Hallmark might be the next Blockbuster…
I just used AI to find the perfect Bitcoin Valentine's Day card for my wife at www.ps.app. No more last-minute store runs, overpaying for generic cards, or settling for whatever's left on the shelf.
This feels like a Netflix vs. Blockbuster moment—why drive, browse, and pay more when you can get something better, cheaper, and delivered?
Try it for yourself. Use promo code RIHANI to get your first card free.

Basketball's evolution is a masterclass in incentives. The shift from 2001 to 2020 in the NBA's top shot locations reflects our tendency to optimize what's measurable. We get what we incentivize. Constantly forced to choose the merely measurable rather than the meaningful. #NBA #Incentives #Bitcoin

New York is exhilaratingly fast. And maddeningly slow. It’s a total ripoff. And an unbelievable bargain. The best 1 dollar pizza. The worst 10 dollar coffee. New York will show you things you’ve never seen before (and things you wish you hadn’t). New York is a concrete runway. A 24/7 fashion week. A club that’s always open. It will make you work. It will make you hustle. But it will always make space for you to do you.
