My proprietary trading pair was not supposed to be leaked:
Your asset / Elon’s net worth

My favorite bridge in the world. This is where I spent hundreds of days alone, with friends or waiting excitedly for them. I like to go here and tell my past self that it all works out.

@defyneric We are happy you here Eric! But maybe every once and a while.... 🤣

i’ve spent 7 hours day on X for the last 6 months and my entire life has changed for the better.
if there is one tip I’d have to share is:
post more tweets.
because of the value i shared on here i’ve been able to:
> meet some exceptionally smart people
> have conversations with billionaires i never imagined i'd be talking to
> join an exceptional fintech in @FlexSuperApp
> made life long friends (yk who you are)
extremely grateful to the entire @X platform and to @elonmusk and @nikitabier for building what i genuinely believe is the best social platform in the world.

Why is everyone just saying this about private jet liberal @RoKhanna today? @m2jr has said this multiple times years ago.
David Marcus@davidmarcus
After the last Presidential election, Ro Khanna reached out. We had a short meeting where he pitched himself as the centrist, pro-DOGE, pro-Elon Democrat. I didn’t follow up. He then steered hard left to feed his ambitions. This man blows with the wind. I have the receipts.

@NobelDing @CamiloBAcosta @lucy_guo Then why are you so mean to her? If it isn't about private information... what is it. There are over 6 billion people in the world. Why you obsessed with her?
Is it coordinated as @CamiloBAcosta suggested?
Sacramento, CA 🇺🇸 English
@Bryan_Barton @CamiloBAcosta @lucy_guo Never reached out to her and have no intention on doing so. What private information did I publish?
English
There is a coordinated online campaign against @lucy_guo when she has done nothing wrong. She’s a serial entrepreneur, angel investor, a VC at one point, and is genuinely kind person. She is a net positive to the startup ecosystem. Question the motives of these attacks because you’ve never heard them about ANY of the men in tech who were fired from startups that later made them billionaires.

@AaronKlein Well you are the judge...
You decide if you're going to pay them today... and see if they screw you over tomorrow.

@Bryan_Barton They get an A+ in models and a F in communications. Too many others are getting an A in models, so they better fix it or they’re going to lose.

@AaronKlein I want to see you add to the comments 😆
The more I hear about anthropic the less I like them, their founder already rubs me the wrong way.

TIL: If you want to bridge USDC into Canton via @canton_loop wallet you need to apply for permission. There's a 24 hour approval SLA to know whether or not you are allowed to bridge.
It's a non-custodial wallet... they don't know anything about me besides my email.

@NobelDing @CamiloBAcosta @lucy_guo Well... your mean tweet made me like her. Now for the private information... did you try to reach out to her and she ignored you?
Sacramento, CA 🇺🇸 English
@Bryan_Barton @CamiloBAcosta @lucy_guo All of this is public information. I don’t need to convince anyone of anything, including my 200 followers.

Fascinating how quickly Uber went from “regulators are slowing down technological progress! Transportation must flow like water!” to “We must stop tech! Regulate to keep the ride sharing industry the same and stop price drops!”
Ethan McKanna@ethanmckanna
Uber is doing everything they can to slow down autonomous vehicles. This is absolutely absurd and will cost lives They want autonomous vehicle services to have human drivers serve 85 percent of rides???

Every upstart is just waiting till they’re big enough to do their own regulatory capture

@kane @AGHamilton29 @RoKhanna @JTLonsdale @RoKhanna is a terrible antisemite, but at least he has good taste in VCs!

All of Congressman’s @RoKhanna’s financial disclosures are finally OCR’d and searchable online
He hand-filed papers instead of using the electronic system to obfuscate the data, but I indexed them all here:

@RoKhanna He must really love golf, because besides >$2M in private golf memberships, @RoKhanna has ~$100k invested in golf stocks

Why and how is it like this? Like clearly something has gone wrong in the sf government but what went wrong specifically?
clara the urbanist@SlopHq
it took san francisco nineteen years and $346 million to put a two mile bus lane on van ness, a street the city already owned. the planning process outlasted the construction of the hoover dam by over a decade

@zGuz I 💯 understand what the CEO is doing. But I don't understand why it's wrong. I don't understand why scalping is wrong either (as long as the tickets are not fraudulent obviously). Can someone please explain it to me. 🙏
English
@CamiloBAcosta @lucy_guo @NobelDing @NobelDing isn't convincing anyone of anything... not even any of his 208 followers. He probably just wanted to meet Lucy, and she declined. So he lashed out online against her. And maybe he has a couple sock puppet X accounts. Clearly it is an attack...but poorly coordinated!
English
@Bryan_Barton @lucy_guo @NobelDing There are several accounts going after her in the last few days. It's a weird coordinated attack
English
@WallStreetApes I understand 💯 what he is doing here... but I don't see how this is a scam. Stubhub has always been about scalping tickets. What difference does it make about who is doing the scalping?
English
The CEO of StubHub exposed in SEC documents to own a hedge fund thats scalping millions of tickets on StubHub making a fortune
Everything is a scam
“StubHub bills itself as an online marketplace for fans where they can buy and sell tickets, but it turns out that StubHub CEO himself also has a hedge fund that is scalping millions of dollars worth of its own tickets”
“The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange last fall. They had to file documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in those SEC filings, we find some interesting information. The CEO, Eric Baker, actually owns and manages a hedge fund by the name of Andro Capital.
Its business: selling millions of dollars worth of tickets on StubHub — So essentially, StubHub and its CEO are in the business of mass scalping”
Here’s a step by step of how the scam works
- StubHub CEO’s Andro Capital buys large numbers of tickets, sometimes in bulk from primary sellers, other brokers and events
- They then list and sell those same tickets on StubHub at much higher prices
- When fans buy the tickets, Andro makes a profit on the price difference, this is the scalping markup
- StubHub helps them by handling the listing, pricing and delivery of the tickets, sometimes with special arrangements or lower fees for Andro
The result is millions of dollars in ticket sales flow through Andro on StubHub, and the profits go back to the hedge fund that StubHub CEO Baker owns and manages
It means with his big money and influence he can move in early, gets the tickets for events, then mark them and rob everyone blind
