I’m looking back at some old screenshots and came across this one… Actual insanity these times were.

I am not going to motivate you because if you need motivation from a stranger on a plane the answer is stay but I will give you the game theory your corporate M&A gig is a repeated game with diminishing marginal returns. year 1 you learn everything. year 2 you refine it. year 3 you are executing pattern recognition. year 4+ you are being paid more to do the same thing with slightly larger numbers. the learning curve flattens but the golden handcuffs tighten because every year the comp goes up and the opportunity cost of leaving gets more painful on paper this is a classic status quo bias trap. the payoff of staying is known and comfortable. the payoff of leaving is uncertain and scary. so you stay not because staying is optimal but because the asymmetry of regret is lopsided. you can imagine regretting the leap. you cannot as easily imagine regretting the years you stayed too long because that regret builds slowly and never hits you in one moment here is where game theory actually helps: in your M&A seat you are playing someone else's game. the firm sets the rules, the deal flow, the comp structure, the promotion timeline. you optimize within their framework. you are a very well-compensated player in a game you did not design. your upside is capped by whatever the partnership or MD economics look like. your downside is protected by a salary. that is the trade owning a local business flips the entire payoff matrix. you design the game. you set the rules. the downside is real and unprotected but the upside is uncapped and compounds in ways a salary never does because you own the equity. a $2M EBITDA business bought at 4x and grown to $3M EBITDA over 3 years is worth $12-15M on exit. no M&A salary trajectory produces that kind of wealth creation in that timeframe unless you are a founding partner the Nash equilibrium of your current situation: you and every other M&A professional are competing for the same promotions, same deal credit, same bonus pool. the competition is fierce because the players are identical. same schools, same skills, same hours. you are in a crowded equilibrium where everyone works 80 hours to stay in the same relative position local business ownership is a different game with different players. the competition is a 62-year-old owner who stopped innovating in 2014 and a 35-year-old who inherited the business and does not want to be there. you walk in with financial sophistication, deal structuring experience, and the ability to read a balance sheet faster than anyone in the room. you are overqualified for the game which is exactly where you want to be. the best strategy in game theory is to play games where your existing skill set gives you an asymmetric advantage over the other players the timing question is about optionality. every year you stay in M&A your financial optionality goes up slightly because you save more. but your operational optionality goes down because you get further from the reality of running anything. the M&A guy who leaves at 28 adapts to operations in 6 months. the one who leaves at 38 has a decade of habits built around delegating to analysts and reviewing decks, and managing a P&L feels foreign in a way it would not have 10 years earlier but again. if you need me to motivate you, stay. the people who actually do this do not need motivation. they need a spreadsheet that shows the math works and then they cannot NOT do it. if you have the spreadsheet and you are still asking strangers for motivation the spreadsheet is not the problem

@redemptionjizzy Few.

Price is the biggest deceiver. Any thesis no matter how ridiculous can be justified if the price is high enough & by the same token invalidated if it’s at zero.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 President Trump says the US will be the undisputed Bitcoin and crypto "superpower" of the world.

how it feels holding alternative crypto currencies because you like the project when you also expect a crypto bear market

@redemptionjizzy could see the dogs getting a movie tbf, couldnt see that with punch.

Take all the catalysts from 'The Wandering 7', times it by 100x and you have what Punch has had for the better part of 2 months.

@SolportTom @Memecoin_Quant @bonkfun @phantom @solflare @SEAL_911 @MetaMask so is this the comeback?

Once we released that the domain had been stolen we instantly reached out to every wallet provider which had the domain blocked in around 1 hour after reaching out, meaning no one could load or transact with the site. We'd like to thank @phantom @solflare @SEAL_911 @MetaMask and co for their swift action. If we didn't get all the wallets to block the site very quickly this could've been a lot worse.

BONKfun is back and here’s what happened 👇 On March 11, the BONKfun website was hijacked by a malicious actor via a social engineering targeting our domain service provider. This resulted in the domain being transferred to an external registrar. The domain service provider has accepted responsibility for transfer, and we have confirmed this incident was not the result of any compromise of BONK or BONKfun internal systems, codebase, or team accounts. Upon identifying the breach, we immediately took action to: 1) Disable the site 2) Coordinate with wallet providers to flag the domain as malicious 3) Contain further user impact We’d like to thank @phantom, @solflare, @MetaMask, @_SEAL_Org and all other security partners that helped spread the word quickly. We estimate the total customer losses at $30,000 and we will be reimbursing affected users at 110% of losses to account for opportunity cost. As a result of this social engineering on the domain service provider, the BONKfun domain was transferred to an external registrar, and that transfer greatly inhibited our ability to move quickly with relaunching the site in a secure manner. The domain and domain registration were fully transferred back around 5:00 pm Eastern time on 3/18. Full functionality with major wallet providers was restored late on 3/19, which has now enabled us to safely and securely relaunch the site. The main BONKfun domain is still experiencing flags from several antivirus software providers, we are working to remove these flags as soon as possible. For users experiencing issues with BONK.fun due to anti-virus software, letsBONK.fun is also live now and contains the same functionality as the main site.

@Falconcrypto_ You in the LP?

Holy shit wtf🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️🚶🏾‍♂️

Everyone you’ve ever known in crypto just made it on this hype move to $41 while you’re sidelined

@deezy0805 @exitliquid1ty @dxrnell @jackduval @BeanzzSOL Yea and beanz is up 200k on the week. These normies that try day trading are content with 2k a week, which can easily be made emulating Beanz trading style scales to bankroll…

@exitliquid1ty @dxrnell @jackduval @BeanzzSOL name 5 more traders that are doing what beanz is doing, i'll wait. Normies don't have money to just throw away in every single token.

The difference is when you lose on day trading it isn’t because you got rugged or got vamped it’s because you just suck at trading You lose on memecoins and it’s probably because you bought a coin that ends up getting vamped by unprofitable, not because you suck at finding good memecoins

@_logjam What’s on the current watchlist? $method your type of coin?
