Crypto permanently breaks how you see money. There's no fixing it. I used to make $13 an hour at a sandwich shop. $1,500 every two weeks. I thought that was just how life worked. Then I made that in one trade... in minutes. You cannot go back after that. You physically cannot sit in a job and pretend it makes sense anymore. Once you've seen it enough times, your brain just breaks. It's the thing nobody warns you about. It's not that the money makes you greedy. It's that your entire perception of time and value gets rewired. But here's what scares me more than anything. How many people have tasted life changing amounts of money, lost it all, and are back to the 9-to-5 right now? I think about that number often. They wake up every morning with that memory. That's not poverty. It's torture. I let that image live in my head rent free. Every trade, every single day. That guy exists and I refuse to become him. Protect your portfolio like your old life is waiting to take you back. Because, for many people, it already did.

Bazı araştırmalara göre Z kuşağı sex yapmak yerine LeBron James izlemeyi tercih ediyor.

when Bron retire imma take a week off from work.

Since 1996–97, no player has made more clutch-time field goals in the postseason than LeBron James (151). The closest? Kobe Bryant (104). Tonight… The King added another memorable moment to his resume 👑

it’s time to start slapping niggas when they say mj the goat over bron im sorry

Gamma exposure update for $SPY: There's quite a bit of positive exposure above spot, with very limited negative exposure under spot. MVC is at $710, with $713 just behind. If there's momentum over $710, we'll see $713 rather quickly. Support is at $707.

🧲 $SPY level: $SPY is actively using the $706.18 Dark Pool level we plotted on Friday as a key zone. Keep a close eye on this level intraday as price continues to react around it.

Stuff I wish I knew when I was younger: 1. Doing something poorly and consistently is better than doing it in a world class manner occasionally 2. Other people tell you to take risks bc they want to see what happens or have a free option if you win not bc they think it’s a good idea 3. Most people don’t think about you at all. But some people think about you a lot. If someone who is a baller takes an interest in you for no particular reason just run with it. One trick to vastly improve your relationship outcomes is spend time w people who like you (not ppl who ignore you or treat you poorly). 4. Everything in your life you can categorize as 1) addictive 2) enjoyable. And if you do a bunch of non addictive enjoyable things it’s quite likely you’ll be happier. If you stop doing that basket you’ll burn out, predictably 5. It’s a lot easier to deal directly with negative thoughts than it is to deal with the life circumstances generating them and most of the time you can actually deal w the circumstances more effectively if you’re not tilted 6. Most of the economy is a cartel defined by proximity to central banks, the government, and a small elite. The reason “contrarian” ideas work isn’t because they’re good. It’s bc they’re “king made”. It’s decided in advance who is going to win. You need to decide if you’re going to play or not. There is no halfway 7. Being mad about the system being rigged is a waste of time it’s a lot better to just bet on it, or invest with that as an edge bc most people aren’t blackpilled enough. 8. Most studies - especially social science studies have criminally low r sq or poor methodology. Such that most things you read online don’t actually work. At the same time - your own response to things is fairly predictable. So if you find something that works - you can just go back to that - a lot more easily than optimizing something new 9. Life getting worse after 30 is a scam. Actually - it might genuinely get worse for most people. But it doesn’t have to. The people who most loudly tell you what you need to be happy are the least happy people 10. Over time your outcomes are mostly determined by the quality of your network, your investment rate of return and your tax rate. But every once in a while you can do something non linear that can be a home run. It’s best to do non linear things during asset bubbles or when you have a hot hand. It’s not a good idea to do non linear things when there isn’t strong investor appetite for risk taking 11. Your behaviors will tell you stuff you’re not dealing with. If you’re overeating or sleeping poorly it’s probably bc there’s something you haven’t acknowledged or faced or are putting off 12. As you move towards a singularity , accelerating progress or a purported societal shift the predictability decreases - rather than increasing. People are the most certain at maximum acceleration when the very nature of acceleration or complexity suggests they should do the opposite. If AGI is coming start thinking 1 week out not 3 years out

MAJORITY OF U.S. SENATE VOTES TO BLOCK EFFORT TO FORCE TRUMP TO END IRAN STRIKES WITHOUT LAWMAKERS' APPROVAL, VOTING CONTINUES U.S. SENATE VOTES 52 TO 47 TO BLOCK RESOLUTION THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED FURTHER US IRAN STRIKES WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL

Arguably the goat of his sport (clear to me but I understand the debate), self-made billionaire, role model (married to his HS sweetheart, dedicated father, supported all of his friends in their business endeavors and carried them up with him, leader to his community, etc.). The guy’s life reads like a cheesy Disney channel protagonist with how amazing the real story is. Yet there’s a cottage industry of sports commentators and media that made you hate this guy for 2+ decades because he was maybe better than their guy. I’ll never understand it. I’m annoying about it because it literally makes no sense. Repeatedly broke every narrative they tried to say about his game, his leadership, his mindset, etc. Never gave them ammo for off the court BS countless great athletes did over the years.

Beginning to think that the very obvious insider trading occurring is because they're trying to line their pockets as much as possible because they know how bad it's going to get.

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature: “Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.” The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

If your father or mother is above 67, please pause and read this slowly. At that age, life begins to feel different for them. The world moves faster, but their bodies move slower. The things they once did effortlessly now require effort. Their strength is not what it used to be, and even if they don’t say it, they feel it. What they need now is not pressure. Not stress. Not arguments about money or past mistakes. They need stability. They need reassurance. They need to feel safe. If they have savings, protect it. This is not the stage for risky investments or “let’s try this opportunity.” It is the stage for preservation. Capital safety matters more than high returns. Peace of mind matters more than profit. If they depend on you financially, don’t see it as a burden. See it as a privilege. The same hands that once carried you are now weaker. The same voices that defended you now speak softer. Support them with dignity, not pity. And beyond money, give them something deeper. Call them without being in a hurry. Sit with them without checking your phone every two minutes. Let them repeat stories you’ve heard before. One day, you will wish to hear those stories again. At 67 and above, what they truly fear is not death. It is loneliness. It is feeling forgotten. Take care of their health. Help them organize their documents. Make sure they are not being financially manipulated. Protect them from stress. But most importantly, protect their heart. Because one day, the chair they sit on will be empty. And no amount of money will buy back one more conversation.

Some people ask why, at 30+, we suddenly have so many hobbies such as running, pilates, hiking, tennis, padel, golf, etc. News flash: not everyone was born privileged. Some of us spent our teens & early 20s grinding just to survive. Now we finally have a bit of time and resources to chase the hobbies we love.

Novak Djokovic says he is not chasing Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, he is creating his own history “In the early part of your career when you were chasing Roger & Rafa for titles… and now at the back of your career, you’re chasing Jannik & Carlos…” Novak: “I’m chasing Jannik and Carlos? In which sense?” “In terms of winning Grand Slam titles just right now…” Novak: “So I’m always the chaser and never been chased?” “No in the meantime you’ve won 24 Grand Slams.” Novak: “Thanks, it’s worth saying that sometimes right?” Novak: “I find if a little bit disrespectful that you kind of miss out on what happened in between where the times when I started ‘chasing’ as you say Rafa and Roger… and now that I’m chasing Carlos and Jannik. There’s probably about a 15 year period in between where I was dominating the Grand Slams. I think it’s important to put that in perspective. I dont feel like I’m chasing to be honest. Roger and Rafa will always be my greatest rivals. I have tremendous respect for what Jannik and Carlos are doing and they will continue to do for the next 10, 15, 20 years. This is a kind of natural cycle in sports. You’re going to have another 2 superstars that are going to maybe have a 3rd guy that I’m going to cheer for, because I’ve always been the 3rd guy at the beginning. It’s good for our sport. I think these kind of rivalries and the contrast of personalities and the styles of play are very good for tennis. And how is that effecting me? I don’t feel like I’m chasing. I’m creating my own history.” (via Australian Open Press)
