@ThinkingUSD 4ply toilet paper.

Taking a break from markets here. What's something you've purchased, that you feel is significantly improved your life regardless of the cost?

@mrjasonchoi @laurashin Specifically a cougar?

@laurashin Laura how did you become a carnivore?

I got into crypto 11 years ago as an innocent liberal New Yorker who never gave a thought to what the USD was or how its value was determined, and now I’m a Bitcoiner, carnivore, and the kind of person who needs to know how Kevin Warsh is going to affect the USD, gold and bitcoin

The only narrative supporting price going down is historical PTSD

4. There are multiple plausible narratives that can support price going up and any or all of them can be true even if some aren't - EV/AI buildout demand, fiat debasement, safe haven demand from heightened geopolitical risk just to name a few

All these amazing pattern matchers saying silver has definitively topped because it's gone parabolic for a little while have ignored some inconvenient facts: 1. Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent

RIP David Webb. You’ve been an inspiration to many of us. David used his savings after he left corporate finance/IB at 33 and skillfully invested in HK stocks to grow to a USD 170 million fortune in 20 years. Cancer is awful, let’s be reminded to enjoy life and pray for health

@arthur0x Finally - it's about time I got a big win.

@mablejiang So懶啊

this was how i got reminded that Solana probably deserves a better Chinese name lol x.com/ynonestop/stat…

the other day someone reminded me that @solana still doesn't have its Chinese name ethereum has 以太坊 (yitaifang) and it makes it much easier to get to the other side of the world after all, an ICM is formed by global institutions and retails. Maybe now is a good time to hear what the community thinks a good Chinese name should be? 👀 @toly @calilyliu @solana

I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control. Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU). Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy. A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away. We’ve been fed a lie. We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech. By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological. So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.

One week ago, we surpassed $10m Volmex Index-linked perpetuals trading volume on gTrade since launch. Total volume now: $15,712,942 Accelerating every day. Volmex everywhere.

Solana stablecoins are gaining material marketshare vs Ethereum mainnet + Top 3 L2s Stablecoins issued on Solana as a percentage of Ethereum mainnet + Top 3 L2s is 9.84% today 170.75% increase in the last year 280.57% increase YTD I see no reason why this figure doesn't go to 25%+ in next few months

@Haider @Tribeca An invite would be irreversible

I’m hosting the first [mild mild west] premier tomorrow with Vincent Cassel and @Tribeca at a private event at Palm Jumeriah Comment below to get an invite - space is limited!!!

Fundstrat (@fundstrat), a pioneering market research firm among the first on Wall Street to cover Bitcoin, highlighted the BVIV Index in its most recent update.

What we have here is a secular priesthood preaching gospel to a generation of men hungry for guidance, yet incapable of fulfilling the most basic biological or civilizational imperative: the creation of a family. Tim Ferriss: the productivity hacker turned self-experimenting monk. Andrew Huberman: the neuroscience demigod whose dopamine maps rarely intersect with intimacy or fatherhood. Lex Fridman: the emotionless black-clad pod-priest who flirts with sentimentality but recoils at generativity. These aren’t men with families — they’re cult leaders of sterile optimization. Their mantra: hack your life — not live your life. You want to know what they’re really selling? Surrogate masculinity. Masculinity unmoored from duty, generational continuity, or even real-world consequences. What they offer is a hollow, anesthetized masculinity: dopamine schedules, journaling routines, five-hour morning rituals — but no sons, no daughters, no wives, no lineage. This is not wisdom. It’s a simulation. And millions of young men, starved of fathers, swallow it whole. Where are the podcasts about building families, holding down difficult relationships, sacrificing for children, standing up for tradition? The algorithm doesn’t reward those. It rewards slick, postmodern celibacy dressed as enlightenment. Ferriss, Huberman, and Fridman are not countercultural sages. They are the ideal products of a dying civilization: libidinally spent, spiritually castrated, generationally irrelevant. And what does it say about us — that we’ve enthroned them as our guides? I would call this the ultimate psyop: a priesthood of hyper-individualist eunuchs preaching salvation through narcissistic self-improvement, leading us away from real, rooted life into the infinite loop of personal branding, quantified selfhood, and “high performance” — but not legacy. Let that sink in. Do you want to follow men who optimize their testosterone — or men who use it to build a future?
