Holly and I had a great visit with authors and editors Stephen and Sharon Provost yesterday, as they made a stop in Lexington on their way to AuthorCon VI in Williamsburg, VA. Great folks and really enjoyed it!

Be careful, my creative friends, this week I've helped multiple individuals who have been preyed upon by scammers in the realm of creative services, to an egregious degree. Vet, check testimonials, use references of previous clients. And it is ALWAYS your right to say no to someone pressuring you.
I highly recommend the 2026 Conference of Writers that is hosted by the Bluegrass Writers Coalition. Holly and I love this event, it is first rate and always features great guests, programming, and people attending. Well worth attending. Check it out!
We still have cash. When cash is phased out, and replaced entirely by a fully digital currency, one that is programmable, like a CBDC, it will be an entirely different scenario. It's why I always advocate for people to use cash, support cash, and resist attempts to get rid of it.
Again, it will be cashless in nature, a digital programmable asset, most likely through the implementation of CBDC's. These are blockchain based, programmable, and very capable of being regulated in how they are spent. No matter what they are sold as initially, it's likely how they will develop.
UBI in the future would be governed by blockchain technology and would be cashless in nature. A progammable asset. Models for this are actively being developed and tested.
What I have in the book is a form of UBI and the system is purely digital in nature. Universal basic income can absolutely be cashless in nature, through CBDC's or another form of digital currency. Can be programmable and also be set to where it cannot be "saved" in the future.
Return to a world that is cashless, surveilled, regulated, and managed thoroughly for everyone in it…except for a select few that hold the reins of power. A place where VR, AR, AGI, and UBI are the norm. It is also a place where a few have discovered something far bigger and greater beyond.
great to hear you are making things happen right away in this new year! :)
