It took us over a decade to finally make it to Schuchmann Wines Château & Spa, and it was well worth the wait! We’ve spent years recommending this stunning winery hotel to visiting friends and business partners, yet somehow, we had never experienced it firsthand—until now.Back in 2011, when I first relocated to Georgia, Schuchmann Wines was already on…

When it comes to investing, everyone has their unique strategies, and sometimes they stem from habits or even indulgences. In my case, my McDonald's (MCD) stock accumulation journey has been as much about embracing a system as it has been about personal irony. Despite actively avoiding McDonald's food to stay fit, I’ve developed the habit of buying 0.1…

The financial markets can be unpredictable, especially when unexpected developments disrupt trading strategies. Recently, NVIDIA (NVDA), a major player in the AI sector, faced significant volatility due to news about the Chinese DeepSeek AI platform, sparking concerns about a potential AI bubble in the U.S. Here’s how I adjusted my NVDA trade and planned my…

On January 20, I closed my contango trade with Bitcoin futures. It was supposed to be market neutral with small but steady returns, but I didn’t want to deal with too many complicated setups. I prefer directional trades—puts or calls—so I closed the short futures contract and kept the long perpetual contract with an average buy price of $102,500. At the…

If you’re on Kostava Street in Tbilisi, keep an eye out for Khushi Indian Restaurant, a nice little place serving Indian food. It’s right next to Medi Dental Clinic (my go-to dentist) and close to where the Gladius Jiu-Jitsu Club used to be. Funny enough, a few years back, this spot was home to a Czech restaurant. Now, it’s all about Indian spices and…

Tbilisi Circus is an iconic part of the city's cultural landscape. Having lived in Georgia since 2011, I have passed by the Tbilisi Circus almost every day. However, it wasn’t until I attended a show that I truly appreciated its grandeur and rich history. I was fascinated by the performances and surprised to learn that Lavrentiy Beria, a key Soviet figure,…

Every other day, I open LinkedIn and see another Bitcoin believer trying to "educate" the non-believers. The usual spiel: "There are only 21 million Bitcoins that will ever exist! Bitcoin is the ultimate anti-inflationary asset!" Yeah, yeah, we've all heard it before. But let's be honest—do you really believe what you're saying?Personally, I don't exclude a…

On January 17, 2025, I made the decision to double our Bitcoin holdings for the Terramatris Crypto Hedge Fund, bringing our total position to 0.02 BTC. This purchase was financed using margin on the ByBit platform, aligned with our strategy to accumulate at least 0.05 BTC by the end of 2025. With 0.03 BTC to go, this move marks another step toward our goal.…

At the start of 2025, during a short stay in New Delhi, I had the pleasure of discovering Qavalli Aerocity Indian Restaurant. Located in the vibrant Aerocity area, this dining spot stands out for its inviting ambiance and mouthwatering Indian cuisine. As someone who follows a primarily vegan diet but still enjoys fish occasionally, I was eager to see how…

On January 10, I was holding a covered call on Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), a dividend-paying stock, with the expectation that it would expire worthless. With an hour left before the market closed, BMY was trading above my strike price, and I was confident in the position.With the situation in BMY seemingly under control, I opened a weekly put spread on Nike…
