London is a pretty sad place Had £10k worth of stuff stolen from a 5 star hotel @HiltonHotels Caught on CCTV Police informed and tracking details of one of the devices given Police say they can’t do anything unless assaulted or held at gun point @metpoliceuk Good job @MayorofLondon Expediting my exit to Dubai/Singapore
Amazing to see what's going on in parts of the London market for flats. Nearly £9k service charge on this one. £730,000, just reduced. 35% real terms decline since 2006.
"Crypto is the dumbest market in the world" Scott Phillips (@ScottPh77711570) runs HyperTrend — $20M of his own capital, one losing year in six. His edge? Picking the table big firms can't sit at. "There's no second-best counterparty in crypto. You see crime, you run towards it — crime is the foundation of edge." We cover: - Why crypto still has edge in 2026 — even when your uncle is talking about Bitcoin at Thanksgiving - The simple rules (buy 20-day highs, top-20 coins) that print through any market - Why stacking trend + momentum + carry gets you there from a spreadsheet — no automation required - Price-insensitive buyers (Saylor), price-insensitive sellers (North Korea) & why both are permanent alpha - The 90-day Binance listing short — an edge hiding in plain sight in market maker contracts - Why most shit coins trend to zero — and how to trade the ones that don't - Building a tokenized, permissionless DeFi hedge fund on hyperliquid — 2 & 20, fully on-chain - Why the best quant firms are run by near-non-verbal autists with one translator Thank you so much @ScottPh77711570 for coming on the pod!

This isn't just one guy. 50+ victims. $9.5 million stolen in 7 days. All from one fake app that Apple let through their review process. The app asked for your seed phrase. People typed it in because they found it on the OFFICIAL App Store. Never type your seed phrase into anything that isn't your physical Ledger device. Never. Not once. Not ever.
🚨 FAKE LEDGER APP ON APPLE STORE WIPES OUT ENTIRE BTC HOLDINGS A fake Ledger Live app on Apple’s Mac App Store just wiped out a user’s life savings. American musician Garrett Dutton lost 5.92 $BTC ($424K) after downloading what looked like the official app and entering his 24-word seed phrase. On-chain investigator ZachXBT traced the stolen Bitcoin exchange deposit addresses and publicly questioned how the app made it through Apple’s gatekeeping. No comment yet from Apple.
My girlfriend found $500 missing from our joint account. She called me at work. "What's the charge to Polygon." I hung up. Not because I didn't want to explain. Because I didn't know how. Three months ago I couldn't sleep. 4 AM. Scrolling Twitter. Some guy posted a Polymarket screenshot. +$14K in a week. Comments called it fake. His wallet was public. I checked. It was real. @0xde17f7144fbd0eddb2679132c10ff5e74b120988-1772205225932?r=quot#3e5DlOo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@0xde17f7144fb…
Opened Claude. Typed one line. "Take $500. Trade Polymarket. Three strategies. Don't ask me anything." Then I forgot about it. Literally didn't check for two weeks. Week three I opened my phone in the bathroom at work. +$2,100. The bot had split itself into three agents. On its own. One trades BTC momentum. 15-minute contracts. 91% win rate. One buys both sides when total cost drops below a dollar. Locks the spread. 87%. One copies twelve whale wallets. They move, it moves. 88%. 1,284 trades in 90 days. I placed zero. Worst day: -$120. Made it back by noon. Best day: +$2,840. I was in a meeting about Q3 projections. Sharpe: 3.41. I googled it. Hedge funds brag about 2. I called her back. "Check the balance." Silence. "There's... $10,700 in here." "That was the $500." More silence. "Why didn't you tell me?" Because I didn't believe it either. She hasn't mentioned the Polygon charge since. But she did ask me for the prompt.UK resi property as investment remains a hot topic, with a lot of misinformation and misconception… 40% of British household wealth is locked in a single illiquid asset class that has delivered negative real returns for a decade. Prime central London down 25% from 2014. London BTL netting 3.4% while gilts pay 4.5% risk-free. Real wages up 2% total since 2010. Foreign buyers collapsed from 8% to 1%. The property-as-pension model relied on 7-10% annual capital appreciation. That’s over. What remains is an illiquid, high-maintenance asset that underperforms a government bond. Schroders found equities beat UK property over every time horizon from 5 to 30 years. Rathbones found £100 in London property in 2016 worth £111 by 2025. Same £100 in equities: £174. The UK ranks 15th of 29 OECD countries for financial literacy. A nation that put £4 trillion into one leveraged bet never had the financial education to question whether it was a good idea.
