@aakashgupta @grok Apollo capital?

Paramount just bought a $111 billion media empire with a $12 billion market cap. Read that again. Paramount’s market cap is roughly $12 billion. Warner Bros. Discovery’s enterprise value in this deal is $111 billion. David Ellison is buying a company nearly 10x his own company’s size. How? Larry Ellison’s net worth: $201 billion. He’s personally guaranteeing the equity commitment. Bank of America, Citi, and Apollo are providing $57.5 billion in debt financing. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Abu Dhabi’s L’imad Holdings, and the Qatar Investment Authority are providing equity. The combined entity will carry over $90 billion in debt. This tells you everything about what actually happened. Netflix offered $83 billion for the studios and streaming (the good parts). Paramount offered $111 billion for everything (including the dying cable networks nobody else wanted). Netflix looked at the math to match Paramount and said “at this price, the deal is no longer financially attractive.” That’s Netflix-speak for “we’re not overpaying for linear TV in 2026.” Netflix stock jumped 10% on the news it lost. Paramount rose 5%. The market is telling you which company made the better decision. What makes this really interesting: Paramount promised $6 billion in cost synergies. That’s code for mass layoffs across two studios, two streaming platforms, and overlapping cable networks. CNN and CBS News under one roof. HBO Max and Paramount+ merged. They’ll need those savings because the debt service on $90 billion will be brutal. David Ellison attended Trump’s State of the Union as Lindsey Graham’s guest on Tuesday. Ted Sarandos was at the White House Thursday afternoon. Both were lobbying. Ellison won. And his father’s close ties to Trump will matter when DOJ reviews a deal that puts CBS, CNN, HBO, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, and TNT under one owner. The real story: a 42-year-old with a rocky box office track record just assembled the largest media conglomerate in history, financed by his father’s fortune, Middle Eastern sovereign wealth, and $57.5 billion in bank debt. Netflix walked away richer. The question is whether Paramount can service the debt load while linear TV revenue keeps declining or whether this becomes the most expensive content library acquisition ever assembled on borrowed time.

as you probably know, i was definitely in the "4 year cycle is broken" camp. i think with BTC now at 69k, 45% off the highs (and a huge underperformance vs stocks) it's quite clear i was wrong because i think that's a big enough drop for me to classify it as a cycle. that being said, i would much rather be a buyer than a seller here, and in the context of where i think crypto can go the upside far exceeds the downside. i'm just simply never going to be one of those people who sht themselves at the lows, because time and time again, 99% of the money i've made in my life has come from accumulating risk in big dips, and often the best trades have been the ones where i feel like i'm the only person buying and it feels absolutely horrific. i think it's important to recognise and understand your trading and investing style, and a large portion of CT seems to have an obsession with catching breakouts. imo, this is a relatively low probability way of making good money, and i've seen very few people do it successfully consistently. even "good traders" who make money every year...the guys that killed in the 2021 or 2024 bull runs will have made many multiples more than these guys, even if they didn't have a good 2025 or 2026. a lot of people seem to be concerned that "crypto is dead". if you've been around long enough you will have seen this story multiple times before, and it's never the case. i think there is a great misunderstanding that "crypto MUST have a use case in order to go higher" - that's not really true...my belief is price often moves first and narratives come after to match the price. the tech always seems more revolutionary at higher prices, just like how art also looks better at higher prices. one thing for sure, i won't be fading the 4y cycle thesis again, it's clear to me that BTC is closely held by a large group of whales and if that's the narrative/playbook they wanna keep running, then that's what they gonna do and you can't fight it. what it does mean is that we will have another great big uprising and contrary to what you may think, the seeds to your wealth are actually sewn in the bear market. think about it this way, let's say you left in 2022 after the FTX collapse...you probably didn't return to crypto until mid 2024 to start trading again, and i bet you very few people made good money from that period until now. the people who actually made the most money, were the ones who stuck around during 2023, caught trades like $PEPE, $BONK, $MOG, $WIF, $SOL...if you were around during that period it would have been very hard for you to have not caught at least one of these...and that set you up to trade from a position of strength for the remainder of the cycle. the problem is, when you leave and when you sell, you will certainly miss the best opportunities...you're always sitting there thinking "i wish i was early"...well being early doesn't come from fkn off and thinking it's all over...sure...there's a lot of luck involved, but you have to put yourself in a position of receiving that luck which means locking in when everyone has given up, and taking risks when others are gun shy. the best and easiest strategy is to simply DCA and accumulate spot. too many people are obsessed at catching the bottom, and are mentally weak at being able to withstand negative unrealised pnl. however, the highest probability way to make a lot of money over a longer period of time is to accumulate lower and lower and build up a nice position, so you are ready for when thinks start moving higher again, it requires a lot of patience, and it requires a lot of conviction, because everyone around you will tell you "it's too early, lower first, i'm shorting here" etc etc...but none of these points are generally relevant to your goal. this strategy does not work if you are taking leverage, and it does not work if you are investing money you need in the short term, because it requires you to be patient and hold for long periods of time. however, i think the vast majority of people on CT would make way more money (potentially life changing for many of you) if they employed a strategy like this, rather than chasing aggressive quick wins (ie gambling). i am very grateful for crypto because i have made enough money to change my life substantially, but the significant majority of my gains have come from accumulating risk during 2022-23 and monetising during 2024. this next cycle will be different for me, because as you may be aware, i don't really trade much anymore and my full focus is on $REKT...but i think the same concepts apply. over the next few weeks and months you will see many project founders leave (already started) and communities slowly die. many coins will literally never come back and will be totally gone, and then the same project founders who left will return when the good times are back and start on their next grift. as you should have gathered, that certainly will not be me and it certainly will not be $REKT. 2026 will mark the 5th year of our community, which really truly formed and strengthened during the 2022 bear market. it is literally our bread and butter, engrained into our personalities and that is exactly why the entire project is called Rekt! but more importantly, i think the same concepts i mentioned about trading wholly apply to being a project founder. i believe this creates a far greater opportunity for us than if we were still in a raging bull where you have to really compete hard for attention. these are the moments when everyone gives up, and you make a name for yourself as one of the few things "still going"...and actually, if you deliver positive news and create meaningful developments, people are infinitely more impressed. creating something successful and truly inter-cycle requires trust. it requires people to believe "this thing WILL go up again when the market resumes", and this trust only establishes itself once a coin has proven its ability to bounce back and regain momentum. part of that comes from historical patterns, for coins where there are no "founders" (like BTC obviously), but for coins with founders, people want comfort that they are not going to leave and be working as hard as they can to not just keep things going, but actually excel the position. in then last 14 years of trading markets, these are the times i've really set myself up to make the most money, and meaningfully furthering my life goals through each cycle. that's not because i am a good trader, but it's because i know i have an edge in these environments when everyone else has given up hope and i see big opportunities, with little competition in hunting for those opportunities. it is with this mindset i intend on furthering $REKT + @rektdrinks this year and i inherently believe we have a massive opportunity to stand out as something interesting in what is a terrible market. we made massive strides last year, we've already delivered a lot in january, and i believe we have significant and sufficient momentum to make a pretty big mark this year. if the market stays this way, i believe we have a very unique opportunity to stand out, outperform and end the year making people think "fk, this was the trade all along". markets will be markets, but i think the worst is over...the question i ask myself is not "can we go another 30-50% lower", it's the fact that i know we can go another 200-1000% higher, it's just gonna take hard work and patience. the way i see it, is i have made money in a very specific, high probability way for many years, and if it ain't broke don't fix it. now it's time to do it with $REKT.

@MarioNawfal @grok what’s the FACE act & did Biden use it to throw protesters in jail?

🇺🇸 DON LEMON DEFENDS AGITATORS WHO STORMED CHURCH, MATT WALSH: "TIME TO ARREST DON LEMON" "Today, Don Lemon and a group of leftist agitators stormed a church service to protest ICE. This is a direct and flagrant violation of the FACE Act, which the Biden Administration used to throw pro-lifers in federal prison for years. Don Lemon and his co-conspirators should be facing federal prison. The Trump Administration must announce those charges immediately. I want Don Lemon dragged out of his house by a SWAT team at gun point. That's what Biden did to pro-lifers. Time to make these scumbags play by the same rules.

@TheOscarRace @NolanAnalyst @grok is this true?

Cillian Murphy wasn’t the first choice to play Thomas Shelby in Peaky Blinders — he almost lost the role to Jason Statham. During early casting, the show’s creator met both actors and initially chose Statham. Then Murphy sent him a text: “Remember, I’m an actor.”
