The well-respected @_Checkmatey_ calls $MSTR "ponzi adjacent." Andy Constan @dampedspring agreed with that take in his recent debate with Lyn Alden @LynAldenContact. These people are all smarter than me, so I've spent some time trying to break it down for myself. Check it out.

@danroberts0101 Are you setting us up for no deal again?

Feels like we’re still early in the compute cycle. Supply isn’t easy, real-world constraints are everywhere. And every step forward in AI just seems to create more demand for compute.

@abtcdude @BTC_Bella69420 Do not hesitate on the move. It might be difficult for him to accept initially but you and he will be glad you made the move. Good teachers with manageable class sizes are worth their weight in gold. Good luck.

@DavidJPete @BTC_Bella69420 Totally. Our son started high school this year and it’s been a huge struggle. We’re looking at moving him into an alternate steam for next year for this reason. We have family who is also ASD and they’ve said they wouldn’t have graduated without the program so fingers crossed.

I am tragically dyslexic, and I work in finance. Seems weird, but hear me out. While I struggle with basic spelling often, and reading comprehension was insanely difficult as a child, I really couldn't read until 5th grade. It’s much better now, but it’s still something I deal with. Even today, my amazing team @OGAdvisors has to put up with my chronic typos and often cryptic messages (sorry guys). But here's the great part of my dyslexia: I tested in the savant category for pattern recognition and spatial awareness. I see the world in 4D*. I often struggle to understand why others don't. Just like they don't understand why I can't spell... The dyslexia made it hard to fit into the normie's way of life. But it gave me a superpower, one that fits perfectly into finance and Bitcoin. And because I am one of the few who actually loves what they do for work, I wouldn't change a thing. So if you see typos in my posts, I am not lazy, I am just retarded. Thank you for your attention to this matter. *4D (four-dimensional) thinking: The ability to perceive and interpret patterns across multiple dimensions, typically including space and time, allowing for a dynamic understanding of how elements interact, evolve, and influence future outcomes. In practical terms, it refers to seeing beyond static snapshots and recognizing systems, relationships, and changes as they develop over time.

Small classrooms and independent attention are crucial. We failed to recognize this with our ADHD son and every day of high school was a struggle. Early, continual and ongoing attention allows you to put them in the best position for success as they develop the tools to deal with their unique gift.

@BTC_Bella69420 We’re raising a kid who’s got ADHD, ASD, and similar learning challenges, especially as it applies to reading and riding. He’s super bright and he excels at science and math. I hope he finds something in life that he enjoys and is good at, too. Just got to get him there.

@ALEXAGY0 Weed makes you ok with wasting time. You'll 10x your personal and professional productivity if you use only occasionally or not at all.

Long time weed smokers who quit, what changes to your mind and body did you notice after you got used to not smoking daily?

Anthropic is getting 5 GW from Google as part of the deal. So presumably the deal would be between Google and Iren. The only mention of any deal has been sourceless speculation on FinTwit. Moving up the earnings call is bullish, but they ran the same play last quarter on a nothingburger and the stock tanked. We'll nosedive down to $40 again if there's no major announcement this time.

Going into next week, some thoughts… If $IREN partners with @AnthropicAI in 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 , the analysts will begin to quantify the share of secured power before rerating $IREN as the off balance sheet financing arm of the most important company in the world that enables @AnthropicAI to scale faster and with more delivery certainty than any other infrastructure provider. The market cap of $IREN currently sits at just under $20b or 2% of @AnthropicAI valuation. This will change. Then consider delivery of Horizon 1-4 to $MSFT as well the any subsequent projects in 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 that emphasize $IREN as a strategic partner that optimizes time to compute while increasingly growing its portfolio of completed data centers with supporting cash flows from high quality tenants that can be used as assets to ♻️ invested capital into the next data center. The patience required to hold $IREN cannot be understated but when you ignore the day to day volatility you begin to realize that the front loaded infrastructure investments funded by 🏧 and convertible notes serve a greater purpose. In a world of delays and regulatory friction, the data center is the asset. Volume the past two trading days exceeded 100m shares without any announcement. Institutions are knowingly buying the 👸 in the 50s Do you think they are here for 60,70? I don’t think so. If you made it this far, the time for show and tell is almost here.

@mikealfred What are you doing associating with those grifters? Sad.

@SullyMichaelvan Tattoo that dude

Every Bitcoiner has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% press the blue button, ETH seizes to exist. If more than 50% press the red button, Peter Schiff must get a Bitcoin tattoo on his forehead. Which button do you press?

@lynk0x $STRC and chill

Maturing is realizing a $2M net worth with zero cash flow is a financial time bomb.

@SylentTrade They need to deliver on the call or the stock is going to tank. Ran the same play last quarter, the call was a nothingburger, and the stock went into a nosedive.

Earnings scheduled for a week earlier than expected. Extremely bullish. Mother of all deals is coming. $IREN YOU ARE NOT BULLISH ENOUGH.

@awfulannouncing Ozempic for sure.

Bitcoin pumping again after @PeterSchiff performed the ritual Thank you Peter 🙏

@chiptomunk Dude's a loser. People that glorify him are losers.

Why are all the giant influencers sucking SBF dick today? None of this matters. HE lost. Not his lawyers. Not the “FTX estate”. SBF himself flubbered and lost by commiting fraud and money laundering. These are parts of his trade. And his trade lost. Quit glorifying this.

@SullyMichaelvan Break a leg, man. You're going to kill it. Bring your walking shoes. Easily 30,000 steps a day walking around the Vegas convention hotel complex.

I have a confession. I've never been to a single conference once in the entire five years I've been in Bitcoin. Why? Because, despite being (somewhat) articulate and using fancy-sounding words on occasion, I am in fact, quite dumb. I had my reasons. At first I wanted to stack more sats... later my wife and I started a family. And during my time writing Blood of the Bourgeoisie I made a promise to myself that I would spend every free hour of my time writing. I couldn't justify hanging out with all my autistic internet friends because it meant losing 50+ hours of dedicated focus. I was creating a gift to the Bitcoin community, and I would single-mindedly pursue that even if it meant spending thousands of hours alone. I succeeded in creating a fantastic book... but it doesn't make what I did any less retarded. Since the launch I've come to terms with just how badly I messed up. Connecting with all of you and sharing more of my life on here was something that I completely stumbled into. I thought that if I was working so hard on this book that I probably should post about it a little bit publicly. That snowballed in a way I didn't anticipate. I'd always hated sharing on social media. I'd always hated networking. But connecting with all of you on here filled me up with a kind of energy that surprised me. It actually wasn't that I hated networking or social media... it was just that I hadn't found my tribe yet. And because of my complete and total obsession with hard work, I missed out on so many events that offered the opportunity to connect with ya'll in person. And that sucks, because you've been a major source of my motivation to keep building, and a big reason I'm experimenting with sentiment analysis stuff today. Anyways, this is all to say that I've finally learned from my past mistakes and I'm speaking at Bitcoin 2026 in Vegas this year. If you wanna hang out, hit me up, I can't wait to meet you in person ✌️

@DudespostingWs Beautiful

@mjgigli0 @awfulannouncing Your point about "who cares" is well-taken. But for the sake of factual correctness, it was Ohtaini's interpreter and not Ohtani himself. Ohtani was never implicated in any impropriety.

@awfulannouncing Who cares!? The sports media won’t let this go but they gave Ohtani a free pass for gambling on games!? Make it make sense!!

I'm a 52 year old running my first marathon next month and aiming for a triathlon in September. I tell all my friends that now is the time to get ready for the coming years. We know what brings down people as they age, so why not train for it now? I've been trying to put together this kind of masters fitness protocol on my own on the fly. So much better to just pick this up. I've just started reading and can tell this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks!

The Midlife and Master's Athlete Guide.... don't fight the biology ... a thread. 1/The changes in the physiology of the aging athlete are very real. After 50, power drops twice as fast as strength. You'll recognize this!! VO2max falls ~10% per decade, worse if untrained. Recovery takes longer. So much longer... ffs. Muscle is harder to build. But... None of that means you should stop competing. It means the rules have changed, and you need to train differently.

@tatumturnup My Bitaxes have issues that need more attention than I want to dedicate.

Genuine question: What is stopping you from mining right now?

@JerryEngelmann There's a reason he only just this year made his first all star team - terrific talent but marginal baskeball IQ.

There is no universe where taking a 2 here is the correct decision

The thing that surprises me the most about Sivers is just how much Europeans in general and Swedes in particular seem to hate the company's recent bounce without any argumentative substance. I see very sound bullish research from Americans, but the bearish European analysis is simply, "eh, it's a meme stock now."

European indefinite pessimism meets American optimism. European stocks all of a sudden get American premiums cause someone actually dared to look forward in time with a non-linear vision. European journalists aren’t used to it so they just say it’s a meme and call it a day? I don’t identify with this mentality and it has to change for the whole continent. $SIVE

@MRinvestor89272 @DudespostingWs When the finish line in sight and a victory still a possibility, the adrenaline rush is sufficient to overcome the fatigue of the entire race. Also, most competitive runners try to run a race where they have something left in the tank so they can pick it up at the end if needed.

@DudespostingWs Why is the black dude running a marathon like he just woke up and forgot he has a job interview…. Is it normal for marathon runners to saved up so much money energy and sprint at the end?

This is why you never give up or celebrate too early. This guy won the Delaware Marathon by finishing strong while the runner ahead of him was already celebrating, thinking he had it won. Insane.
