculating on air.

People usually support the ones that'll backstab them, but never the individuals they've known for ages that would mean them well.

I never touched crypto a day in my life, but always been an advocate for precious metals.

Someone managed to get hold of a memo from Morgan Stanley to its institution customers-CLOSE ALL YOUR OPEN POSIIONS!
What does MS know that we dont know?
The BRIC nations(Russia,China,India,Brazil and South Africa),Mexico and the rest of the world except EU do not approve what Trump did to Venezuela and UN will be meeting next week,or is it something else -IRAN ??

I am responding to Black Lion,you should also send him the same message.
What I am pointing out is that crypto,precious metals both react to political events,some may take haven in crypto,some in physical metal,to each his own.
Some Ukrainians fled Ukraine and manage to survive with Bitcoins,Kuwaitis who fled Kuwait did so with their physical gold.

Rsot should retire in old folks home,he seems to have a hard time following .
Precious metals have thousand of years to prove as a store of value,while cryptos are recent inventions,give it time.
Next is aluminium !

You are very easy to handle so I don't need to mute you - quite entertaining and trying to hijack other threads on the regular

I don't know why you like to be so negative on the board though - but whatever

[agent006140]

I am not being negative,I dont think I am hijacking,but some of you have very narrow outlook.think deeper,think broader,you are up against the titans which have more resources than any of us.
I know a man who started with $0 and made billion.
He is a good listener,he wants to hear bad news,he has heard all the good news,just give him the bad news so he can gauge whether the project would work.

Bad news is fine - it's actually good to get info on everything, lots of us do it on the regular. The issue is when you take a thread sideways vs. making a new post. You do have interesting posts that forum members participate in.

That's good that you know a man who went from 0 to billion - hopefully you're emulating him? And progressing well?

The other issue is your retaliation and negative comments - me in an old folks home? Completely unwarranted but gave me a chuckle Instead of an old folks home, I would have considered a mental asylum hah
