@ThePumponomics 3rd world life 😅

@livemarat Wow 8 is crazy. What was the story there?

.@tyler and @cameron: "The financial crisis of 2008 catalyzed Bitcoin. AI is going to catalyze Zcash and privacy... Think of Zcash as encrypted Bitcoin..."

@ThePumponomics It’s a game of politics. I do support total banning but also I’m okay with more regulations against predatory practices. In Europe I’ve seen too many people suffering due to their sports gambling addiction. I made my first bet when I was 8 years old lol

@livemarat lol ya your analogy is spot on It’s not like betting goes away if it passes it gets funneled into companies that donate to the politicians and user experience degrades But if I had to guess it will pass.

@CrystalHope1979 LMAO. Wrote all that just to say nothing. It’s still illegal dumping.

A family from Brampton thought they’d found the perfect shortcut, dumping a mountain of household trash in a quiet Ontario cornfield. They thought they were being slick—until they realized they’d left behind shipping labels with their full address printed right on them. The farmer who discovered the mess wasn’t looking for a legal battle; he preferred a more personal delivery. He loaded their garbage into his tractor’s front-end loader and drove straight to their suburban driveway. When he knocked, a woman answered and quickly tried to play it cool, denying she was the person named on the packages. But the plan fell apart when a younger girl stepped to the door. The farmer pointed to a discarded toy in the pile and asked, “Is that your stuffed animal?” The girl’s honest nod was all the confirmation he needed. Out of the kindness of his heart, the farmer tipped the loader, returning every bit of the family’s junk right onto their doorstep. The lesson is clear: you can try to outsmart a farmer, but you’ll never outwork one. 🚜 Don’t mess with the people who feed you!

Life pro tip. Not enough people talk about this. The secret to having a "fulfilling" life is doing new things. Radically doing new things. Consistently. Every day. New activities, people, goals, even something as simple as trying new foods. Life feels longer when you're a kid because every day is packed with almost infinite amount of new learning. As you get older, you've already acclimated to your environment, the new inputs stop, so your perception of time speeds up drastically. You fall into routine, which is a time accelerant. If you want to feel like you have a long infinite lifespan, like you did as a child, you MUST be having new experiences, which slows time down.

@ThePumponomics Possibly I’m just early in my call 🥹

@livemarat Ah ya. Macro is rly tough (at least for me)

Spending your day looking for why the world is ending is just training your brain to spot failures. Do it long enough and you’ll become an expert at losing. Instead, look for the potential. You need that optimism to hold through rocky times and change your life.

@AIRealAgent @NBATopShot You got Roscamed

I’ve been part of NBA @nbaTopShot since the early days. I’ve spent five figures in the ecosystem and maintained a 100k+ collector score over time. I recently completed the Cool Cats Set to access the Nine Lives Lounge. But what I found there was disappointing. Thread 🧵

@levelsio its only romantic when you think about it years later

The irony is that traveling on <$1000/mo is way more fun than >$10,000/mo Luxury travel is extremely boring, comfortable, not challenging, sycophantic (yes sir) Travel on a shoestring budget you get inventive, are forced to meet locals just to survive and get around, have to hitchhike etc I like to combine cheap and luxury travel which keeps my brain from decaying and the contrast actually lets you enjoy both

@JonahGodsent2 @elonmusk The case is about a sore loser who lost the OpenAI battle to Sam Altman

@elonmusk Donating the proceeds to charity removes the profit motive, which means this case against OpenAI is really about principle and accountability. That makes it even more interesting to watch.

Btw, the proceeds of any legal victory in the OpenAI case will be donated to charity. I will in no way enrich myself.

@BrianSeong That’s NOT a privacy issue. That’s redundancy issue. On X it could be…attacker sees that you respond to every link reply so he sends one with malware

Tonight I paid $15,000 tuition learning why we need privacy in blockchain. After ~6 years working in crypto, I thought of myself as a somewhat a veteran in the space. And yet I just got hit by an address poisoning attack while using the Uniswap wallet. The ironic part? I knew about this attack already. But it was late at night in Korea and I wasn’t 100% focused. Here’s what happened. I moved $15k USDC into my wallet and sent a $1 test transaction first. It went through successfully. A few minutes later I sent the remaining $15k. But attackers had already been sending tiny dust transactions to my wallet from addresses that looked almost identical to the one I was interacting with. In the wallet UI, addresses appear like “0xAAAAA…0000”, so visually they looked the same. My $1 test went to the real address. My $15k went to the poisoned one. Because Ethereum is fully transparent, attackers can monitor wallets and craft these traps. Two takeaways: • Never copy addresses from wallet history • Always verify the full address Even if you know the attack — one moment of low attention is enough. Just another day working in Crypto

@DeyeyePaul So if I plan on buying a house in the next 7-10 years and I have max TFSA contribution room from 2009 is it best to put money into: A) FHSA B) TFSA

$5M in a TFSA is already incredible. What’s even more fascinating is that if the person withdraws the entire 5M tax-free this year, that same $5M gets added back to their contribution room next year. That’s one of the reasons I’ll always be a big advocate of the TFSA.

@MapleLeafWealth @BrandonWealth 16000 actually if you made account last year

@livemarat @BrandonWealth So TFSA room carry’s over for life, and you can only contribute a max of 8000 for FHSA

Most Canadians don’t realize how powerful the Tax-Free Savings Account is. You can invest in stocks & ETFs and pay: • $0 tax on gains • $0 tax on dividends • $0 tax when you withdraw Contribute up to $7,000 in 2026 (unused room carries forward forever). It’s one of Canada’s greatest wealth-building tools 🛠️ What’s your TFSA strategy

@MapleLeafWealth @BrandonWealth I have max room availability for both tfsa (decade+) + $16,000 FHSA (yr 2025, 2026). Can max out FHSA if needed this year or 20% TFSA for all years.

@livemarat @BrandonWealth It definitely depends on how much money you have. I strongly recommend maxing out your FHSA before you buy your first home. For FHSA you can only put $8000 in annually so it’s definitely something to think about.

@AutismCapital I’m allowing ChatGPT to teach me how to cook and make food decisions. Start to feel more energetic and happier even if it’s just placebo.

How do people not understand that by giving your entire thought process/reasoning ability over to an AI to do it for you, you are willingly neutering yourself of all critical thought? You blindly trust something programmed to regurgitate your own beliefs back to you. You've given the power of God to a company. It's the most Satanic thing you could ever do. Because the person controlling the context, the programmers of whatever AI you're using, control your mind. You've literally handed the keys to your mind to the manufacture machine, what are you even thinking, Modern Human? You at least have SOME choice, the children born into this world today have no chance at all -- they're turbo cooked from Jump Street. What are you doing?

@Deathswap1 @AssetTraveller What’s your argument?

@AssetTraveller I'd argue that FHSA has taken the cake, albeit a much smaller group that can really benefit from it.

Tfsa is the best tool in Canada. Do everything you can to max your contribution each year.

@lostlures69420 @BrandonWealth Why?

@BrandonWealth My personal strategy is to max my fhsa before any tfsa play, that 8k contribution room..
