@wealthbuildin15 dad needs youtube studio room, mom needs instagram workout room

Most people buy way more house than they need. I’ve worked in thousands of new construction homes, the number of 2 parent, 1 child families buying 2000+ square foot houses blows my mind. For decades larger families lived in 850 sq ft bungalows. What the fuck happened?

@michaelrwolfe i heard they want to also showcase their current favorite 8 people on their profile

Just had a conversation with some recent college grads who say what they really want is a social network where only someone with their .edu can sign up.

@Icebergy wells fargo

i dont think you can recreate eth today so what even would be the settlement layer of the internet

@crossedentropy @daaniyaan you think tradfi was buying harrypotterobama?

hype is consensus within the crypto community but it is not yet consensus within the tradfi community hyperliquid is starting to cross the chasm from being a purely crypto product, to being a crypto-tradfi product and the potential amount of money that tradfi has to allocate to hype is *massive*

Do you think this will happen to HYPE? Yes/No

@WillManidis because if you cant learn the language in the first 3 seconds, no one cares

its genuinely shocking to me that we haven't made giant strides in language acquisition due to ai. it doesn't feel dramatically easier/faster to learn a new language than it was 24-36 months ago. why?

@Polish_Buddy @garyvee @veefriends you seem to be really invested for someone with no exposure 👀

@Polish_Buddy @garyvee @veefriends you have faith in him yet you "dumped all your cards years ago?"

Anybody else remember when 2026 was supposed to be the big year of changes for @veefriends “C&C Compete and Collect” And then absolutely nothing happened? lol what the fuck @garyvee? I’m not complaining too much as I completely saw this coming and dumped all my cards years ago. Smart enough to not believe the bullshit that @jeremyknowsVF feeds me 😂

bring it back @Apple

@rileybrown pretty sure they did?

dude what is going on Anthropic could launch a T-shirt and it would get 10M views.

@Tradermayne need a feature that gives me guaranteed winning trades please

Person - I want to use the product but it needs more features! The founder of the company - Request them and we'll add them Person - That's not my job. I won't be specific but it needs a lot, but I won't tell you cause that's not my job.

@CryptoCred you write this as if you are not the normie flow

There have been a few key changes in crypto market structure. I've written about this topic before but I found myself carrying some stale epistemological baggage about how the market used to be versus what it is at the moment, so thought I'd share. 1. More coins than ever before and the barrier to creating new coins has never been lower. 2. More competition for the hot ball of money (AI, semis, tech, even commodities) and instruments like 0DTE options - all of which are very attractive to normies. 3. Change in participant type and sophistication - ETFs, more tradfi shops, suits etc. 4. Normie flows that used to concentrate around a few CEXes and a limited token set have been fragmented by the infinite listings and existence of the trenches. There are fewer normie flows, they're spread too thin, and it's difficult to come back to the casino if you get dumped on for holding longer than 15 seconds. The main attractor to crypto used to be outsized, long-lasting, and well-distributed trend and momentum effects that were easy to access because there weren't that many venues or coins. That's basically up only/alt season i.e. multi-month periods that were responsible for a disproportionate amount of a crypto trader's lifetime P&L. A rising tide lifting all boats is an overused but appropriate analogy - it didn't really matter what coins you bought. If you got the broader market conditions right, you'd enjoy significant uplift and basically get bailed out even if you made bad picks. In the current paradigm you can't afford to make bad picks. To be precise: in previous cycles if you got the conditions right but the assets wrong, you'd still make money but underperform. In the current cycle (even from the most recent BTC run) if you got conditions right but the assets wrong, you got shafted. So asset selection went from a nice-to-have enhancer to one of the main drivers of returns, even if BTC is going up. That's a pretty significant departure from what we've dealt with in the past This type of dispersion is a symptom of the market maturing. I think that's a net good thing and is likely to incentivise more intelligent token design, less ghost chain VC slop etc. But that's a forward-looking view, and at the moment we're trapped in this awkward transition phase where the old rules don't really apply but we haven't figured out a new framework yet e.g. top N coins by market cap are still mostly shit vs quality. Maybe I'm wrong and everything changes and we go back to the market-wide altseason paradigm when conditions are right. This could all be cyclical, but I think that's less compelling than before given the dispersion we saw on the way up too vs just to the downside. I think it's a good time (especially with other markets and asset classes going crazy) to revisit where crypto sits in the speculative stack and how to approach it as the market is changing. Cheers.

@VernNotice just because you dont interact with the content doesnt mean there isnt a signal. when you fall asleep and the video's just play the algo sees that you "watched the whole video" which means you liked it, and it serves you more

How do content creators win the algorithm lottery on different platforms? I fall asleep to YouTube videos every night. I leave auto play on and every night I’m woken up by the same creator that I have never once clicked on. They aren’t playing the same game, same genre, nothing.

scrolling = information ❌ scrolling = inflammation ✅

@DouglasWei43233 @BestBuy @Target I bet in a month or so you are going to bit*ch about something at target and write a tweet threatening you are going somewhere else- like they actually give a shit what you do

Hey @BestBuy , you fight “showrooming,” but when I try to buy any of five different computers on your shelf you have none of them in stock. So now I’m driving to @Target . Do you really think the next time I need to buy a computer I’m even going to look in Best Buy?

@PR3BU1LT @WSJ that anger you digitally scream with being "so fucking mad" is EXACTLY why articles like this are written. they thrive off yours and others anger

@WSJ This made me so fucking mad to read this. Who fucking cares about this. They’re made by the same company and they both taste the exact same. Whoever wrote this should be fired.

As Coke Zero gets bigger, and threatens to dethrone Diet Coke as the most important diet soda property in the Coca-Cola extended universe, the feud between Diet Coke fans and Coke Zero drinkers is getting pretty fizzy. on.wsj.com/4wKhvI5

@ViralRushX @nikitabier small creator? but what the hell do you create?

Guys, I don’t want any money from any of you, thank you so much. I just wanted fairness, not only for me but for every small creator like me and @nikitabier has done it. If you’d like, please consider donating that money to a children’s charity, or any charity of your choice. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

You are a star @nikitabier thank you 🙏❤️

@WH_NursingStaff @muskonomy he isnt taking away his account- he said he will no longer be in the creator program (aka getting paid for his reach)

@muskonomy His account seems fine to me:

NEWS: X just kicked out one of its biggest accounts for stealing content. Massimo built a massive following by taking other creators' videos, cutting out the watermark and posting them as his own. Thousands of videos. Same trick every time. Nikita Bier, X's head of product, told him directly: "Today is your last day in the Creator Program."

@soberseas *people who visit people who live here are not that stupid

People in California sometimes go to the beach to watch the sunrise but the sun rises in the east and then they get upset

if you think of scrolling twitter like sitting in a crowded cafeteria its sort of cool - you can listen in on the conversation you find interesting. if you think of it like a stream of thoughts in your own head- its like anxious racing thoughts

@kevinrschultz who managed the managers managers manager though?

This went viral so I don’t feel bad commenting on it. I was Sam’s manager and he’s great. He truly cares about his people and built a fantastic team culture. I don’t know what Meta is doing if they’re pushing people like him that are natural managers back into IC roles.
