@ohyishi love the logical thinking, analysis, and the optimism in viewing all things. really reminds me of the 2 guys on a bus.

@sayinshallah huh? why not gold

Gonna slowly start accumulating Yuan over the next year, I think America has lost the trust of everyone and after all of this settles more and more countries will step away from trading in USD

@edwardW2 @Solzi_Sez where can we find the english translation?

Here is a page from a commentated edition of Master Zhu Rules for regulating the household 朱子治家格言 as presented in a chinese almanac (永經堂), and an English translation of the same text formatted as close as possible as to the Chinese.

So when you have unrealized capital losses, does government pay you instead?

@theblockspot who’s ray

Chris Paul is gone. D-Wade is gone. Duncan is gone. Shaq is gone. Dirk is gone. KG is gone. AI is gone. Melo is gone. Pierce is gone. Rondo is gone. Nash is gone. Bosh is gone. Ray is gone. Yao is gone. T-Mac is gone. Linsanity is gone. Scalabrine is gone. Your childhood is over.

@feiyen9 @YouTube curious what you think of this line of thought, any validity? x.com/DarioCpx/statu…

@bridgexplore @YouTube The two prices (SGE and COMEX) have been different since Dec. 15. In the recent month, it has varied from 13 to as high as 19%. The only way for the two prices to reach an equilibrium is for NY or London to send silver to Shanghai, but that is not likely.

@thiccyth0t can you do this space 4 hours later in the day, like 9pm est? that way lots of people in asia would be able to join thanks!

recently... $BTC daily % change = - abs ($Gold daily % change)

we optimized institutions for credentials instead of competence for fifty years. used degrees as proxies for ability. and then the proxy became the target, and the signal separated from the substance now everyone has the paper. almost no one can do the thing

@izebel_eth @jvb_xyz @5 this needs to be on @Polymarket

@jvb_xyz @5 i just dont think u actually filled any more after asking for it but happy to be wrong ya lets do 6:1 then

Done! Thank you @0xMummy for the trade. Who can escrow this? Still open on the trade - anyone else?

@QwQiao makes you wonder if gdp is a real measure of anything worthy

most sobering thing i read recently is that no technological revolution in the last couple hundred years - be it steam engine, electricity, or computers - however amazing they r, have changed the long term gdp per capita growth of 2%

@izebel_eth what movie?

@matthewstoller yep, in contrast to the following

What’s one thing almost no one mentions when discussing China’s secret to innovation and production? A low return on capital. That’s it. That’s the trick. Bankers do poorly.

@FR_Elvin_1908 @probably_sinuhe @380kmh or could be any small town in the United States

@probably_sinuhe @380kmh Could be Sweden could be Finland (ye I know finland is not scandinavia)

😬

@itschrisray congrats and keep it up

My financial journey so far: 2018-2019: At this point I’m 2-3 years out of college and just got my own apartment. I finished paying off my car and have zero debt. I’ve got some money saved up but it’s just a few thousand bucks. I also start investing with Betterment, a robo-advisor, realizing I need to have investments outside of a retirement account in order to generate real wealth before I’m 60. 2020: Covid happens and my meager gains in my Betterment account get wiped out. I don’t panic, because I know I’m in it for the long haul. I start paying closer attention to the stock market. 2021: I open a Fidelity brokerage account that lets me actively invest and manage my own securities. I decide to split my investing money between Betterment and Fidelity, with Fidelity being dedicated to more high risk bets (play money). I make a lot of mistakes this year but also discover $RKLB and make my first purchase. 2022: I continue to learn how to invest and look for good companies, but I could have done this so much better. I barely watched investing videos on YouTube, and wasn’t on Twitter at all at this point. 2023: Eventually, after a conversation with a friend I realize the returns I’ve gotten in my Betterment account are horrible. For something like 4 years, the account has significantly underperformed the 10-12% per year growth I was expecting. It hits me like a ton of bricks. So much time and potential compounding wasted. I immediately sell out of everything and close my Betterment account, moving all ~$20k into Fidelity. I strategically divide the money up amongst something like 8 stocks including names like $AMZN, $MSFT, $CRWD, and others. My Fidelity portfolio goes from $13k to $33k overnight. 2024: Things start to click. It’s obvious that getting out of Betterment was the right move. I vow never to let anyone manage my investments again. My positions do well and I trim some for profit for the first time ever after only experiencing selling at small losses after making mistakes. After my 2023 investments are over a year old, I decide to do something a little crazy. My conviction in $RKLB is at an all time high, and after buying the stock for years while it was barely moving, I can see it’s finally starting pop. So I sell almost everything and put it into $RKLB. This gets me about 5000 shares which nearly triple in value by the end of the year. After years of watching my investments bounce around between $30k-$50k, my portfolio is suddenly worth $150k. My mind is blown. 2025: I start buying $SOFI, and fund it with the sale of a couple tiny positions that I was waiting to hit long term gains on. I develop my own investing philosophy (maybe I’ll cover more in another post), I make a few swing trades, and $RKLB continues to grow. In June I find FinX and start posting regularly. I discover stocks like $LMND and $ONDS, the latter in which I build a large position. After hitting a peak of $425k in October my portfolio pulls back to $275k by Thanksgiving (today), but I have more conviction in these 4 companies than ever. I hope this timeline is helpful and demonstrates that the path to success is rarely a straight line. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but that’s just part of the journey that you’re likely going to have to accept. I still have a long way to go before I hit major goals like having a 7-figure portfolio, but for the first time ever, it seems like it’s actually doable. Excited to continue learning and sharing this process with you all!

@CianoLiam how you define as working “well” is completely arbitrary. isn’t it possible that different cultures may have different definitions of “attractiveness”?

eugenics simply increases the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable. so, how can one say that different regions did not amplify those traits that were/are considered attractive for the local culture? impact occurs as long as what's considered 'attractive' is consistent over long periods of time.

@joequant @oLevLovesLove this plays a role in why memory of japan is seen as more favorable - the killing was outsourced, and to say they were bad would implicate yourself and create cognitive dissonance

@joequant @oLevLovesLove people in taiwan were more easily manipulated as the populace was more visibly ethnic diverse, and were played against each other. this was harder to do in mainland.

People really wonder why Chinese are crazy about unification and Taiwan. Can't people just "let it go?". Well just go back one hundred years when China was split into dozens of warlords, and every foreign power (including Japan) was trying to carve China up like a melon.
