@wclemente Bullish

The vibes in the crypto groupchats that I'm in are just sad honestly, people completely giving up and pivoting to other asset classes if they haven't already. Everyone seems jaded, depressed, and defeated, & how can you blame them given how BTC has traded this year

@APompliano But you do realize why prices are going down right? Demand destruction, which leads to job loss which leads to significant hardship for millions. Just making sure you realize the reason for price decline if that’s the outcome for tariffs.

Tariffs are not inflationary. They are deflationary. Here is continued proof of this uncomfortable fact. Inflation has fallen off a cliff in the last 5 months since tariff talk started.

@Cernovich Not saying this is the case for everyone. But when I had kids I was struck with a realization - “Oh, this is really where adult life begins. This is what I’ve been preparing and growing up for”

Your 30's are your MIDDLE AGE. You are not young. You are not a kid. Your whole life is not ahead of you. Half of it is over and the second half moves even more rapidly, with each decade (relativity). Get it together because you are running out of time.

@shaunmmaguire Yes but this will take a while. Why disincentivize renewable development in the meantime given the power needs and need to bridge the gap to nuclear scale

The West needs to build ~1k nuclear power plants ASAP

@BillAckman Ok….

This is an incredible NYC apartment, particularly if you like to swim (61 foot pool). It is totally mint and one of a kind. Built to perfection. I have seen it, and it is amazing. nypost.com/2025/04/24/rea…

@EricLDaugh Personal finance should be a mandatory high school class junior or senior year, along with nutrition

🚨 JUST IN: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent launches an all-out push for financial literacy among Americans. He says everyone should become financially literate.

Hate to be that guy, but growing feeling we are approaching the $BTC dislocation inflection moment….

@BillAckman Isn’t there a difference between deporting someone and deporting someone to a prison?

A nation in which one administration can allow millions of unvetted illegal migrants into the country, but requires that a court vet each deportation decision in an individually adjudicated case will soon lose the values our democratic system was intended to preserve.

@chamath @joshpacini Why have u turned into such a joke, man. A bummer

@joshpacini Joe Lacob, Steph, KD, Dray and Klay deserve 100% of the credit. my 4 yo could have won as many championships with the talent Joe assembled.

Steve Kerr is a hapless rube. He is blindly defending an institution that: 1) Is a Corporation with a $53B balance sheet masquerading as a non profit. 2) Has the absolute worst scores for freedom of speech amongst ALL colleges in America. 3) Was admonished and defeated by the Supreme Court because they were discriminating in their admissions process and violated the Constitution. 4) Has allowed anti Semitism to fester unchecked on campus to such a degree that it led to the ouster of their President because of her incompetence in dealing with it. Normally, when an executive at a company where I own equity speaks on topics beyond their knowledge and reveals themselves to be an idiot I usually just fire them or sell my equity. Fortunately, I already sold all my equity in the Warriors last year at the-then all time high so this isn’t my problem but the total ignorance of his comments still stands.

@alifarhat79 Oops we crashed the economy, now cut rates!!!!

THE ECONOMY WAS PERFECTLY FINE AND RUNNING TILL SOMEONE CAME WITH THE BRILLIANT IDEA OF TARIFFING THE HECK OUT OF EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH. STOP BLAMING THE FED FOR WHAT YOU DID.

@Remi_Steele555 @elonmusk Ya it should

@digitalme1231 @elonmusk If the statement actually included the words "merit based" ahead of inclusive and diverse then I could buy into your argument.

Wow

@megynkelly @DrMakaryFDA The idea is good, hope the execution is as well and the appropriate, educated parties are weighing in. Seems like we need to boost some research funding to support that, o wait….

MAJOR POLICY CHANGE AT FDA: no more Big Pharma on advisory committees weighing in on drug safety debates. Thank you @DrMakaryFDA!

@JoshMandell6 Would be terrible precedent. What’s to stop a president from putting someone in there 12 months before election to juice economy regardless of longer term consequences

The President is supposed to respect the independence of the FED. You might want to "End The FED", but as long as it exists, let's not put the sitting president in charge. One day, this system of pork-fueled politics, feeding the mouths of thousands of career politicians, their aids, spokesmen, lobbyists, pundits, and spin doctors will be replaced by a Constitutional Monarchy, serving at the will of the peoples' direct support. Consider this another bit of vision from the future ... Mr Trump may see himself to be the first new King of this new system. But the King shall SERVE THE PEOPLE, not HIMSELF and his EGO.

@kaffeearchives Bewildering that they would box out Sanderson

@TylerDurden 🤚

When you finally swap all your Ethereum for Bitcoin after holding down for 3 years.

@piersmorgan It’s outsourced best in class research for the government

If Harvard has $53bn of endowments, why on earth does it need or warrant another $2bn of public funding? Seems absurd.

@APompliano That’s fine. But you realize only reason they’d be deflation is because of demand destruction and recession? Just so we are on same page.

Truflation shows inflation is 1.36% today. Real-time inflation has been crashing since tariffs were announced. Tariffs are deflationary, not inflationary. The Fed should be cutting right now.

@chamath Bro you all over the place. First saying over reacting to headlines, and implying this is great negotiating tactic. Now think it’s a real question if bond moves represent fundamental global shift. Meanwhile your suggesting corporate credit default spreads are critical rn

Conspiracy corner: How can activity in the bond market shape policy? An established norm in capital markets is measuring the rate of change of a big move. What does this mean? When yields change by a lot, smart money will want to know 1) is this an acute change that happened quickly or 2) is this a gradual change? Acute changes tend to happen because of poor bets, risk arbitrage, covering losing positions or blow-ups. Gradual changes are because of philosophical changes in outlook. As you can rightly imagine, it’s hard for huge pools of money to have big philosophical changes in mere days and hours. They study things, engage all parts of their organization and all parts of their government and then act slowly and methodically. With that in mind, when I see the actions in the bond market, my critical question is: Would Central Banks, if they have had a philosophical change to their posture to US Ts and the USD, just dump or is this more about a short term repositioning, gaining leverage for a negotiation or, more banally, private actors making bets and/or getting stopped out. I think answering this question is materially important for all of us. FWIW, it’s hard to imagine a gaggle of PhDs running CBs and Governments around the world re-underwriting an entire new multi-decade approach to the US in the last 5 days.
