@coldhardsats Ha, yeah exactly. i did get wagyu cheesesteak. Fries fried in tallow. 🤝

@macrojack21 Order all of the cocktails then only pay $15.60 total, as the menu days.

i feel obligated to order

@macrojack21 My AI has been running for 7 days straight. That’s why you’re in the permanent underclass.

if your morning routine doesn’t include sending a message to Claude to kick off 5 hour limit, then you may be permanent underclass

50% off all smash buys through Labor Day 👀 bitcoin is down 50% from ATHs, what are you gonna do about it?

most finance pros can't make sense of the markets anymore, and it's not their fault if you don't understand what's happening with the money, you won't understand the melt up can't save in dollars or bonds. and everyone feels the equity floor could fall out any day got bitcoin?

$SPCX rivaling shitcoin level drawdowns

Bitcoin is deep in a bear market. Sentiment is awful. Historically, that's been the time to accumulate. Meanwhile: equities at records, AI taking the air, Wall Street building the rails, clarity coming. We built Back to Basics to help you stack bitcoin while the price is low 👇

i know it doesn't feel like it some days, but having opportunity to stack at $60k is really a gift, especially for those who've came into BTC the 1-2 years... take advantage of it or your future self will be eating the bugs

@ChrisOw50104388 Most people can’t outperform

@macrojack21 Dont buy US broad-based index funds. you are flushing your money down the toilet on AI garbage. Invest in companies that are appropriately priced.

if you had to give one piece of advice to a 20-something trying to escape the permanent underclass, what would it be?

@_Rob_Wallace I can get behind that

@macrojack21 Build in public

@kanemcgukin speaking to that dynamic?

@macrojack21 This is the most similar account. It doesn’t mean you have to be a doomer, but it does help you understand the behavioral signs.

a lot of financial professionals don't understand this market anymore. they just can't say it out loud. stocks that keep climbing no matter what. valuations that haven't made sense in years. a market that feels like it could fall off a cliff any given year and wipe out people's retirements. nobody says it, because they're supposed to be the professionals in the room. but here's the trap. you can't sit in cash, inflation eats it. you can't hide in bonds, that era's over. and you can't fully trust the thing everyone's crowded into. when every asset of the past is breaking down at once, that's the signal that something new is coming to replace them. figuring out what that is might be the most important financial decision of the next decade.

@PunkLink That’s how it should be, save and focus on what you’re good at

@macrojack21 Specifically, look at cash + bitcoin (almost any proportion over years) and tell me that does not solve the issue and let u focus on your work and forget finance

@MikeAmmo Bonds?

Buy assets. It’s pretty clear which one I like most, but invest in assets.

@MartyBent Thanks for sharing this man, looking forward to checking it out.

AI slop is real. Most of it sucks. I’ve been writing newsletters by hand since 2017. It took me a while to get comfortable letting AI into that process. But the system we’ve built at TFTC has changed how I work, so I decided to show the whole thing. I dump links and voice notes into Telegram. Martin researches them, checks my framing, pulls context from nine years of writing and podcast transcripts, and builds the Ghost draft. Then I go through it. I pick the stories. I tighten the argument. I kill bad writing. Nothing gets published unless I approve it. While Martin is working, I can go do something else. That’s it. Not magic. Not “press a button and become a writer.” Just a hell of a lot more leverage. Watch it and tell me if I’m a sellout.

@mackay3688418 Maybe not only patience though, but most retail investors dont know which businesses to own since its not their core competency. I do think many retail investors are patient and they need to be as it relates to passive investing.

@macrojack21 Categorically agree which is why I love this environment. 20% of pros are tremendous investors and the rest are just milking fees and don’t need to exist. Retail has the chance to own great businesses at the right valuation and just let time work- but they’re too impatient.

@itsdaveburns i think thats great advice Dave

@macrojack21 Lean into discomfort. Whether it's doing hard things, fighting distraction, fear of being different, questioning norms, etc. - make discomfort your friend and you're likely to benefit significantly.

@John_Ely_21m important for sure

@macrojack21 always keep learning

@eodnhoj77 I like the idea of living below means and starting as early as possible. Im not as convinced about younger people using SPY as their primary savings account though

@macrojack21 Live 20% below your means - invest the rest in the S&P 500. Max Roth IRA, HSA, and Roth 401k (first if you have match). Start as early as possible. Don’t look at your balances until 40’s.

@mackay3688418 I dont doubt it, but most people are terrible investors, ironically, including those who do it professionally

@macrojack21 This is the best single stock picking I’ve seen in 20 years. Investors have been plowing into indices for hard for a long time. Turns out, that strategy has run its course as it requires you to ignore valuation/math. Those who can do math, have an array of reasonable stocks today
