PeerBerry vs Esketit — Which Is Better in 2026?

Published: April 03, 2026Leave a Comment

PeerBerry and Esketit target a similar type of investor — someone looking for solid returns on European consumer loans without the complexity of a mega-platform like Mintos. I’ve invested on both, and until recently, I would have called them roughly comparable options with different strengths. But 2025 changed the equation. PeerBerry has continued its steady […]

TL;DR: True anonymity in Bitcoin is harder than ever. Regulators shut down Samourai Wallet in 2024, Binance now requires full KYC, and the EU’s MiCA regulation plus Travel Rule mean exchanges must collect identity data on transactions over 1,000 euros. Your best options in 2026: a Ledger hardware wallet for long-term storage, Sparrow Wallet for […]

Mintos vs Esketit — Which Is Better in 2026?

Published: April 03, 2026Leave a Comment

If you’re comparing Mintos and Esketit, you’re looking at two platforms in very different stages of their evolution.

The Fastest Video Creation Stack (iPhone + Mac)

Published: April 02, 2026Leave a Comment

Most people massively overcomplicate video creation. They search for a single tool that does everything: recording, editing, captions, podcast production, social clips, YouTube videos, and tutorials. The result is usually a slow workflow and lots of friction. A much better approach is to use a small stack of tools where each one does a specific […]

The Shrinking World

Last updated: April 01, 2026Leave a Comment

When I was a kid growing up in Malta, everywhere else felt like another planet. Foreign countries were enormous, impossibly distant places full of people who spoke languages I couldn’t understand, ate food I’d never seen, and lived in ways that seemed completely alien to my tiny island existence. Now I’ve been living abroad for […]

Published: March 26, 2026Leave a Comment

Most P2P lending platforms fund consumer debt or property. InSoil Finance funds farms. It’s an immediately interesting idea: secured agricultural loans across five European countries, backed by farmland and heavy machinery, with a side bet on carbon credits. If you care about where your money goes — and you want returns in double digits — […]
