Creatix Money / August 21, 2025 Bitcoin Keeps Beating the Market For more than a decade, skeptics have called Bitcoin everything from “digital tulips” to a “speculative bubble.” Critics said it was destined to collapse, an internet oddity that would fade once regulators, volatility, or common sense caught up with it. And yet, here we are again in 2025—Bitcoin is not only alive, it’s outperforming the stock market by a wide margin. The Numbers Don’t Lie As of mid-August 2025, Bitcoin is up roughly 21–24% year-to-date . Compare that to the S&P 500’s 8–9% gain over the same period. In other words, Bitcoin has delivered nearly double or triple the return of the world’s most trusted equity benchmark. That outperformance isn’t just a statistical fluke. Bitcoin has consistently shown it can rally harder and faster than traditional assets when global liquidity rises, investor sentiment tilts risk-on, or institutional adoption deepens. This year, Bitcoin ETFs, corporate treasury allocatio...

Creatix History / August 20, 2025 Why Jesus Didn’t Drink Coffee Jesus and His Affection for Wine From the beginning of his public ministry to the solemnity of the Last Supper, Jesus is consistently associated with wine. His very first miracle at Cana was the transformation of water into wine. This miracle not only saved a wedding celebration but also symbolized joy, abundance, and the inauguration of his ministry. During his final days, wine became central again at the Last Supper. Jesus lifted his cup of red wine, declaring it the “new covenant in my blood,”.  This gave wine a profound sacramental role that endures in Christian practice to this day, especially in the Catholic tradition where the wine turns into the blood of Christ during mass. The Gospels also record how often Jesus shared meals and drinks with others. His willingness to join feasts and drinking wine even drew criticism from his opponents. According to Luke, the Jews accused him of being “a glutton and a drunkard”...

Creatix Politics / August 19, 2025  Trump Could Live to 100: Lessons from Philippe Pétain and Jean-Marie Le Pen Disclaimer: We think President Trump is doing a fantastic job keeping his promises and pursuing his vision of putting America First to Make America Great Again. We give them a 9 out of 10 so far in the second term. We don't give him a 10 because he's not resting enough. He is overworking himself and that will most likely take a significant negative toll in his health. Now, we could be wrong, again.  Throughout modern history, certain political figures have defied expectations not only by shaping national politics but also by enduring far longer than their critics predicted. Donald J. Trump (born 1946), still energetically dominating American politics well into his late seventies, now raises speculation about whether he could thrive into his nineties or even past 100. The comparison becomes compelling when set against two French leaders: Philippe Pétain (1856–1951), w...

Creatix Fiction / August 18, 2025 [CLICK HERE FOR ALL CHAPTERS PUBLISHED TO DATE] Chapter 5 – Imagine the Future  -- Tysons Corner, Virginia - May 2001 -- The twins were on the phone, their voices carrying that familiar mix of rivalry and camaraderie.     “Can you believe this line?” said  Twin #1 , pacing outside Tysons Corner Center. “I’ve been standing here since 7 a.m., and it’s like a rock concert for nerds. Apple’s really pulling it off.”     “You’re really wasting your Saturday for a computer store?”  Twin #2  laughed from his condo. “You could’ve just gone to Best Buy.” “Not the same,”  Twin #1  shot back. “This feels… different. You should see it—sleek glass, clean lines, people cheering. It’s like walking into the future.” Twin #2  smirked. “Funny you mention that. You know that new kid at the office? The one management’s been running background on? He’s obsessed with Apple. Says Steve Jobs is about to reinvent e...

Creatix / August 17, 2025 The Third Device Pipedream: Why Companion AI Gadgets Are Doomed "I want a third device" said no one. Tech history repeats itself. Every few years, tech entrepreneurs dream of inventing a new category of device that will “revolutionize” our lives. The fad quietly fades away when consumers realize they don’t want to juggle yet another gadget. The latest hype? Standalone “companion” AI devices. The reality? They’ll go the way of the Garmin GPS, the once-trendy iPad, Facebook's meta flop called Portal, Apple Vision Pro, and so many others failed attempts at increasing indispensable gadget and "companions". Make no mistake, AI "companions" are coming and will be a huge success. However, they will be integrated with smartphone. The "phone" (handheld mobile computer that makes calls and much more) will be the AI companion.   The Lesson of GPS Devices and Digital Cameras If you’re old enough, you might remember the glory day...

Creatix Reviews / Amazon Affiliate Sales / August 17, 2025 Who Needs an Air Styler ? Everyone If you’ve ever wished your blow dryer, curling iron, and straightener could merge into one tool, you’re not alone. That’s exactly what a multi-styler —sometimes called an air styler —is designed to do. These devices use powerful airflow and controlled heat to dry and style hair simultaneously, replacing the need for multiple hot tools. With a single base and a set of interchangeable attachments, you can switch from sleek blowouts to bouncy curls to smooth, frizz-free finishes without juggling different gadgets. Who Benefits from a Multi-Styler? Busy professionals or parents : If time is short, a multi-styler can cut your routine in half by drying and styling at once. People concerned about heat damage : Unlike traditional irons that rely on extreme temperatures, multi-stylers keep heat at safer levels while still shaping hair effectively. Anyone who loves versatility : With multiple ...

Creatix / August 16, 2025 Walk into a Walmart—or any big-box store—and you’ll see the modern cathedral of consumerism. Aisle after aisle, stacked high with plastic gizmos, synthetic clothing, disposable decorations, gadgets nobody asked for, and seasonal junk that will break before the next holiday. Aisles are already packed top to bottom with Halloween stuff, all made in China. It’s the cult of endless consumption, a religion of “more” with no higher purpose than filling carts, draining wallets, and harming mental health. This isn’t prosperity—it’s pathology. Globalization made it possible. Cheap overseas labor, weak regulations, and massive container ships have turned America into a dumping ground for low-quality trinkets of all colors and sizes. These are the modern-day opium wars where the drug is a cheap product on sale. What economists call economic “growth” is, in many ways, like cancer growth or like excessive weight gain: expanding waistlines of stuff, swelling closets, garage...

Creatix /  August 15, 2025  History was made on the icy shores of Alaska today as President Donald J. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin emerged from hours of high-stakes diplomacy with what both leaders described as a new chapter in U.S.–Russia relations. While no formal cease-fire was announced, the tone, substance, and symbolism of the meeting mark the boldest step toward peace in Ukraine since the first shots were fired. From Cold War Lows to Constructive Dialogue Putin, speaking alongside Trump, called the talks “constructive” and noted bluntly that U.S.–Russia relations had sunk “to the lowest point since the Cold War.” That candor set the stage for what he described as a mutual decision to “move from confrontation to dialogue.” It was a rare public acknowledgment from the Kremlin of the urgent need for diplomatic recalibration, and a clear sign that Trump’s personal engagement is shifting the strategic weather. Ukraine: Toward a Framework for Peace On the war i...
