R is For Restaurant - or here is what we got after spending 4 days in Batumi - dealing with a ton of real estate developers, cheesecakes and chocolate fondants, blue skies, and swimming pools. Hyper lapses and long-range drone flights.

Best Western Premier Batumi Hotel

Bitcoin, Gym, SP 500 and Tbilisi

Another interesting week has started here in Tbilisi.

Once I was at the gym Bitcoin tumbled another 1000 points, and I had a chance to think a lot about liquidity issues.
