Easter lunch with the family got me thinking.
Most people default to London, Barcelona, or Amsterdam for their kids. Great cities. Also: €2,500/month for a 3BR in Amsterdam. £15K/year school fees in London. Per child.
A friend of mine, well-known author, just moved his family from Lisbon to Genoa. Nobody saw that coming. His reason: the food, the proximity to France, one of Europe's best pediatric hospitals.
That conversation sent me down a rabbit hole.
7 cities where your family will actually thrive, usually not that considered, that I'd opt in for myself.

This is proof you can do things in Italy: this guy literally is doing it in Sicily, successfully.
I am calling it: some rural areas in Europe will appreciate exponentially.
The next trend is moving out from cities. New communities, new spots. And we are early.

There is this British guy that is single handedly giving some of Italy's dying villages a new life. He's 33 and from London. Couldn't afford to live there anymore so he moved to a small village in Sicily called Mussomeli (the one that went viral a few years ago for its €1 housing scheme). He bought 2 houses through the scheme and has been renovating them himself, documenting everything on Instagram. Grew to around 800k followers across his socials in the process and now the mayor of a nearby town has reached out and asked him to partner up on a similar scheme there. They're planning to sell around 100 houses together, while also promoting Sicily to an international audience. He's also buying 3 of those himself, bringing his total to 5. Channel 4 are joining him too btw, so this is now national news in the UK. I'm frequently asked how hard renovation in Italy is. My answer is always the same, it's not easy, especially in smaller villages..but possible. This guy has done it multiple times over and in Sicily of all places. He's even starting to look like a Sicilian.

SHOCKING: 99% people using Claude are barely scratching the surface.
Right now, the entire internet is screaming “Claude, Claude, Claude”...
But here’s the truth: just chatting with it won’t change your life.
To unlock its real power, you need to master:
• agentic workflows
• Claude Code
• skills, automation & system-level usage
I spent 100+ hours researching and compiled the best Claude resources from across the entire internet — videos, repos, guides, books, and papers.
I’ll give it to only 4,500 people.
To get it:
1. Follow me MUST (so i can dm)
2. Comment “Claude”
3. I’ll DM you the document 📩
If you don’t follow or comment, you won’t receive it

This one means a lot to us.
@EigenYields, a leading operator on EigenLayer, has committed one of the first capital delegations to Catalysis.
This capital is going straight into underwriting economic risks for Tier-1 @Morpho vaults.
This is a big moment for us and here's why 🧵

@0xcatalysis @eigencloud Finally a legit insurance product in crypto.

DeFi’s first native risk coverage layer for vaults is almost here.
With vault-native risk coverage, we at Catalysis are embedding programmable downside protection directly into vault deposits.
Backed by restaked capital from @eigencloud earmarked for underwriting DeFi vault risks.
Here’s how it works🧵

Catalysis 2025 Roundup: The year onchain risk coverage became inevitable.
This year institutions moved onchain at full velocity.
Restaking matured into financial guarantees. RWA credit expanded, stablecoin rails grew massively.
Bottleneck? Risk scaled faster than protection.

Working in crypto investment banking throughout the OG DeFi summer in 2020, one of the top 3 deterrents for institutions joining the party was:
“Web3 has no legitimate insurance
Protocol - nothing remotely close to sufficient for us to go onchain”
Fast forward 5+ years, I believe my guys @dhruvbodani and @xenowits have built a step function upgrade to onchain coverage.
Web3 is finally ready for instituions. Bullish @0xcatalysis .
Catalysis - Mainnet soon!@0xcatalysis
Today, we announce Catalysis’ NEW focus: Onchain Risk Coverage purpose-built for INSTITUTIONAL scale. > $20B+ in protection from @symbioticfi and others > Transparent pricing & programmable payouts > Institution-first design > Supported by @SpiceProtocol, @BimaBTC and @MEVCapital Why did we pivot? ⬇️
