@joecarlsonshow FIRE is great only if you invest with those extra savings for leverage

FIRE is terrible. Don’t waste your 20s and 30s saving every single penny and never having any experiences. Foster relationships now. Go out on dates. Go on road trips and camp outs. Try out a cruise, you may even enjoy it. Go have experiences with friends. My oldest brother that I talk to frequently is a surgeon, believe me, there are no guarantees in life. You have no clue how your health will hold up over time. It’s crazy to me that a group of people will throw away their 20s and 30s in hope that there’s some magical happy point in their 40s. It’s very misguided.

@Innerdevcrypto which bonds do you recommending? Im currently on SGOV

Crypto-update: - not trading a lot this year since as shared last year i feel 2026 will be a bearish year and quite difficult to trade, i rather dedicate more time again to trading when the new bullmarket begins and opportunities are plentiful. I am ok at trading, but no expert in short term trading, so i know when to take off the gas which is these kind of circumstances - stock market is very high, and i will simply not buy in at these crazy valuations for stocks. I also do think when they go down that crypto will not outperform - still believe bottom in btc comes later this year, as shared in posts below - alt-wise, my favorite is hype. If i would allocate again heavy to an alt-coin, would probably be that one, good tokenomics, seems destined to at least hit 100$ or more next cycle. Will see if a better entry comes later this year when i think btc bottoms, and if not, will see when to get in. Zero interest in memes and other garbage, people are stick and tired of that after getting robbed so many cycles - also doubt the iran trouble is over, nor the full impact of these oil disruptions fully understood, so new crazy market moves can come anytime. I just prefer to save my cash & coins for easier times - have not locked up any coins, or staked, or re-staked. As shared often, i do not trust it. And my caution paid off, as we have seen recently with aave etc. I do not care about 5% interest risking 100% while i can get the same in US bonds. - and yes, i will share in the future what i think are opportunities in trading, or in alt-coins, when i see them. For now i would recommend caution and preserving your capital Some more posts on crypto, predictions, ta, 2026, what i am holding: My analysis has not changed: x.com/Innerdevcrypto… This prediction from last year is turning out ok: x.com/Innerdevcrypto… Sometimes keep it simple: x.com/Innerdevcrypto… What i am holding investment-wise: x.com/Innerdevcrypto…

@Thecryptomist story of my life... cynical pattern lol

I will spend 20 minutes browsing Netflix just to watch something I’ve watched before.

As Carl Jung put it, "Man needs difficulties. They are necessary for health." Yet most people instinctually avoid pain. This is true whether we are talking about building the body (e.g., weight lifting) or the mind (e.g., frustration, mental struggle, embarrassment, shame)--and especially true when people confront the harsh reality of their own imperfections. #principleoftheday

@cburniske Chris hasn’t post anything yet which means this is a fake rally

I'm not a buyer yet, but if I were to be a buyer, imo the areas to watch for $BTC are: ~$80K: Nov '25 low, local low of this "bear" ~$74K: April '25 low, Tariff Tantrum low, just below $MSTR's cost basis (~$76K) ~$70K: Top of $50-70K range, near '21 high ~$58K: 200W SMA & on-chain cost basis (RV = ~$56K) ~$50K & below: bottom of the weekly range below, psychological, below this number you would see "death of BTC" calls once again Importantly, I don't care what happens. If we rally from here, I'll ride what I have and diversify my portfolio, if we fall apart I'll buy more $BTC & select cryptoassets.

@joecarlsonshow Prob relief rally and goes back down cause of uncertainty.

@benjamincowen @martypartymusic @benjamincowen is a gift to us. Thank you for sharing your wisdom to the community! 🙏🏻

@martypartymusic Who do you think was the most incorrect on this platform?

Most annoying person on this platform:

@martypartymusic Prob one of the most trustworthy person to learn from. I enjoy his analysis in different directions of perspective.

@elonmusk I would love too but monthly expense is pretty high for us. Are you planning to have like daily or weekly subscription?

Try Tesla self-driving!

@Route2FI Literally paid my rent for the whole year… beautiful times!

Simpler days. I miss the yield haha.

@TraderMercury Perfect post 🤣

$BTC update: fuck.

@joecarlsonshow I notice you’re really great on controlling your emotions whatever this drama or investing which gives you a huge edge. I’m curious, were you always like this before you started your journey as an investor?

I'll always defending myself and the business I built from scratch. But I also don't care for drama. I don't have anything against Fiscal AI. I think it's a great product. I congratulated the founder of it on the last investment round and have wished them success. I have also talked to the founder personally and we were very cordial. Not sure why he felt the need to take a jab at qualtrim randomly on a friday. But who knows - everyone goes through periods of frustration from time to time🤷‍♂️ In any case, happy Friday. I'll have reactions to Duolingo and Netflix soon.

@DonAlt Dam dude! Got cancer and recovered… that’s why don doesn’t give a shit and just do boss stuff ! 🩷

>dad died when I was 12 yo >mom had to raise me and my brothers alone >grew up poor >did decent in school >went to university >got cancer >recovered >started trading instead of finishing university >decent at it >not poor anymore >met wife >two beautiful children >no sleep

@joecarlsonshow Time to take profits and buy more Meta 😎

I have mixed feelings Netflix giving up. At this point, it's probably best for investors (yes, I'm an investor), but this sure bites for the movie and TV industry. As a huge consumer of movies/TV, I want the industry to do well. Now there is going to be one fewer studio. Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros will be consolidated, fewer movies will be made. Paramount will have an insane amount of debt and leverage levels we've literally never seen, literally record-levels. How exactly do you invest back into the industry when you're managing record levels of debt? You can't. Paramount is going to be in the business of job-cutting, downsizing, "optimizing" for the next 10 years. They will need billions in cost savings to make their financials work. So while this is great for the stock (yay, it's up 10%), it does suck for the industry. I hope all the actors and writers and directors that complained about the Netflix deal realize what they got themselves into now.

@ramit How about investing in HOOD instead? Own the casino

As a reminder: No individual investor should use Robinhood ESPECIALLY YOUNG MEN: You're being sold a dream of being a successful trader. It's a lie. In reality, you've parked your money in a casino and, over the long term, you'll almost certainly lose to an index fund

@amitisinvesting What hood price do you think is a good entry start?

$HOOD Robinhood introduces the inaugural $RVI Robinhood Ventures Fund. - Raising $1B as it IPOs next week - Will buy/sell/hold stakes in leading private companies - Retail will be able to buy with zero accreditation needed and have liquidity to sell if needed - 2% management fee for Robinhood, significantly lower than traditional SPVs that take 20% Regardless of their stock being down, $HOOD is not slowing down the pace of product velocity at all.

@joecarlsonshow Wow that is pretty crazy lol

Some day, at the end of your investment career. You will look back and realize that you could have just owned Costco the entire time and it would have outperformed your portfolio and the market. 😭

@joecarlsonshow If you sold, I’m assuming you bought more meta? :)

This SPGI / MCO sell-off is intense. These companies are supposed to be boring utility-like duopolies, not battleground stocks. I'm staying put for now. I wonder what Dev Kantesaria and Chris Hohn will do, as they have a significant portion of their massive funds in these stocks.

@amitisinvesting @jrouldz Thank you since it’s below $150. Are you still excited to start accumulating?

@Poring_123 @jrouldz open.substack.com/pub/amitsdeepd…

$RDDT numbers look great The question is - why the share price underperformance anyway?
