 I just came from watching Elon Musks announcement about their plans to take the first private passenger to fly around the moon on the BFR and I was yet again reminded about how exciting it is to be alive in a time like this. Being around to witness and actually be part of the pioneering days in human space exploration is one of those things that make me giddy with excitement. We are only just beginning this new era of exploration and I wish it would move a lot faster. The world we live in is so much bigger than the little blue planet we currently call home. Our current view of "the world" seems very limited indeed.

I switched the Aleysha domain name today from aleysha.co to aleysha.io! Just seems cooler and there is also a favicon now in the browser tab! I better start releasing something usable soon...
As mentioned earlier, I noticed the deficiencies of my model more pronounced after the printout. So I went ahead and tackled the ear a little today. I'm not after a completely realistic ear. It should still be simple and perhaps be a little elvish.  Also the head proportions changed a little. Aleysha's face is slightly longer now which makes her look more mature.  Think it will work better this way with the body proportions.
As of today it is possible to donate Bitcoin, EOS and Tron to the Aleysha project by using the addresses or scanning the QR codes in the footer of this website. (edit 29.11.2019: The footer is gone so it's only possible to donate bitcoin now)  After looking into how money works a little I have come to realize that the value of the money that we work hard for to buy things with is deteriorating due to behind the scenes money printing. What a normal person would go to jail for is done on a massive scale by central banks. Fiat currencies (US dollar, Euro, Pound etc.) in general have no intrinsic value since none of them are still tied to the gold standard. In other words they are backed by nothing. Money is an entry in a database that can be printed on paper and the printing and issuing is centrally controlled behind closed doors. Money is created out of thin air and used to buy things of real value within the economy by those who create it. This inflates the total money supply and devalues the money in your wallet. It's basically theft. Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin on the other hand are transparent, mathematically limited in supply and can not be controlled by a centralized authority. They are intrinsically scarce and therefor retain their value. They can be used to transact globally without borders or middle men and no authority can tell you what you are allowed to spend them on or can deny you access to your funds. At the time of writing the Zimbabwean dollar has gone into hyper inflation. 1USD is worth 92,233,720,368,547,760.00 ZWD and the ZWD is no longer a valid currency. The Turkish lira has lost around 45% of it's value over the past few weeks and other countries in emerging markets like Argentina, Iran and Venezuela are starting to be affected. We will see where we go from here.
