@RadDadThoughts @SahilBloom Meditation is great

@SahilBloom love the message. what are some voluntary struggles you can expose yourself to each day to prepare for that? i feel like i get the physical part easier, workout, sauna, cold, etc. how do you prepare mentally?

Everyone should read this story… One day, a young warrior was walking to his training when he spotted his teacher, a master warrior, tending to plants in the garden. He approached cautiously and stood quietly, not wanting to disturb the man from whom he had learned so much. “What is it you want?” Asked the master warrior, without breaking focus from the plants. The student replied, “Why do we train for war? Would it not be more tranquil and serene to be a gardener and tend the plants?" The master paused, turned to the student, and smiled. “Tending the garden is a relaxing pastime, but it does not prepare one for the inevitable battles of life. It’s easy to be calm in such a serene setting. It’s hard to be calm when under attack.” The student nodded and turned away, satisfied with the answer, but the master wasn’t finished. “It is far better to be a warrior tending his garden than a gardener at war.” I think about that story almost every day. Because here’s the truth we all know: Life is hard. Chaos, uncertainty, failure, struggle, pain, loss. All of those things are a natural part of being alive. They’re not good or bad. They just are. And most of the time, you don’t get to choose the battles that come to your doorstep. You don’t get to pick the adversaries you prefer. You can’t negotiate the timing or the terms. There’s no “timeout” if you’re not ready. There’s no holding period if you don’t like what you see. The simple truth is that you meet life‘s inevitable battles at precisely the level of your preparation. That preparation is built upon the hard things you chose when you didn’t have to choose them: • The early mornings you endured. • The focus you engaged. • The boundaries you held. • The commitments you honored. • The difficult conversations you initiated. Every single time you embrace voluntary struggle, you prepare yourself for the involuntary struggle that will inevitably come. You don’t become invincible. You become capable. Capable of staying calm when others panic. Capable of thinking clearly when things fall apart. Capable of leading, serving, protecting, and persisting when the moment calls your name. Because one day, it will. A loss. A setback. A betrayal. An unexpected blow. And when that day comes, you will not meet the moment at the level of your hopes. You will meet it at the level of your preparation. So, choose the hard things today. Choose the habits, the disciplines, the conversations, the commitments. Choose the voluntary struggles. This is how you face the chaos of war with an internal calm. This is how you become, as Marcus Aurelius once wrote, “like the rock that the waves keep crashing over...unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it.” This is how you stand ready when the battle arrives at your door. Remember: It’s better to be a warrior in the garden than a gardener at war.

@Raadmobrem @SahilBloom Does that include mortgage payments + interest?

@SahilBloom Here is the more accurate chart when you account for rent, leverage, tax deductions, etc. Owning a house isn’t so bad anymore

I’ve seen this chart shared to argue against home ownership. It ignores two things: 1. Leverage from mortgage. 2. Married couples get $500k capital gains exemption on primary residence. $250k if single. HUGE advantage in after-tax value. Pre-tax is nice, but you eat after-tax.

@nateliason Agreed. Though, the price point isn't sustainable with today's tech. They have to pay a human to control everything in the background. I'm excited for several years from now when the tech is more autonomous. youtube.com/watch?v=f3c4mQ…

If it can clean the house + do laundry once a week, $500/mo is a steal compared to what it would cost to hire that help. Seems like a very low bar for it to hit.

@nateliason It crashed?

First major crypto crash where I had 0 leverage exposure, all spot. 10/10 would recommend.

@GBarsawme @skarpa23 @UpSkillYourLife If you’re curious, I can prepare a small presentation around what you shared and similar ancient Hindu practices that have been around for centuries. It’s awesome to see science rigorously test these methods. I’m sure there is more to study and uncover from these practices.

@skarpa23 @UpSkillYourLife Tell me more? Ancient practices are filled with wisdom. Westerners are catching up.

🧠 Confession: As a social worker with 17 yrs walking with trauma survivors, I hid my dysregulation. Up to 80% of adults experience trauma—and for many, the brain stays stuck in survival. Meta-studies show 7 simple rituals can rewire it for calm. Backed by science, not hype.

100% uptime for a decade is insane. Not enough people talk about this. No technology outside of crypto can claim that uptime. Microsoft, Amazon, Google...their cloud/data center cannot compete with this. Blockchains are ideal to power a global financial system.

@LimitlessFT @xai @Meta @Kimi_Moonshot @joshkale @cryptopunk7213 Can't agree with this take. The model is just part of the story and will be commoditized over time as you're seeing. OpenAI excels at product. It has like 80% market share in the chatbot space. They still move faster and better on product than all other AI teams out there.

OpenAI has officially lost their lead... - Outperformed by @xai Grok4 - @Meta is poaching talent for billions - Delayed open source model after @Kimi_Moonshot They're desperate for a win. GPT 5 soon? @joshkale and @cryptopunk7213 unpack in 60s 👇

@nightmayoralty Thanks! Yeah, I used to be pretty involved with Substrapunks. But haven't checked in on them in a while.

$BMNR has more than $2 billion worth of ETH. Let's go!

@gtboard Look at the doc from the SEC’s website. sec.gov/Archives/edgar… The entities he signed for control around 19 million shares.

@sankulsh Wrong.

Peter Thiel invested way more into $BMNR than people realize. He controls 34% of outstanding shares, not 9%. Accelerate.

@sassal0x @sassal0x might want to correct this. It looks more like 34% stake (not 9%). x.com/sankulsh/statu…

Peter Thiel just bought a 9.1% stake in Bitmine Immersion Technologies (Tom Lee's ETH treasury vehicle). ETH is going so much higher than you can even imagine.

@RyanSAdams @fundstrat @RyanSAdams you may want to update this. Peter Thiel seems to control around 34% of $BMNR, not 9%. x.com/sankulsh/statu…

Is this Peter Thiel buying a 9.1% stake in @fundstrat's ETH Treasury company 🤯 i have not been bullish enough

@asmah2107 On frontend, some levers: batch updates, stop when app not in use, different interval, decrease GPS accuracy, fused location on android, predictive path with backdated corrections would need to understand root cause and UX implications prior to making any of these changes.

@asmah2107 1. BE application layer receives the requests is horizontally scalable (see 12 factor app) 2. In-memory DB to store and query the X recent updates 3. To store historical data, a background process can be triggered. Use a DB like Dynamo with an index on timestamp+vehicle.

You're building a food delivery app. App tracks 100,000 drivers in real-time. Chaos. Driver's phone sends GPS coordinates every 4 seconds. Drained phone batteries, your servers overwhelmed 🥵 How do you fix this ?

@SuhailAhmad ETH imo has the better technology. Tons of tech trade offs so it’s not black and white. DM if you’re curious.

I’m not a programmer but from what I’ve read Solana is the better technology while Ethereum has better market adoption. Any techies want to weigh in, or is Tom Lee just talking his book after becoming Chairman of Bitmine Immersion $BMNR an Ethereum treasury company. Which btw was down another 30% today!

@JohnMaxton7 @fundstrat I thought BMNR’s market cap is 2bn, not 16bn. So they might have a better MNAV relative to SBET.

@fundstrat Look at this, @fundstrat please advise why do you think $BMNR is still investable

ummm... did u read the thread and understand it?

@aseoconnor That would be wild. I think it’s unlikely because he has a lot of bitcoiners advising him.

Prediction: Trump will issue a capital gains exclusion for US BASED tokens. $XRP and $TRUMP will pump on the news
