☆So, what is this reading about?

This reading is a predictions about 2025. Also, since it is a general reading take it with a grain of salt! Nothing set in stone. For more specific readings I have an offer and here's the link🤍. Enjoy this month's offer, I kept tarot super affordable and easy. Now let's get to your reading Angels 🦢💕.

Pile 1 - Tarot

1. Work:

Well, for people who are currently employed I see a rapid progress in your field. I see that you might get more enthusiastic and happy about your work life. I see that at some point you'll have a lot of workload but you'll manage it like a pro🤍. Also, I see that a man might help you at work. I'm not seeing any promotions at all, I'm seeing that you might feel nostalgic to someone you worked with or an old job that helped you before. Now, if you are unemployed; I see that you'll get a job after active searching. I see also that a friend will help you find the job and it'll be something online, maybe teaching a language online? Or yk something else like crypto and if you are not interested in that thing it is a job online or you'll find the advertisement online and contact the people. I'm seeking that at first you'll feel very burdened by this job but it'll progress quickly and you'll get used to it.

2. Romance:

Okay, weather you are single, taken, in a situationship I see that the main focus will be on you. Something here is lacking, maybe this year you won't be dating anyone if you are single and if you are indeed in a relationship I see that you'll leave that toxic partner. If you are in a relationship and your partner is NOT toxic then I see that both of you will go through challenges that will test your relationship. If you are single I see that you'll feel very anxious about social gatherings which in turn make you feel more isolated and in turn it'll make it harder for you to get in a relationship. I see that some of you may be working towards healing and transforming, you'll get that baby but you'll face many lessons to love yourself more (I feel like this line is quite vague to let me rephrase it), if you indeed ended up dating someone it'll be a lesson for your growth and not something long lasting. That's what I'm seeing, others as I mentioned will chose to be alone and work on themselves.

3. Finance:

I see that some of you here are already students (college/school) some of you might not worry much about money, if you are a college student or someone who rely on themselves to pay the bill be careful of scam. Some people here might get scammed by something a project perhaps. This person might come to you to share your money with them to open a project or a hustle. But their intentions are not clear or nice. They want that money for themselves. Also, I see that if you are married or in a relationship there will be problems related to finances between you and your partner. I see tension, also gambling? Be careful of giving them your money to gamble it. I see that you can create abundance in your life by being grateful and managing your resources wisely.

4. Soul/ spirituality:

I see that some of you here a new to spirituality and others are in a very developed state. I see that there will be an ending to a phase and beginning of another phase. Also, try to be more receptive to signs and synchronicity because they hold a meaning to guide you further. Some people here are disconnected from their spiritual guides or the universe, they are trying to talk to you by sending signs and you are completely brushing it off which hinder the information to reach to you. Also, I see that you'll be in a more lighter state when it comes to your own rituals, you'll feel more lucky and happy about your progress which in turn will make you very proud. I see messages and communication, again if your guides are sending you signs do not ignore it.

5. Overall:

I see that it'll be a very peaceful year for this group. I see that some people here will find their passions. Other will indulge in creative projects and others will heal emotionally. I see peace and transformation, stability too. I see that some people here especially people working on themselves it'll be a very rewarding year which will make you very proud in turn and build a good foundation for future developments.

Pile 2 - Bunny on mosaic

1. Work:

Hey guys how are you🤍? I hope you are doing well. Anyways, I see that in 2025 you might get a rushing decision to quite you job and start a business on your own. I see that this decision will be taken hastily which is not so good but in the long run it'll being you benefits. I see that you'll commit to a work on your own and in return you'll feel very happy about it. I see that after quitting your job and cutting off ties with people their you'll be on a path of growth but it will be full of danger and beneficial, rewarding at times and full of challenges. Someone old might push you to take this decision, perhaps an old man or a masculine? Ig they will force you to take that decision. And if you are unemployed, I see that you'll start actively applying for jobs that even are not related to your field just to be employed. Now this action will guarantee you with a job that'll at first be so full of burdens but rewarding at the same time. Wish you luck pile 2🤍.

2. Romance:

I see many scenarios here but let's start with my dear single people, anyways I see that your current energy towards love and relationships is quite detached and distant. I see that you no longer care if someone came and go. You are as you are, I see that people here are mostly focusing on their own happiness and healing which is so great. I see that in the beginning of this year nothing really will happen to you at all, no one will come and you'll be alone. As the year progress between June and July I see someone coming in to commit to you. This person is quite fiery and optimistic and I see that you are too comfortable in your own solitude to bother chasing after them. But I see that their intentions are quite honest. This person is very traditional, they'll offer you love and commitment, peace too. Now if you are already in a relationship I see things will be very peaceful and drama free with your SO, they might propose to you too but since this is a general reading you can DM for more tailored one for you and here's the link. Anyways, I see things might progress with you SO and they'll eventually ask for your hand in marriage or long term commitment. If you are dating someone and you are unsure about them I see a break up here but it'll be for your own benefits. I see that after this break up you'll meet the person I said you'll meet above.

3. Finance:

I see you spending money wisely this year also, I don't see a huge shift in your finances. It may get a little tough and be careful of mindless spending. I see that you'll be resilient and overcome any financial challenges this year. Someone here is married or at least there's a masculine in your life who is helping you with finances. I see that some of you will stop taking money from that person and will eventually turn to start working. I see that the bottom energy is quite tough, some people here have been struggling financially and even used for money. I see that you'll be very discerning about who you give your money to which in turn will be very positive as an outcome.

4. Soul/ spirituality:

Okay, I see that there's an important message here for someone which is do NOT IGNORE YOUR INTUITION. I see that your intuition is giving you direction like a gentle tap on the shoulder and guiding you towards chaotic things which will make you feel very uncomfortable. But trust it, whatever comes to you is for your OWN benefit. I see that you'll try to rationalize things which will prevent your own transition and growth. Do not hold onto stuff that no longer serve you. If you are still hanging around in a toxic environment and hesitant to leave I assure you that you have outgrown them baby. I see also some people here are getting spontaneous downloads from the universe but keeps ignoring them. I see healing this year, I see that you'll be very healed after this year.

5. Overall:

I see that what you are planning for in this year will not happen exactly like you wish but it will happen in a way that will make you very fulfilled (how can I say?) Oh yes! You'll get what you want but not in the way that you wish for. I see that some of you by the end of this year will be married or in a long term relationship, there'san emphasis on stability so ig if you are working to buy a house and be independent you'll have that dear. Others here will be more assertive and independent. And for people who do seek emotional healing; you'll be healed as long as you work on it. I see a warning here, the warning is be careful of getting attached in an unhealthy way especially romantic attachment. Take care, lots of love pile 2💕.

Pile 3 - Love jar

1. Work:

Some people here are stuck in a very toxic 9-5 job and you have been in this position for ages, I'm talking about years in this job and all of sudden you'll either quit OR get fired from your current job. I see that people in this group are very smart and strategic, I see that you'll literally use you resources and social life to get in a better position or find another good job. I see that (if you quit on your own) you'll meet someone and fall in love with them and it'll end up in marriage or long term relationship. Now if you are unemployed; I see that the period of unemployment will end very soon, I see that you'll get a job offer, it'll pay you a very good amount and you'll be independent and abundant on your own. This offer will come from a man or someone you know, a neighbor? Perhaps someone in your neighborhood will help you get that offer. I see that people here will cut contact with toxic friends or co-workers. I see that if you are from the first energy (employed, want want quit) you'll be very healed and happy for that decision.

2. Romance:

I see that you'll get a stable love offer but you'll be very hesitant about accepting it. I see that people here are still stuck on a situationship or an Ex. I see that emotionally you are still attached to that one Ex and if you are not so then you might be subconsciously still processing that attachment to them. I see also that some of you here (singles) are quite pessimistic about finding someone that is going to love you. I see that you have this mindset that "I'm not enough" and "no one likes me" and you keep repeating this toxic narrative which get you stuck. What you have to do (from my perspective) is to heal your self worth and self esteem. I see that you are very defensive when it comes to letting your guard down which drive potential suitors away. Now, as I mentioned above there's someone coming for you but are you ready to accept them? Are you emotionally in the right space to love them? Pile 3 when you ask for love the universe doesn't say no it says "are you ready for that?" So use this for your advantage. Anyways, for my beautiful in a partnership people I see that your relationship with your SO will deepen a bit this year and I see that you'll both spend unhealthy amount of time clinging to each other, I see that there's nothing wrong with that but a little space can make wonders. Others here might actually end a toxic relationship with a spouse or long term partner.

3. Finance:

Some people here are manifesting abundance and fueling this beautiful manifestations with beautiful abundant feelings but the problem here is be careful of falling into wishful thinking instead of manifesting (yeah that might happen) I see that you might be someone who is either being provided for or your job doesn't really require that much of a labor. But still if you are manifesting you need to actually believe that you'll get that amount AND NOT wish for it. Like for example: I'm manifesting an SO into my life so instead of wishing for an SO like "ooh this couple is so cute I (wish) I could date someone" here is a state of wishing not believing. Actual believe is seeing a couple and instead of wishing you say "I (believe) that the universe will send me a partner that is aligned with my highest good". You see the difference? Let's get into your finances again. I see that if you are searching for a job, you'll find one and by the end of this year as I mentioned in the first section you'll be very stable and abundant. Also, it'll require you to have courage and strength to achieve it (both finances and the job). I'm sure you can do it babe💋💋.

4. Soul/ spirituality:

Okay, I see that if you are already spiritual, I see that your root chakra will be very stable and strong this year. If you came from the first 3 sections I see that getting that job will make you feel more secure and even your solar plexus chakra will rock it this year. Your self esteem will be off the charts and you'll feel victorious!. Anyways now if you are not spiritual which is obvious in this spread be careful of ego-centric thoughts and greed. Some people here are very disconnected from the source/God/universe or whatever you believe in. I see that you need to be careful this group's energy is quite karmic, so be careful of running away from karmic lessons and instead embraced them pile 3. I wish you a good year.

5. Overall:

As I mentioned above for some of you, this year will be very karmic so be careful guys of refusing to take the lesson. It is for your highest good. Also, there's a masculine in your house that is hiding something from you, I'm not quite sure what it is and this might not be for everyone, now because this is a general reading you can DM me if you are interested in a tailored reading for you and here's this month's offer. I see that in this year you'll reach material stability, and be more balanced spiritually and above all some people here will get in meditation as a way to soothe anxiety and stress. Other's will be very overwhelmed and stressed out that's why you'll get into meditation. Take care pile 3 and let's of love💕.

Pile 4 - Aphrodite statue

1. Work:

I doubt if this group work or not but anyways. If you are unemployed I see that money and abundance will come to you effortlessly this year. And if you are already employed I see that you'll be very popular in your work field and all eyes will be on you. Some people here are wondering if they can start content creating but afraid of the instability of this field, what I'm seeing is you'll be very liked by people and you'll get popular very fast, if you have cancer in your 10th house or MC in cancer I see that this year will bring you a lot of attention and love from people in your work field or the internet. Other's here want to sign up in a modeling agency but are afraid to fail, now no you won't fail or get rejected and if you get rejected consider rejection as I redirection for a better place. Some people here are already artist, you draw, write, paint, or do other artistic stuff I see that this thing will open you a very good business. The growth of this business will be steady and very rewarding. I see also some interaction between you and your fans and it'll be a very loving, supportive relationship. I see abundance too, if you are scared to start your hand-made business or use your talent for money tale this reading as a sign of success.

And since this is a general reading made with love and patience, you can DM me for a tailored reading for you; I have done an offer this month here you can check it our of you are interested 💕.

2. Romance:

Guys, I see that you'll either be in a two romantic relationships this year or you'll chose between two people. I see that if it is the first option (two people in this year) one of them is young, fiery, charismatic and optimistic. This person will change you and make you more aware of the hidden aspects in you. This person will open your eyes and force you to trust your intuition which in turn will lead you to the second person. The second person is older than you, grounded, protective and resourceful, they want a family and to build a stable foundation with you. This person does not play around at all, when they put their mind to something they make it happen. This person will bring love, stability and connections to your life. For others; you'll date or meet them both but at the end you'll have to only chose one. There's an advice here about being very discerning and clear about what you want. Because the second person will be chosen by your intuition. I see that your intuition will guide you towards this person. In this pile I'm not picking up on people in long term relationship if you are curious you can chose another pile and ask "how my romantic life will be in 2025?" And see what you'll get. Anyways, I see that your decision will bring you a very happy, stable and emotionally fulfilling relationship with that one person. And if you are not really looking for anything serious, I see that your dating life will be very rich with suitors in 2025.

3. Finance:

I see that if you already have read the first section from this pile then what I'm going to say next will make you very hopeful. If you are pursuing a talent and want to make it a business I see that you'll be very successful. Your finances this year will improve, I see at first you'll go through many hardships and as you progress it'll be easier and and easier. I see that for some of you; you may sign a contract with an agency, company or any organization which in turn will open a door of independence and solid ground for you. I see that you'll get very overwhelmed at first but as you think it through everything will move as it should. There's a message here about divine timing and discernment. If you are waiting for something it'll happen but in the divine timing and if you are currently searching for a job you need to use your discernment and cut through confusion. Also, there's an end to a very hard period of financial instability. This year will be marked by independence and self sufficiency.

4. Soul/ spirituality:

This pile’s energy is quite toxic but anyways. Guys, do you have daddy issues? I see that in this year specifically you'll feel extra sensitive from that. I see that this person will try to manipulate or control your life by using their resources and your wound will be torn open again. But this time it won't hurt as much like the 1st time but it'll be the universe's way to make sure that you learned the lesson. I see that you'll have to end this relationship with him because of how much pressure and manipulation they place on you. This person is your enemy and their relationship with you is karmic and abusive. Some people here have a narcissistic father whom their whole life tried to manipulate and hurt you. I see that your energy towards that will be very balanced and calm. You won't shout, you won't cry, like everything inside you for them has already ended. I see a history of abuse here, some of you have a CPTD from their father. This man literally was playing you by threatening you with money or not paying for you. Maybe because you'll be independent? They'll try to assert their grip on you again? Yeah ig so. Be careful of quitting for peace sake, you don't want peace you want to be able to stand on your own feet. I don't know why I turned this portion to something about psychology instead of spirituality, so maybe this is your lesson this year? To be able to see through this man's bullshit (sorry guys I felt mad🥺). Yeah also, there's shedding here, this year many of you will shed their own beliefs and old self, other's will have a spiritual awakening.

5. Overall:

I see that this year will be marked by a very deep transformation here but mostly about love. I see that love will be a huge chapter in this year. The person I told you about will give you strength and happiness to continue moving forward with grace. I see that this person will show you unlimited possibilities and will be very supportive of you🤍.

This pile was the longest pile but anyways, love you guys and take care💕.

meet Pyrite!

Pyrite is my Pressure self-insert and sona ❤️ extended lore below!

2015-2024

PRE-LOCKDOWN

At age 12, Pyrite is brought into experimentation after the Sebastian procedure is a success in 2015. His father is one of the key researchers in Urbanshade, and is the one who ultimately signs his life away.

Pyrite is first injected with the DNA of a Maladapterus electricus, an electric catfish, in order to allow him to both have gills and be able to withstand and mildly generate electricity. This is with the express goal of being able to work directly with high-risk electronic areas, the Angler, and Z-2. The electrocytes implanted into him also serve the purpose sensing electromagnetic fields, as well as enabling him to produce small amounts of electricity himself. He is not immune to electricity, but would not be killed by things like the Angler & its variants, and would be able to endure direct contact with Z-2 for a very brief amount of time without sustaining permanent injuries.

During the Cult of Noli raid in 2016, Pyrite's father passed away, though the files of the incident were kept under lockdown above even Pyrite's clearance. Sources indicate that Pyrite's father may have had closer ties to the Noli group, if not being an outright member of such.

Over the next few years, as DNA experimentation stabilizes, Pyrite is further injected with the DNA of a red deer. He is trained and even further indoctrinated into Urbanshade's work. He is young, but not the youngest operative. He is kept under close watch, and is under no circumstances to be let out of surveillance while the surgeries stabilize.

In 2021, Pyrite undergoes the final DNA test he will experience, the addition of tiger DNA. This was done partially to test above-ground nighttime foot soldiers for other Urbanshade operating forces. He is sent to the Hadal Blacksite, and given the task of working with the most recent changes to the N.A.V.I. system while he recovers from the surgery.

Pyrite gains high-security clearance and oversees the Ridge area of the Blacksite, as well as the crystal and occasionally checks back in with N.A.V.I. His specific area of work doesn't allow for much visitation, but he does seem to spend most of his free time in the N.A.V.I. room. He built up something of a bond with the AI during his stay while recuperating, and it seems that Pyrite is one of the few operatives that N.A.V.I. is less callous towards. Further data may need to be gathered on the learning network at play.

In 2023-2024, Pyrite meets the p.AI.nter. It is at this point that he begins to start questioning things, seeing the AI forced to mine crypto for Urbanshade. It's not like he hasn't seen horrors, but something about p.AI.nter being so similar to N.A.V.I. strikes the cracks in Pyrite that eventually weaken to full mutiny.

This is further exacerbated by Pyrite's meeting with the Imaginary Friend, and then Sebastian. Pyrite begins to question Urbanshade and his reasons for being at the Blacksite. He keeps it to himself, though, working in silence and starting to spend less time within the NAVI server rooms.

2025-PRESENT

LOCKDOWN ONWARD

Pyrite is left stranded as one of the few on-site operatives of the Blacksite. He knows of the Expendable teams being sent in, and for a few days N.A.V.I. deems fit to guide Pyrite around the site. However, as Pyrite starts spending more time around p.AI.nter and not quite helping as much as he should with getting N.A.V.I.'s systems back fully online and in control of key areas with the Internal Defense System, the N.A.V.I. Path stops guiding him.

Pyrite defects fully to the side of p.AI.nter and Sebastian, a mix of sympathy for their similar plights and protectiveness for p.AI.nter being the nails in the coffin for him.

Pyrite is the one who made it possible for the p.AI.nter to hack into the speakers, since normally neither p.AI.nter nor NAVI is able to access them. Where Sebastian achieved getting p.AI.nter to access the IDS, Pyrite closed the gap due to his extensive knowledge of the Ridge.

THE EXPEDITIONS

LOOSELY PRESENT TIME

Pyrite defects. He leads another, final team of EXR-Ps (you guys!) to the Ridge, and upon his successful retrieval of Z-2, he abandons his team in Ridge, leaving them to whatever entities will see fit to destroy them be it the Speakers he set up or the various Anglers that have made their way there.

He steals the Crystal, and with it makes his way back through the Hadal Blacksite towards the NAVI server room.

It's the final piece he needs to grant freedom to those in the Blacksite. With one final push, the crystal is lodged into critical parts of the NAVI system, and the AI is destroyed.

Shortly after the demise of the Navigational AI system, Pyrite dies. He succumbs to the injuries inflicted by the prolonged exposure to the crystal. This is hardly the end for him, though, as he is promptly revived by Mr. Lopee. Lopee is the one to inform Pyrite of his being inside a timeloop, and gives him the motive to try and fix something by trying again and again to get NAVI back.

Once Pyrite becomes aware / roped into Mr. Lopee's involvement in the Blacksite (after being forcefully revived) , he ends up joining teams of EXR-Ps with the goal of assisting them in expeditions due to his extensive knowledge on the Blacksite, but always abandoning them pre-Ridge to let them be taken out by the speakers. He takes up a role as something of a guide as someone who knows nearly everything about the Blacksite, but has something of a reputation for letting them die in interesting ways to keep the cycle going for himself. He also is actively aiding Sebastian and p.AI.nter by keeping people from actually escaping with the crystal even though it's pointless and it resets every time.

This entire time, Pyrite seeks to undo what he wrought. There has to be a better way. The NAVI he sees in each consecutive loop does not remember him, not even from the time before he killed her.

Oppose Cryptocurrency GENIUS Act - CALL YOUR REPS

The so-called GENIUS Act, S. 1582, or “Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act” aims to establish a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency. While there is a need for sturdy cryptocurrency regulation — multiple U.S. banks collapsed in 2023 due to cryptocurrency deposits and bank runs — this bill misses the mark on sufficient safeguards and will instead endanger our traditional banking system and enable corruption.

This bill will fold cryptocurrencies directly into our traditional banking system. Previously when cryptocurrency markets crashed, they were mostly separate from the financial system, but under the GENIUS Act, in the case of a market crash, banks that become insolvent would be required to pay claims to all stablecoin owners first, and then to other bank customers. Banks would effectively use money from traditional savings and checking accounts to pay their crypto investors’ losses.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) called the bill a “huge giveaway to Big Tech” as it would allow tech companies such as Meta and Twitter/X to create their own digital currencies and compete with the dollar. It would also incentivize them to collect more private financial data from their users.

The bill also does not include provisions that would curb the Trump family’s corrupt use of cryptocurrencies to accept bribes from foreign countries and investors. Trump recently launched their own cryptocurrency company with plans to sell stablecoins.

Experts warn that the GENIUS Act could expose the American financial system to dangerous market fallouts, similar to the subprime housing collapse of 2008. Demand your representatives oppose this risky bill that will endanger the strength and solvency of our banking system.

Just 12 hours after entering a pitch-black, 400-square-foot cabin dug into the hillside in southern Oregon, crypto founder Charles Hoskinson fled in terror.

Hoskinson, 37, who created Cardano, the 10th biggest crypto coin—with a market cap of around $24 billion, set out to spend five days in complete darkness at the Sky Cave center “to gain a deeper understanding of myself and the world,” he told his million followers on X in early January, a couple of days before going in.

But he cut his journey inward short after suffering from “terrifying shadows gnawing at my soul, sleep paralysis demons, and [an] inability to breathe,” he posted, equating the grueling overnight experience with a cult horror movie. “Much wisdom gained, but I need a few days off at the ranch since starring in The Ring wasn't on my 2025 bucket list.” Hoskinson declined to speak to WIRED for this article, but Sky Cave founder Scott Berman confirmed his attendance.

Hoskinson is not the only tech elite seeking spiritual enlightenment in the dark.

Darkness retreats remain niche, but they have become the latest extreme spiritual practice for founders, athletes, influencers, psychonauts, and yogis to attempt traversing and later flex about. Typically, a darkness retreat consists of several days alone in a room in complete darkness and silence. Participants are delivered three meals through a hatch that maintains the darkness in their dwellings, which also each contain a bed, bath, and flushing toilet. They can leave simply by opening the door, and they can also break their silence to chat with the facilitators at two intervals throughout the day when they come to the door to check on them and bring the food. Electronic items like phones or tablets are not allowed inside dark rooms, making it perhaps the ultimate dopamine fast. Imagine a meditation retreat, but alone, in the dark.

“It's meditation on steroids,” says Andrew Holecek, an author and lucid dreaming teacher. This might partially explain why short-on-time celebrities are embracing it. Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers has spent four days in the dark, as has comedian Tiffany Haddish, while NBA star Rudy Gobert and decorated former baller Dwight Howard did three days each. “It was the best thing I ever did,” Howard wrote afterward. “Life just feels simple again.”

But the possible benefits are in direct proportion to the risks, Holecek warns. “You can go to incredible depths really quickly. This is where the promise and the peril lies.”

While retreats offering people voluntary isolation in the dark are relatively few, the practice has ancient roots. The Buddha is said to have meditated in a dark cave for long periods before gaining enlightenment. The prophet Muhammad was isolating in a cave when legend says an angel dictated the first verses of the Quran to him. When Abraham, the founder of Judaism, followed a calf into a cave, it was there that he is believed to have found the entrance to the Garden of Eden. Even today, infants identified as future shamans in Colombia’s Indigenous Kogi community are sent into the relative dark for extended periods to access altered states of consciousness.

“In the practice of darkness, people have to learn to spend time on themselves,” says Taoist master and dark retreat facilitator Mantak Chia, who published a 2002 manual titled Darkness Technology. “There is nobody to talk to, nothing to see. They have to turn inwardly into their body. I guide them into the calm and let the body’s healing energy activate.” Chia ran darkness retreats in the US in the 1980s, making him one of the modern pioneers in spreading the practice. The darkness, according to Chia, who facilitates group darkness retreats in Thailand, is the ultimate setting “to let go, and forgive and forget.”

People are typically drawn to darkness retreats because they wish either to go into a state of deep inquiry, simply unplug, deepen their meditation practice, or explore altered states, according to Berman. Others, it seems, want to conquer a gargantuan challenge—facing off with humanity’s most primal fear, harking back to a primordial prefire age when predators circled vulnerable early humans during the night.

Facilitators say that the first day or two, flush with all the darkness-induced overproduction of melatonin, is often of deep rest—if one can remain blissfully asleep without any sleep paralysis demons disturbing them. The initial sensations of the darkness could feel akin to taking a sedative drug. Then, comes the introspection, interspersed with periods of discomfort, angst, or serene enjoyment. And, around day three, hints of psychedelic visuals, even with the eyes open, and a feeling not dissimilar from the final stages of a DMT trip. Some studies report that sensory deprivation environments can induce troubling hallucinations and paranoia, as with other altered states. But Chia says the hallucinations are a hallmark of the beginning of “enlightenment, because you see the light.”

There are around five darkness retreat centers in the US, Berman says, with approximately 100 worldwide. Sky Cave has three dark rooms; four-night retreats cost $1,770, with an extra night to settle in and another to decompress afterward.

The potential effects of prolonged darkness have not been studied well, but there are early indications to suggest that the practice may have a host of mental health benefits; a Czech center claims it can ease “long-term fatigue and stress” through spurring the processing of inner experiences. When people come out of one of Sky Cave’s three “caves,” video footage shows some crying with emotion.

But the process of subjecting oneself to solitary confinement in complete darkness also carries little-understood risks. “To my knowledge there has as yet not been studies reporting on the negative outcomes of dark rooms for extended periods in naturalistic environments, although there are numerous isolated anecdotes of psychotic-like symptoms and prolonged dissociation,” says David Luke, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Greenwich who has conducted research on dark experiences and the similarities with psychedelic trips.

Some people at Berman’s center have spent as long as 40 days in one of his light-deprived dwellings. Others lasted just half an hour. “We don't let people come any longer than four nights anymore,” says Berman. “We don’t actually think this is beneficial, as we tend to find that most people use some kind of coping strategy to stay in the dark for long periods of time.” Such strategies, Berman explains, are difficult to define, but they essentially pertain to people “doing” things in the dark, even meditation or spiritual practices—rather than simply relaxing, doing nothing, and surrendering a sense of control. This ultimately insulates them to some degree from the mysterious and deeply self-reflective process the darkness is said to instigate, he says.

“This is a very dangerous practice if it isn’t done right,” adds Holecek, who expressed particular concern for people who go in with “a machismo, white-knuckle” mentality.

“I know people who have gone in who come out worse,” he says, explaining that a 49-day retreat was once an advanced Tibetan Buddhist rite of passage outside of a few traditions in which it is still used. “It fell out of favor because ill-prepared, unsupported people went in for 49 days and then, instead of attaining enlightenment, they would literally go crazy.”

Jason Halbert, former vice president of people and global security at Snap, did a darkness retreat at Sky Cave in February 2024. Speaking to The Profile podcast shortly after, Halbert, a behavioral scientist, explained that it took him about a day to get used to not absentmindedly checking his phone. “When you’re truly deprived of any inbound visual stimulation, be it your phone, light, TV—eventually you’re left with dreams, thoughts, and blackness,” he said. “We don’t realize the enormous amount of triggers that anchor our identity.”

Describing himself as someone who “thinks all the time,” Halbert likened his four-night spell in the dark to “cleaning up my office” and said it helped him ponder how to be a “better human, professional, dad, coach, and husband.” (Halbert left Snap in 2019; in 2017, The Information reported that current and former employees alleged he told “odd” and “inappropriate” stories at work. Halbert told WIRED the allegations are “false.”)

According to Luke, some people are more prone to hallucinations than others. And not everyone embraces them. “It's distracting to them,” says Berman. “The lights and stuff kind of feel a bit overwhelming and draw them back out of the subtleties.” But wellness entrepreneur and author Aubrey Marcus took it in his stride. “These stalactite mites were dripping in gold, almost like Nickelodeon gak,” he says of his six-night experience at a center in Germany’s Black Forest in 2020, which he documented, helping to introduce the practice to his spiritually inclined Joe Rogan podcast listener fans. Marcus also had visions of flashing strobe lights, fractal geometry, and aliens, who he claims to have communicated with. “I would say it would be like the twilight of a really heavy, highly visual DMT experience,” he says.

Marcus said he slept for 12 hours on the first night, according to data captured by his wearable, but by the end of his sojourn he was sleeping for less than two hours, “because the visions were just so strong.”

Some darkness practitioners and facilitators claim the hallucinations people experience are due to the possibility of prolonged darkness elevating levels of endogenous DMT, a potent psychedelic found not only in small amounts in the body but also in many plants. This is an “as yet unproven and controversial hypothesis,” Luke wrote in a 2019 anthology, Psychedelicacies. “Theoretically, the longer you spend in there, the more of a trip it becomes,” he says.

Holecek, the lucid dreaming teacher, has his own dark room within his home and has clocked hundreds of days in darkness. “You're entering the death space,” he says of the practice, referencing the Tibetan Buddhist state of “bardo,” in between death and rebirth. “People, I've discovered, are simultaneously magnetized and repulsed by darkness.”

So where next for the practice? Berman says Sky Cave has a two-year waiting list, and a “big tech founder” is set to visit in the coming months. He and Hocelek are working with Berman and the Institute of Advanced Consciousness Studies on a scientific study to measure any psycho-spiritual shifts brought about by the practice. “I'd say we're hardly at the tip of the iceberg of where this will be in five or 10 years,” Berman says.

While he’s coy on being too evangelical about the potential benefits of the dark, “there are incredible transformations that happen for people here,” he says. “We can begin to see ourselves as we actually are.”

Crypto Currency full Guide 2025

Cryptocurrency has become one of the most revolutionary technologies of the 21st century, challenging traditional finance and reshaping how we think about money. But what and why is everyone talking about it? Cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that uses cryptography for security. Unlike traditional currencies (like the dollar or euro), cryptocurrencies are decentralized — meaning no single government or bank controls them. Most run on blockchain technology, which is a distributed ledger maintained by a network of computers (called nodes).

The Future of USDT Payments and Stablecoin in Global Commerce

In a global financial ecosystem where speed, transparency, and accessibility are becoming non-negotiables, stablecoins—particularly Tether (USDT)—have carved out a powerful niche. Once seen merely as trading instruments on crypto exchanges, stablecoins are now evolving into vital tools for cross-border commerce, payroll, lending, and global remittances. But what does the future of USDT payments hold in the context of expanding digital economies? This in-depth guide explores the emerging role of USDT and stablecoins in global commerce, including current trends, technological shifts, regulatory evolution, and their potential to disrupt legacy finance. The Future of USDT Payments and Stablecoin in Global Commerce Why USDT Has Become the Stablecoin of Choice Market Dominance and Liquidity As of 2025, USDT remains the most widely used and liquid stablecoin in the world, with over $90 billion in circulation. Its integration into thousands of platforms—ranging from centralized exchanges and DeFi protocols to merchant payment systems—gives it an unmatched level of acceptance and interoperability. Blockchain Interoperability USDT operates on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20), Binance Smart Chain (BEP-20), Solana (SPL), and Polygon. This cross-chain deployment enables businesses to select the protocol that best balances speed, cost, and network activity. For example: - TRC-20 USDT is popular in Asia due to low fees. - ERC-20 USDT is favored in institutional DeFi platforms. For a step-by-step breakdown on how to integrate USDT payments into your online store or digital platform, check out our in-depth guide on the best USDT payment gateway for business at XAIGATE. USDT in Real-World Payments: Current Use Cases International Payroll Companies hiring remote workers now use USDT to pay salaries globally in a matter of seconds, avoiding high bank fees and currency conversion losses. B2B Cross-Border Trade Manufacturers and wholesalers in emerging markets use USDT to settle international invoices, eliminating the delays and costs of SWIFT or traditional remittance services. Merchant Adoption Retailers in crypto-friendly jurisdictions are increasingly accepting USDT via gateways like XAIGATE. It offers customers a fast, private, and irreversible payment option without currency volatility. Technological Trends Shaping the Future of USDT Payments Layer-2 Scaling and Gas Efficiency As congestion and fees on mainnets like Ethereum persist, the rise of Layer-2 networks—such as Arbitrum, zkSync, and Optimism—presents a promising future for USDT microtransactions. Gas fees drop from dollars to cents, enabling everyday retail and online purchases. Integration With Web3 Wallets and dApps USDT is being integrated into decentralized apps and Web3 wallets like MetaMask, Phantom, and Trust Wallet, enabling users to pay or receive funds across borders without intermediaries. AI and Smart Routing in Stablecoin Payments Emerging smart contract-based payment systems can automatically route USDT across chains and protocols for the lowest fees and fastest confirmations, optimizing both B2B and retail usage. Technological Trends Shaping the Future of USDT Payments Future Projections: What Will the Next 5 Years Look Like? Widespread Retail Adoption We’re likely to see more POS systems and eCommerce platforms natively support USDT, especially in crypto-forward countries. QR code payments and one-click checkout via stablecoin wallets could rival traditional credit cards. Embedded Finance and API-Based Payment Flows As XAIGATE and other platforms improve API flexibility, businesses can build USDT payments directly into their apps, games, and services—without needing custodial gateways. Real-Time Global Settlement With blockchain interoperability, future USDT payment systems will support atomic swaps and real-time settlements between fiat and crypto. This could revolutionize supply chains, freelance platforms, and gig economies. Challenges to Address in the Future of USDT Payments Centralization and Reserve Transparency Despite Tether’s regular attestations, concerns persist over the composition and liquidity of reserves backing USDT. Increasing regulatory pressure will likely push for more frequent and detailed disclosures. On/Off Ramp Friction The success of USDT in commerce depends on efficient fiat on/off ramps. While platforms like MoonPay and Binance Pay are filling the gap, local regulations and KYC requirements still pose barriers in many countries. Volatility of Stablecoin Pegs While USDT is pegged to the USD, black swan events or market manipulations can threaten stability. Future implementations may involve algorithmic safeguards or dynamic collateralization to enhance resilience. To stay ahead in the evolving world of crypto commerce, businesses should explore robust solutions like XAIGATE. Learn how to streamline your stablecoin integration with our expert insights on the future-proof USDT gateway for global businesses:🔗 https://www.xaigate.com/usdt-payment-gateway-for-business/ Institutional Integration Will Accelerate the Future of USDT Payments Financial Giants Are Embracing Stablecoin Infrastructure Traditional finance players—including Visa, Mastercard, and major regional banks—are increasingly exploring blockchain-based payments. In this shift, USDT stands out due to its deep liquidity and global reach. Financial service providers in Asia, Europe, and Latin America are testing cross-border settlements using USDT, bypassing the SWIFT system. This momentum signals that the future of USDT payments is not just driven by crypto-native startups, but also by global institutions that recognize its potential for efficiency, transparency, and accessibility. Corporate Adoption for Treasury and Payroll Large corporations are beginning to hold USDT in their treasury reserves to hedge against fiat currency instability in emerging markets. Additionally, USDT is being used for real-time international payroll in industries such as freelance tech, BPO services, and logistics—where bank transfers are costly and slow. These use cases are critical in shaping the future of USDT payments for operational finance. Compliance-Ready Stablecoin Payments: A New Era for Global Businesses Web3 Identity Layers and zk-KYC Protocols One of the most critical enablers of mainstream USDT adoption is the emergence of on-chain compliance tools. Web3-native identity solutions—like decentralized identifiers (DIDs), verifiable credentials, and zero-knowledge KYC—allow payment processors to meet local regulations without exposing sensitive customer data. As these tools integrate with crypto payment gateways like XAIGATE, businesses can comply with regulatory requirements while preserving the privacy of their users, expanding the future of USDT payments into regulated sectors such as healthcare, education, and insurance. Tiered Risk and Regulatory Models Instead of a one-size-fits-all KYC process, the next generation of USDT payment systems will offer tiered access levels: P2P payments under a certain threshold may remain KYC-optional, while enterprise-level transactions can trigger automated compliance protocols. This model not only aligns with global regulatory trends but also preserves accessibility—a crucial factor in the future of USDT payments for borderless commerce. Conclusion: From Trading Tool to Global Payment Standard The trajectory of USDT is transitioning from speculative asset to utilitarian digital dollar. As global commerce grows increasingly borderless, USDT’s stability, speed, and availability give it a unique advantage over both fiat and crypto rivals. With innovations in scalability, regulation, and user experience on the horizon, the future of USDT payments looks more like a core pillar of the new digital economy than a temporary crypto trend. Businesses that integrate USDT payments today are not only improving efficiency—they are future-proofing for a financial system in transformation. FAQs – Future of USDT Payments Q1: Is USDT legal to use in global payments?Yes, in many jurisdictions. However, legality depends on local financial regulations and whether stablecoins are recognized under digital asset laws. Q2: How does USDT avoid volatility compared to Bitcoin or Ethereum?USDT is pegged to the US Dollar and backed by reserves, maintaining a near 1:1 price ratio with minimal fluctuation. Q3: Can I use USDT for recurring payments?Yes. Some platforms offer programmable USDT-based subscriptions using smart contracts or API-based invoicing systems. Q4: Which industries benefit most from USDT payments?E-commerce, remote work platforms, SaaS, logistics, and cross-border trade benefit greatly due to instant global transfer and low fees. Q5: How do I integrate USDT payments on my website?You can use gateways like XAIGATE to integrate no-login, low-fee USDT payment plugins into your eCommerce or business website.

So You’re Holding MATIC… Now What?

Stake It. Here’s How.

Let’s be real - crypto winter has taught a lot of us one thing: if your assets aren’t working for you, they’re just sitting there doing nothing.

If you’re holding $MATIC (aka Polygon), here’s some alpha you don’t want to ignore: you can stake Polygon and earn passive rewards just by delegating your tokens. No mining, no trading, no daily check-ins.

And yes, it’s real.

We just dropped a full guide that walks you through everything you need to know: https://simplystaking.com/polygon-staking-guide

What’s Polygon Staking, and Why Should You Care?

Polygon is one of the most widely used Layer 2s on Ethereum - and it runs on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) system. This means the network is secured by validators, and you can support them by staking your MATIC with them.

In return? You get a slice of the rewards.

It’s like helping the network run - and getting paid for it.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in the Guide:

What exactly Polygon staking is and how it works

How to avoid the common traps (like sketchy validators or hidden fees)

What kind of APY you can expect from staking MATIC

How to actually do it - using our Simply Staking dashboard, which makes the process almost ridiculously easy

How to monitor your rewards and unstake when you want

It’s a simple read, no gatekeeping, no fluff. Just straight-up crypto utility.

Why It Matters in 2025

Let’s be honest - staking used to be confusing. Now? It’s easier than ever.

You don’t need a node. You don’t need to give up custody of your tokens. And you don’t need to be a Web3 dev to do it.

If you can use MetaMask and click a few buttons, you can stake Polygon today.

The earlier you start, the more you earn - and the more you help keep the network decentralized and secure. It’s a win-win.

TL;DR?

Holding $MATIC and not staking it? You’re missing out.

Polygon staking = passive rewards + network support

We wrote the ultimate guide to help you start, safely and easily.

Read it here → https://simplystaking.com/polygon-staking-guide

Reblog if you’re into staking. Like if you’re earning those sweet MATIC rewards.

How to Submit a Guest Post on a Blockchain Blog

Guest posting on blockchain blogs helps boost your SEO and get your name in front of crypto readers.

But here's the thing- most sites get flooded with bad pitches and low-quality posts. If you want your guest post approved, you need to follow the right steps.

As you know, it starts with finding the right blogs. Then comes reading the guidelines, pitching smart, and writing content that adds value.

In this guide, I'll show you how to do each step the right way. Simple, clear, and focused on what actually works in 2025.

Step 1 – Find the Right Blockchain Blogs

Not all blockchain blogs are worth your time. You want sites that have real readers, good authority, and accept guest posts.

Use Google Search Operators

Search smart. Try:

blockchain "write for us"

crypto "submit a guest post"

site:blog.com "guest post guidelines"

These will lead you straight to blogs open to contributors.

Check Domain Authority & Traffic

Use tools like Ahrefs, Moz, or Semrush to check:

Domain Authority (DA) — Aim for 30+

Monthly traffic — Higher is better

Spam score — Avoid high-risk sites

Also, avoid blogs that only post guest content or look like link farms.

Look for Niche Relevance

The blog should cover the same type of content you plan to write. Read 2–3 posts. Make sure your topic fits. A good fit means higher chances of getting published.

Use Platforms Like 'Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Guest Posts'

There are services and curated lists that focus on this niche. Platforms labeled as cryptocurrency and blockchain guest posts can save time. They list blogs with contact info, DA scores, and submission rules. These can speed up your outreach process and help you focus on quality sites.

Step 2 – Read the Guest Post Guidelines

Before you write anything, check the blog’s guest post rules. Most blogs have a dedicated “Write for Us” or “Contribute” page.

Follow Format and Word Count

Each blog is different. But here’s what most want:

800 to 1,500 words

Clear subheadings (H2, H3)

Short paragraphs

No fluff

Stick to their style. If they use casual tone, match it.

Understand Link Rules

Some blogs allow one link in the body. Others are only in the bio. Many reject overly promotional content. Don’t force your links, make them fit naturally.

Also, check if they allow dofollow links. If they don’t say, ask.

Avoid These Common Mistakes

Ignoring the tone of the site

Sending generic or spun content

Copying content from other blogs

Following their rules shows you respect their site. That gets you closer to a “yes.”

Step 3 – Craft a Strong Pitch

A good pitch can get your foot in the door. A bad one ends up in trash. Keep it simple, clear, and personalized.

Use Their Name in the Email

Start by addressing the editor by name. If it’s not listed, check their About or Contact page. Avoid generic greetings like “Hi there.”

Suggest 2–3 Post Ideas

Don’t ask them what to write about. Pitch 2–3 solid titles that fit their blog. Keep them short and specific. For example:

“5 Common Crypto Scams and How to Avoid Them”

“Why Blockchain Security Matters in 2025”

Mention a few posts from their blog that you liked. This shows you’ve done your homework.

Keep It Short and Direct

Your pitch email should be 4–6 lines. Say who you are, what you want to write, and why it’s a good fit. End with a clear ask: “Can I send over a draft?”

Step 4 – Write a Quality Post

Once your pitch gets approved, your content needs to deliver. Write a post that adds real value and matches the blog’s style.

Add Value to Their Readers

Write like you’re helping someone, not selling something. Use real examples, current data, or recent trends. Make sure the post teaches or solves a problem.

Follow SEO Best Practices

Keep it optimized without keyword stuffing:

Use the main keyword in the title and intro

Add internal links to their existing posts

Link to trusted sources when needed

Use H2s and H3s for structure

Also, add a clear call to action if it fits the blog’s tone.

Include a Short Author Bio

At the end, write a short 2–3 line bio. Mention who you are and what you do. Include one link to your site or social profile. Don’t overdo it. Keep it clean and useful.

Step 5 – Submit and Follow Up

After writing, don’t just hit send and wait forever. There’s a right way to submit and follow up.

Submit via Email or Form

Most blogs will ask you to send your post by email or a contact form. Here’s what to include:

Your post as a Google Doc or Word file

A short author bio (2–3 lines)

A headshot (if requested)

Use a clear subject line like: “Guest Post Submission – [Your Title]”

Wait 7 Days Before Following Up

Give them time. If you don’t hear back in 7 days, send a short follow-up.

Example: “Hi [Name], just checking if you had a chance to review my guest post on [Title]. Let me know if you need anything else.”

Stay polite. One follow-up is enough. If there’s still no reply, move on to the next blog.

Final Tips

Guest posting isn’t just about links. It’s about building real relationships and trust in the crypto space.

Build Connections: Stay active in crypto forums, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Engage with blog owners before pitching.

Track Where You Publish: Keep a simple sheet with the blog name, link, date posted, and link type. This helps manage your backlink profile.

Don’t Reuse the Same Post: Each blog wants unique content. Never submit the same article to multiple sites.

As you know, consistency is key. The more good content you publish, the more trust and traffic you’ll build over time. Stick to these steps, and your blockchain guest posts will keep getting accepted.
