Worked hard, done all the right things, and feel like buying your first home is still just too hard? Well, it's about to get a whole lot easier.

@brianluidog Brother if you're not listening to brr brr patapim tralalero tralala nightcore rap right now you're literally a boomer

@therealverg People are saying cooked/cooking is already OLD SLANG used by great-grandpas.

Tip for old people learning to be hip with the young kids and their slang: you can understand 99% of current slang by knowing that there's one word for 'good', and one word for 'bad.' The current words are 'based' and 'cooked.' There you go.

@goodalexander You're an original thinker but there's nothing original about ETH bull posting about the flippening

ETH flipping BTC is probably the only way you could make $50-100B liquid in crypto -- at $27B Net Worth Thiel is a 10-15x away from Zuck / Musk so he's probably still got permanent underclass mindset

@goodalexander On your PFT work you seemed to advocate getting advice from LLMs re what to work on, yet here you're saying not to take personal advice from LLMs. Did you change your mind or do you think a line needs to be drawn somewhere? Keen to hear more

As much as it’s profitable to apply “hyper reality” to assets (ie buying Palantir when there’s nationalism, or buying Bitcoin when there’s money printing) - it’s a reductive and bad approach to life as a whole Reading Soros later works - you’re left with the picture of an old man who tried and failed to apply a successful framework in markets to politics (Ukraine) and to some extent his own life. And he’s left with more questions than answers - too ancient to explore them further It’s best to treat people you spend a lot of time with on a hyper individualized basis rather than a collection of traits. You might have a friend who has sign value as a “fund manager” and everyone in his life treats him fully as a fund manager. Just treat him as a person divorced from his fund manager identity Everyone is quirky and isn’t easily reduced to abstractions. But at the same time everyone is capable of “being the meme” if they need to be in a professional context. And if you start introducing the triggers that brings that identity construct out - you will be interacting with a societal projection not a person Your relationships won’t be meaningful if you reduce people down to their meme. People aren’t stocks I only really learned this by being a storm trooper NPC for my entire childhood and most of my adult life - then due to some health issues - kind of existed in an absurd wasteland for years. It was only after I discarded the 40 layers of narrative that I was able to even connect with anyone in real life Obviously this is not a good way to make money. And you can’t have that many personal interactions. I don’t think it’s a good idea to put your personal life on blast on social media for this reason as well. When you see all kinds of reductive statements on social media like “Asian girls are truffle pigs for white founders” or even the more innocent “looking for a co founder for life” or even just ppl memeing their trad wife / trad husband lifestyle. It reduces the sacred to a performance You also shouldn’t be asking LLMs for advice on personal decisions in my view. This also aligns with LLMs advice - if you actually quantify it — so even if you’re an AI maxi. There should simply be domains where logic and token compression isn’t the main driver Spontaneity is what makes us human in some ways More economically I think the level of profound cynicism that is required to thrive in the status quo can only be supported by a rejection of the underlying alienation in the rest of your life. Like you can’t trend trade relationships. Or map them into business cycles. Or you end up just going completely insane/ probably alienating ppl in your life If you’re depressed generally it’s hard to see things clearly in an age when clarity of vision is increasingly the only differentiator . Being able to derive value from your own life without technology is also the only way Westerners will be able to avoid the digital vortex. This is a weird post so I’ll just end it here

@Versace_Trader @brianluidog New use case unlocked

@therealverg @brianluidog ‘Edgell’ sounds like lube for gooners

Tried a variety of canned baked beans (room temperature). Rating: 1. Heinz beans in ham sauce 2. The Condiment Co baked beans in rich tomato sauce (way cheaper too!) 3. SPC rich tomato sauce baked beans 4. Heinz beans in tomato sauce

@skyquake_1 sky this is a work of art, criminally underappreciated

Me: I should seriously consider buying some long term ETH [Life flashes before eyes]

@knveth @brianluidog your linkedin was doxxed

you shouldn’t read 99% of the books traders recommend on here 📕 but you should read this one. you won’t be able to understand other traders or other people, if you don’t first understand yourself. focusing on introspection will lead you to more wealth than any finance book.

@worstcontrarian It's here now brother: basistrade.xyz

@worstcontrarian @bowtiedbrazil "Fastest way to die" sounds accurate

This is the fastest way to die lmao

@ScottPh77711570 Just plugging in my shitty version of a funding screener basistrade.xyz. It's scrappier but it aggregates funding from multiple venues

@0xLightcycle @IDrawCharts @therobotjames @zhusu @macrocephalopod @systematicls @0xfdf Anyway, I'm getting off track Back to cross exchange perp trades You need a dashboard My excellent friend @liquiditygoblin has made his public These are a fn GOLDMINE.

A thread on funding arbs in crypto 🧵1/

@brianluidog Time for me to read them again 🫡

Been updating my blog to plain HTML. Here's how many posts I wrote each year 2018: 11 2019: 2 2020: 2 2021: 1 2022: 0 2023: 0 2024: 1 The two blogposts in 2020 are by far my favourite ones. Looks like you need to write at least 13 blogposts before you start writing good ones!

@goodalexander What about retardio?

study Ripple. Tether. Block One. Binance. Hyperliquid. don't study: basically everything else

@Al3399Al Huh that's weird. Js on the lage isn't obfuscated so it shouldn't be hard to read the code and see it's not doing anything nefarious. But still I wonder why they'd flag unless it's by looking at keywords related to crypto?

@therealverg it gives 3 warnings on virustotal for some reason virustotal.com/gui/url/e6451b…

Built a tool for tracking some arbs. Used it a lot myself, but moved on to other trades. Figured I'd put it out there in case it's useful to some of you sickos. Code's pretty rough. No promises on long-term support or anything. Use at your own risk. basistrade.xyz

@TheArtagonist @worstcontrarian No problem. I made a better tool to find these trade basistrade.xyz

@therealverg @worstcontrarian True, thanks for this verg … 🤝
