**Stablecoin Tether’s Increasing Dominance Is Bad for Crypto Markets, JPMorgan Says** Other stablecoins such as USD Coin may benefit from the coming regulatory crackdown and gain market share, the report said. https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/02/05/stablecoin-tethers-increasing-dominance-is-bad-for-crypto-markets-jpmorgan-says/
📍Nosy Be, Madagascar 🇲🇬 One slightly different side of Madagascar... The last three days, we've been spending time on the beach on the island of Nosy Be, one of the most popular resorts in Madagascar. We reach it by plane from Antananarivo, and at first, the round-trip ticket at the price of 350 € seems like a lot. However, when you consider that it replaces at least 36 hours of local bus travel, the so-called 'brousse' taxi... it becomes cost-effective. We choose accommodation in a town called Ambatoloaka. This is where all the excursions start, and it has the most tourists. Nosy Be doesn't have the most beautiful beaches, but the islands surrounding it do... Among the foreigners, there are currently Italians and French, mostly older men, who unfortunately take advantage of Madagascar's difficult economic situation and the girls who sell their youth and beauty for a few euros. I thought there was nowhere worse than the Philippines, but this type of tourism is even more pronounced in Nosy Be. Only here, the "guests" are even older, and the girls, or rather girls, are even younger. This is what tarnished the image of this place, so we tried to stay as far away from such events, i.e., from the main street where it is most evident. The café where we spent most of our time and where these photos were taken is Maison Ylang. It is part of the hotel of the same name, and for me, this is #interiorgoals 😍 Such a pleasant, relaxed, boho atmosphere... If you ask me what I will miss the most from Madagascar, it's precisely this place! ☀️🌊🐟 #nosybe #nosybeisland #nosybemadagascar #nosybebeach #madagascarbeach #madagascarisland #madagascartravel #mymadagascar #boholifestyle

**Old School** We’re taking it back to the old school on this one. 8-bit NES games, the discovery of hip-hop music, skateboarding on ramps we built on the street outside our home… I originally called this song “Thursday”, which happened to be the day on which it was written. It’s one of the first songs I wrote. I was in high school, learning how to properly play the guitar. I had started playing finger-style guitar around this time, and figured out a funky right hand pattern which became the basis of the song. I played it quite a lot, but never made a proper recording. So it feels good to finally release this to the world! Lastly, a note about the message in the lyrics - when I was younger, I really tried to be an optimist; I wanted to see the best in people and in the world. Sometimes it was really, REALLY hard. But I always tried, and keep trying to this day. So, this is a song dedicated to those constantly working on transcending our differences and lifting each other up - because we’re better off as a species that way.

so as some of you might know, i recently fell for a phishing scam and got drained for all my WMATIC. navigating this crypto space can be really frustrating for people like me who are relatively new to it all, especially so when the fruits of months of your time and effort can be taken from you in an instance. bottom line is: it sucks. but hey, shit happens and all you can really do is get through and keep pushing. despite this overwhelming demotivating feeling, that's what i decided to do. this is the first beat i make since getting rekt, and i decided to publish it as a cheaper unlimited collect to try and recoup some of what i lost. collect only if you like the track or if you wanna help a dude out. this is not a pity party. i messed up and learned my lesson. thanks so much to the frens who responded immediately with kind words, suggestions and security tips. special thanks to @0xzfi who got on a long call with me and walked me through revoking permissions and getting more secure. you guys give me faith knowing there's still plenty good people out there. 🙏❤️ ------------ "far away" 2 WMATIC open edition

Thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Thyroid gland plays an important role in the metabolism, growth and development of the body. Any abnormalities in the thyroid gland leads to hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, goiter etc. According to ayurveda, the imbalance in the thyroid is a result of depletion of the “Ojas”. Early signs of thyroid include fatigue, dullness, tiredness and weak immune system. This ayurvedic tea helps in relieving thyroid: Take a glass of water Add a slice of crushed ginger, 2 tbsp of coriander seeds, 9-12 curry leaves. Boil it for 5 minutes. Strain and sip it early in the morning on an empty stomach. Ginger and curry leaves are rich in antioxidants that help in keeping thyroid levels under control.
