@eCom_Amin Amazing, trying the prompt right now

chatgpt images 2.0 is INSANE it got me that output with only a basic ass prompt will definitely be testing it for our clients' google ads ASAP image quality is so much smoother than before 👀

@dirtcheapbanks So how do you personally buy a bank?

The number of U.S. banks has fallen from 6,418 in 2016 to 4,320 today. That’s 2,375 mergers over 10-11 years, an average of 216 per year, almost all of them small community banks swallowed quietly by slightly larger ones. The CEO of a 98-year old community bank in the South told me: “We get calls every quarter. Premiums are running 1.8–2x book for franchises like ours. But we’re not in a hurry, unless the right buyer shows up with cash and a commitment to keep our people employed and the name on the door for a couple years.” Every year another hundred community banks disappear, and the buyers almost always pay up. It’s simple math. The ones left standing trade at discounts to tangible book because most investors can’t be bothered to drive three hours to a dusty old strip mall office in Greenville, South Carolina on a random Tuesday. Our job isn’t to mourn the slow death of this wonderful, highly profitable, hyper-local industry. It’s to show up where the consolidation wave is still breaking, buy the ones trading far below what acquirers will eventually pay, and let the structural tailwinds do the heavy lifting. The annual meetings are still empty. The discounts are still there. The buyouts keep coming. Sometimes the last sources of real alpha don’t require models or Bloomberg terminals. They just require showing up.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ And you can track this all on our free consolidation dashboard here: dirtcheapbanks.com/consolidation

@coinfessions Now listen. You need to give yourself time to understand the value of money. Volunteer somewhere for a year and don't touch the money. Set up your wealth in three tiers: 1) personal- you live off the interest 2) charity - you support charities or start your own 3) do not touch

What do I even do from here?

@Kryt0n_ @coinfessions What did Cobie do? Can you share the story?

@coinfessions I imagine if I truly made it, I’d love to retire some anon random on CT, like Cobie did back in the day. Must feel incredible to know you gave someone a lottery win.

@nevsumrider @pepemoonboy Do you pay cash or you need a mortgage to buy? Also how do you think strong coastal markets react when prices fall overall?

@fueltherocket @pepemoonboy im flexible (az, fla, sc ). sold my place in bucks county pa sight unseen to someone from ca. doubled my money in 6 years. pa is getting overrun by peeps from ny and nj. real estate is cyclical and i am patient.

This condo is $1.15 MILLION dollars by the way… Real estate prices need to go down.

@gginvestments1 @based16z Time to build

Honestly confused by the bid on crypto. Btc basically now consensus has to re org delete satoshi coins + Saylor complex 4% ownership on high interest levg / ETH defi + addresses + smart contracts post mythos and re ent hacks are probably 3x previously accepted risk premium. You can say markets bottom on bad news, anti government asssts also make sense atm. risk up across the board etc. I guess I’ll just keep buying 2 week tails that expire worthless.

@nevsumrider @pepemoonboy What area are you hoping to get a good deal in?

@pepemoonboy lol they sure do. Sold my place 1.5 years ago and now rent. Waiting…

@eCom_Amin Done

@fueltherocket Feel free to DM!

claude opus 4.7 just dropped and 99% of ecom brands have no idea what this unlocks visual acuity went from 54.5% to 98.5% now supports images up to 3.75MP (3x higher resolution than 4.6) which gave birth to 3 new KILLER ecom use cases: (exploit this as your competitive advantage while you can) 1. claude cowork becomes your market research team: - winning products found faster - winning niches identified with precision - winning ad angles extracted from actual data - scrapes blog posts, competitor pages, product pages, forums, articles, news - understands what's actually working vs what isn't 2. competitor research on steroids: - feed it full-res screenshots of competitor ads (get them from the previous use case or an ad library) - get accurate copy breakdowns, hook analysis, angle identification - ask it to find untapped mechanisms and opportunities that you can fulfill on 3. product page audits that actually work: - send full-resolution screenshots (get them from the first use case or manually) - collect accurate feedback on layout, spacing, typography, visual hierarchy - competitor landing page teardowns become genuinely useful - ask it to find hidden gaps to stand-out through branding i'm already using this for every client's landing page buildouts you could do some of these things before but no with as much accuracy and quality as you can now most people will ignore this because "it's just another anthropic update" meanwhile the brands using opus 4.7 are going to find every winning angle before you even know the niche exists exploit it while you're early - amin (some prompts in the comments below)

@gedamtekle My first paycheck went to a trip my mother dreamt of her whole life. Experiences are enabled by money, not the other way around.

My mom is 69 years old. Was the main breadwinner supporting our family of 7 as a nurse. Never complained. Was the MOST vocal advocate at our schools (felt embarrassing at the time). For over 35 years working daily. I never had to know the feeling of not having supportive parents. Nowadays, I would consider that a rarity. Especially after years of working in Law Enforcement. So when I was able to do something small, like buying her first-ever business class flight to Africa to see her mom... It was more valuable than any of the money my businesses and investments have generated for me. Point is... Making money isn't the goal. It's making memories with those you love. — Gedam

@itsolelehmann And did you consider what I recommended you?

@itsolelehmann How is it going so far there?

@joedab12 Would love to discuss your approach, send a dm some time!

I get it. Times like this are best building conviction and accumulating slowly-and when/if a big pullback comes on your favorite name-buy bigger tranches. I listen to earnings calls and spend time researching every stock I post about on claude or chatgpt for hours before posting. If my level of conviction is high-its for good reason.

$20 bet this is $VICR and again-you heard it here first in the 70-90 range the same way I was pounding the table on $AAOI in the 30s and $MU below 110 ATOM at 2 etc etc. Company name will be posted after they load more shares.

@CryptoGirlNova What do you think?

Lol, stocks almost back at all-time highs in a little over a day. Either this is a giant trap or we just got played.

@joedab12 The 'if' is always the issue, I have quite a lot of dry powder waiting, but am scared tbh

@fueltherocket its going to 300 within 6 mos imo. RMBS and ATOM also no brainers if we are back to bull market, as well as MU.

@RockBtmEntries What ticker do you recommend to best position oneself?

Lithium futures are extremely coiled. Break this range → implied ~50% upside. Top commodity squeeze candidate in a raging energy macro.

All this hate on 9-5 must die
