"WHAT DO I DO IN THIS SITUATION?!!!? HELP!!!" Well, Anon... The best "advice" I can say to you is, Sit on your hands, and stay alive Anon. Don't overtrade when you see the market correcting. Take some time off, enjoy the holidays, and jump back in with a gameplan. 👊 #powpow

Here's my conversation with Guillaume Verdon (@GillVerd) aka Beff Jezos (@beffjezos), a physicist, quantum computing researcher, and founder of e/acc (effective accelerationism) movement that advocates for rapid technological progress, physics-based reasoning, and memes. Guillaume & Beff are two fascinating identities co-existing inside one human mind, recently merged. And yes, I did talk to Jeff Bezos and Beff Jezos back-to-back on the podcast, because the most entertaining outcome is the most likely. Happy holidays! ❤ It's here on X in full, and is up on YouTube, Spotify, and everywhere else. Links in comment.
