guide to a fulfilling life... go to college, get the degree, get a job, work your life away until 80 and convince yourself it was all worth it and even enjoyable to be "in the service of society" (???) p.s.: i disagree that 75 is unnaturally long, but the message still stands

the #wormpill has to be the most brutal of them all. i'm wondering what came of the guy who cured his gay with turpentine/mebendazole

@toly @vibhu @darthnalddev @CookerFlips @WhiteWhaleLabs @mert im more of a van der Waals type of guy

Dear Solana: Solana is my favorite blockchain to transact on. It is still one of my favorite assets to trade. And when price is attractive, I still think there is a good case for accumulating it. But I am less bullish on SOL’s next-cycle price targets than I was last time. Last cycle, while everyone was calling for $500+ SOL, I publicly said I planned to be out before $250. Solana’s ATH came earlier than BTC and much of the market, but that call ended up being pretty damn close. This time, unless I see a real fundamental shift, I will probably be lowering my targets. As things stand now, I would likely be out before $200 next cycle. That is not because I hate Solana. I don’t. But love is not a sound investment thesis. The reasons are pretty straightforward. Pump fun has historically made up a meaningful chunk of Solana volume, and I believe the pump (and broader memecoin casino) meta is dying. Maybe it evolves. Maybe something replaces it. But pretending that was not a significant driver of activity feels dishonest. Solana DeFi has also taken a serious hit. A lot of Solana DeFi was tied into Drift, and the damage there impacted dozens of protocols. It hurt the broader perception of Solana DeFi. Then there is the capital markets side. A lot of Solana DATs were formed at some of the worst possible price points, then unwound, restructured, or de-risked at some of the worst possible price points. CT forgets everything in 72 hours but institutional capital does not. If a bunch of institutions got dragged into Solana exposure near the highs, then unwound for losses, that leaves a mark. It does not mean they will never touch SOL again. But it does mean the next wave of institutional appetite may not be as easy, clean, or deep as people assume. Then there is the cultural layer. Solana feels disjointed right now. Some of the most prominent Solana voices have spent an incredible amount of time relentlessly shilling an entirely different blockchain. Yes, ZEC is it's own Layer 1. It does not exactly scream focus on Solana itself. It reads as devs thinking their bag is cooked and so they start pumping their next bag. Only now does there finally seem to be real traction around addressing the inflation issue, which should have been more meaningfully a long time ago. But what really read as desperation to me was the @PhoenixTrade push. That moment actually influenced my vision more than any of the others. Look, I have traded over $5B in perps across various protocols. I have tested or used almost every “perp DEX” worth testing. And Phoenix is about as basic as it gets. Yes, the engineering under the hood is interesting. Fine. Mad respect to the builders. But traders do not ultimately care about engineering. They care about three things: Does it work? Can I make money there? Is it safe? And right now, the best Solana-adjacent perps venue is @pacifica_fi . I say Solana-adjacent because it is mostly the stables on-ramp and Solana TVL. It is not generating massive activity for the Solana network itself. And even Pacifica has already talked about building its own L1. (A decision I'm skeptical about, even as a fan) My exact reaction to the huge marketing push on one of the most basic perp dexs I've ever traded on was: they are so very desperate for something to gain traction on Solana it actually scares me. Solana talks a lot about what it wants to be when it grows up. And to be clear, the vision is compelling. The ambition is real. The talent is definitely real. But ambition is not maturity. Every kid wants to be a doctor, an astronaut, or a superhero when they grow up. I care more about what something actually is than what it says it wants to become. So what is my favorite new blockchain? Solana. Because you can still love something and still be rational about it. 🫡 From the depths — The White Whale 🐋

@BullTheoryio life changing money vs life changing money. who the fuck cares lol

Peter Thiel invested $500,000 in Facebook in 2004 for an early 10% stake, later selling it for about $1 BILLION. That stake would be worth roughly $150 BILLION today.

@ThatEricAlper share with my parents and retire us all

If you won a ton of money and never had to work again, what would you do first?

i get both points. assuming a certain retention rate, the more you read, the more you retain. but this rate might not be fixed, and after a certain point you get diminishing returns. my emphasis would be on *what* is being read---infinitely more valuable than a certain arbitrary volume

@solfagz @realpurus If you’re reading anything for 20+ hours a week I think it might be hard to retain most of it

@Bitcoin_Teddy all cool brodie but i want them to work 0 days a week if possible :)

🇺🇸 Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, said it out loud: Your kids will work 3.5 days a week. Live to 100. AI is going to cure cancer, stop car crashes, make new materials, save lives. "Life will be better." He's not a tech bro dreaming out loud. This man runs the money.

@realpurus reading from a screen exists

@solfagz I like him but he's retarded noone is reading 40h/week not even people in academia, noone has the actual time for it

at 100 likes i will write an article on solving a JUICY & THICC mechanics problem in both the newtonian the lagrangian formalism. i got it from a friend from an unknown russian textbook, so you know it's gonna be pure degeneracy stay tuned :)
