Negative Freeroll

@Breedlove22 This is a very good writeup, thanks.

The victim mentality almost destroyed my ability to lead, love, and grow. Here is how I broke free from it: For years, I unconsciously played the blame game (the way most people do). By the time I understood what it was costing me, I had already wasted years of emotional energy, damaged relationships, and handed over the steering wheel of my life to people and circumstances that had no business driving. It nearly became a permanent way of operating. Others I've watched do the same thing never came back from it. They aged into their resentments. Became bitter. Isolated. Stuck. We had the same capacity for freedom – they just never chose it. So here is how I found my way out: 1. The first turning point was realizing blame is a transaction. Blame buys you innocence, sympathy, and the right to stay exactly where you are. Once you see you're collecting a payoff, you can no longer pretend it's something happening to you. By reframing adversity as something happening for you rather than to you, you can transform your habit of blaming into spiritual growth. 2. The second turning point was Viktor Frankl. A man who lost his family, his freedom, and everything he owned inside a N*zi concentration camp... and still chose to respond from a place of love. He called it the final human freedom (the space between what happens to you and how you respond, the one place no external circumstance can reach). When I really sat with that, I stopped being able to justify my own smaller grievances the way I had been. If he could exercise that freedom there, I had no excuse not to exercise it everywhere. It felt uncomfortable (the way responsibility always does) but also like reclaiming something that had always been mine. 3. The third turning point was the daily practice. Understanding something intellectually and living it are two completely different things. What I did every day was simple: Whenever I noticed the urge to blame, to tell myself a story of what someone did to me or what circumstance derailed me, I stopped and asked myself – what is the payoff I'm collecting right now? Self-pity. Sympathy. Innocence. The right to stay small. I started letting these things go rather than using them to write my story. The result was simple. I stopped being a victim of my circumstances and started being the author of them. That's what personal sovereignty actually feels like. I'm not special and I'm not better than anyone who's struggled with the blame game. I just got honest with myself about what I was actually doing and chose to walk a new path in life. If you find yourself pointing the finger outward more than inward right now, this is your sign. Blame has never solved a single problem in the history of the world. But personal responsibility has solved every problem that has ever been solved.

@jackfriks @postbridge_ Haha you got me there for a sec.

i sold my company @postbridge_ for $4,206,969 i cant believe it, but i just closed the final documents and got the wire into my account this morning.

@TimurNegru Is it possible to rent it out as a vacation rental?

There's a private gated estate on the Island of Elba that most people have never heard of. It's called Capo d'Arco. Over 100 hectares (247 acres) inside the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. Accessible only to owners and their guests, controlled by a private security gate. Saltwater and freshwater pools overlooking the Mediterranean, private beach, restaurants, tennis courts, nature trails. Around 200 homes total. A penthouse just came up for sale there. Top floor, 84m² (904 sq ft), 2 beds/2 baths, sea view terrace, parking included. €245k ($282k). And if you can work remotely, this place looks like heaven. The kind of property that would make me choose it over a house I think.

@kevinxu @alpha_ai Do you ever use leverage?

just went ALL IN $IREN 🚀 - bitcoin miner switched to Al training - signed a HUGE $9.7 billion msft contract - chip war will be intense this year - fully vertically integrated in US - strong balance sheet - i like the chart setup did my research on @alpha_ai and alerted first on @AfterHour_HQ (username: sirjack). this is my challenge account where i restarted with $35k to go all-in swing trading 1 stock at a time. currently at $45k. previous swing was $FIG which i sold for small 3% profit. i still like the stock, but sold it cause it was moving kinda slow and $IREN looks like has better momentum and volume. next catalyst is earnings on feb 11.

@BobLoukas NanoGPT

People getting really comfortable sharing a lot of very diverse (financial, medial, legal, personal) detail with chatgpt, all while subscribed with their primary PII gmail account. Sounds like a horrible idea to me.

@mert Well, are they really sidelined? They can still buy now—just with way fewer multiples than they wanted.

people would rather believe the above than admit that they sidelined themselves due to poor thinking and emotion incredible

there's a person in crypto so rich that they are simultaneously paying off cobie, naval, balaji, me, tim ferris, hayes, gainzy, path, ansem, the winklevoss twins, toly and more (all of whom require just one final OTC KOL deal to finally make it) either that or I'm retarded

@m0ldilocks @cantos @collabfund This is great! Will it also be available in Europe?

Three years ago I got sick from something most people overlook: mold exposure. Today, that journey comes full circle: we’re announcing MoldCo’s $8M Seed (total $11M), led by @cantos + @collabfund, to build the new standard of care for mold and chronic inflammation. The mission is clear: to serve patients who’ve waited far too long for answers. To celebrate, we’re giving away 50 free lab tests. Comment “labs” to claim one and we’ll DM you!

@TimurNegru Does Italy also have something like this coming?

Thinking of buying that Spanish apartment for Airbnb income? Stop. Here's the non-obvious truth: As of 2025, Spain's 'Horizontal Property Law' requires you to get approval from 60% of your neighbors to get a tourist license. Your 'Comunidad' can legally kill your rental business before it starts. This is why a detached villa (which bypasses this law) is often the only viable path for a new rental investment.

Who’d you pick as the next Bond?

@yongfook 🤣

On a SaaS landing page: "Replace your developers with AI" *scroll down* "We're hiring developers!"

@elonmusk Ok but isn't one of the problems the loss of energy when transported to other countries?

To be clear, I mean solar+batteries, not just solar. The entire Starlink constellation of over 7000 satellites, which go through Earth shadow many times per day, are just powered by solar+batteries. And Earth is just a giant satellite.

True. Simple math. Even a patch of Spain could power all of Europe with solar.

@OlgaBazova He is already wearing his helmet!

From the position of strength: Estonian deputies refused to recognize the talks in Alaska if Ukraine is not involved there.

@elonmusk He made the mistake of appointing his son as his successor, which caused harm to Rome

I wonder if Marcus Aurelius could have done more to carry Rome to greater heights or whether that was as good a job as could have been done

@DoerflerJared @HannaGolfCo Keep grinding. Success isn't linear

I gave myself my first raise this week. From $500 to $1,000. Not much - but it's progress. Been working on @HannaGolfCo for almost two years now. I went 18 months without paying myself anything. And have been at $500 a month since January. It's been humbling. At the same time, it has been so damn freeing. Hard to explain. Truly grateful to the 600+ people who have received putters from us. And giving us a shot. We are slowly climbing the ladder. And we will keep chopping wood. So damn excited for the future.
