TL;DR: Portugal is no longer crypto tax-free, but it’s still attractive: hold a coin for 365 days or more and the gain is exempt from capital gains tax. Sell within 365 days and the gain is taxed at a flat 28%. Crypto-to-crypto swaps don’t trigger tax until you convert to fiat. The 365-day rule is […]
Nectaro vs Mintos — Which Is Better in 2026?
Nectaro and Mintos sit at opposite ends of the European P2P spectrum. Mintos is the EUR 12 billion incumbent with 60+ loan originators and a decade of history. Nectaro is the two-year-old newcomer that quietly posted a 14.91% return in 2025 and walked off with re:think P2P’s “Winner of 2025” title. I invest on both, […]
Auth in 2026: What Replaced wp_users

How to Prepare Your Crypto Taxes in Malta (2026)
TL;DR: Malta’s “0% crypto tax” reputation is half true. Long-term holdings of coins held as an investment are not subject to capital gains tax, so a buy-and-hold investor can pay nothing. But active trading is taxed as income at rates up to 35%, and the line between investing and trading is what decides your bill. […]
What to Eat and Drink During a Padel Match
Padel is a game of rallies, sprints, and sudden bursts of intensity. You can go from standing still to chasing a lob in a split second, and then do it again fifty times over the course of an hour. What you eat and drink before and during a match makes a real difference to how […]

WordPress Isn’t Dying. It Stopped Being the Default.
I’ve made my living from WordPress for twenty years. I’d love to tell you it’s thriving. I can’t, and the most honest evidence I have is my own behavior. I still build on WordPress. I still reach for it for the jobs it’s best at. But it’s no longer my automatic first choice for everything, […]

WordCamp Europe Is Shrinking. The Math Is Sharper Than the Headline.
Four years of WordCamp Europe data: attendance down ~35% from peak, talks pivoting hard to AI and security, the Anglo share thinning every year. My read on where WordPress is heading.
The Strange Privilege of Being Born Between Two Worlds
I was at a concert recently. Great band, perfect venue. And as I looked around, all I could see was a sea of phone screens — hundreds of people recording the performance instead of watching it. I felt something I’ve been feeling a lot lately: a pull in two directions at once. Because here’s the […]
The Quiet Belongs to the Rich
Spend an afternoon walking through the wealthy part of any city you’ve lived in. Then walk through the cheapest one. Notice what’s missing in the first place. No mopeds with butchered exhausts. No construction crews on every corner. No street vendors with megaphones. No phone speakers blasting reggaeton at midnight. No fistfights spilling out of […]
