We created a bot that automatically farms Arbitrages between... Polymarket Opinion in just 5 days: 📈 Est. +EV: +$399.29 ❇️ Average Trade ROI: ~9.69% Volume Generated: ~$4,100 Trades Executed: 58 Win Rate: 81% Here is how it works: 1. Matching markets -> The bot finds identical markets between Polymarket & Opinion 2. Watch the odds -> When the odds are different between the two identical markets, the next phase is triggered 3. Arbitrage Math -> The bot calculates how much can be bought based off available liquidity, spread & fees, as well as our parameters for the arbitrages we want to trade 4. Risk Analysis -> The bot conducts risk analysis of the arbitrage, as well as validation, based of what we know about how these platforms work 5. Execute -> The bot sends buy orders to both exchanges simultaneously to capture the arbitrage 6. Validate -> The order is verified, if it failed it will retry if liquidity is still available, if not it will liquidate the open position. The end result? Consistent profit The limitations? Infrastructure The biggest 'bottleneck' that we are faced with right now is the unreliability of Opinions websocket data feeds. Many orderbook updates are missing, causing stale local book state, which sends false arbitrage signals A problem that can only be solved with some temporary latency-introducing pre-bid validationsshow more

10 TRUMP POSITIONS NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. MOST OF... THEM CONTRADICT HIS OWN POLICIES!!! Everyone covers the Nvidia and Boeing. Nobody reads past them. We went through the filings properly. First, for scale. Joe Biden made 13 stock trades in his entire presidency. Trump's 2025 annual disclosure lists 21,235 transactions. That is nearly as many as the entire rest of the Executive Branch filed in the same period, across 8 separate accounts. His own first term, in 2017, had 86. Now here are the ones nobody covers. 1️⃣ Invitation Homes He signed an executive order to stop large institutional investors from competing with regular families for single family homes. His accounts bought $250,000 to $500,000 of Invitation Homes, one of the largest institutional owners of single family rental homes in America. The stock sold off when those announcements landed. He owns the exact thing the policy targets. 2️⃣ Coupang 18 separate trades in a South Korean e-commerce company between October 2025 and May 2026. Filings suggest he may still hold up to around $130,000. All of it during active trade friction with Korea and a data breach investigation by Korean regulators. 3️⃣ Toyota A Japanese automaker, in a portfolio belonging to the president tariffing foreign vehicles and demanding domestic production. 4️⃣ Procter & Gamble Enormous global supply chain, heavily exposed to imported materials and packaging. Tariffs raise their input costs directly. He owns it anyway. 5️⃣ Carvana Bought $250,000 to $500,000 on January 6, 2026. Online used car retailer. Tariffs on imported parts and vehicles push costs up across the entire auto market. 6️⃣ Axon Enterprise This is the timeline that should get more attention than it does. February 10, the accounts buy $1 million to $5 million of Axon. February 24, fourteen days later, ICE posts a solicitation for a five year, $220 million Taser contract. Roughly 17,800 units. The solicitation never names Axon. The technical specs match their Taser 10 almost exactly, and Axon holds around 90% of the US Taser market. 7️⃣ GEO Group and CoreCivic The two largest private prison operators in the country, both directly exposed to detention capacity. Held while running the largest immigration enforcement expansion in modern history. 8️⃣ Blue Owl Capital A business development company yielding 10 to 12%, lending to middle market businesses. Then he signed an executive order easing the rules so 401k money can flow into private equity and private credit. Sign the order. Collect the dividend. 9️⃣ PulteGroup Multiple purchases through late 2025 in one of America's largest homebuilders. Bill Pulte, grandson of the founder, was nominated to run the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Family name on the company. Family name on the regulator. 🔟 Palantir Everyone knows he praised it publicly. Fewer people know that in the same quarter, his accounts bought $200,000 to $680,000 of it and sold between $1 million and $5 million. He was a net seller of the stock he was promoting. So what is the pattern? ➡️ Some holdings benefit enormously from his policies. Prisons, private credit, defense, homebuilders. ➡️ Some are actively damaged by them. Toyota, P&G, Carvana, Coupang. ➡️ And at least one, Invitation Homes, is the specific business his own executive order was written to restrict. That last category is the interesting one, because it argues against the simple version of this story. If someone were deliberately trading policy, they would not be long the companies their own tariffs hurt. The White House position has never changed. The accounts are managed independently by third party institutions with sole authority over investment decisions. Maybe. But 21,235 transactions in one year across 8 accounts, in dozens of companies regulated by the government he runs, is not a normal situation for anyone to be in. Regardless of who is pressing the buttons.show more

🚨 ANNOUNCING THE ESTATEX PROPERTY OTC DESK — COMING... Q2 🚨 Hello EstateX Family, Over the past week, we’ve hinted at an exciting new business pillar for EstateX that integrates properties and enhances utility inflow into $ESX, driving positive results for your investment. Today, we’re proud to officially introduce the EstateX OTC Desk. What is the EstateX OTC Desk? Our Over-the-Counter (OTC) Desk is a private trading service designed for investors to buy or sell significant real estate assets directly with us—privately, securely, and efficiently. This opens a premium opportunity for large (crypto) investors to seamlessly convert business or crypto gains into fiat and real estate without market slippage or unnecessary friction. It strengthens our core business model, making it significantly easier for large inflows of USDT to enter the ESX ecosystem. The OTC Desk focuses on offramping crypto and fiat into wholesale and quarter fractionalized buying (from 25% ownership and up). Two Major Products Benefiting from Our OTC Capability: 1️⃣ Wholesale & Fractionalized Property Investments. Backed by industry leaders like Steve Craggs (CEO, REMAX England & Wales) and Scott Keller (Deputy CEO, REMAX Dubai & Board Member, REMAX UAE), we’re enabling wholesale and fractionalized property investments in the UAE. Through fiat transactions, UAE properties can legally be co-owned by up to four individuals. However, our OTC Desk will allow investors to purchase property using USDT, as we will internally manage the asset swap into fiat to complete the deal. 💻 Smaller fractionalized investments remain available via LaunchX. 2️⃣ Streamlined Crypto Real Estate Transactions with AI Meet our upcoming AI Agent – Homie 🤖. Homie will simplify large-scale buying and selling wholesale properties with USDT. Our OTC desk will facilitate the swap process of USDT to FIAT to complete the transaction. ✨ More details to come! Why It Matters for $ESX Utility 🔥 Transaction fees from the OTC Desk will flow directly back into ESX, reinforcing utility and creating a new revenue stream for our payment/utility token. ✅ Increased accessibility ✅ More inflows into $ESX ✅ Expanded use case ✅ New income stream Within our network, several crypto whales are already eager to offramp directly into exclusive real estate investments. From day one, this unlocks potential for millions in property volume—immediately validating $ESX utility, accelerating inflows, and directly supporting your investment. Through the EstateX OTC Desk, we aim to become the go-to property investment platform for high-net-worth crypto investors—allowing them to offramp directly into exclusive real estate deals unavailable to the general public. Financial benefits remain intact: ✅ Discounts ✅ Upfront paid rent ✅ High yields And thanks to our partnerships with key figures like Scott Keller and Steve Craggs, we offer exclusive, high-yield opportunities with VIP-only discounts. 🚀 What’s Next? 👉 This does not change our original model. We’re still full speed ahead with our U.S. and EU retail launches. 👉 The EstateX OTC Desk is expected to go live in Q2—another significant milestone for $ESX and our investors. 👉 A waiting list will be shared soon for those interested in accessing the OTC Desk. Join our telegram: Exciting times ahead!show more

I am the Under Secretary for Strategic Resource Integration.... We sit inside the Executive Office of the President. You won't find us on an org chart. We requested it that way. You think an office like mine spins up in a crisis. We've been open since January. Venezuela wasn't a war. Venezuela was the beta. Maduro proved the model the morning we took delivery of him. The President called it "working out brilliantly for both." He's right. It works brilliantly for both of us, and the customer will come around to the "both" on their own time. Kharg Island is the rollout. A third the size of Manhattan, and 90 percent of Iran's crude runs through it. 2 million barrels a day, one valve. I have prayed my whole career for a country that legible. 53 billion in revenue. 11 percent of their GDP. All of it funneling through a rock you could walk across before lunch. I kept the Venezuela playbook. I changed the classification banner and let find-and-replace do Caracas to Tehran. That was the plan. That was the whole plan. Page 14 still says Caracas. No one on the distribution list has ever reached page 14. They initial page 1. Page 1 is projected revenue. It goes up and to the right, the only direction this town can read. The Energy Secretary testified he was "unaware." Under oath, to Congress, the man who runs American energy. Good. He was never read into the compartment. The fewer names on the account, the cleaner the account. He runs the department. He does not run this. We don't say invasion. We say onboarding. Every onboarding has friction. The Marines off the coast are not an occupying force. They're field engagement. Iran said an invasion of its islands would "shatter all restraint." I logged it as customer feedback and filed it. The file is full. Engaged customers submit the most feedback. It's the quiet ones who churn. And Iran can't churn. That's the part I'm proudest of. We built the account with no exit. No competitor to switch to. We are the market, and the market is now total. Total is my word. I workshopped it. "Seize" scares people. "Total control of their markets" tests at 71, because nobody pictures a kid from Ohio on a beach when you say markets. We moved 22 tankers through Hormuz at night with the lights off. The President said he wanted to announce it so badly it hurt, and he held it a month anyway. That is the most discipline this administration has ever shown. 100 million barrels, he said. The fact-checkers say the math doesn't hold. They're junior. The number was never the deliverable. The number is the soft launch. He said he loves the inflation. People clutched their receipts. 90 a barrel instead of 250 is the discount, and 250 is a price I invented so this one would feel like mercy. How long will we be there? The President answered that. "We had to be there for a while." A while is my favorite contract length. It renews on its own. No court can find the end date. He wondered out loud whether America has the stomach for it. I don't need the country's stomach. I need its signature on page 1. He called the people who object stupid. I'd defend them. They're not stupid. They just read to page 14. Last thing. Annex C. The out-year targets. 3 more, redacted, marked pre-decisional. I can't tell you which 3. Total control of their markets. Nobody in that room asked which market. The crude still sails east, to China, the same as yesterday. We don't own the oil. We own the valve, the fear, and the word "total." That was always the only product.show more

‡ Brant – Fast, Expensive, and Worrying In a... recent 2yo MSW race at Santa Anita, Brant, a $3m OBS March sales purchase, made a winning debut for his high-profile connections. Sent off at odds of 4/5, he tracked the pace before taking command on the turn, and drew off to win by 5 1/4 lengths. He recorded a very fast raw time, and a 101 Beyer figure. His high auction price was due largely to his having breezed an eighth of a mile in :09 3/5 at OBS. In the wake of the bidding, Amr Zedan, who purchased the colt on the recommendation of his trainer, Bob Baffert, and bloodstock agent Donato Lanni, was quoted in TDN as saying: "These horses are difficult to come by. He ticked all the boxes. He was a very precocious Gun Runner with a great pedigree. And more importantly, if you have someone like Mr. [Bob] Baffert in your corner, that gives you the courage and the guts to just go after quality. And you'll know they are in the best hands to turn them into champions. This one is for the team: Donato and obviously Bob and his ability to turn them into champions. So if you have the great team, the great training, the rest is easy. Was he pricey? Yes. But quality dictates price. So I never hesitated.” The hyperbole, and boilerplate optimism, are understandable, as even owners with very deep pockets prefer not to dwell on their inevitably long lists of expensive failures. But Zedan and their team have also enjoyed a number of high-profile successes, including Taiba, another Gun Runner colt, which won the Santa Anita Derby and the Malibu, both Grade I, before being retired to stud. Lanni, who has signed for at least some of Zedan's other good horses, was quoted as saying: "This is what the boss [Baffert] wanted and what Amr wanted. Gun Runner is a tremendous stallion and he worked really good and galloped out good. He did everything you want one to do.” Again, boilerplate, and if one were to take the reactions of the owner and agent at face value, it would be easy to arrive at the conclusion that the horse had no faults. But that would be naïve. So, let's first take a look at Brant's pedigree. Gun Runner is a "top" sire, and well-capable of getting high-class runners. It's a bit too early to fully judge him as a source of durability, but excluding his current crop of 2yos, his runners are only averaging 10 career starts. That number will rise, but likely not enough to reach, let alone exceed the contemporary industry average of ~15. In other words, though he himself raced 19 times, and won his swan song (the Pegasus World Cup) at five, there is no evidence to suggest that he is likely to eventually prove to be a particular source of durability. Brant's dam, Tynan, raced 13 times, and he is her first registered foal. His second dam, Pappascat, has produced at least five foals to have raced, and while only one has reached 20 starts, four of the five raced at least 12 times, which by today's degraded standards, isn't so bad. The fact that the coat color inherited by Brant, and his dam, can be traced to a notably unsound influence, Unbridled's Song, may or may not be meaningful. But I wouldn't ignore it as a potentially worrying connection. Brant's dam-sire, Liam’s Map, was lightly raced himself, and both his sire (US) and dam have poor records in terms of durability. As a sire, he has thus far produced numbers similar to Gun Runner. So while Brant's first two dams promise more than many that I have come across in similar assessments, and his sire displayed durability on the track, his overall pedigree suggests average durability at best. And what about the word that Mr. Zedan used twice in the above quote – "quality"? Well, Curlin is a quality sire, but in terms of bottom-line production, it leaves a lot to be desired. That's not to say that there are no good runners to be found, in fact the closely related Pappacap, under Brant's second-dam, was a Gr. III winner, and twice Grade I placed. However, through Brant's first six dams at least, I believe there to be just a single Grade I winner, Al Qasr, a Champion stayer in Peru, which appears under his fourth-dam. That is not, by any reasonable definition, a strong bottom-line, although it is fair to say that Brant's first dam is unproven. *** What might be learned from Brant's debut race? Everyone can see that he ran fast, and was much the best of that field, but I would say that there were some nuanced aspects of his performance that were both interesting, and worrying. Those nuances relate to his action, as viewed both through the pan shot, and head-on. Watching the basic (pan) view, Brant appears to display some "knee action". It isn't extreme, but also isn't the type of action that ideally suits dirt runners, and I wouldn't say that the colt appears totally comfortable. Here's a brief, related post on knee action, for reference: Then, we have the (embedded) head-on view, in which Brant displays seriously distorted action in his near-fore (left front leg; right when viewed head-on). It's a fairly extreme example of what is called "winging", and for a number of reasons, does not bode well for durability. Such action is never desirable, and is typically related to certain foreleg conformation flaws, which may include an offset knee, and/or toeing in or out, etc. Note also that under typical American racing conditions (i.e. tightly turning, left-handed tracks), the left front leg is subjected to the greatest torque, which amplifies the potential for injury. It should go without saying that there are occasional anomalies, horses with poor action that remain sound despite such flaws. But they are the exceptions, and it is not uncommon to find abbreviated careers associated with such action. For further reference, here is a link to a closely related post that I wrote after a filly named Amor Fati broke her maiden in eye-catching style in February of 2024. She has made just one further start, and hasn't recorded a work over the past 15 months. What's interesting about Brant is that there are two separate issues relating to his action, and that the some obvious mitigating steps that could have been, or should be taken, in efforts to keep him sound, were not, and are unlikely to ever be taken. First, with regard to his knee action, keep in mind that it is a characteristic that is more typically associated with turf horses. And guess what? Brant's dam was a turf horse. His second-dam was also at her best on turf, and was Gr. II placed on that surface. Also, in some respects, he physically resembles that female line more than his sire. Of course no one who spends millions on a horse that breezed exceptionally fast at a 2yo sale would be thinking "turf", given that the commercial market, and stakes schedules greatly favor dirt runners. But at the same time, it would be a mistake to assume that a fast breeze at OBS necessarily indicates that a given horse will be best suited to dirt. I say that partly because the OBS track features an all-weather surface called "Safetrack", which is far from being identical to dirt racing surfaces. While countless horses have gone through those sales and excelled on dirt, it should never been taken for granted that it will be a preference. And to further flesh out the point, take a look at Brant's breeze video through this link (his pedigree page can also be seen): Despite being rushed to cover a furlong much faster than he ever will again, I would say that he looks smoother, and displays slightly less knee action than in his recent debut race. Why? Could it be, perhaps, because he would prove more comfortable on turf and/or synthetic tracks, than dirt surfaces? Given how he ran first out, this is purely an academic point, as there is virtually no chance that his connections would consider switching surfaces, unless his form on dirt were to deteriorate badly. The second, more important point, relates to Brant's distorted action. I can't find a head-on conformation photo of the colt, but would be very surprised if he does not display flaws in his near-fore. Even in the very unlikely event that the leg were to appear correct, such distorted action would have been on display at the sale, as well as in pre-training at Eddie Woods' farm. And it defies belief that experienced horsemen who were prepared to purchase an extremely expensive horse for an important client would not have covered that base. Which in turn begs two important questions. First, why recommend the purchase of a very expensive horse, no matter how fast, that has yet to race, and displays such distorted action? Secondly, why choose to give such a horse to a trainer whose style and history suggest that injury risk would likely be amplified, rather than mitigated? The answers to those questions help to illuminate why the breed-to-sell paradigm is so insidious. As long as breeders and stud farms are willing to overpay for stallion prospects, and turn blind eyes to conformation defects, distorted action, lack of durability, and modest female families, the connections of horses like Brant need only hope that they hold together long enough to win one or two big races, enabling them cash in. These are the number of career starts made by Zedan's previous best (and expensive) male runners: 9 Arabian Lion 6 Arabian Knight 9 Muth 10 Medina Spirit 11 Hejazi And as long as the AGSC (American Graded Stakes Committee) continues to enable the paradigm through its dishonest KY Derby "prep" Grade I designations, the ultimately damaging feedback loop will likely continue. The answer to the second question is closely entwined, and should be obvious. For all of his faults as a trainer, Baffert has long produced results in stakes races that lead to valuable stud careers, so owners who wish to play the breed-to-sell game consider him to be a logical choice. Of course Baffert and Zedan are hardly alone in supporting the dubious paradigm. But that a horse like Brant could bring millions at a sale, and be given to a trainer who trains very hard, and has compiled a very poor safety record, underscores the extreme degree to which the value of durability has been marginalized by the industry. One final note, and it's a genuine qualification that I always make when producing this type of post, I hope that Brant will enjoy a long, injury-free career. But if I were a betting man...show more

The “I never wanted any of this to be... public or content” Lie, A Timeline I never wanted any of this to come out. Except I actually mean that. It’s embarrassing, it’s trashy, and it’s the opposite of how I want to present myself publicly. I stayed silent for months while lie after lie was spun about me behind the scenes because I didn’t want to air private, messy moments from a relationship I genuinely cared about. I stayed silent out of fear, because I was told no one would believe me because he would be blindly believed on his large platform. In one of our very last conversations before I blocked him everywhere mid-October, he threatened to do a show on me, contact my employer, and “turn me into the next Lindsey”. Why? Because I didn’t want to continue apologizing to him for the 300th time about venting to someone I thought was a friend. I stayed silent because of these threats. But after Wednesday, after Chelsea posted the private video Aidan gave her, (the same one he threatened me with directly back on 10/2), and after the gaslighting, I don’t have a choice anymore. So here is the timeline. Here are the receipts. Here is what actually happened. September-October 2025- I Stayed Silent Through Months of Smear Campaigns For months, several creators repeated the same false narrative that “Aidan never said a bad word about Meredith.” Jess. Glarer. Auntie Deb. Kim. Ray from Dallas. Others. Meanwhile, Aidan was: • Badmouthing me privately and encouraging others to do so publicly, • Texting Joe “Flipperhead” entire paragraphs trashing me, • Aidan knew Joe would leak them (and even bragged on a stream that he did exactly that so he’d leak them), • Sending Jess Machado after me for months on her large platform, • Directing people behind the scenes to paint me as a villain. • Sending random people who supported me DMs to change their mind (yes Aidan, not everyone is fooled by your bullshit and they came right to me). I ignored all of it. I said nothing. I stayed silent through daily lies because I didn’t want to call more attention to it or face Aidan’s wrath. November 2025 -The Rumors About “March 4” and Joe Flipperhead Flips to Team Aidan Aidan texted Joe his entire made-up version weeks ago. Joe circulated those texts on purpose. Joe threatened me with posting a video montage of mine and Aidan’s private texts. Joe is a pussy so he eventually had Kristy post it for him. Creators discussed it publicly without me ever responding. I STILL didn’t defend myself. November 26-27, 2025- Ratchet Chelsea: The Full 48 Hour Meltdown 11/26/25— The Unprovoked Attack & The March 4 Video On Tuesday night, Chelsea came out of nowhere and launched herself straight at me, accusing me of all kinds of conspiracies from harassment to the horrific crime of sending a friend request, which is explained in vivid detail in the below post (she’s since gone somewhat viral, love this for her!) She spent the next 24 hours thoroughly embarrassing herself and the moment anyone challenged her story even slightly, she did what she always does: she imploded. Her accusations spiraled into her posting the March 4 video. On 11/26/25 at 11:08 PM, Chelsea posted the first clip–a blanket, context-less snippet of me drunk saying something I immediately apologized for the next morning. At 11:50 PM, I responded because at that point, I had no choice. 11/27/25— The 9-Minute Backpedal Then on Thanksgiving, Aidan tried to save face by posting that he “didn’t want the video to be public.” And like clockwork, nine minutes later, Chelsea came charging into the comments like a Temu-sponsored bat out of hell, scrambling to apologize, trying to rewrite reality so it looked like he didn’t send her to do it. It was panicked, sloppy damage control. An amateur quality cover-up attempt that only made it more obvious how coordinated this all was. She wasn’t apologizing because she grew a conscience. She was apologizing because she got caught doing exactly what she’d been primed to do. I wonder if Aidan called her “you should’ve waited at least 20 minutes, dumbass!!!”. Not too bright that Chelsea. I can only imagine the regrets he must have for utilizing someone with the IQ of a pencil to do his dirty work. The Coordination Between Aidan & Chelsea Is Obvious Chelsea had virtually NO followers Wednesday morning. Aidan was one of the first. We’re supposed to believe someone with 150k followers just stumbled on an account that starts posting HIS private messages and HIS private videos? Kk. Aidan commented on her posts that same day, clearly encouraging it, continuing to this day, all while pretending he's not directing it. Kk. She confirmed in my DMs back on 11/6 that she and Aidan were aligned. And she literally wrote at 4:04 AM that she had “proof,” videos & screenshots she would release if I didn’t “stop calling” her, calls she still hasn’t produced a single shred of proof of. Then yesterday within 9 minutes of his post, she writes: “Sorry for going rogue, Aidan, I hope you don’t hate my guts.” Going rogue? From WHAT? Who gave you the material in the first place? The coordination is obvious to anyone with functioning brain cells. The “I never wanted this public” lie Aidan’s post yesterday claimed he “never wanted this to be public.” He’s been threatening me for months behind the scenes to post the infamous video. To do a show on me. To send things to others to weaponize against me. If this were true, why did he instruct Chelsea to post it? Why did he share it with Jess Machado to threaten me with for the last month? Why did he share it with Joe Flipperhead, and God knows who else? If he didn’t want it public, he wouldn’t have shared it with anyone, let alone the girl I caught him cheating with. The timeline is clear– Chelsea posted a video at 11:08 pm on Thanksgiving Eve, I responded at 11:50 out of self defense. He leaked first. He escalated first. He weaponized it first. Trying to rewrite that now is gaslighting, pure and simple. The “Meredith accused him of abuse” narrative is FALSE My actions tell the truth: • I never went to police. • I never filed anything. • I never told anyone he hit me. • I never repeated it. • I apologized the next day. • We stayed together for FOUR more months after that night. • He called me 100+ times some days, even indicating he’d end his life if we broke up. If he believed I was “dangerous,” his actions would have said that. They didn’t. The only reason this is public now is because HE leaked it. Actions > drunk slurred words said because a camera was shoved in my face when I asked him repeatedly to stop filming and to leave. The Wilbur Theatre Rumors—Let’s get petty for a second. This is another topic I’m cringing at discussing but we can thank Aidan for since he shared our sexual messages with Joe Flipperhead. And since some people (Auntie Deb, sweetie, this means you) insist on pushing their Dollar Store fan-fiction about the Wilbur Theatre night, let’s actually walk through what happened, using facts instead of whatever drug-induced hallucinations you’ve been spinning this week. The rumor goes like this- I was “mad at Aidan because we didn’t hook up,” and to “prove” it, they trot out a cherry-picked text where I said I wanted to hook up, he didn’t answer, and the next morning I said I was drunk and sorry. And somehow this has been spun into me being desperate, obsessed, or pining like a background character in a teenage soap opera. Adorable. Wrong, but adorable. Here’s the real plot twist-Aidan and I had already been together literally two days earlier, and shocker-that was initiated by him, not me. I didn’t just “show up at the Wilbur”. He invited me to come to the after party at Encore knowing I had a wedding earlier in the night. I wanted to see my friends there who I actually met to go with. This wasn’t a surprise, it was planned ahead of time. The “I was drunk, sorry” message wasn’t heartbreak. It wasn’t longing. It was me politely tapping the brakes because I didn’t even want to entertain whatever bad path it could lead us back down. And then? He texted me asking about my brother’s wedding, how I am, etc. I ignored him for a full week. Until I had no choice but to speak to him about MereNeill. That silence, from me, is what triggered his latest meltdown. Not mine. His. So no, Auntie Deb, your version isn’t “a different perspective.” It’s just wrong. Like wildly, hilariously, not-even-in-the-ballpark wrong. But sure, keep spinning fanfic if it makes your livestreams feel more exciting. I realize it’s probably been awhile since you’ve had any action since you’ve let yourself go so badly, so you live vicariously through others. Recap For MONTHS I ignored: • the texts he sent Joe to leak • the smear campaign • the creators parroting lies • the behind-the-scenes messages • the insinuations I hacked him and even shared revenge porn • the constant coordinated attacks • the threats of “turning me into the next Lindsey” • his warning that everyone would believe him because of his platform • the threats to contact my employer I didn’t clap back, didn’t retaliate, didn’t respond. But Wednesday, when Chelsea dumped the video he gave her, the same video she threatened weeks ago to drop, AND he posted pretending he didn’t want this all out? That was the line. They chose the nuclear option. And last night's gaslighting grift was just the icing on the cake. Now I’m responding with facts in pure self-defense. Conclusion/Message for Temu Storm This entire mess could have stayed private. I wanted it to stay private. But when someone leaks your private moments, lies about your intentions, weaponizes your past, and coordinates an online attack, you either let the false narrative stand or you defend yourself. I’m choosing to defend myself with receipts, not gossip. With timelines, not “he said.” With evidence, not weaponized drunk clips. And then there’s Aidan’s favorite delusion. The claim that I was ‘working with Karen behind the scenes’ or ‘conspiring with her to get him in trouble for the recording.’ That could not be further from the truth. I didn’t even know he had recorded her until after she already knew about it herself. I wasn’t working with her, plotting with her, or communicating with her about it. She and I have always been friendly, but we didn’t even discuss the recording until it started leaking and Joe Flipperhead went feral on Twitter. Meanwhile, Aidan spent weeks screaming at me, accusing me of being some kind of secret double agent, like he was trying to create the betrayal he was terrified of. Almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. And here’s the reality: in the last few weeks, after he’s gone fully scorched earth on me, I have talked to her, and I support her 100%. The things he’s done to her over the past couple years, and the way he twisted it all for his followers, is the exact same manipulation I lived through. I’m not going into her details because that’s her story to tell… but let’s just say I have a feeling you’ll be hearing it sooner rather than later. The lie that Aidan never wanted this to be public is just laughable at this point. Who are we kidding? He's been foaming at the mouth for months to make this content where he can play the victim, as usual. And since this week has apparently become “Let’s All Fixate on Meredith Week,” let me address the content-creator sideshow, too. Some of you are strangers, while some I actually considered my friends. It’s shocking but not shocking how quickly you all flip a switch and follow your captain’s orders. Ray from Dallas spent his Sunday foaming at the mouth in a hostile little video about me, all bark, no substance. I saw it. I’m not intimidated. Mostly, I’m embarrassed for you. Then there’s Will, who’s gone on multiple streams calling me “crazy” and pretending he’s scared of me, despite me being nothing but nice to him. Why? Because he thinks I was the first one to tell Karen he heard the recording, which he absolutely did (unless Aidan is lying about who he played it for, but we know he’s actually telling the truth on this for once). She was informed of it the very next day, which is why she called you and you know this. This was two full days before I was even aware of a call at all. Will, for someone with your track record, maybe sit the “women are dangerous” narrative out. You’re not fooling anyone. I’m staring at 15 pages of police reports and no, it’s not all “things you’ve owned up for in the past”. You know this. Again, I’d take a very large seat here. And my personal favorite-Auntie Deb, who decided to spice up his Spaces on Thanksgiving by accusing me of distributing revenge p*rn with zero evidence, zero screenshots, zero anything. Accusing me of killing a turtle yesterday. A completely fabricated felony tossed around like it’s gossip hour at the bingo hall. Considering your own professional history, James, I’d hope you of all people would understand how catastrophic false accusations can be, but apparently not. I wonder if you’ll have that same enthusiasm when the topic is you. TBD. I’ll wait for that retraction about revenge p*rn, animal abuse, etc. Ball’s in your court hun. And of course, there’s Jessica Machado, who’s been grinding this axe for months like it’s her full-time personality. Hos long did you cry when Chelsea beat you to the punch with that video? Don’t worry hun, there’s more but she didn’t post it because it’s not great for your fairytale. Since you reported my last post, I'll leave the rest up for your imagination. You’ve been so obsessed with me for so long that you can’t even keep your own narratives straight anymore. I love this so much for you. Let me be crystal clear–I am done being all of your punching bag. You love to spin this narrative that I’m this dangerous person. You’d think you’d lay off from constantly f*cking with me if you truly believed that. I would genuinely love for this nonsense to stop. But that requires ALL of you to stop manufacturing drama, stop lying, and stop weaponizing made-up crimes for clicks. And if they want to keep going? I’ve got plenty of content for many seasons to come.show more

Nothing is hidden. You can study it, copy it, recreate it or use it as the starting point for your own projects. Full prompt: "SCENE CONTEXT One continuous shot. The camera faces down the wrecked, burning deck toward the BOW of the ship — and Eduardo, blown off the raised STERN DECK behind the camera by a blast, comes FLYING IN from ABOVE AND BEHIND — leaping off the second level, sailing in over the lens on a forward arc, through raining seawater — slams onto the MAIN deck one level below, AHEAD of the camera, and rolls through a tumbling somersault, momentum carrying him toward the bow. Two crewmen flee past him — one leaps overboard. Eduardo fights his way toward the bow under incoming fire: an explosion bursts on his LEFT — he dodges away and is knocked down; he struggles back to his feet — a second explosion on his RIGHT — he ducks and shields behind debris; then he breaks into a sprint for the bow — the camera sweeps around ahead of him and settles OFF THE BOW, FRONTAL: he leaps over the bow rail TOWARD the camera, the ship filling the background behind him — and THE INSTANT he clears the rail, a COLOSSAL explosion consumes the ship behind him: the blast wall catches him MID-AIR and he VANISHES inside it — he never escapes. The cloud overtakes the camera; the frame floods to 100% smoke and dust. The shot ENDS inside the dust: no transition, no reveal — it holds to the end. ACTIVE REFERENCES >> — lean pirate captain, dark curly hair falling free from under a dusty mustard-yellow cloth bandana, a small white shark tooth pinned to the front of the bandana above his temple, thin moustache, gold hoop earrings, cream linen shirt under a worn brown leather waistcoat, cloth sash and leather belts. 100% matches the reference; the man fighting down the deck toward the bow. >> — Eduardo's galleon: pale square sails, tall wooden sterncastle. 100% matches the reference; controls the ship's exterior — sails, masts, rigging and hull; already battle-damaged in this shot — burst bulwark, smoldering rigging, debris on the deck. >> — the deck of the same galleon seen FROM THE RAISED STERN DECK LOOKING FORWARD TOWARD THE BOW: the great wheel and brass compass binnacle in the near foreground, an ornate lantern post, a carved balustrade, a staircase descending to the long MAIN deck — weathered planking, small cannons along both rails, black gratings, coiled ropes, the mainmast amidships, the forecastle and bow in the far depth, open sea on both sides. 100% matches the reference; controls the full on-deck geography, set dressing AND the shot's base viewing direction — from the stern toward the bow. >> — calm bright sea, glittering sun path, hazy horizon. Controls water and sky atmosphere only. >> — weathered pirate crewmen (bandanas, rough shirts, vests). 100% match the reference; TWO of them appear early in the shot, fleeing — one leaps overboard. LOCATION MAP The deck of >> aboard >> on >> — the raised stern deck (wheel, binnacle, balustrade) at the BACK, the staircase down, the long main deck with cannons, gratings and the mainmast running FORWARD to the distant BOW, exactly as on the reference — the main deck now a wrecked corridor of splintered planks, fallen spars, torn rigging and small fires. The camera sits at the forward edge of the raised stern deck, just past the wheel, LOOKING FORWARD along the whole deck toward the bow — the reference's own vantage; the wheel and binnacle may edge the near foreground. The bow rail and bowsprit are the destination, background-center, open sea beyond them. Sea and smoke beyond the broken side rails; seawater from near-miss columns rains down over the deck in the opening. FIRST FRAME / BLOCKING First frame: deck level, MS, camera facing down the wrecked deck toward the BOW in the background-center — the view of >>: from the stern-deck edge the long main deck runs away to the bow and bowsprit against open sea and sky, cannons along both rails, the mainmast mid-depth, smoke streaming across the frame, small fires burning left and right, seawater spray falling across the deck like rain, the deck listing, loose gear sliding; the wheel and binnacle just behind/beside the camera, edging the near foreground. Eduardo is NOT in the first frame; within the first half second he comes off that second level behind the camera — his body sweeping in OVER the lens from above and behind, boots crossing the top of the frame, flying FORWARD and DOWN one deck-height into the depth of the shot toward the bow. FORMAT MODE One continuous shot — the camera does not cut on its own. The shot ENDS inside the dust whiteout; there is NO location change and NO reveal after it. PHASE 1 — the landing and the gauntlet: >> comes FLYING IN from ABOVE AND BEHIND the camera — blown off the stern deck by a blast, his body sweeping in over the lens and arcing DOWN-AND-FORWARD one full deck-height onto the main deck below, arms out in front of him, back to camera — falling THROUGH a curtain of seawater raining down from a collapsed near-miss column; he SLAMS onto the wet MAIN-deck planks in the depth of the frame and rolls through a hard tumbling somersault AWAY from the lens, toward the bow, water bursting off him and the boards, scattering debris, coming up to a crouch facing the bow, soaked and shaken. TWO crewmen of >> bolt past him in panic — one sprints aft past the camera, the other vaults the side rail and LEAPS OVERBOARD, legs kicking. Eduardo starts working down the deck toward the bow, camera following behind. An incoming round EXPLODES on his LEFT — a burst of flame, planks and spray — he flinches away to the right and is knocked off his feet onto the deck. He struggles up, heavy and unsteady, one hand pushing off a fallen spar — and a second round EXPLODES on his RIGHT — he ducks hard, shielding his head behind a broken mast stump, debris raining over him. PHASE 2 — the sprint, the frontal jump, the blast, the dust: he shoves off and breaks into a desperate sprint at 12 km/h for the bow — and as he runs, the camera SWEEPS AROUND him in one continuous arc, ending positioned OFF THE BOW, out over the open water, FACING BACK at the ship: now Eduardo sprints STRAIGHT AT THE CAMERA, the burning ship towering behind him. He plants one boot on the bow rail and LEAPS OVERBOARD TOWARD THE CAMERA — body launching up and out over the water, frontal, face and reaching arms filling the frame — and THE INSTANT he clears the rail, mid-air, the ENTIRE SHIP EXPLODES behind him in full view: a colossal white flash silhouetting his flying body for two frames, the whole vessel going up in one blast — and the expanding wall of flame-lit smoke and debris CATCHES HIM IN THE AIR from behind, swallowing his silhouette whole before he can fall clear — he VANISHES inside the explosion, never escaping it — and the cloud overtakes the lens, the dust filling 100% of the frame. The dust churns, a deep orange glow pulsing inside it and fading. HOLD inside the full dust to the last frame — the generation ENDS here, inside the dust. He never reaches the water; the blast takes him mid-air. OPTICS 47° neutral through the landing, the gauntlet and the jump. No drift. Focus rides Eduardo throughout; in the final dust the frame is pure particulate with no fixed plane. CAMERA Handheld chase behind him for the entire shot, deck level, always looking TOWARD THE BOW — footstep energy visible, jolted by each explosion; in phase 2 it accelerates after his sprint, then arcs around him in one unbroken move and settles off the bow over the water, FRONTAL to Eduardo — he runs and leaps straight into the lens with the ship in the background of his jump. The final blast is the WHOLE SHIP exploding behind his airborne body — a colossal flash, then the wall of smoke bursting forward, swallowing him mid-air and then the lens — the camera stays buried, holding inside the churning dust until the end. ACTION Strict order of events: flying entry from above through falling seawater → hard landing roll (somersault over one shoulder, forward momentum carrying the roll toward the bow, ending in a crouch) → two crewmen flee past, one over the side → left explosion → dodge right → knocked down → a hard, clumsy struggle back to his feet → right explosion → duck and shield behind the mast stump → shove off → full sprint to the bow, camera arcing around to meet him head-on → one boot on the rail → LEAP overboard straight toward the camera → THE INSTANT he clears the rail, the ENTIRE SHIP EXPLODES behind him → the blast wall catches him MID-AIR and swallows him whole → the cloud overtakes the camera → dust to 100% → hold in the dust → END. He never escapes and never reaches the water. Each explosion visibly moves his body: the first throws him down, the second folds him behind cover. PERFORMANCE During the gauntlet: jaw clenched, eyes fixed forward, water streaming off his face after the landing. The fleeing crewmen are pure panic — arms pumping, one glance back, the vault over the rail desperate. In the final sprint: full commitment, arms reaching for the rail, eyes wide — in the jump: full commitment, arms reaching at the lens, eyes wide — and mid-air the world behind him turns white: his flying silhouette swallowed by the blast, reaching hands the last thing visible. PHYSICS The flying entry has true ballistic momentum: he arrives on an arc from above, and the landing roll absorbs it — impact compresses the body, the somersault carries the leftover energy, no weightless float. Falling seawater has real weight — it rains in heavy drops and sheets, splashing off planks, soaking cloth so it clings and darkens. The listing deck tilts his movement; debris has weight and stops his foot when hit. The two deck explosions throw real shockwaves — planks lift, flame flashes then roll into smoke, and Eduardo's falls carry true body weight, hard contact with the deck, no bounce. The overboard crewman drops with real gravity. The final whole-ship explosion obeys mass: the shockwave arrives first — cloth and hair snap flat, the deck bucks under his planted boot — then the fireball's light, then the wall of smoke and debris, heavy pieces falling short, fine dust travelling farthest and swallowing the frame. Dust churns with internal motion, dense, filling every corner of the frame. LIGHTING High sea daylight 5600K, hardened by fire-glow accents from the deck fires and smoke shadow sweeping the deck; falling water catches the sun as bright streaks; each of the two explosions throws a brief warm flash from its side of the frame. The final whole-ship blast: two frames of white-hot overexposure flooding from behind, then deep fire-orange glow inside the rolling dust, fading toward neutral grey-brown as the frame holds and ends. AUDIO Phase 1: a whistling whoosh as he drops in, heavy water raining on planks, a THUD and clatter of the landing roll, grunt, ragged breath; panicked boots of the fleeing crewmen, a yell and a distant splash as one goes over the side; then BOOM left, ringing ears, his grunt as he hits the deck; scrabbling boots; BOOM right, debris pattering down over him. Phase 2: sprinting boots hammering the deck, the wooden knock of his boot on the bow rail, half a beat of pure wind as he hangs in the air — then ONE colossal BOOM as the whole ship goes up behind him, the deepest sound of the film, cracking timber and folding masts inside the roar, everything collapsing into a muffled ring, sound buried with the picture — the ring and the churn of dust holding to the last frame. No music. STYLE Photoreal live-action, fine film grain, real pyrotechnic and particulate language, one unbroken take, 8K master. POSITIVE LOCKS One continuous shot; the camera stays at deck level, behind Eduardo, always looking TOWARD THE BOW. The shot OPENS with Eduardo NOT in frame; he flies in from ABOVE AND BEHIND the camera, over the lens, on a forward arc toward the bow, through falling seawater, and lands in a tumbling roll ahead of the camera — he does not walk into frame and never appears standing before the landing. Exactly TWO fleeing crewmen: one runs aft, one leaps overboard — they appear only in the opening beat. The deck explosions land in strict order after his landing: first LEFT of him (he dodges and falls), then RIGHT of him (he ducks behind cover), then the final blast — the ENTIRE SHIP exploding the INSTANT he clears the bow rail — three explosions total, no more. The jump is FRONTAL: the camera faces Eduardo from off the bow, he leaps toward the lens with the exploding ship behind him in frame. HE NEVER ESCAPES: the blast wall catches him MID-AIR and he vanishes inside the explosion before he can fall clear — no water contact, no landing, no survival beat; the dust swallows him and then the lens. The deck matches >> throughout the run — the shot holds the reference's vantage: from the stern deck forward to the bow, wheel and binnacle at the near edge of frame, never ahead of him; sails, masts and hull match >>. The dust reaches 100% frame coverage and the shot ENDS inside the dust: the frame stays fully dust-filled to the last frame, no clearing, no new location, no reveal. Eduardo's head: mustard-yellow bandana with the small white shark tooth at the front, hair loose." Made with Seedance 2.0 on Higgsfield AI. Full open-sourced prompts & assets below 👇show more

The “I never wanted any of this to be... public or content” Myth I never wanted any of this to come out. Except I actually mean that. It’s embarrassing, it’s trashy, and it’s the opposite of how I want to present myself publicly.

On 11/26/25 at 11:08 PM, Chelsea posted the first clip–a blanket, context-less snippet of me drunk saying something I immediately apologized for the next morning. At 11:50 PM, I responded because at that point, I had no choice. 11/27/25-The Gaslighting & 9-Minute Backpedal Then yesterday, Aidan tried to save face by posting that he “didn’t want the video to be public.” And like clockwork, nine minutes later, Chelsea came charging into the comments like a Temu-sponsored bat out of hell, scrambling to apologize, trying to rewrite reality so it looked like he didn’t send her to do it. It was panicked, sloppy damage control. An amateur quality cover-up attempt that only made it more obvious how coordinated this all was. She wasn’t apologizing because she grew a conscience. She was apologizing because she got caught doing exactly what she’d been primed to do. I wonder if Aidan called her “you should’ve waited at least 20 minutes, dumbass!!!”. Not too bright that Chelsea. I can only imagine the regrets he must have for utilizing someone with the IQ of a pencil to do his dirty work. The Coordination Between Aidan & Chelsea Is Obvious Chelsea had virtually NO followers Wednesday morning. Aidan was one of the first. We’re supposed to believe someone with 150k followers just stumbled on an account that starts posting HIS private messages and HIS private videos? Kk. Aidan commented on her posts that same day, clearly encouraging it. She confirmed in my DMs back on 11/6 that she and Aidan were aligned. And she literally wrote at 4:04 AM that she had “proof,” videos & screenshots she would release if I didn’t “stop calling” her, calls she still hasn’t produced a single shred of proof of. Then yesterday within 9 minutes of his post, she writes: “Sorry for going rogue, Aidan, I hope you don’t hate my guts.” Going rogue? From WHAT? Who gave you the material in the first place? The coordination is obvious to anyone with functioning brain cells. The “I never wanted this public” lie Aidan’s post yesterday claimed he “never wanted this to be public.” If this were true, why did he instruct Chelsea to post it? Why did he share it with Jess Machado to threaten me with for the last month? Why did he share it with Joe Flipperhead, and God knows who else? If he didn’t want it public, he wouldn’t have shared it with anyone, let alone the girl I caught him cheating with. The timeline is clear– Chelsea posted a video at 11:08 pm on Thanksgiving Eve, I responded at 11:50 out of self defense. He leaked first. He escalated first. He weaponized it first. Trying to rewrite that now is gaslighting, pure and simple. He's been lighting matches behind the scenes for months, praying for this to go public. The “Meredith accused him of abuse” narrative is FALSE My actions tell the truth: • I never went to police. • I never filed anything. • I never told anyone he hit me. • I never repeated it. • I apologized the next day. • We stayed together for FOUR more months after that night. • He called me 100+ times some days, even indicating he’d end his life if we broke up. If he believed I was “dangerous,” his actions would have said that. They didn’t. The only reason this is public now is because HE leaked it. Actions > drunk slurred words said because a camera was shoved in my face when I asked him repeatedly to stop filming and to leave. The Wilbur Theatre Rumors—Let’s get petty for a second. This is another topic I’m cringing at discussing but we can thank Aidan for since he shared our sexual messages with Joe Flipperhead. And since some people (Auntie Deb, sweetie, this means you) insist on pushing their Dollar Store fan-fiction about the Wilbur Theatre night, let’s actually walk through what happened, using facts instead of whatever drug-induced hallucinations you’ve been spinning this week. The rumor goes like this- I was “mad at Aidan because we didn’t hook up,” and to “prove” it, they trot out a cherry-picked text where I said I wanted to hook up, he didn’t answer, and the next morning I said I was drunk and sorry. And somehow this has been spun into me being desperate, obsessed, or pining like a background character in a teenage soap opera. Adorable. Wrong, but adorable. Here’s the real plot twist-Aidan and I had already been together literally two days earlier, and shocker-that was initiated by him, not me. I didn’t just “show up at the Wilbur”. He invited me to come to the after party at Encore knowing I had a wedding earlier in the night. I wanted to see my friends there who I actually met to go with. This wasn’t a surprise, it was planned ahead of time. The “I was drunk, sorry” message wasn’t heartbreak. It wasn’t longing. It was me politely tapping the brakes because I didn’t even want to entertain whatever bad path it could lead us back down. And then? He texted me asking about my brother’s wedding, how I am, etc. I ignored him for a full week. Until I had no choice but to speak to him about MereNeill. That silence, from me, is what triggered his latest meltdown. Not mine. His. So no, Auntie Deb, your version isn’t “a different perspective.” It’s just wrong. Like wildly, hilariously, not-even-in-the-ballpark wrong. But sure, keep spinning fanfic if it makes your livestreams feel more exciting. I realize it’s probably been awhile since you’ve had any action since you’ve let yourself go so badly, so you live vicariously through others. Recap For MONTHS I ignored: • the texts he sent Joe to leak • the smear campaign • the creators parroting lies • the behind-the-scenes messages • the insinuations I hacked him and even shared revenge porn • the constant coordinated attacks • the threats of “turning me into the next Lindsey” • his warning that everyone would believe him because of his platform • the threats to contact my employer I didn’t clap back, didn’t retaliate, didn’t respond. But Wednesday, when Chelsea dumped the video he gave her, the same video she threatened weeks ago to drop, AND he posted pretending he didn’t want this all out? That was the line. They chose the nuclear option. Now I’m responding with facts in pure self-defense. Conclusion/Message for Temu Storm This entire mess could have stayed private. I wanted it to stay private. But when someone leaks your private moments, lies about your intentions, weaponizes your past, and coordinates an online attack, you either let the false narrative stand or you defend yourself. I’m choosing to defend myself with receipts, not gossip. With timelines, not “he said.” With evidence, not weaponized drunk clips. And then there’s Aidan’s favorite delusion. The claim that I was ‘working with Karen behind the scenes’ or ‘conspiring with her to get him in trouble for the recording.’ That could not be further from the truth. I didn’t even know he had recorded her until after she already knew about it herself. I wasn’t working with her, plotting with her, or communicating with her about it. She and I have always been friendly, but we didn’t even discuss the recording until it started leaking and Joe Flipperhead went feral on Twitter. Meanwhile, Aidan spent weeks screaming at me, accusing me of being some kind of secret double agent, like he was trying to create the betrayal he was terrified of. Almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. And here’s the reality: in the last few weeks, after he’s gone fully scorched earth on me, I have talked to her, and I support her 100%. The things he’s done to her over the past couple years, and the way he twisted it all for his followers, is the exact same manipulation I lived through. I’m not going into her details because that’s her story to tell… but let’s just say I have a feeling you’ll be hearing it sooner rather than later. And since this week has apparently become “Let’s All Fixate on Meredith Week,” let me address the content-creator sideshow, too. Some of you are strangers, while some I actually considered my friends. It’s shocking but not shocking how quickly you all flip a switch and follow your captain’s orders. Ray from Dallas spent his Sunday foaming at the mouth in a hostile little video about me, all bark, no substance. I saw it. I’m not intimidated. Mostly, I’m embarrassed for you. And your family(ies) will feel the same when your ass is doxxed next week. Can’t wait to tAkE tHaT WaLk with you! Then there’s Will, who’s gone on multiple streams calling me “crazy” and pretending he’s scared of me, despite me being nothing but nice to him. Why? Because he thinks I was the first one to tell Karen he heard the recording, which he absolutely did (unless Aidan is lying about who he played it for, but we know he’s actually telling the truth on this for once). She was informed of it the very next day, which is why she called you and you know this. This was two full days before I was even aware of a call at all. Will, for someone with your track record, maybe sit the “women are dangerous” narrative out. You’re not fooling anyone. I’m staring at 15 pages of police reports and no, it’s not all “things you’ve owned up for in the past”. You know this. Again, I’d take a very large seat here. And then my personal favorite-ex-fake friend Auntie Deb, who decided to spice up his Spaces on Thanksgiving by accusing me of distributing revenge porn with zero evidence, zero screenshots, zero anything. A completely fabricated felony tossed around like it’s gossip hour at the bingo hall. Considering your own professional history, James, I’d hope you of all people would understand how catastrophic false accusations can be, but apparently not. It would be a shame if I were to share the real reason around your separation at the middle school and how you wanted to bring Turtlenoy into it. This is all based on the several witnesses I’ve spoken to. See how that works? You announce things as fact based on something someone told you. I wonder if you’ll have that same enthusiasm when the topic is you. TBD. I’ll wait for that retraction about revenge porn. Ball’s in your court hun. And of course, there’s Jessica Machado, who’s been grinding this axe for months like it’s her full-time personality. Hos long did you cry when Chelsea beat you to the punch with that video? Don’t worry hun, there’s more but she didn’t post it because it’s not great for your fairytale. If you thought the fall-out of Kate’s video was bad, Jessica…stay tuned. I may have been momentarily distracted dealing with the chaos from Temu Chelsea, but there’s an army of your victims out there that are eager and ready for your downfall. The false claim that I shared “revenge porn,” the conspiracy theories, the wild accusations you present as fact, all of it. The 10+ streams you’ve now defamed me on. You’ve been so obsessed with me for so long that you can’t even keep your own narratives straight anymore. I love this so much for you. Let me be crystal clear–I am done being all of your punching bag. You love to spin this narrative that I’m this dangerous person. You’d think you’d lay off from constantly f*cking with me if you truly believed that. I would genuinely love for this nonsense to stop. But that requires ALL of you to stop manufacturing drama, stop lying, and stop weaponizing made-up crimes for clicks. And if they want to keep going? I’ve got plenty of content for many seasons to come.show more

🚨 Protocol Update #9 It's incredible how time flies... when you’re laser-focused on building and delivering the essential products that form the backbone of decentralized finance. Hatom has now been live on the Mainnet for over a year, and we're proud to say that this entire period has been free of issues or downtime. Our platform has been battle-tested during volatile market conditions, and each of our products has performed exactly as expected—solidifying our place as a cornerstone in the #MultiversX ecosystem. Describing last year as “incredible” feels like an understatement. We’ve witnessed unprecedented growth across the entire #MultiversX ecosystem, particularly in terms of TVL and yield opportunities. The day before Hatom launched its Lending Protocol and Liquid Staking on Mainnet, #MultiversX had a total TVL of $95 million. Within two weeks, the ecosystem surpassed $200 million in TVL, with Hatom driving over 50% of that growth. At its peak, Hatom reached over $280 million in TVL, accounting for more than 70% of the chain’s total TVL. What's even more remarkable is that, after initially using Treasury funds to incentivize users, Hatom has shifted to distributing rewards solely from protocol revenue. This marks the start of a fully sustainable, real-yield model, proving our products' rapid product-market fit and long-term viability. A Recap of the Past Year Here’s a quick overview of what we’ve accomplished in the past year: • Launched the first Lending Protocol in the #MultiversX ecosystem, along with the Liquid Staking Protocol on Mainnet. • Surpassed $100 million in TVL within just five days of the launch. • Deployed the HTM Booster Module and Accumulator. • Launched the Tao Bridge and Tao Liquid Staking, bringing over 33k $TAO into the #MultiversX ecosystem in just two weeks. • Implemented multiple upgrades to core infrastructure. • $HTM became the second-largest ESDT token after $EGLD. • Distributed over $3.85 million in rewards to our users. We are happy to announce that Hatom V2 is now live! After an incredible year of growth, we’re excited to take the next step toward becoming the leading liquidity hub across multiple chains. We invite you to explore our newly rebranded website at marking the beginning of our omni-chain journey. This rebranding reflects our bold vision and sets the stage for a full overhaul of our dApps, delivering a fresh and enhanced experience for all users. Achieving self-sustainability in such a short time, we now focus on research and development. Instead of pursuing many ideas, we’re committed to building high-impact products that create perfect synergies within our ecosystem. With that said, let’s dive into the key topics of this update: USH and Booster V2. Hatom USD (USH) We’ve highlighted USH in several updates, and it’s great to see the community recognizing its potential. USH is set to be one of the most impactful products on #MultiversX, providing a key revenue stream for Hatom while helping us maintain competitive rates and long-term sustainability. USH is the result of extensive research and careful development, designed to seamlessly fit into the Hatom ecosystem. While many DeFi projects are raising millions for new stablecoins, USH stands as another powerful product within our hub. The time has finally come for USH to be unveiled to the public, and we are excited to announce that USH will officially launch on Devnet on 28th October. While we’ve thoroughly tested for bugs internally, we’re excited to engage the community in this critical phase. To encourage participation, we’ll offer incentives for those testing USH on the Devnet, with more details to be shared at launch. Understanding USH's architecture is key to how it functions within our ecosystem. Let’s break it down step by step, starting with an explanation of each component. Facilitators USH’s minting process is driven by Facilitators—smart contracts responsible for the controlled minting and burning of USH. At launch, two primary facilitators will handle these tasks, each with distinct functionality: 1. Lending Protocol Facilitator The Lending Protocol Facilitator allows users to mint USH using a variety of supported collateral assets directly into the Hatom Lending Protocol. Unlike traditional lending mechanisms, where interest rates fluctuate based on the utilization rate, the minting of USH has fixed interest rates, thanks to Hatom's unique role as the entity managing the minting process. In a scenario where a user is minting USH through this facilitator using multiple assets as collateral, the protocol automatically prioritizes collateral with the lowest Minting APY. Let’s consider an example where a user deposits: - $1,000 in USDC (with a collateral factor of 80% and a 2% Minting APY) - $1,000 in BTC (with a collateral factor of 75% and a 3% Minting APY) - $1,000 in HTM (with a collateral factor of 70% and a 4% Minting APY) Based on these parameters, the user can mint a maximum of $2,250 worth of USH, distributed as follows: - $800 from $USDC (80% of $1,000) at 2% Minting APY - $750 from $BTC (75% of $1,000) at 3% Minting APY - $700 from $HTM (70% of $1,000) at 4% Minting APY The overall Minting APY will be a weighted average of these individual APYs, calculated based on the proportion of USH minted from each collateral type. Now, if the user decides to borrow only $1,000 worth of USH, the APY is determined as follows: - The first $800 will be borrowed from $USDC at 2% APY - The remaining $200 will be borrowed from $BTC at 3% APY This results in an effective Minting APY of 2.2%, reflecting a weighted average of the APYs across the borrowed amounts. It’s important to note that EGLD and wTAO, along with their liquid staking derivatives such as sEGLD and swTAO, can only be used as collateral in the Isolated Pools (which will be explained in the next section), not in the Lending Protocol 2. Isolated Pools Facilitator The Isolated Pools Facilitator allows users to mint $USH at zero interest using $EGLD, $wTAO, or their liquid staking derivatives ( $sEGLD or $swTAO) as collateral. Here’s how it works: When depositing EGLD or wTAO • These assets are staked through the Hatom Liquid Staking Protocol, generating the staking APY. • The staked assets are then deposited into the Lending Protocol, earning a supply APY, but are not activated as collateral. When depositing sEGLD or swTAO • When users deposit staking derivatives into the Isolated Pools, the protocol holds the staking derivatives, but the user's exposure is immediately shifted to the underlying asset ( $EGLD or $wTAO). This means the user no longer benefits from the staking rewards of the derivative, and instead, their exposure is entirely tied to the value and price movements of the underlying asset. • The staked assets are deposited into the Hatom Lending Protocol, earning the supply APY, but again not being activated as collateral. Since the protocol generates revenue from staking and supplying assets in the Lending Protocol, this income is used to incentivize the USH Staking Module. The protocol buys HTM tokens from the open market and distributes them, along with all fees generated by other facilitators, as rewards to stakers. We believe that the Isolated Pools Facilitator is one of the most important pieces of the USH ecosystem. Its potential impact on the TVL within both the Hatom ecosystem and the broader #MultiversX blockchain is immense and the revenue generated by this facilitator through fees will significantly bolster the overall growth of the protocol. To illustrate the potential of Isolated Pools, let’s use the following example: • $50 million worth of $EGLD is deposited into the Isolated Pools, generating a 6% staking APY • $50 million worth of $wTAO is also deposited, earning a 15% staking APY The total staking rewards generated from these assets would be: • $EGLD staking rewards: $50 million × 6% = $3 million annually • $wTAO staking rewards: $50 million × 15% = $7.5 million annually In total, the protocol generates $10.5 million in staking rewards annually. These rewards are then used to buy back HTM tokens from the open market, driving significant buying pressure on the HTM token itself. The purchased HTM tokens are distributed to USH LP stakers in the USH Staking Module, alongside the revenue generated by the Lending Protocol Facilitator. TVL and Yield Impact As we explore the broader impact of USH and the Isolated Pools, it becomes evident how these mechanisms contribute to the overall growth of the Hatom ecosystem, particularly in terms of TVL and potential yield generation. Based on the above numbers, if $50 million worth of $EGLD and $50 million worth of $wTAO are deposited into the Isolated Pools with a 75% collateral factor, we could mint up to $75 million worth of $USH. However, to prioritize safety, we’ll mint only 50% of the maximum, resulting in $37.5 million worth of $USH. In an ideal scenario, but also very unlikely, the $37.5 million $USH would be deposited in the Staking Module to generate rewards. In order for $USH to be deposited in the Staking Module, it is paired with another token (e.g., $USDC or $EGLD) to form Liquidity Pool (LP) position, contributing $75 million to the USH Staking Module. Additionally, the $100 million deposited in the Isolated Pools cycles through Liquid Staking and into the Lending Protocol, contributing a total of $300 million in TVL. Total TVL Breakdown: • $300 million from assets flowing through Isolated Pools ($100m) → Liquid Staking ($100m) → Lending Protocol ($100m) • $75 million from LP positions in the USH Staking Module Total TVL = $375 million As mentioned above, the $100 million deposited in Isolated Pools generates approximately $10.5 million annually in staking rewards (6% APY from $sEGLD and 15% APY from $swTAO). If all minted $USH is deposited into the Staking Module, the $75 million staked would benefit from these rewards, resulting in a 14% APY for USH LP stakers. On top of the protocol’s rewards, liquidity providers earn additional fees from their LP positions on decentralized exchanges, creating the perfect opportunity for all the participants in the USH Staking Module looking for attractive yields. USH Stability: The Peg Mechanism Ensuring the stability of USH is paramount, and to maintain its value close to $1 under all market conditions, we’ve implemented a robust dual peg mechanism. This system consists of two key layers of protection—Soft Peg and Hard Peg—designed to keep USH stable through both market-driven incentives and other mechanisms for scenarios where the Soft Peg mechanism can’t reclaim the peg. 1. Soft Peg Mechanism The Soft Peg Mechanism helps keep USH stable around its $1 value by encouraging market participants to act when USH trades above or below $1. When USH trades below $1 Users can buy USH at a discount, on a DEX, and repay their USH loans on Hatom, as USH is always valued at $1 on the protocol. This action removes $USH from circulation, helping to restore its price. When USH trades above $1 Users can borrow USH from the protocol at $1 and sell it on the open market at the higher price, increasing the circulating supply of USH and pushing its price back down to $1. 2. Hard Peg Mechanism (Redemption Mode) In cases where the Soft Peg alone cannot restore USH to $1 and its price drops significantly below the peg, the Hard Peg Mechanism is triggered through Redemption Mode. This mechanism allows any market participant to step in and help restore the peg by repaying USH loans for other borrowers, seizing their collateral at the full $1 value. It's important to note that Redemption Mode is only activated in the Isolated Pools and does not impact users minting USH through the Lending Protocol. Here’s how Redemption Mode works: When USH trades below $1 and the Redemption Mode is activated, redeemers can buy USH at the lower market price (e.g., $0.95), and use it to repay borrowers' debts at the full $1 value within the protocol. The redeemer receives collateral in the form of liquid staked tokens(such as $sEGLD or $swTAO) equivalent to the USH they repaid at its full $1 value, profiting from the difference between the discounted purchase price and the redemption value. The borrower being redeemed also benefits by receiving a redemption bonus, which allows them to keep a portion of their collateral after part of it is seized after loan was repaid. This system ensures that borrowers are not penalized during redemption, creating a balanced mechanism where both the redeemer and the borrower have something to gain. Redemption Mode differs from Liquidation in several ways: Redemption is triggered by USH falling below $1 and involves repaying borrower accounts to restore the peg. Both the redeemer and the borrower benefit, with the redeemer profiting from the price difference, and the borrower receiving a bonus from their collateral. Liquidation occurs when a borrower’s collateral falls below a certain threshold, making them risky. During liquidation, a portion of the borrower’s loan is repaid, and the collateral is seized, while also incurring a liquidation penalty. Redemption Mode uses a data structure known as a Red-Black Tree to efficiently monitor and rank all borrower positions within the protocol smart contract itself. This structure dynamically tracks borrowers based on their Borrow Limit Used, which is the percentage of collateral they have utilized relative to their borrowing capacity. The system prioritizes borrowers with the highest Borrow Limit Used, meaning those who have borrowed the most relative to their collateral are considered first for redemption. USH Airdrop Regarding the USH Airdrop, we would like to inform you that snapshots will end once USH is deployed on the Public Mainnet. The airdrop will be concluded shortly after, once all liquidity pools are stable and we determine the optimal moment to distribute the rewards to the community. USH Staking Module & Booster V2 The USH Staking Module will play a critical role in maintaining deep liquidity for USH while offering users high-yield opportunities. By staking USH LP tokens, such as USH/USDC and USH/EGLD, users can earn rewards generated by USH facilitators. This approach strengthens USH’s liquidity pools, making them robust enough to handle significant trades without destabilizing its price, thus reinforcing USH’s peg and overall stability. Beyond creating robust liquidity, the USH Staking Module serves as the key utility module within the USH ecosystem, designed to provide users with an opportunity to earn high yields on their USH holdings in a sustainable and organic way. All rewards distributed through the module are generated by various products across the Hatom ecosystem, ensuring long-term sustainability. For users seeking a more stable yield, the USH/USDC LP provides lower risk and steady returns. Those looking to leverage their EGLD holdings can opt for the USH/EGLD LP, which can be staked in the USH Staking Module. A key advantage of staking in the USH Staking Module is that rewards are based on the full value of the LP, not just the USH portion, maximizing your yield potential. As we continue to grow, we’ll be adding more LPs, providing users with even greater flexibility and options for staking their USH in the module. While our current focus is on LP tokens, we’re also exploring the possibility of allowing direct USH staking in the future, expanding the staking opportunities across the ecosystem. The Integration of Booster V2 with the Staking Module Booster V2 will be available for testing with the USH Devnet release, and with its introduction, we’ve strengthened the relationship between the HTM token and USH. Our ecosystem now features two independent boosters: one for the Lending Protocol and one for the USH Staking Module, each operating with the goal of maximizing yields for users. Key Improvements in Booster V2 Booster V2 brings several enhancements that elevate the functionality and user experience: Support for Multiple Token Types: Users will be able to deposit Pool Tokens, Farm Tokens, Dual Farm Tokens, or Staked HTM Tokens (via xExchange). Only the HTM portion will be considered for boosting. Unlimited Staking: The cap on HTM deposits will be removed, allowing users to stake without limits. This will foster a competitive environment where the more HTM you stake, the higher your potential APY. Integrated xExchange Management: Users will be able to manage their xExchange positions directly from the Booster dashboard. This will include creating pools, farming, dual farming, and staking HTM tokens, all from one convenient dashboard. Energy Management Integration: Booster V2 will allow users to manage their xExchange Energy directly from the dashboard, providing an additional way to boost rewards even further. Seamless Migration: Users will be able to migrate HTM between the Lending Protocol Booster and the USH Staking Module Booster without any cooldown periods, making it easier to optimize strategies across both modules. How the Yields Work Booster V2 will introduce a more structured and competitive approach to yield distribution across both the Lending Protocol and the Staking Module. HTM Booster in the Lending Protocol Base APY (First Batch): This is available to all users who stake a specific percentage of HTM relative to their collateral value. Any user can achieve this Base APY by staking the required amount of HTM. Boosted APY (Second Batch): After achieving the base level, users can boost their returns further by staking additional HTM, competing for the second batch of rewards. The more HTM staked beyond the base threshold, the higher the potential yield. USH Staking Module Yields Staking APY: Users who deposit USH-related LP tokens without boosting through the HTM Booster will still receive a Staking APY. This ensures that even passive participants which are not looking to stake their HTM in the Booster can take advantage of the USH Ecosystem to generate yields. Booster APY: Similar to the system in the Lending Protocol, users can stake HTM to unlock a Base APY. Beyond this threshold, any additional HTM staked will increase their APY in a competitive manner, allowing users to maximize their returns based on the amount of HTM they commit to boosting their positions. Rollout Plan for USH USH will be deployed in a phased rollout to ensure smooth implementation: Public Devnet: Open for testing, with incentives for participants to explore and stress-test the platform. Private Mainnet: A limited launch with partners to mint USH, bootstrap USH liquidity and generate initial protocol revenue. Public Mainnet: A full-scale launch, enabling all users to mint, stake, and trade USH. We know DeFi can be complex, which is why we’re committed to providing the tools and resources needed to navigate our ecosystem. With the USH Public Devnet launch, we’ll release updated documentation offering clear guidance on Hatom’s products. Developer documentation is also in the works, and we’re exploring the idea of a Hatom Academy for educational resources. Plus, we’ll soon roll out content focused on USH, helping users fully tap into its potential within Hatom and the MultiversX ecosystem. What’s Next? Hatom Pulse As Hatom grows, our focus remains on pushing DeFi boundaries while expanding across multiple ecosystems. Although this update doesn’t include a full roadmap—that will come later—our priority is clear: expanding Hatom across chains. To stand out in the competitive DeFi landscape, we’re committed to developing standout products. With that in mind, we’re excited to give you an exclusive preview of one of our most innovative products in development: Hatom Pulse. Over-collateralized non-custodial lending protocols, liquid staking, and over-collateralized stablecoins already exist on #Ethereum. What sets us apart is the synergy between these components within a unified ecosystem. By integrating these pillars, we tackle capital inefficiencies, allowing one protocol to enhance strategies that benefit the others, maximizing returns across the board. For example, when USH is minted, it means that EGLD is deposited, liquid-staked, and supplied in the lending protocol—all three protocols working in harmony. Hatom Pulse will elevate this synergy to another level, solving key issues faced by Aave, Compound Labs , and other leading protocols. We believe this innovation will be pivotal as we work to gain market share while expanding cross-chain. Our proof of concept will be deployed and battle-tested on #MultiversX, but the real growth will come when we scale this to markets that are thousands of times larger. This will be a turning point for Hatom. So, what is Hatom Pulse? On Hatom, like on Aave and other leading lending protocols, the largest assets used as collateral are often not borrowed, leading to substantial revenue loss for the protocol. This also results in very low income on the supply side, as borrowing fees depend on utilization rates, which only increase when borrowing activity rises. Generally, lending protocols are used to provide assets for borrowing stablecoins or for leveraging liquid staking strategies. This inefficiency locks up billions of dollars in dormant assets, and users earn very low supply rates on their collateral, which doesn’t help offset their loan interest. Hatom Pulse is designed to address these inefficiencies by leveraging the synergy between our existing products. It creates sophisticated vaults that activate dormant assets, unlocking advanced yield opportunities through a delta-neutral strategy. By utilizing assets like $EGLD, $sEGLD, $wTAO, and $swTAO, Hatom Pulse enables users to engage in delta-neutral strategies, where we long and short these assets on (CEXs), earning funding rates and staking rewards while keeping their assets intact. (The exact strategy, along with all the details, will be shared once USH is fully established). Initially, these vaults will operate on CEXs, where liquidity is highest, and will be managed through custodians like Copper.co to mitigate counterparty risks. Later, we plan to extend this to DEXs where all operations will be governed by smart contracts, ensuring full decentralization. serves as a strong proof of concept for us in this regard. However, our strategy will differ, as our focus will be on protecting the unit value, rather than the dollar value. Although Hatom Pulse is still in its research phase, early estimates suggest that this product alone could generate over 18% annual returns on $EGLD and more than 35% on $wTAO, with what we believe to be minimal risk. It’s important to note that these figures reflect current metrics based on internal calculations and may slightly differ upon product launch. But imagine reaching this on #Ethereum, while allowing users to borrow using their assets—this could be a disruptive protocol. We believe Hatom Pulse has the potential to become a cornerstone product as we transition into an omni-chain future. In a competitive DeFi landscape, it could give us a significant edge by offering something truly groundbreaking, capable of competing with well-established protocols across various chains. This strategy represents immense untapped potential. Hatom Pulse is being developed for risk-averse users who seek higher returns without excessive risk. By addressing inefficiencies in current DeFi strategies, we aim to offer a secure, robust option for yield generation that could rival established protocols. It's been an intense year for our team, and we sincerely thank the community for their patience, trust, and unwavering support as we've worked hard to build and deliver these groundbreaking products. As Hatom's omni-chain expansion nears, we remain focused on improving our existing products and researching new innovations to stay ahead in this competitive market. Our goal is to build a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem, accessible across all blockchains. With USH approaching its Mainnet release, we're proud of how our products have reshaped the DeFi landscape on MultiversX. By filling key gaps in the on-chain economy, we've created opportunities for users to generate yield, unlock the potential of decentralized finance, and provide strong utility for EGLD. In just over a year, we’ve built a strong ecosystem, but this is only the beginning. We’re ready to go even further, developing better products and unlocking new opportunities for our users. We’ll share more about our expansion plans in a dedicated post, staying focused on what matters most. Rest assured, what’s coming will be truly impressive for Hatom and our growing community!show more
