@MostlyPeaceful @TrevorSheatz Brutal lol

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

@LeVeonBell @WWE @LoganPaul You really need that bag, huh?

I’m pulling up to @WWE @LoganPaul

@byalexkw Alex!!, well deserved

Officially promoted today! Vice President/Lead Writer of Monday Night RAW! So honored and excited! 😆🎉

Hope they hire Danhausen back. Danhausen promises to not ride a bicycle around the projection booth this time.

@BrockLesnarGuy Brother man, you built up a following but did you think that would translate into being able to make $$$ off of it? At the end of the day, you're a fan like everyone else. Hope it works out for you tho.

I’ve been in some really dark places in recent times. But I always somehow manage to push through and I always somehow manage to comeback.

Another scammer popped in real time @JustinWerlein What a wild weekend for fin twit. Brian Stonks Blanto Werlein Who's next?

Can mr.planto @lanto_trades please explain to me why total transaction numbers and then the total expenses are different in the different screenshots he posted? shouldn't totals be consistent? so he took 8 tries and still couldnt get the math right?

@Patrickwieland @lanto_trades @thebrianstonk @itsryanrox lol. Grade A pic

Bro this can’t be a real photo of @lanto_trades @thebrianstonk in Puerto Rico No fucking way insane @itsryanrox how did you get this photo bro

@EliteClubS0B its almost like running the show in the same city back to back years was a bad idea. oh. wait.

Per WON, Ticket sales for WrestleMania 42 this week were reportedly worse than last week, despite WWE offering a 25% discount. 🚨🚨🚨

@HustleUpDaily yup

@StkishTCM They was hedging each other lol

This is wild, but not at all surprising in the slightest. For those curious, APEX email is about Brian Stonks. If he was engaging in this type of behavior, his bud Blanto likely was as well. Sigh. No honesty anywhere anymore.

@seelffff Alex, I’ll take things that did not happen for $500.

woke up with a $2,347 profit on Polymarket BTC 5-minute markets my friend developer launched my fresh strategy "Liquidity Sweep Reversal" overnight kicked off with a $400 bankroll on a test account fades the fakeout before odds flip 19 trades $99 avg win 58% hit rate simple instructions for you to start making money → on the 15-min BTC chart, add EMA 200 if price is above, bias is up; if below, bias is down → switch to the 5-min chart and find liquidity pools: fresh swing highs/lows or equal highs/lows → wait for a sweep: a wick breaks the high/low, but the candle closes inside the range → after the sweep, look for a reversal pattern like pin bar / hammer / engulfing high volume on the sweep, low volume on the next candle → enter on Polymarket: after the 5-min signal, fade the contrarian side downside sweep but up bias? Buy YES coded in JavaScript with zero lag you just need CLOB to trade on Polymarket now auto-trades 24/7 what do you think about this strategy?

@Medvidio Could not be anymore wrong with this post. Did you even try? or just throw it into GPT asking for a larp post?

Polymarket quietly removed the 500 ms delay for 5-min and 15-min markets No announcement, no warning just boom, and that’s it Bots that relied on arbitrage between the oracle and Polymarket are now dead or heavily affected One trader wrote that his bot dropped from $55k/day to $20 in a single day Others just shut down Takers now get genuinely more up-to-date prices. The game has now shifted from who’s faster → who’s smarter In my opinion, this is a step in the right direction The policy of removing the cheat for HFT bots makes the market fairer for regular people

Polymarket has removed the 500ms taker delay (time before your order executes) on the crypto markets without warning. This has (understandably imo) angered some users who relied on this delay to market make.

@pathtolibero @polydao dude.... this is the furthest thing from the truth lol. come on man.

The Chainlink oracle has a ~60 second delay on these 5-min markets. That's 20% of the entire window where someone with a direct price feed has a pure information edge. So the real game isn't prediction. It's latency arbitrage against the oracle. Whoever is pushing price in the last 10 seconds knows exactly what the Chainlink feed will report. They're not gambling. They're front-running the resolution source. This is essentially the same structure as HFT in tradfi options expiry pinning. Just on a 5-minute timeframe with way less oversight.

5-MINUTE BTC MARKETS ARE WAY MORE MANIPULATIVE THAN PEOPLE THINK replying to this because i literally recorded it > on the 5-min btc up/down market, in the last seconds before resolution, price was aggressively pushed in one direction > a sharp move > right before the cutoff > just enough to flip the outcome this isn’t normal volatility - it looks like deliberate last-second pressure to force resolution in someone’s favor 👉 in short - the final seconds matter more than the first four minutes now here’s the interesting part: > what if you let an @openclaw bot trade these 5-minute markets > not for the entire 5 minutes > but specifically to wait > and react in the last seconds Instead of predicting direction - you let the bot monitor micro-moves near expiry and respond instantly that’s where the real game might be ❗️be careful with size but also… think about execution speed

@DextersSolab AI slop/ larp. Stop embarrassing yourself

This update changed EVERYTHING Polymarket finally added 5-min crypto charts But most traders have NO IDEA what it really means Spoiler: vibe coders will make MILLIONS and retire Here's why: These new markets aren’t long-term bets. They’re binary. > $BTC up or down in the next 5 minutes. > $ETH up or down in 5 minutes. Resolved automatically via Chainlink. Every. Five. Minutes. This turns Polymarket from an event platform into a volatility engine. Manual traders? Probably cooked. In 5-minute windows, price can flip in the final seconds. By the time you click, the edge might be gone. But for bots? This is PARADISE. Why? More cycles: > 15-min = 4 rounds per hour > 5-min = 12 rounds per hour > 3x more opportunities. Early liquidity is thin (~$1k books). Thin books = wider spreads = mispricings. YES + NO < $1 still happens. Micro-arb becomes more frequent. Cross-exchange lag. Polymarket sometimes reacts slower than Binance/Perps. 30-90 second delays = exploitable deltas. Market-making scales harder. Buy $0.05, sell $0.06. Repeat hundreds of times daily. A lot of bots already print 5-10k/day on 15-min markets. Now imagine compressing cycles to 5 minutes. Example ($800k PnL): [@gabagool22?via=dexter-molu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">polymarket.com/@gabagool22?vi…] But here’s the catch: edges won’t last. Low competition phase = highest ROI phase. Once infra players deploy Rust + dedicated RPC + co-location… Spreads tighten and alpha shrinks. Polymarket is entering high-frequency territory. And most people still think it’s just a betting site. 5-min markets: [polymarket.com/event/btc-updo…] P.S. Told you to prepare for it weeks ago (check the quoted post). Hope you took your time. Don't miss my next post, will share smth about arb bots.
