I picked up my max allotment, felt a little dumb for doing so considering how long the wait will be with no real guarantees the demand will be there. However after seeing that a lot of people didn’t buy even 1 let alone their max, I’m hoping there will be an opportunity for a decent flip. I’m still holding sealed comics for the same reason.

Today is the last day for Treasure Chest 2026 S1 claims, the first H.E.R.O. drop. I haven’t bought a single one, but I think I’ll get 1 for the fam. I’ve offered up all mine for sale and offered my services for consignment. I sold 5 total boxes. And nobody I’ve talked to wants to front the bill for 8 months for a guaranteed profit. It’s been super interesting talking to people about this product drop. I think when they come out people will be bummed they didn’t get more (myself included I’m sure). But I also completely understand why we are not getting them. I also firmly believe those who could front the bill will do exceptionally well on breaks/sales. Rare product with exclusive items and very few people selling them. Curious what the genuine thoughts from @garyvee and the @veefriends team is on this one. Was it planned to have a super low production all along or was the hope 5k + boxes would sell? Why choose a 7-8 month waiting period for the first H.E.R.O. drop? How many additional H.E.R.O. drops will there be before the TCs get shipped? Have you seen my baseball?

It feels like we’re approaching an era of exponentials. News cycles, AI, fintech, tokenization, personal finance, macroeconomics. The pace at which things are happening is faster than most of us can comprehend. There’s a constant sense of urgency to keep up or fall behind in every area of human life. It feels as if time itself is beginning to blur. I often find myself a bit overwhelmed with it all. But despite those feelings, I can’t help but think, what a time to be alive. So much opportunity, so many ways it can go right. There is always something new to learn, and it’s never been easier to do so. Since the opportunities and information are in an infinite supply these days, I want to learn to better manage my finite resources. Time and attention. There are a million things I can pick up my phone and do, and just as many ways that I can spend my day. But there’s only so much time and so much attention a single person can commit to anything. So what do you do? The answer can’t be nothing. Exponentials work in both directions. If you’re not getting better, you’re getting worse, because everyone else out there is getting better. I don’t have any answers at the moment, and I definitely don’t claim to be an expert on anything. I’m just another human screaming into the void of the internet, just to see what might come back.

It feels like 2026 is going to be an impactful year.

$25k? Probably not in this economy, but if ETH were to hit $10k+ I bet someone would pull the trigger. Kudos to him though, you’ll never get what you don’t ask for 🤷🏻‍♂️ I use a similar technique in my eBay store, if I want to get $120 for an item I might list it for $150 that way when the best offer for $125 rolls in everyone gets a win. But every now and then the item gets purchased at the higher price, just reminds me to continue to think bigger and avoid those self imposed limiting beliefs.

Is this a 25k Coin? I honestly have no idea, and hope he gets his price here.

@T1MLivingston I love to hear that. Also hear me when I say I’m not trying to be yet another voice in your opposition. I agree with some of your points. But I can feel the anguish building in you through the screen. Take care of yourself, enjoy the time with mom!

@_Matt_Long Going to touch grass soon moms on here way to pick me up for coffee 💚. Appreciate the advice Matt!!

Never felt like less of a VeeFriend If you’re thinking of voicing a concern here, 10/10 would not recommend

Does anyone actively keep a journal? If so, please share the where/what/when/why/how you do it. I’ve kept a very basic bullet journal in a spreadsheet off and on the last several years, but I think I might be interested in changing it up.

@JustinBonz Haha the struggle is real

@_Matt_Long I agree. I keep telling myself this right before that bowl of ice cream before bed. 😜 🍦

It’s never too late to start over.

SC Top 10 🤙

@TommyKing_28 @CoachSBeamer OL is the most important position on the field. If you don’t know that, you don’t know ball. Tough to score touchdowns with no blocking.

@CoachSBeamer Now try getting 5 Stars that’s actually going to have the ball in their hands. You know.. to score touchdowns?

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #WelcomeHome #WhosNext ?

"If I saw the South Carolina Gamecocks pop up on the bracket as my first-round matchup, I wouldn't be happy with the way we're playing right now." @CoachSBeamer on why @GamecockFB should be in the CFB Playoff 🤙

@aufanjk @Blain_Crain It’s not about being penalized for losing your conference championship game, it’s being penalized for looking like a JV team vs a Clemson team that lost to the SEC twice this season. Their 11-2 is not the same as the 9-3 SEC teams

@Blain_Crain If you do, it will set a precedence to not play the conference championship game. SMU doesn't play today and they are in. 11-2 is better than 9-3, 2 losses to top 25 teams the other has 2 losses to 6-6 teams, not saying they aren't the better team but can't be penalized for CCG

I’m taking Alabama, South Carolina, and Ole Miss over SMU any day of the week, seven days a week.
