The media will call you antisemitic for protesting against this

Finally, the identity of the Palestinian fighter who changed the oil on a moving Merkava tank in Gaza has been revealed. His name is Karim Abu Arja.

🚨🇮🇱 BREAKING: IDF sniper in the West Bank just shot a Palestinian kid in the head for fun. Why is the media refusing to cover this story?

Cashu is powering far more than just Bitcoin wallets. While most people think of standard user-facing Bitcoin wallets when they hear Cashu, there’s a whole separate economy emerging around machine-to-machine payments. One of the best examples is Routstr, an open-source decentralized marketplace for AI inference. Routstr uses Nostr and Cashu at its core. Providers offer AI inference, and users pay for AI with Bitcoin. You can use Routstr as a normal AI chat interface or as a provider for your own AI agent. It gives users access to hundreds of models, similar to OpenRouter, but paid in Bitcoin with strong privacy for the payments attached to your AI chats. There are no accounts. To fund your balance, you pay a Lightning invoice and mint Cashu ecash. Every time you make a query, you attach ecash to the request itself as a bearer token and micropayment for that individual call. Now here’s the cool part. Anyone can become a provider because Nostr is an open network. Anyone can become an ecash mint because of how easy it is to run a Cashu mint. And every Routstr user has full control over which providers and which mint they choose. I think Routstr is a great example of what becomes possible with a micropayment system like Cashu on Bitcoin. It removes much of the friction involved in building apps that use payments, because you don’t need to create user accounts, build a ledger, or track users at the expense of their privacy.

i love SF symbols, but gosh i can NEVER find icons i want. there are 6k+ options, categories make no sense, and search is useless so i fixed it:

Revenge trading will kill your funded accounts faster than any losing streak Here's what actually works: Hard stop after a loss. Close the platform. Leave the screen for the rest of the session The first 30-60 minutes after a loss are the most dangerous window. That's when the urge to "get it back" is strongest. Most traders know this and still sit there and take another trade Two-loss rule - if you lose twice in a day, you're done. No exceptions. No "but the setup is perfect". Done Also - stop watching other traders win when you're down. Seeing other people take profits when you're in the red does nothing except make you angrier and more desperate to trade And the mindset shift that matters most: The market will be there tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after that No trade is a "must-take today" trade. There is ALWAYS another setup coming Once you actually believe that - the urgency disappears. And without urgency, revenge trading has nothing to feed on Your funded accounts don't care that you had a bad morning. But one emotional trade can end an account that took you weeks to build Protect it

This is what happens when you try to save Gaza without resources or power. The IDF will assault you and arrest you.

I only trade the London open and NY open Two sessions. A handful of setups per week $5-20k in payouts most weeks You don't need to be at your desk 10 hours a day (although I still do because I just work too hard lol) You need to be there at the RIGHT times

I spoke to a trader last year who was pulling $15,000-$20,000 a month from prop firms consistently. He was good. Really good. 2-3% a month across $600k-$800k in funded capital. Low RR. High win rate. Consistent payouts. I asked him what his plan was with the money. 'I just leave it in my bank account. Prop firms are the business.' I told him that was a mistake. He disagreed. Fast forward 14 months. Three of his main prop firms had either folded or started rejecting payouts without explanation. One firm froze his account mid-payout cycle - $8,400 just sitting there, unprocessed. Overnight, his monthly income dropped from $18,000 to around $4,000. Same trader. Same skill. Same win rate. But almost all of his income was tied to platforms that he had zero control over. He had $190,000 sitting in a savings account doing nothing. No live account. No personal capital. No backup. Here's what most traders don't do - but should: Every time you get a payout, take a portion and build a live account. Even if it's slow. Even if it feels pointless when the prop firm money is flowing. $500 here. $1,000 there. Reinvest into a real account that YOU own. Because prop firms are a tool - not a foundation. The skill is yours forever. The prop firm capital is not. If every platform disappeared tomorrow, could you still trade? Or would you be starting from zero? Build something that belongs to you.

Russia tried to control him , France arrested him .

Absolute legend. 🔥

A guy messaged me a few months ago. He'd been trading for 3 years and had passed exactly zero prop firm challenges. Not because he couldn't trade. Because he kept doing this: Day 1 of a new challenge - calm, focused, patient. Day 3 or 4 - up 1.5%, everything going well. Then one bad day. Down 0.8%. And instead of treating it like a normal losing day - he'd panic. Start taking extra trades to "get it back." By end of day he was down 1.9% total. Next day, same thing. Digging deeper. Every single challenge ended the same way. Not from the first loss. From what he did AFTER the first loss. I asked him to pull up his last 5 challenge accounts and track where exactly they failed. In 4 out of 5 - the account was fine after day one of a drawdown. It was the revenge trading on day 2 and 3 that killed it. So we made one rule: If he hit his daily loss limit - he closed the platform. Done. No exceptions. No "just one more trade to recover." No "the setup is perfect though." Closed. Gone. Come back tomorrow. He passed his next challenge in 19 days. First payout was $1,800. Six months later he had 6 funded accounts and $480k in capital. The trading was never the problem. It was the 24 hours after a losing day. If you keep failing challenges - go look at your data. I'd bet the account isn't dying on the first red day. It's dying from what you do next.

Imagine spending 3 months passing a prop firm eval What are you doing bro Increase your risk, try to pass the account in 1-3 trades if possible If you fail, just buy more If you can’t afford to buy multiple prop firm accounts - you shouldn’t be trading them in the first place

@andrew_nfx The trading is good when its simple

I don’t know how many times you have to be told this But profitable traders aren’t wizards, they’re not trading some ‘golden strategy’ They just: 1. Trade one strategy that has a decent edge 2. Have enough chart time to know WHEN they should deploy their strategy and when to sit out of the markets 3. Have enough emotional control to not make dumb mistakes It’s literally that simple Most of you are looking for the ‘golden ticket’ that will make you profitable The reality is much more boring You just need more repetition with one strategy and more chart time
