@JTLonsdale @jonbakke Are they trying to make it a default currency or at least a more serious one by buying up the reserve first? Or are they legit just trying to make money or, as they are being accused in some places, simply being thieves. Can you shed more light on what’s happening?

@jonbakke When a currency becomes the default currency, used as such, for generations - that’s a valid argument for having a reserve!

Taxation is theft. It should be kept to a minimum.
It’s wrong to steal my money for grift on the left; it’s also wrong to tax me for crypto bro schemes.
Efficient defense, courts, national parks (should fund themselves), prisons, etc - fine. Cut it out with these schemes guys.

I turned Miami into the crypto capital of Florida, now we’re turning the U.S. into the crypto capital of the world! Thank you for your leadership @POTUS—this is the future!

Holy shit the USAID sign to Eliminate Elon Musk is real
Senator Thom Tillis@SenThomTillis
This disgusting threat was made against @elonmusk for helping President Trump eliminate government waste and protect taxpayer dollars. We need to find out who paid for this and who allowed it to be posted. cc: @MayorBowser

@Rothmus Total robbery of the hard-working, tax-paying American citizen.

@elonmusk Biggest deltas are the Education, Medicaid and Interest categories. But why is the Medicaid delta 19x the Medicare delta? More abuse of that program over the last 5 years?

@mayemusk We need more style icons like you in our lives. Gorgeous.

@cb_doge You have to wonder what’s in the hearts of these ladies when instead of seeing Elon send his love to the audience, they see a Nazi salute…what?!

@RepDebDingell By listening to Elon, you ARE putting American people first. He is speaking for many individual voices that wouldn’t otherwise be heard.

@CollinRugg People don’t realize that their “emotional support” is someone else’s disturbance. Or they do and don’t care. Same as neighbors who play super loud music all the day long. Like I’m glad you’re having fun, but you’re subjecting your neighbors to noise without choice.

Man brings his massive emotional support Great Dane on a commercial flight, dog steps on flight attendant's foot.
People who do this are the worst.
The dog was seen entering the plane before the owner found his seat.
The animal was seen sitting next to the owner in its own seat.
The video was originally shared on IG where commenters blasted the flight attendant for saying "ouch" when the dog stepped on her foot.

@Jason @DavidSacks @theallinpod @rabois was great. If @DavidSacks can’t stay permanently, then rotate @DavidSacks, @rabois, and the dream Peter Thiel. And of course @elonmusk when he can.
English

No one can replace @DavidSacks, but curious who have you like rotating in far him *temporarily* on @theallinpod?
Left, right and center…

Some news: I have been working on a book for the past three years, and it has finally reached the finish line. “Buffett And Munger Unscripted” will be released in a few weeks (on January 21st), and is available now for preorder from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major booksellers.
The idea for this book was planted about 15 years ago.
I was a young investor at the time, and Larry Cunningham’s “The Essays of Warren Buffett” was my Bible. As Warren noted at the 1998 annual meeting, he believed Cunningham’s book did the best job of conveying the lessons he hoped to share with investors: “He has done a first-class job of organizing, by topic, all these things that I’ve written… If I were picking one thing to read, that would probably be the one.”
“Buffett And Munger Unscripted” seeks to perform a similar act of synthesis for the countless insights from the Berkshire Hathaway annual meetings. For decades, those meetings were an in-person event with no video recordings. But that changed in 2018, when Berkshire Hathaway released the annual meeting videos back to 1994. While now widely available for all to access, that still presented a daunting task for an individual who hoped to derive insights on a particular topic: in total, they covered about 150 hours and more than 1,700 shareholder questions.
“Buffett And Munger Unscripted” solves that problem.
I reviewed each of the 31 Berkshire Hathaway annual meetings from 1994 to 2024. From the aforementioned 1,700+ questions, I selected the answers that offered the most valuable insights for investors and business people (the hardcover edition is 475 pages). It is organized around a number of important investment and business themes, including the skills and temperament required to be a successful long-term investor, the art of business valuation, defining your circle of competence, thinking about opportunity costs, and many others. While Buffett and Munger have frequently discussed life lessons, politics, etc., those topics are not the focus of this book.
If you are interested in “Buffett And Munger Unscripted”, it would mean a great deal to me if you preordered it today. In addition to adding a valuable investment resource to your library, you will also be providing support to people who are in need of a helping hand: I will donate 50% of my net proceeds from “Unscripted” to GLIDE, a charity Warren has supported for decades.
Thank you for your time.

I can’t stand them either. The voices are so monotone and it takes too long to get the key insights. We need a better product. Maybe something that would include voice commands and take you to the parts of the book you’re most interested in; could also summarize contents and answer questions; but the voice would still need improvement. More of a conversational voice. Less of a boring professor voice.
English

audiobooks are completely unlistenable for me.
The voice, pace, tone puts me to sleep.
- am I doing it wrong?
- is there some initial hump to get over?
- or are there more people who can't stand them - and we need a better product / innovation?

Trying to pivot from listening to less timely podcasts to more timeless audiobooks. Who’s got some recommendations?!

@Jason The value of the content trumps the annoyance of the ads.
