@benjamincowen Technically, it would still be higher low.

@benjamincowen So, it's basically going back to Jan 2018. 8 years of nothing,

Ethereum is likely heading to its lower logarithmic regression trend line, which roughly aligns with the April 2025 lows.

Absolutely. Doing work you truly love changes everything — it shows in every detail. Our schools train kids to be employees for someone else, not creators for themselves. They fear AI "taking jobs" instead of seeing it as the ultimate tool to make pursuing real passion easier and more possible than ever. It's not going to be easy to shift this mindsset.

It's hard to think it's not different when: -*hit all-time high before halving* -ETFs, derivatives... -dampened volatility -retail is gone -reacts to Fed, government policy, Trump tweets -more is locked in long-term wallets, ETFs and corporate treasuries -dollars flowing into stable coins will make USDT/USDC dominance meaningless soon.

Bitcoin: An Unfortunate Pattern [Update] In this video we talk about how stablecoin dominance remains structurally bullish and discuss where we have seen similar patterns before.

@sama You need more money?

customers are increasingly asking us for certainty on capacity. as models get better, we expect that the world will be capacity-constrained for some time. we are offering discounted tokens for 1-3 year commits. (it also helps us plan, so hopefully a big win-win.)

@MarioNawfal When the US, China, and Russia are not members of the ICC, does it really matter?

🇨🇳🇺🇸 Xi told Trump that Putin "might end up regretting" invading Ukraine. Then Trump suggested the U.S., China, and Russia should "join forces" against the International Criminal Court. Two extraordinary revelations from one meeting. Xi is privately distancing from Putin's war while publicly standing by him. And Trump wants the three most powerful countries on earth to team up against the court that holds leaders accountable for war crimes. The ICC has active investigations touching all three. Russia over Ukraine. The U.S. over Afghanistan and now potentially Iran. China over Xinjiang. And the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu over Gaza, making this personal for Trump's closest ally. Of course they want it dismantled. The one institution designed to hold powerful nations accountable is suddenly the common enemy of every leader who might end up in its crosshairs. The G2 just became the G3 when it comes to making sure nobody faces consequences... Source: FT

From Grok…**Yes, there's a notable strategic overlap and explicit interest from BBBY's leadership in OPEN, which could create synergies in the "everything home" ### Business Synergies - **OPEN (Opendoor Technologies)**: Operates an iBuyer platform for buying/selling homes quickly (often cash offers), using AI for pricing, operations, and now expanding into mortgages, title services, and asset-light models under new CEO Kaz Nejatian. It handles high volumes of home transactions. - **BBBY (Bed Bath & Beyond, rebranded/revived under Beyond Inc.)**: Focuses on home furnishings, decor, organization (e.g., via acquisitions like The Container Store/Elfa, Kirkland’s, Lumber Liquidators), plus expanding into home services, installation, financing, protection products, and an "Everything Home" ecosystem. CEO Marcus Lemonis aims to serve the full home lifecycle—from buying/furnishing to maintaining and selling. **Direct Connection**: Lemonis has publicly highlighted OPEN (and Offerpad) as "very investable" and complementary. He proposed a **cash-offer marketplace** where BBBY would connect homeowners (leveraging its ~100M customer reach) with platforms like OPEN for fast sales. This would feed BBBY's retail/services/finance flywheel—e.g., new homeowners buying furnishings, staging, renovations, or financing through BBBY. Lemonis noted OPEN's attributes could enhance BBBY's home services and finance ecosystem without BBBY taking direct ownership (partnership-focused). This fits BBBY's post-bankruptcy pivot to omnichannel retail + broader home platform plays. ### Investor Angles - **Mike Alfred**: He has built a substantial long position in OPEN (started with ~210k shares at ~$6.44, added significantly on dips, up to hundreds of thousands more). He's a value-oriented investor focused on turnaround/digital infrastructure opportunities. No public evidence of a major BBBY position from recent checks, but his interest in OPEN aligns with BBBY's expressed partnership interest—especially ahead of his upcoming call with Lemonis. - **JPMorgan**: Strong bullish analyst coverage on OPEN (Overweight rating, ~$8 target in recent notes, highlighting transformation to volume-driven/AI model and profitability path). JPM also holds institutional shares in OPEN. Their positive stance on OPEN's pivot could indirectly support any BBBY-OPEN collaboration narrative. ### Potential for Connection A formal partnership (marketplace integration, co-marketing, data sharing, or cross-promotions) seems plausible given Lemonis' comments—it could drive traffic/revenue for both without heavy capex. BBBY gets home transaction volume to fuel furnishings/services; OPEN gets massive customer exposure and ecosystem support. Risks include execution (both are in turnaround mode), housing market cycles, and competition. This isn't guaranteed, but Lemonis' public comments make it more than speculative synergy—it's on the radar for BBBY's strategy. Watch for updates from the Mike Alfred/Marcus Lemonis discussion or BBBY earnings for more signals.

I have a first call in a couple days with Marcus Lemonis which was set up by one of BBBY's largest investors. Any guesses on what we will be discussing? There is no agenda yet.

Grok’s answer… Yes, my best guess is that Bitcoin is climbing the wall of worry right now—and the chart Krown posted is a textbook visual for it. The phrase “wall of worry” describes a market grinding higher despite widespread pessimism, negative headlines, or cautious sentiment. It usually happens when “smart money” (institutions, whales, ETFs) keeps buying quietly while retail stays on the sidelines or even sells into strength. Prices rise, but it feels choppy and uncertain—hence the “wall.” Krown’s 24h BTCUSD chart (from May 14, 2026) shows exactly that setup: a multi-month recovery from the March/April lows (around the $68k–$70k zone) up to the current ~$81,400–$81,500 area. You can see the price bouncing off support, moving averages starting to curl upward, and a slow grind higher after a nasty earlier downtrend. It’s not a euphoric parabolic rip—it’s a resilient climb. Here’s why the data lines up with a classic wall-of-worry rally in mid-May 2026: • Sentiment is still muted/fearful: The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has been hovering in the 34–51 range (Fear to Neutral) recently. That’s not the euphoria you’d expect at $81k after a recovery—it’s the opposite. alternative.me @bitcoinfear • Retail is largely sitting out or selling: On-chain data and analyst reports show retail traders taking profits or staying sidelined as BTC pushed through $80k, while institutions have been net buyers. Bloomberg explicitly called this a “wall of worry” rally just 10 days ago, noting individual investors have been on the sidelines during the recovery. bloomberg.com ambcrypto.com • Institutions and ETFs are the buyers: Spot Bitcoin ETFs had their strongest month of 2026 in April ($1.97B net inflows) and saw big daily spikes in early May (e.g., over $1B on May 7). Cumulative ETF inflows are now over $58B since launch. That’s structural, long-term capital supporting the price even as broader sentiment lags. benzinga.com bitbo.io This isn’t new—similar “wall of worry” commentary popped up earlier in 2026 during geopolitical noise and macro jitters—but the pattern has held as price recovered from early-year lows near $60k. Caveats (because nothing is guaranteed): Markets can always shift. We’ve seen short-term ETF outflows in the last couple days, and Bitcoin remains range-bound longer-term. A break below key supports (like the recent lows around $78k) could change the story fast. But right now, the divergence—price up, sentiment down, institutions in—fits the wall-of-worry playbook perfectly. Krown nailed the question. This slow, skeptical grind higher is exactly how these resilient rallies often play out before the next leg. What do you think—bullish setup or are you seeing something else in the chart?

is this climbing the wall of worry? Please respond. @grok

@CAgovernor Anyone want to explain AI, or maybe a computer to him?

Balancing my final budget proposal for California. Tune in tomorrow.

@SenWarren According to Grok, 90% disagree with this post. Always on the wrong side of the people.

Donald Trump thinks the U.S. Treasury is his personal piggy bank. Let's be clear: the President is trying to steal $10 BILLION of taxpayer money - before a court rules. This is a massive, unprecedented scandal. Congress must stop him. I have a bill for that.

@nobrainflip @IncomeSharks Money is always moving somewhere, you just have to dig a litter deeper, VTS is a good example….copper, silver…..

With that logic, no rising market could ever crash. There are always people “waiting for a dip” when price only goes up. The fact that so many ppl are begging for a crash is not bullish - it’s the signal that the market is insanely overcrowded and overextended. And yes, they will buy the dip. That’s exactly the point. They become the exit liquidity that absorbs the first leg down and gives sellers liquidity to unload into. Markets don’t go up forever. Every overextended move eventually needs a reset before the next leg.

housing crash will be worse than 2008

@APompliano Did anyone else buy the CRCL dip?

Most of the crypto industry is dead and never coming back. Eventually people will realize it.

@elonmusk Kinda makes me feel like I've done absolutely nothing with my life.

Beautiful machines in space

@SenWarren Perfect example of Calling the kettle black

If Jeff Bezos can drop $10 million to sponsor the Met Gala, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

@iAmHenryMascot @ns123abc Did you learn this at the Learing Day Care?

What a dumb take. How much did Zuck Or Bezos Or 99% of founders who a billionaires invest in their companies ? 0 It’s called equity! He has been working at OpenAi for 11 years Sweat equity! Also Elon was offered shares when they converted to for profit and he refused!!!!!

🚨 GREG BROCKMAN JUST CONFESSED UNDER OATH Q: You have an ownership interest in this cap profit company. Brockman: That is accurate. Q: And you invested $0 in order to acquire that interest. Correct? Brockman: That is also accurate. Q: Your ownership interest in this for-profit is valued today at more than $20 BILLION Correct? Brockman: Yes. Q: In fact, it may be closer to $30 BILLION. Correct? Brockman: I think that may be true. Yes. Brockman invested $0. Walked away with $20–30 billion. Musk donated $38 million plus the office rent. Got $0 personally. This is unjust enrichment, captured in his own testimony.

@willywoo @PeterSchiff @grok That explains his narcissistic obsession with Bitcoin.

@PeterSchiff Hey @grok what was the price when Max Keiser recommended Schiff to buy, yet Schiff didn’t by rationalising it was a shit investment just like now.

Anyone paying $78,000 to buy Bitcoin is not getting in cheap. Based on the historic price range in which Bitcoin has traded since inception, $78,000 is a very high price to pay. Just because some people paid more, that does not mean paying less than they did is a bargain.

@elonmusk Sounds like Scam Altman graduated from the Learing Center.

Scam Altman and Greg Stockman stole a charity. Full stop. Greg got tens of billions of stock for himself and Scam got dozens of OpenAI side deals with a piece of the action for himself, Y Combinator style. After this lawsuit, Scam will also be awarded tens of billions in stock directly. The fundamental question is simply this: Do you want to set legal precedent in the United States that it is ok to loot a charity? If so, you undermine all charitable giving in the United States forever. I could have started OpenAI as a for-profit corporation. Instead, I started it, funded it, recruited critical talent and taught them everything I know about how to make a startup successful FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. Then they stole the charity.

@piersmorgan I'm not sure Britian is up for the mentioned task??

If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States. Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence. King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.
