Diary saves the day

The Brett Kavanaugh Story

Never has there been a better example of the need for a diary, than the story of US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

It was in 2018 that Judge Kavanaugh was nominated for appointment to the Supreme Court by President Donald Trump. Fearing conservative values within the highest court, many on the other side of politics sought to put a stop to the certification. Coincidentally, it was at this exact same time when allegations were first raised about Judge Kavanaugh’s involvement in a sexual assault – back in 1982.

How does one go about disproving an event which is said to have occurred 36 years earlier?

With a diary of course!

This diary.

His diary, kept upon a NorthWestern Mutual Audubon Calendar, was deemed substantive enough to clear Judge Kavanaugh of wrongdoing and the confirmation proceeded. If not for the diary however, Judge Kavanaugh’s career may have been left in tatters.

At Goldsmith Money we discuss diaries ad nauseum – diary, diary, diary.

Successful people keep diaries!

Simple.

Yes, it drives self-improvement through focus, reflection and documented achievement. Of course it does. But it is so much more.

A diary could, as in the case above, prove your innocence. Perhaps in a Court of Law or in the Court of Public Opinion.

Judge Kavanagh’s mother, a judge; and father, an attorney – both highly successful in their own right, had drilled into a young Brett, the importance of keeping a diary. As it turns out, it was perhaps the best advice that two loving parents could have given their son. Now it is your turn.

We have given you the tool – Daily Telos. A blockchain diary, which anyone can use.

Daily Telos is an inexpensive means to record your diary, calendar or journal onto a blockchain.

Trustless, decentralised, timestamped and permanent. So long as the Telos blockchain exists, so too will your diary entry. It is quite possible that your legacy will exist upon the blockchain, until the end of time.

We encourage you to give Daily Telos a go today. It is both easy and engaging. The link to the Daily Telos calendar page is below and you will find getting started links there.

It is important to remember, the success of Judge Kavanaugh’s diary in this case, stemmed from his daily use of it. It was the brief, yet daily entries made throughout his life, which demonstrated that his diary was reliable. And that he was a fit and proper person, worthy of the coveted position of US Supreme Court Justice.

Goldsmith Money has understood the financial benefits of a journals and diaries for a long time. However, until now they were best kept in a book or in a digital form you could trust. Well now we have the blockchain. And the blockchain has taken diary and journal storage and maintenance to a whole new level.

We developed Daily Telos as a diary / journal tool for all to use. Built on the Telos blockchain, Daily Telos could be considered public, decentralised and trustless. Your diary can never be lost and it can never be destroyed.

Used as an anonymous public diary or journal you can achieve the 10 benefits outlined by Mr Thai Nguyen, with much convenience.

Used as an open public diary or journal – in addition to the above you might be bridging the gap between traditional journaling and modern social media. By publishing specifics of your targets, trials and achievements you will be publicly bound to your goals – without the tiresome commentary, criticisms and trolls that go with it.

The link to Daily Telos is here.



Getting started on the Telos blockchain is the hardest part – but you will find more information here. And really, this is an easy way to make the leap into blockchain.

As for Telos itself – Telos is a rapidly growing 3rd Generation blockchain, with some very impressive people involved in its ongoing development. Learn more here.

Finally, for those on Telos now – what are you waiting for? Why not jump onto Daily Telos and give it a go today!

10 Surprising Benefits You’ll Get From Journaling

Anne Frank

A blockchain diary?

Few diaries are more important to the world than Ms Anne Frank’s. The posthumous release of the personal diary she kept in her family’s secret annex in Amsterdam, helped educate the world to the atrocities committed by Germany’s National Socialist (Nazi) party.

Unfortunately for Ms Frank, she did not survive to publish the diary herself. Ms Frank died of exhaustion in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. It was her father Mr Otto Frank who found the diary after the war and in 1947 he had it published.

The following year the United Nations adopted a Universal Declaration of Human Rights, to ensure this type of evil would never happen again. No doubt the diary of Ms Frank played a role in this policy development.

Anne Frank’s Diary

So what if… what if Ms Frank had taken her diary to the world in real-time? What if she could have published her diary whilst in hiding, on a public, decentralised and uncensored blockchain?

Might the world have known about the atrocities sooner?

Might this have changed the duration of war?

Might it have made a rescue mission possible?

Or might it have simply meant that the Nazi’s would have found the family sooner?

In the case of Ms Frank, the answers to these questions will remain an unknown. Simply a debate for historical scholars, for many years to come. There is no doubt however, that the Anne Frank Diary has had a profound impact on the world and so too the life of this young girl.

The question remains though…

What impact will your life story have on the world?

Should you wish your life to have an impact on the world, you must do as all successful people do – keep a personal diary or journal.

On 21 December 2020, we published a story on just this very subject.

The Diary

By on • ( 2 Comments )

The hidden secret of successful people

What do Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, James Cook, Thomas Edison, Mark Twain and Leonardo Di Vinci all have in common?


If you answered – ‘they all kept a diary’, you would be correct.

A log, a journal, a diary – regardless of what you call it, this document is a ‘tool for success‘.

A daily or event driven diary ensures focus, encourages reflection, fosters improvement and documents achievement.

Whether you are a business executive; a sportsperson; a lawyer; a policeman; an artist; parent; teacher; student; blockchain engineer; or manager of a virtual soccer team – you will never reach your full potential without a diary.

Which is why Goldsmith Money has been relatively quiet on the blogging front for the past 3 months. We have been building a tool for you, the Financial Awakened. We have built for you a personal diary tool, which we call ‘Daily Telos’.

The ‘Telos‘, known in Ancient Greek as the ‘divine purpose’ seemed a highly appropriate name for this tool. Furthermore, it is also the name of the lightning fast, third generation blockchain our digital diary is built upon.
