19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points.
Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children.
He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself.
On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in.
His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted.
He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders.
His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.”
McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up.
When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

People - if you bought meme coins thinking they were stores of value or investments and lost money selling the bottoms that’s on you. Own it and don’t make that mistake again.
The first use case of the internet you are on right now was the Pamela and Tommy porn movie which led to Amazon and everything we know to be real and valuable. No different with this new internet.
Don’t blame the infrastructure for your dumb mistakes.
You know you f-ed up. Stop blaming others.
When building infrastructure you have to test it at scale in the real world, meme coins were that test. They will be replaced with tokenized equity of actual companies with boards and business models and tokenized regulated debt.
Build something, make a business with a revenue model, invest and hold valuable assets.
Tired of the pathetic attitudes.
If you want to win, listen and learn. There is no easy money.
Investing takes research, conviction, time and a lot of luck.
Invest in the good technology, the good teams, the adopted and regulated technologies.
Don’t f this up again. Stop following people with no technical background and taking software investment advice from non software people.
I’ve been very clear about how this casino driven market is being run before regulation. You know now. Act like you know.
Take responsibility for your actions. There is a massive wealth transfer about to take place and it won’t be in meme coins and unused software.
Price makes narritive. Price is manipulated until there are consequences - follow the technologists not the talking heads. Accumulate the quality assets while others capitulate from fear and over leveraging.

@DrakeMaye2 better get a call from @FCHWPO
CELTICS ☘️ BANNER 19@BiggLynch
Jaylen Brown speaks on the ‘scars’ that built a champion. From the ‘22 Finals loss to the Warriors to the ‘23 ECF heartbreak vs the Heat. He turned that pain into a ‘24 Ring and now he’s passing that wisdom to Drake Maye. “Turn all that hurt into fuel, & I promise you, you'll be better for it. Level up, come back even better. Could have been an MVP year should have been an MVP Year for Drake Maye. I stand on that.“ 🗣️ FCHWPO TWITCH

Not an elimination game in the NCAA tournament capping off a perfect 10 for 10 from the field and 10 for 10 at the line for 30 points…. but pretty cool

@satsovercents @martypartymusic Yeah I’m spread out but tossed a nice chunk at it. Just want to know why it disappeared vs totally ignoring the fact that @martypartymusic promoted the shit out of it then cold turkey it’s gone. I don’t think that’s asking too much.

@BostonDuke @martypartymusic Not sure what your cost basis is but down 98% from ATH has to hurt. I hope you are ok in your other investments.
