What do you see?

@TedPillows someone should check on @PeterSchiff

$1,250,000,000,000 has been erased from Gold and Silver in the past 6 hours.

@preston_holland buy an airplane and write it off. I know a guy who may be able to help you shop. 🤣

Every time I do taxes I become a little bit more angry at fraud and am tempted to start dumping tea in the water. Self employment tax is my favorite one to pay…

@Argona0x this is amazing

my landlord raised my rent by $400 so i fed my entire lease to claude it found a clause that means he owes me $6,200 in overcharges going back 18 months his lawyer confirmed it yesterday i wasn't even mad about the increase. i just wanted to see what claude would pull from 47 pages of legal text i never actually read pasted the full lease and said "find anything that violates california rent stabilization law" it came back in 90 seconds → flagged a habitability clause tied to maintenance obligations he never fulfilled → cross-referenced AB 1482 statewide caps + local RSO limits going back to 2023 → found he applied a 6.1% increase when AB 1482 capped it at 5% + CPI (4% max under LA County RSTPO for 2024) → calculated cumulative overcharges across 18 billing cycles → cited Civil Code §1947.12 (AB 1482 penalties up to 3x overcharge for willful violations) + local RSO municipal code tying habitability breaches to withheld increases → drafted a demand letter with line-by-line breakdowns ran the clause extraction through legal-bert and it hit 92% confidence on the payment term violations sent the demand letter to his property management company on a tuesday by the following thursday his lawyer called and said "the numbers check out" total cost: one prompt and a 47-page pdf i lived in that apartment for three years and never once read past page 4 my rent increase was $400, my refund check is $6,200 i'm keeping the apartment

@upaether @DCinvestor hmm. that's why you'll have an agent to do so on your behalf.

@DCinvestor it really probably won’t though. Nobody wants to manage private keys. It will remain a niche scam that makes money for some people, sometimes. The digital art market is nice. Bankers are too.

Ethereum will be the world’s neutral global settlement layer the need for which has never been more clear in modern history and ETH will be the most important censorship-resistant programmable collateral and store of value asset on that network book it

@DallasTexasTV I'm so glad I'm too old to go out for st pattys now. That looks absolutely miserable.

Turns out mac mini models are out of stock everywhere. The Ai agent revolution is taking over. Buy stock in apple instead? lmao

@sydor_greg ya, that's lovely.

A lot of DMs yesterday on our Tuscan Leather Phenom 300 listing. Here’s another one of my favorites - espresso Praetor 600.

@SahilBloom Dude, you are a fucking animal.

For those who asked: I’m currently ~180 lbs and ~10-11% bodyfat. Current nutrition: - 225g protein - 450g carbs - 60g fats Current training: - Lift 5-6x per week - Run 6x per week (~30 miles total ish) Aiming for new PR marathon (2:53) while staying strong-ish this year.

What’s the single most underrated exercise? I’ll start: Heavy walking lunges. Full body strength, balance and stability, plus cardio at higher rep ranges.

@DCinvestor Idk. @TedPillows seems to think we’re always simply hunting liquidity clusters and a new lower low is on the other side of this pump. 🤷🏻‍♂️You think this sustains?

ETH moving up on the news that no one in the world trusts each other anymore and we need a new transparent global settlement layer in Ethereum which no one has to trust

@TedPillows Ted, the historian.

$BTC has dropped 60%+ during every mid-term election year. In 2026, Bitcoin is down 33%, which means there's one big leg down left before the bottom.

@FinFreedom414 B and it’s not even close.

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $10M net worth. Travel anywhere. Total freedom. Quiet house. Quiet holidays. Option B: Married. 3 kids. $1M net worth. Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning. Loud house. Full dinner table. Be honest, which life are you choosing?

jacob & co announced a $40,000 watch that mines bitcoin sounds like a meme. it’s not.. the watch itself is a 44mm black DLC titanium skeleton mechanical piece limited to 100 units. hand-wound movement with bitcoin-themed bridges each unit comes with a blockchain verified certificate granting you 1,000 TH/s of hash power inside GoMining’s data centers across the US, Africa, and Central Asia meaning when you buy this watch, a real miner starts running under your name. 24/7. no hardware. no electricity bill. no setup. so, > you buy the watch ($40K) > 1,000 TH/s miner activates on your GoMining account > miner runs in their global data centers (12M+ TH total capacity) > BTC rewards credited to your wallet daily > service fees (electricity + maintenance) auto-deducted > you track performance, rewards, and hash rate in real time via the app > the miner certificate is transferable. sell it on GoMining’s marketplace or transfer with the watch quick math, > 1,000 TH/s ≈ 0.0007% of total bitcoin network hash rate > estimated ~$7,000/year net BTC rewards (after fees) > ~17% annual yield on a $40K luxury asset > and the watch itself holds or appreciates in value (100 pieces, jacob & co)

@ChiTownPanthera @GrantCardone No, no we’re not. But, that’s ok. Have a nice evening.

We are talking about the exact same thing. There are people who can certainly compartmentalize productivity over happiness but for most of the country, we have to be sane in order to see our way to being productive. I believe it would be easier to love what you do rather than do what you have to and suffer in a void until happiness finds you.

I was asked if I want my kids to be happy? This is what I said what would you say?

I’m sorry you went through all that. I’ll pray for you, but we are not talking about the same things. Grant is talking about folks who have unlimited resources (his kids) not being happy without being productive. Folks who have all their monetary needs met and then some. Folks with abundance struggle to find happiness without being productive and ultimately finding purpose in conjunction w their wealth. Living in the shadow of wealth with no responsibility or providing the world value does not make happy humans. That was his point.

I’m approaching it from a fight or flight perspective. I’d rather be happy and sane than to be rich and well off. And because being productive doesn’t guarantee happiness it’s important to make sure you’re not drowning in misery while you’re looking for your purpose. Take it from a 16 year divorced woman who came into the situation with a duffle bag on my back and love and fidelity in my heart for a man I thought I’d be with forever just to be dumped for 3 women and told To leave with nothing… I was either going to throw myself into traffic because I didn’t know how to be “productive” and didn’t know what my purpose was. Or get counseling so that I could get on my feet and live myself into productivity. 16 years later I haven’t broken and I’ve found my purpose.

@ChiTownPanthera @GrantCardone you're not getting it. You're approaching it from a scarcity mindset. Being productive does NOT guarantee happiness. What grant is saying is that with abundance alone, you cannot find happiness without adding value to the world of some sort. It's party of the human psyche.

Like I said. There are people who are productive because it drives them not to be broke … they aren’t happy and because of those demands they become depressed and some commit suicide from being unhappy. I heard some dude say that you don’t get married (example) to be happy. You get married to be in a business. Be happy later. That’s bs.

As someone who grew up around plenty of trust fund kids, this is 100% true. You have to be productive in the world to be happy. Not necissarily monetarily productive, but adding SOME SORT of value to the world.

@ChiTownPanthera @GrantCardone He didn't say productivity guaranteed happiness. He said you can't be happy without it.

@GrantCardone That makes absolutely no sense. There are plenty of people who are productive and trying to jump off of a ledge. Chasing after money. I’d rather than my kids be happy, that way when they become productive they’ll have something to look forward to.
