@itzjoshuajake AI slop.

Trump failed crypto today. Our politicians failed us today. The entire industry showed up for him funded, supported, pushed for U.S. innovation and when it actually mattered, he folded to the same big banks crypto was built to replace. Let’s be honest about what just happened: Stablecoin yield was becoming real competition. Real alternatives. Real financial freedom. So they killed it. Not for “consumer protection.” Not for “risk management.” But because it threatens a system that survives on control, fees, inflation, and gatekeeping. Traditional banking doesn’t win in a free market so it rewrites the rules. And Washington just proved exactly who they work for. Meanwhile, politicians somehow outperform markets, insiders get rich, and we’re told this is all for our benefit. Short term? DeFi gets hit. Projects die. Innovation leaves the U.S. Long term? You can’t stop open-source. You can’t kill decentralization. But today was a reminder: They don’t want competition. They want control. Fuck every politician who sold out to big banks instead of protecting consumers.

@financedystop You can tell they used the absolutely cheapest materials.

He spent $1,516,000 to build this house and pool and breaks down the full cost.

@AssidiousMacro @markpinc @TimurNegru Literally no one does.

@anoethertheorem @markpinc @TimurNegru Some people enjoy that.

Someone is selling a manor estate in Burgundy with a private river, waterfalls and a natural swimming pond. 2 hours from Paris. Two buildings arranged around a courtyard, 1,700m² (18,298 sq ft) in total, 12 bedrooms, an artist's studio, stables and 7 hectares (17 acres) of land. Inside there's a music room with a piano, a library in the tower, a writing room, and a dining room built around a fireplace large enough to roast a whole animal. Herons and wild ducks live on the property year round. The river has a depth of 3 metres and you can swim in it all summer. Near Vézelay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Asking price: €1.39M ($1.6M). The French sure do know about living well. A river on your grounds, your own land to walk, swimming in summer, dinner outside. What's the French word for this kind of life?

@rajivkhaneja This entire post is just one big victim mentality, no one cares about your bullshit story anymore. You’re obviously still seeking outside validation because of how insecure this post is.

I grew up the kid of immigrant parents who scraped together enough to send me to private school. I was surrounded by kids with nice cars and ski trips. We didn’t have that kind of money. My allowance was $10 a week, and by grade 4 I was using my paper route money to trade stocks at the kitchen table with my dad. At 13 I taught myself to code. At 14 I built pollit.com, one of the internet’s first online polling tools. It blew up. Millions of polls, massive traffic, clients like MTV and The New York Times. By Grade 11 the company was doing millions in revenue and I was hiring adults while still going to high school. I needed to run ads on all that traffic to make money, but every ad server on the market was built for big companies with big budgets. A teenager couldn’t afford any of them. So I built my own. At 17 someone offered me $2.5M for everything. I said no and went back to chemistry class. That ad server became AdButler. Today it handles over 100 billion ad requests a month for companies like Costco, HP, The Home Depot, and Microsoft. It’s been named one of the Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies by the Financial Times and a Top Growing Company by the Globe and Mail. Nearly three decades in, it’s still bootstrapped, still profitable, zero outside funding, and 100% uptime since 2017. I took everything AdButler generated and kept building. I co-founded Arvita Therapeutics where we’re developing mRNA cancer therapies for people with Neurofibromatosis Type 1. I’m opening Mari, a diagnostic imaging clinic. Through DoubleBlind Capital I invest in early-stage startups and have backed more than a dozen companies across SaaS, consumer products, and healthcare. I also own restaurants, a mobile home park, and commercial real estate. I like building and buying things that generate real cash flow in the real world, not just on a screen. I’m currently renovating a waterfront home in Victoria, BC. It’s the same city I grew up in, started my first company in, and never left. Everything I’ve built has been from here. Three things 28 years of building taught me: Your first company won’t be your best idea. It will lead you to your best idea. I built a polling tool to get traffic to my website. The traffic needed ads. The ads needed a server. That server became an 8-figure company. That company now funds cancer research. You can’t connect the dots looking forward. Saying no to money is harder than making it. Turning down $2.5M at 17 felt insane. But every time I’ve chosen long-term ownership over short-term cash, it’s paid back many times over. The hardest financial skill isn’t earning money. It’s not taking it when someone puts it right in front of you. Build the machine, not the product. Products come and go. What lasts is a system that generates cash flow and lets you point it at things that matter. I built an ad server. It gave me the freedom to fund cancer therapies, open a clinic, and invest in a dozen startups. None of that happens if I sell at 17. I write about this stuff here. Follow if you’re building something.

@DallasStars @Lexus God damn, this one is going to be epic for the libtard meltdowns.

Today's attire:

@LauraLoomer It is annoying that’s why I decided not to travel until my kids are a minimum of 4 years old.

Is there anything worse than a crying baby on a plane? I wish parents would control their children. It’s so disruptive. I refuse to believe a baby cries for 10 hours. At some point this is just bad parenting, right?

@TimurNegru @grok where I can i find this exact listing.

@markpinc @TimurNegru The maintenance on this property will be hell. You basically spend the rest of your life taking care of problems on this property.

@TimurNegru Whats the catch?

@vaidyaparampara This is the new snake oil, If you have worms, you will physically see a difference in how you function day to day.

TIME TO DEWORM YOUR BODY

Respectfully, you don’t have physiognomy to pull this off and will go down as another Maxime, a character with sound ideologies but will never make it to the finish line. There needs to be a new character on the board that is building an organic movement with neck breaking momentum. We haven’t seen it yet, funny enough, the perfect person would have been Pierre, but his platform became weak and libbing out on Trump deflated his core base.

@anoethertheorem The Restoration of Canada is my #1 political priority. The hope, patriotism, & opportunity we had in the old Canada of 1967. This is my last ditch effort before I croak. This is the only relevant battle remaining - over the heart & soul of this once great nation. I’m all in!

Canada is desperate for a determined man in the Canadian Parliament like this!

@brithume We don’t care.

This is the kind of stuff Trump does that makes people not just oppose him but hate him. There was no need to say anything.

@TheRabbitHole @nikitabier Hello

Happy Friday. Testing a new feature.

@anoethertheorem @blueskykites @Abdidesignhouse @greggertruck @nerdalator @AndrewFinegan @XanderSky @LandonoftheWest @Cybertruck0001 @cybrtrkguy @kauai_renatus @JoNationLive @kneubuehl I absolutely hate the cyberwheel, but I love the wheel covers. I think the cyberwheel is the worst and ugliest wheel @Tesla ever build. @cybertruck

@thevivafrei This is what you should expect from a career politician.

I just finished Rogan‘s interview with Poilievre. Two hours and 15 minutes, and not one mention of the ostriches. Not one mention of the Ottawa trucker protest. Not one mention of the conversion therapy ban. I will be doing a review on this podcast shortly.

@pete_rizzo_ Is it really hard to just post the source of this information since you’re just rehashing it.

JUST IN: WHITE HOUSE ADMIN JUST CONFIRMED THE WHITE HOUSE HAS REACHED A DEAL ON #BITCOIN AND CRYPTO MARKET BILL "THIS IS A MAJOR MILESTONE TOWARD PASSING THE CLARITY ACT" WE ARE HEADED TO MARKUP 🚀

@DominionSoc Pierre is delusional on this stance, Canada has become such an unfriendly environment that you're not allowed to have a different opinion.

They come to Canada and they just get along?

@Sportsnet Yeh we’re not doing this anymore.

Happy Pride night in Edmonton! 🌈🏒

@davehall1289 Canucks winning the lottery would have the same euphoria as Canucks winning a Stanley Cup.

According to Frank, the biggest day in recent (all-time?) Vancouver Canucks history is May 5, 2026.
