A government doesn't need to shut down a newspaper if it can freeze the journalists' bank accounts.
That's the concern after authorities in El Salvador froze assets linked to journalists at El Faro following a documentary investigation.
It's one of several examples highlighted in my latest feature on the Human Rights Foundation's free Financial Freedom webinar for nonprofits and activists – featuring @nprofile…va8x @nprofile…wsrn and @npub1d39…h33r

"The rescue of the downed American airman was real. Ghost Murmur, as described, almost certainly was not.
I say this not to diminish the operation, but because the technology being credited for it contradicts sixty years of established physics" – says my good friend (and biomedical engineering graduate), MJ Zerehpoush.
If any of you weren't forced down a rumour-induced rabbit hole after the CIA made this bold claim, don't worry, I've done it for you.
They claim to have isolated the man's heartbeat across a deserted 40 km expanse, with a little bit of help (as always nowadays) from artificial intelligence. The technology they're talking about definitely exists but there's no public evidence that it can work to this extent.
However, we can prove that it's being used elsewhere with a high degree of success. I asked Jeffrey Bander, MD and Kit Yee Au-Yeung of SandboxAQ to explain what it can do and how it's being used.

“I see parallels between #AI insurance and other industries where risk was financialised before being fully understood – think early #cyber insurance and the first wave of autonomous-vehicle coverage,” says AI Advisor Avron Welgemoed.
"The same pattern is playing out here"
“We’re financialising a risk we still don’t fully understand and probably can’t predict”

I’m not a technical person.
That’s exactly why I wanted to understand this properly. Most people using #AI agents aren’t experts either. They’re just trying to get their work done more efficiently.
So I didn't just want to know how the technology works.
I needed to understand how it behaves in everyday use – and what happens when something goes wrong.

Do you use an AI agent or chatbot? Does your company?
Ever wondered what happens when it gets things not slightly wrong but catastrophically wrong?
We’re giving AI tools more and more power but, as the old adage goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Or does it?
Can AI be held responsible? #naddr1qv…sad5

New article!
If an #AI agent gives the wrong advice, who is actually responsible?
The company using it?
The developer behind it?
Or no one at all?
This is becoming a real question as tools like Claude and Copilot move into everyday work.
Some companies are now insuring AI systems – covering the financial cost when things go wrong. But insurance doesn’t answer the harder question: who is at fault?
I spoke to experts across security, strategy, and law to understand how this is actually being approached.
The answer is less clear than you might expect.

Its stellar lineup was complemented by a really open and interesting dynamic, which meant that the time between panels was maybe even more productive than it would be at an in-person conference.

Most headlines frame quantum computing as a Bitcoin problem. It’s not.
“It’s an all-blockchain problem,” says mathematician and cryptography researcher Nicolas Vescovo.
And actually… it goes even further than that.
The same cryptography protects:
– your banking
– your messages
– your web browsing
So why is Bitcoin getting all the attention?
I unpack this (and why the narrative is off) in my latest piece.

“Quantum computers will break Bitcoin in minutes.”
Yes… if we had one powerful enough.
We don’t.
Right now, that level of machine is still theoretical.
“Without the quantum computer, we don’t have anything.”

Happy International Women’s Day!
It’s been an unusual week here: missile alerts, drones intercepted overhead and flights temporarily stopping at the nearby airport.
Now that planes have started again, every loud engine makes people glance up.
Except the kids that is. They don’t seem worried at all.
And I think that’s because children mostly take their cues from their parents. If we’re calm, they assume everything is fine.
Which means a big part of motherhood is quietly managing your own reactions to the world.
So Happy International Women’s Day (from me, my mum and daughter spending quality time on the beach during all this) to you and yours x

Morgan Housel has a new book out, The Art of Spending Money, so I picked up his old one first – The Psychology of Money.
At first glance, it doesn’t feel like a book for me. I’m the “good with money” one. The frugal one. The tight one. The stingy one.
Not a flex, just a fact. I’m awful at sleeping properly and keeping things tidy.
But I’m very good at not spending money.
About halfway through, it feels oddly familiar. Like someone took the inside of my head, edited it, and made it smarter.
I think my relationship with money started early. I grew up without much. No safety or disposable income. My mum worked steadily to pull us out of poverty.
So I saved. Early job. Saved. Uni job. Saved. Gap year. Somehow still saved.
I’ve never had a high income, but I’ve always had a high savings rate.
Housel puts it simply:
“Wealth is just the accumulated leftovers after you spend what you take in, and since you can build wealth without a high income, but have no chance of building wealth without a high savings rate, it’s clear which one matters more.”
Here’s the uncomfortable part. This post is not self-congratulatory.
I am by no means wealthy 😅 My money mostly just… sits there.
Not compounding. Not growing meaningfully. Just existing.
I have the discipline but not the mindset.
The same instinct that taught me restraint also taught me to avoid risk. And where I’m from, everyone talks about loans, overdrafts, mortgages – not investing, compounding, or letting money work over time.
So maybe I’m not actually that “good with money”.
Maybe I’m just good at not losing it.

2025 has been ridiculous.
Unfathomably unexpected. It’s not like I dreamt up a brand new career and manifested it.
It crept up on me and then I ran with it.
I have never wanted to be the face of anything. I don’t like putting myself out there. Which does sound ridiculous right now. Somehow I got here though, and not only do I not hate it, but I’ve discovered a whole different part of myself that I would’ve sworn blind did not exist, and I love it.
I feel like I haven’t been up to take a breath all year. It’s a struggle to balance work, family and an active social life. My to-do list is never ending and the commute is a killer, but I wouldn’t take any of it back.
I hate soppy posts and I don’t do resolutions. But new year has me reminiscing.
And 2026 has the potential to be better. But I have no idea where it’ll go. I don’t know if it’s a good thing to just wing it through life, but I don’t regret where it’s got me so far.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s been really hard and I’m not where I want to be (yet). I need advertisers/sponsors for my show Guardians of Bitcoin.
I have a lot more work to do. But I have big plans and I’m excited for them, as well as whatever else you have to throw at me.
Massive thanks to my team and wonderful co-host MJ. And thank you to all the amazing new friends I’ve made in the process of interviewing you! I don’t know if that’s how it’s supposed to work, but it always seems to 😅
