Hey, name’s Yuri.
Thanks for visiting my plaсe on the internet. I’m a 20-something yo normie born in Moscow, Russia and leaving in... (kidding, not gonna reveal where I’m leaving). I just got a Bachelor’s degree in economics and am trying to find myself in the Web3 world, while not being formally employed.
Interests
Even though the interests of mine are very inconsistent, below is a list of things I generally like and have some user-level experience in.
IT
Cryptography, cryptocurrencies , cybersecurity
Linux styling and powerusing
I like privacy and am amazed by how people find clever solutions to major challenges of the modern world. Plus, I just like things being ordered.
Sports
- Ice Hockey
It’s is a pretty complex game demanding body endurance, quick decision making and high precision in moves. Gives me a rare feeling of physical and mental relief while the competitive nature of this sport is something driving me forward and keeping me excited in the longer run.
Gym workouts are something I just cannot let myself stop doing cuz if I quit - there’s no way back due to my lazyness. Momentum keeps me floating.
- PC gaming
Games that I play are mostly online ones and require a voice chat e.g. Rocket League
, PUBG
or Fortnite
. Playing solo is like drinking alone: strange and cringe.
Other hobbies
Traveling & photography
Acoustic & Nylon guitar

Preface to the website
Why am I spending 10$ a year on hosting this shit?
- to explain technologies/concepts/principles that I personally find right/legit to the broader audience (aka blue-pilled normies)
- to force myself diving deeper into the little things I find exciting
- for the further reference
- some selfish “pls notice me” factor is certainly involved
