🚨 WARNING: $SPCX IS SETTING UP ITS FINAL FLUSH... Then the real trade begins $SPCX trades around $134 - down over 40% from its post-IPO high near $228 Everyone's calling the bottom They're one flush early Big IPOs don't bottom on the first crash. They bottom on one nobody believes in anymore Look at Palantir in 2020 Same hype. Same retail FOMO. Same dump off top It bled roughly 85% from its peak - then did over 10x Put the charts side by side. They're almost identical Here's the script 99% of major IPOs follow: ➮ Hype → retail piles in → post-IPO pop ➮ Whales distribute → dump below IPO price ➮ Downtrend → 60-80% off the top → cycle bottom ➮ Accumulation → months of boring chop while whales load ➮ Breakout → retail FOMOs back in → 150-200%+ rally $SPCX is mid-step 3 right now Which means the roadmap looks like this: $134 → $110 → $71 That ~$70 zone is the bottom Then 2-3 months of sideways chop. No headlines. No hype. Just quiet accumulation while retail gets bored and leaves Then: $108 → $222 → $305+ From the bottom, that's a 300%+ move Here's the part nobody tells you: The last dump will feel like the thesis died That's exactly how bottoms are built. On capitulation, not confidence Most people will sell the $70s and buy back $200s You're either loading in chop - or chasing breakout. There's no third option Reminder: I called 2025 $BTC ATH and drop to $60k. This roadmap is next call Turn notifs on - I'll post it here moment accumulation zone confirmsshow more

Otedola Bridge is trending because a tomato truck almost... cru/shed an entire family of 4, forcing Lagosians to call for the bridge’s deliverance. Eyewitnesses described it as thus; The truck failed brake, veered off its lane, hit the Highlander at full speed, pushing it to hit the Venza, sending it airborne. The impact stopped the truck, but squeezed the two vehicles into the barricade. Luckily, all passengers in the car came out unscathed. The bridge has become notorious for freak accidents, from container tipping to tanker exploding to brake failures. Last year a gas tanker exploded after it fell while trying to make a sharp turn on the bridge, lives were lost, properties were destroyed in millions, but the fire mysteriously skipped one RCCG church on the street. About 8 months ago, a family of three was klled when an Audi collided with a truck. In June 2018, one of the deadliest accidents happened on the bridge. A tanker exploded, killing atleast 12 people, destroying properties in millions and scores of vehicles. Just two days before Christmas last month, a loaded tanker lost control and crashed into four vehicles, badly damaging them and leaving two persons critically injured. Same December, a heavy duty container truck flipped and collided with another truck. Luckily it happened at night when the road usage was at its lowest. This story will be updated.

🚨THIS GUY FLIPPED $6 INTO $4 MILLION IN JUST... A WEEK!! This is NOT a clickbait or fake. If you’re trading on Polymarket, you MUST read it. He began with around $6-7 and somehow pushed it to ~$4M He’s not an insider Not buddies with Trump or Musk Just a coder who built his own script Profile → Copytrade → I went through his code and ngl, I was shocked No huge datasets No crazy complex infrastructure Nothing close to “rocket science” I spent roughly 4-6 hours dissecting his whole setup His FULL strategy: 1. “Free money” through NO bets The bot hunts near-impossible scenarios and stacks tons of tiny, high-probability wins. This isn’t gambling - imo it’s more like systematic risk farming 2. Logic arbitrage If event A clearly leads to event B, and the market hasn’t priced it yet, the bot jumps in instantly. While u’re still reading the headline, the inefficiency is already gone. No human can match that speed, tbh 3. The real edge - sports and politics These markets are packed with retail money + slow, emotional reactions. The bot lives off the spread, clipping tiny profits from every small mismatch Scale matters Tens of thousands of micro trades every month, each bringing just cents. Stacked over time, they compound into 7 figures Bottom line IMO, there’s a silent bot war happening on Polymarket Crypto markets are already crowded, slow, and fee-heavy, but sports markets are still pure chaos - easy money for those who automate.show more

This Chinese guy built a Second Brain in Obsidian... and every morning gets 3 trading ideas that brought him $180,000 in 6 months. Inside he runs a pipeline of 6 workflows on N8N that automatically pulls every read article, listened podcast, and voice note into a shared Obsidian vault, and a neural network analyst every morning at 6:00 finds connections between the fresh and the old and puts the 3 strongest trading ideas for the day into the inbox. No analytics desk, no Bloomberg terminal, no Telegram chats with traders. Just a Mac Mini by the wall, an iPhone in the pocket, and 1 local Obsidian vault. And traditional quant funds keep entire teams of 8 people on salary for the same flow of insights, while his expenses are only subscriptions to Readwise, Whisper API, and N8N hosting. 6 pipelines process about 200 sources a day and close the monthly API bill at about $120. The Mac Mini itself stores the entire vault and keeps the neural network analyst running 24/7, and from the iPhone the owner drops any idea he hears on the go into a Telegram bot, and it lands in the vault inbox in just 30 seconds. The starting instruction that sits in the VAULT.md file at the root of his vault looks like this: "you are the AI analyst of a solo trader. you read his vault every morning at 6:00, find connections between fresh and old notes, and deliver 3 trading ideas he can verify in the hour before the market opens. pipelines: // Reader (pulls every article and highlight from Readwise, Twitter bookmarks, and Kindle into /notes) // Listener (transcribes podcasts through Airr and voice notes through Whisper, puts them in /notes) // Catcher (accepts any message from the Telegram bot and writes it to /inbox with a timestamp) // Connector (every night reads across the entire vault and updates the connection graph between 4,000 notes) // Briefer (at 6:00 AM writes a brief: 3 trading ideas for today plus the emerging thesis of the week, puts it in /inbox) // Mobile (lives in the iPhone, answers any question about the vault by voice, and confirms alerts while the owner is on the go). you wake the owner with a push notification only when a fresh note contradicts his active thesis or when 1 of the 3 morning ideas has a confidence score above 90%." This instruction immediately sets the role for the system and the limits of its autonomy. It knows it is supposed to connect new with old on its own. It knows it is supposed to prepare 3 trading ideas every morning on its own. It knows it connects the live trader only when a thesis is contradicted or an ultra-confident idea appears. → Reader pulls about 80 articles and highlights a day from Readwise, Twitter, and Kindle → Listener transcribes 4 to 6 podcasts a week through Airr and Whisper → Catcher intercepts all voice and text ideas through the Telegram bot, averaging 15 to 20 a day → Connector updates the connection graph between 4,000 notes every night, adding 25 to 30 new edges → Briefer puts a fresh brief with 3 trading ideas and the emerging thesis into the inbox at exactly 6:00 → Mobile answers any question about the vault by voice and confirms alerts right from the iPhone And only when a new note contradicts his active thesis or 1 of the ideas breaks 90% confidence does the orchestrator raise the owner with a push notification. And when the trader at that moment is driving to the gym or eating breakfast, the Mobile agent in his iPhone answers any quick question about the vault by voice: what he wrote about this ticker last week, which 3 sources support the idea of long NVDA, and what counter-thesis already sits in his notes. The trader makes the decision and sends the order before New York opens. The fresh brief from last Monday looks like this: "reader: 78 materials added over the weekend, 11 of them about semiconductors, 4 about energy, 3 about biotech. passing to connector." "connector: 27 new connections found between fresh materials and the vault, the strongest one is that the Goldman report from Wednesday matches the NVDA thesis you wrote 3 weeks ago." "briefer: 3 trading ideas for today: long NVDA (confidence 0.84), short Tesla at the close of the quarterly report (0.71), watch URI (0.62). emerging thesis of the week: the market is underpricing capex on data centers." "alert: your fresh note about long-term risk in semis contradicts the NVDA thesis. sending for review." In his work setup there is no cloud server, no team of analysts, and not even a Bloomberg subscription. At home sits a Mac Mini with a local Obsidian vault, on top run 6 N8N pipelines and a neural network analyst, and the same vault mirrors to a secure terminal on the iPhone. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest solo trading setup on a second brain: $120 a month on the API, about $30,000 a month into the account, and between them 6 pipelines, 4,000 connected notes, and 1 iPhone in the pocket.show more

Claude Fable 5 + Claude Design is f*cking insane... 🤯 Anthropic just dropped its most intelligent model ever, and the first thing I pointed it at was email design. I built a complete email campaign design in Claude Design, and the difference is night and day: tighter layouts, cleaner hierarchy, on-brand from the first generation. All inside Claude Design with Fable 5. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who are still paying email agencies $3-5K/month for campaign designs that take 2 weeks to ship. If your campaign calendar is packed but every new email means briefing a designer, waiting on mockups, sending notes, and waiting again... This workflow eliminates the entire bottleneck: → Load your brand design system into Claude Design once (colors, fonts, logo, button styling) → Switch the model to Claude Fable 5 — Anthropic's new state-of-the-art model with the best vision of any AI → Prompt the campaign email section by section: header, hero, headline, offer block, CTA → Fable 5 nails layout and brand details that older models fumbled → Iterate inline — swap images, adjust styling, color-pick directly in the canvas → Export the finished email and hand off to your ESP No briefing a designer. No 2-week turnaround on a single campaign. No paying an agency $4K/month for 4 emails. What you get: → Campaign emails designed in minutes, not weeks → A reusable design system every new email pulls from automatically → Noticeably smarter design decisions from Fable 5's upgraded vision → Full inline editing before anything touches your ESP Built 100% with Claude Design + Claude Fable 5. I recorded a full walkthrough showing exactly how this works. Want it for free? > Like this post > Comment "FABLE" And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)show more

Bit of end of cycle / start of year... testing AKA gym yap Front Squat 140kg: Very happy with this given I've only been back squatting for 9 weeks, and that's the longest cycle I've been able to string together in like 5+ years. I can technically call this a PB since it was beltless, sleeveless and less fat bodyweight so over the moon here. Backsquats of any nature keep tweaking my lower back so gonna stick with fronts for the rest of the year. Bench 140kg: Ive done this a lot in the last 10 years, but I was always 105kg bodyweight or more. So to do it at 97kg is a big win. Pressing power has been feeling horrible for the last year or so and I couldn't figure out a good programme, so happy that it's finally clicked again. Deadlift 200kg: Tweaked my lower back 3 times last year and put a lot of effort into fixing it up and strengthening it. 200 was easy so I did attempt 220kg but as soon as it left the ground either I would have failed or had a 10 second grind on my hands so decided to just not risk it. Goal for last year was to get healthy enough to be able to train the deadlift again and I achieved that so despite being far from my best of 262.5kg I've very pleased Ive been able to get to a position where I can train it again without headaches or lower back tweaks. OHP 80kg: Haven't trained OHP in a year or more, and stopped doing behind the neck press 3 months ago when I started benching more, so just wanted to do this for fun. Bit off my best of 95kg but its funny how much strength you retain without even doing a vertical press. Cutting down to 90kg again over the next 2-3 months then will see where I can take these over the rest of the year. No real numbers in mind, just happy to be able to train hard.show more

Ever heard the expression “shit rolls downhill”? Well we... hit the bottom of the hill this week. Jobs were stacked way too tight on the schedule. Our operators were running 7 days a week, not finishing a job, and moving on to the next one with plans to return. Their hours were getting out of control too. Hitting 75 hours per week each. A surefire way to reach burnout. They’d be rushed to get to the next job, set a task to return to the last one, and move all the equipment over to the new one. This meant cash flow came to a screeching halt while expenses shot to the moon. Returning to a job to finish means a minimum of $500 in costs just to bring the equipment there and back. An unnecessary expense had we just took the time to finish properly in the first place. I’ve been nose deep in marketing and sales while this was happening and trusted that the production process was working. It wasn’t. They finally reached out and asked for help... at 8pm. We had 4 jobs set to start the next day and one of the trailers broke an axle. Rescheduling over 50 jobs is no easy task, and one they were all avoiding that created the problem in the first place. It’s difficult to tuck your tail between your legs and let a customer know their job needs to be pushed back up to 30 days. So I set into triage mode. Called each customer personally that was set to start the next day and let them know what was going on and what we needed to do. I then laid out every job on the schedule and set about not only fixing the current problem, but making sure it didn’t happen in the future. I wiped the jobs off the rest of the week so the team could go finish the jobs we left open ended and finish them properly. I then cleared every job off Fridays and weekends. This prevents burnout, overtime, and gives us 3 days a week to absorb rainouts, equipment issues, and job delays. This pushed the schedule 2 months further out, so I had to do the part everyone dreaded. Alerting the customers of their new start date. I reached out individually to each one to let them know. Fortunately, our customers are incredible and were very understanding. Nobody cancelled their job. Our operators have room to breathe, our quality can stay top notch, our cash flow returns, and the bandaid is ripped off. Now let’s get to work damnit!show more

Trump’s Long Game to Topple the Iranian Regime Trump’s... strike on Iran was not a random move. It was the final piece of a larger strategy that has been unfolding since he returned to office. Most people look at the February 28th strikes on Iran’s military targets and assume it was simply about protecting Israel or stopping an immediate threat. That is only the last scene. The groundwork had been laid for over a year. From the start of 2025, the administration moved on multiple fronts. Early 2025 focused on China. New tariffs and aggressive efforts to bring manufacturing back to the United States were framed as economic policy, but they also squeezed Beijing’s ability to fund partners and expand its military reach. Reduce the cash flow and you weaken the network. Throughout 2025, Russia remained locked in Ukraine. The United States kept support flowing while pressing Europe to shoulder more of the burden. The result was strategic containment. Moscow stayed preoccupied in its own region, limiting its ability to meaningfully back Iran or Venezuela if tensions escalated elsewhere. By mid-2025, the strategy escalated with Operation Midnight Hammer. During the intense Twelve-Day War between Israel and Iran in June, U.S. forces launched precision strikes using B-2 Spirit stealth bombers and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles against Iran’s primary nuclear enrichment facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. The operation delivered a devastating blow to Iran’s nuclear program with Massive Ordnance Penetrators, significantly setting back Tehran’s ambitions while remaining narrowly tailored to avoid full-scale war. Late 2025 brought a targeted operation inside Iran. US forces struck senior Quds Force figures and disrupted coordination hubs tied to partners in Latin America and the Middle East. Weapons pipelines were slowed. It was a demonstration of reach and precision without triggering a full scale war. A shaping move. On January 3, 2026, US forces captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife in Caracas. This dismantled a sanctions evasion channel that helped Iran move oil revenue. It also disrupted Iranian and Hezbollah networks operating out of Venezuela. The signal was blunt. Geographic distance would not guarantee safety. By February 28th, the stage was set. The strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and key military sites followed. Iran’s Supreme Leader and several senior commanders were killed. The stated objective was not occupation, but degradation. Set back the nuclear program, weaken proxy confidence, and deter a broader regional arms race. Now we are seeing rapid reactions from activist groups linked to Neville Singham. Singham, an American businessman living in Shanghai, has been associated with funding organizations such as The People’s Forum and Code Pink. After prior US actions involving Iran and Venezuela, these groups mobilized quickly with coordinated statements and protests. Trump’s moves were cutting off key money routes and strategic partnerships that help China. Venezuela and Iran were important pieces in Beijing’s bigger global plan for cash, influence, and power. Whenever the U.S. took action, the 2025 Iran hit, grabbing Maduro, or the large strikes in Iran, these well-funded organizations quickly organized protests, statements, and rallies as pushback. When you connect the dots, it becomes super clear: The tariffs on China, the ongoing support for Ukraine, the targeted ops inside Iran in 2025, capturing Maduro in Venezuela, and the strikes that occurred today, these weren’t random or separate moves at all. They were all connected steps in one smart, long-term plan. The goal was simple: break up this loose group of countries working together before they could team up tighter and become a real, lasting challenge to America’s power in the world.show more

RHP Cole Leaman (Lehigh Baseball) is an arm I'm... really looking forward to following this spring. Fresh off a strong Sophomore season in which he worked a 2.31 ERA with 49 Ks to 23 BB across 46.2 IP. Showed some positive flashes on the Cape. While slightly undersized, Leaman has a strong and athletic build at 6' and 190-lbs. Has put on a lot of good weight over the last couple of years. Leaman has almost a "check point" delivery in which he takes a noticeable side step towards the 1B side, gathers himself and breaks into the rest of his motion. Lengthy arm stroke and attacks from a high-3/4 slot from a low release height. Leaman is a high-level athlete and a dynamic mover on the mound. Sits really well on his back glute and his lead leg block enables him to generate power and drive his back side through. Drop and drive delivery. Little bit of effort, but plenty of arm speed. Leaman's FB sits in the 91-94 range, but it was up to 96 this summer and 98 this fall. Jumps out of his hand from a ~5'3" release height and flashes riding life through the zone. Averaged 15" of carry this summer and 2,361 RPMs. Gets over the barrels of opposing hitters when located in the top-1/2 of the zone, which is where the pitch is at its best. Command can be erratic at times. Would give it a 55. Leaman's most-used off speed pitch is a high-70s-to-low-80s CB. Shape is inconsistent and it can get a little slurvy at times, but he snapped off a handful of really good ones between the spring and summer. When it's at its best, it will flash a bigger shape with sharp, downward tilt. Leaman will also mix in a low-to-mid-80s SL that's distinct in shape. Another pitch he's still gaining a feel for, but like his CB it's also shown big time flashes. Shape of it will vary, but it will sometimes flash plus with sharp, two-plane break (more sweep than depth) and essentially take a late, hard left turn. Rounds out his arsenal with a high-80s cutter and a mid-to-high-80s CH. The former is more intriguing than the latter. Curious to see how much he uses the cutter this spring, threw a couple this summer that had late glove-side life. Leaman has a very intriguing blend of athleticism and stuff, though he'll need to iron out his command and control in order to maximize his upside. As mentioned, it's a bit scattered right now and has hindered him in some starts. 5th-8th round type this July. (📽️: Falmouth Commodores)show more

This honestly looks like it was shot on a... real camera. Made this beauty UGC ad with Thank You AI and I'm obsessed with how natural it turned out.✨ Prompt: A realistic, high-end UGC beauty ad filmed in a bright, modern apartment during golden morning light.

The product's benefits shown align with its formula: gentle exfoliation, deep hydration, glossy non-sticky finish, and softer-looking lips.show more

Two stone giants sit in the Egyptian desert. Each... was carved from a single block of stone, weighs 720 tons, and was dragged 420 miles from its quarry. They are so large that, three and a half thousand years later, you can still see them from more than 10 miles away... They are called the Colossi of Memnon, and they were built around 1350 BC by the pharaoh Amenhotep III to guard the entrance of his mortuary temple on the west bank of the Nile, opposite modern-day Luxor. Each Colossus stands 18 metres (60 ft) tall, including its plinth. They were carved from a stone called quartzite sandstone, quarried at el-Gabal el-Ahmar, the Red Mountain, near modern-day Cairo. The southern statue is a single, unbroken block. The northern was cracked by an earthquake in 27 BC and partially rebuilt in the Roman era. Quartzite sits at 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. The Egyptians who built the Colossi were a Bronze Age culture. Their chisels were made of copper and bronze, which register around 3 to 4 on the Mohs scale. They could not have cut the stone directly. The mainstream answer is that they did it by abrasion. According to archaeologists, they used small handheld stones harder than quartzite, mixed with sand and water, and slowly ground the figures out of the block by hand... Each finished statue weighs 720 tons, roughly the weight of a hundred adult elephants. They were quarried near Cairo and installed near Luxor, 420 miles south. The Nile flows northward, which means a river journey would have required moving the stones against the current. Many experts believe that the stones are too heavy to have been transported upstream on the Nile. Some Egyptologists argue, instead, that the blocks were dragged overland on wooden sleds for the entire 420 miles. Whatever happened in the desert thirty-four centuries ago, and however it happened, the result is harder to argue with than any explanation. The statues still stand. And I think that is the most astonishing thing of all: they have stood through every empire that has tried to outlive them. The Colossi were already standing when Tutankhamun was born. They were standing when Alexander entered Egypt. They were standing when Cleopatra met Caesar. They were standing when Roman tourists climbed up to scratch their names into the plinth. And they are still standing today... If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.

more frontend vibecoding tips (results below): WHY YOUR VIBECODED... FRONTENDS ALL LOOK THE SAME AND SUCK: when asked to make a frontend, the agent/llm will default to the center/average of its training data (in a very loose sense). through the training process, the model essentially converges on some default UI style. it's very capable of doing things that are different from this style, but you have to ask! for instance, ChatGPT tends to reply in the same tone for all users untill you interact with it and instruct it differently ("be sassy", "eli5"). the second reason is that most of us are not good at coming up with designs and describing them precisely (see my tweet on a crash course in common components, which i'll link below). treat frontend generation just like any other eng task! you need to provide a good detailed spec. TIPS: 1. give ur agent screenshots of designs you like (you may not know the right words to describe them but the agent will! a pic = 1000 words) where to find ui inspo? Behance, Dribbble, Mobbin (Mobbin is paid but worth it!) 2. ask ur agent for proposals, this helps "seed" different directions so the final frontend stands out. don't be afraid to go back and forth. 3. ban certain tendencies: no Inter/Roboto, no shadcn (controversial), no gradients, no emojis 4. encourage the agent to be extreme and make bold decisions, not safe ones. i think that the underlying models tend to get taught during RL/fine-tuning to make conservative choices that produce reasonable but boring frontends 5. give ur agent Figma MCP. the best results will come if you mockup your vision in Figma first. 6. Ideally choose an agent with vision capabilities TLDR: Most people are tremendously underusing agents for frontend design. They are much better than you might expect.show more

Investing in RWA Property Tokenization: A Comprehensive Checklist Propbase... encourages everyone to research heavily into finding future proof tech with market fit. This is what you should look for and how we achieve it! Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization is transforming real estate by allowing fractional ownership, increased liquidity, and global access to property investments through blockchain. 1. Experienced Team with Relevant Expertise Look for founders and executives with proven backgrounds in real estate, blockchain, finance, and tech to ensure the project can navigate complex markets. Propbase Ticks This: Yes. The team includes Kevin Goos (Founder & CEO) with over a decade in property marketplaces, Hudson Leung (Executive Director) in strategy and ventures across Asia-US, and Jesse Gage (Executive Director) in digital media in Southeast Asia. Their combined expertise in Web3, SaaS, and global marketplaces positions them well for success. 2. Innovative Technology and Blockchain Integration The project should use a secure, scalable blockchain with low fees, supporting features like smart contracts for transparent transactions and cross-chain compatibility for broader access. Propbase Ticks This: Yes. Built on Aptos for high-speed, low-cost transactions (~$0.01 each), it also integrates with BASE and Ethereum via bridges for seamless cross-chain transfers. This enables efficient tokenization and fractional ownership, turning properties into liquid digital assets. 3. Strong Regulatory Compliance and Legal Framework Ensure the project adheres to laws in its operating regions, with structures like LLCs for legal ownership to protect investors from regulatory risks. Propbase Ticks This: Yes. Every tokenized property is held in a U.S.-registered LLC, providing true legal ownership and compliance, unlike synthetic RWAs that only track prices. This verifiable structure adds a layer of investor security in Southeast Asia's growing markets. 4. Clear and Sustainable Tokenomics Token supply, distribution, utility (e.g., governance, fees), and incentives should be transparent, with mechanisms like staking for long-term value. Propbase Ticks This: Yes. The PROPS token (on Aptos) powers governance, transaction fees, staking for benefits like fee discounts and early access, and rewards (35% allocation). With 75% community allocation and an 8.68% annual inflation rate, it fosters engagement without excessive dilution. 5. Strategic Partnerships and Ecosystem Support Collaborations with real estate developers, hotel brands, or financial institutions can enhance credibility and property sourcing. Propbase Ticks This: Yes. Properties are managed by established brands like Wyndham Garden and CASSIA Banyan Tree, eliminating investor hassle in maintenance or tenancy. This ties into a broader ecosystem for resilient, high-yield assets. 6. Robust Security Measures and Audits Prioritize projects with blockchain immutability, secure smart contracts, and ideally third-party audits to mitigate hacks or vulnerabilities. Propbase Ticks This: Yes. All transactions are on-chain for transparency and immutability, with a focus on secure ownership recording. While specific audit details aren't highlighted in recent overviews, the Aptos foundation emphasizes security, and the platform's decentralized nature reduces fraud risks. 7. Market Potential and User Adoption Assess demand in target regions, user growth, and features like low entry barriers to gauge scalability and real-world utility. Propbase Ticks This: Yes. Targeting Southeast Asia's booming property markets, it allows investments from $100, enabling fractional ownership and diversification. Features like monthly rental yields and P2P trading drive adoption in underserved areas. 8. Liquidity and Accessibility Tokens should be listed on reputable exchanges, with easy buy/sell options and global reach to avoid illiquidity traps. Propbase Ticks This: Yes. PROPS is tradable on platforms like Coinmetro, with cross-chain bridges enhancing accessibility. The P2P marketplace allows anytime trading of property tokens, boosting overall liquidity. 9. Transparency and Community Engagement Regular updates, roadmaps, and community tools (e.g., governance voting) build trust and long-term support. Propbase Ticks This: Yes. Through Nexus Governance, users vote on proposals, and the roadmap (e.g., Propbase 2.0 with DeFi lending) shows clear progress. Active community rewards and referrals encourage involvement. 10.

Quite a staggering press conference by the Power Minister... I must say... Here is a point by point summary of the presser which may be helpful. 1. He starts off by admitting hamaray control mein kuch bhi nahin... 2. Then he says PMLN ne hamesha ke liye awam ko load shedding ke azab se azad kiya, in a presser about excessive load shedding for which he is apologising. 3. He first admits the role of LNG shortages in the load shedding issue, contradictory to the govt trying to press that this is because of reduced hydro electricity production. 4. Then he pivots to say that the issue is indeed of hydro electricity; a 1700 MW shortfall because the water cannot be released; effectively blaming the agriculture sector. Ridiculous, because the reservoirs are for irrigation, and hydroelectric production is a by product. It is the inability to plan for this that is on the govt. 5. Then he says there is no loadshedding during daylight hours, because of solar production - the same solar the govt tried to discredit. The claim is not true. Scores of feeders in Peshawar are seeing unannounced all day outages. 6. Then he says we have double the production capacity from gas (that we can't use because we have no more gas), and that we are using all the furnace oil in the country; effectively saying there is a fuel crisis in the country. 7. Then he says the wag the dog kneejerk power strategy effectively also led to industrial load shedding, so now the govt is damaging the economy as well as making consumers furious. 8. Then he says HESCO & KE is not suffering additional load shedding because there is enough power in the south, then why not the same logic to KP and Tarbela??? 9. Then the piece de resistance that the 2.5 hours load shedding is to reduce electricity bills for the public - which seems to be the most amazing marketing spin by the power sector for this unmitigated disaster. And to rub salt into the wounds he says this is the result of the major power sector reforms or which he is proud. This govt keeps failing miserably, and then thinks it can pass its failures as success. Extreme case of Form47itis... Full Presser:show more

Instead of just talking about it, I wanted to... go through it and really break it down to figure out the exact reason for the difference in Jalen Duren's play between the regular season and the playoffs. *LONG BREAKDOWN COMING* First, lets list how much the difference was: Iso in RS: 82nd %ile Iso in PS: 21st %ile Post-ups in RS: 88th %ile Post-ups in PS: 59th %ile PPP on drives in RS: 1.18 ppp PPP on drives in PS: 0.80 Layups in RS: 79th %ile Layups in PS: 19th %ile It was a staggering drop off. Shocking to many of us who watched him all season. So, what happened? Well, #1 I think mentally he was letting his struggles get to him and he started to play out of control. Something that suggests this to me is this stat: He started to figure some things out himself in isolation over the last 2 games against the Cavs. He had six isolation possessions in the final two games against the Cavs; he scored on five of those possessions and drew a foul on the other. Game 6 he started to look confident and really made them pay out of isolation. I really think a ton of it was he got hit with a punch early against ORL and really struggled to handle the pressure and struggles after, and just kept stacking and stacking. So, him being in his own head is #1 for me. #2: His handle got exposed quite a bit. In the regular season, he only had a 4.2 TO% in isolation, which is incredible. In the playoffs, though, that spiked to 20 TO%. On drives in the RS, he had a TO% of 4%. In the PS, it jumped to 13.3%. The first clip below shows how the right-to-left cross he loved doing all season was really taken away from him. Too loose of a handle, and he often got his pocket picked trying this exact move over and over. I think having his go-to move taken from him shook him a bit and left him scrambling a bit in his head to find a counter. The second clip shows, imo, him starting to lose trust in his handle. He immediately turns his back to the defender, which is what you do when you're worried about losing the ball. But, even then, he loses control of the handle and it ends up in a turnover. If I'm the Pistons, I'm showing all his turnovers due to his handle and working with him on tightening his handle and also helping him get comfortable with a counter/second move so defenders don't just sit on the right-to-left cross. #3: I think he really struggled to adjust to the playoff whistle. In the regular season, he drew free throws on 21% of his isolations and 31% of his post-ups. In the PS, it dropped to 14% and 11%, respectively. There were many possessions where in the RS he would've got free throws, but did not in the PS and he was frustrated. In the third clip, you'll see how physical he was being played by Mobley (which we all want physicality in the game). But, in the RS, he probably is getting FTA's here. There are many examples of this where it felt like a lot of his value during the RS was being able to draw FTA's on his drives, and in the PS, refs just allowed more physicality, and he struggled to deal with it. #4: Ausar-Duren duo. I believe in this duo, and I do not think this was the main reason Duren struggled. However, I am not blind to the fact that there were obviously some possessions that hurt Duren. In the regular season, Duen actually got less efficient when Ausar wasn't on the floor. However, in the playoffs, Duren went from 51 TS% with Ausar on the floor (302 minutes) to 64 TS% with Ausar off the floor (121 minutes). In the 4th clip, you really see how the lack of spacing caused a tough shot from Duren. He gets a step on WCJ going right, and probably would prefer to then just use his strength to create spearation. However, he sees Suggs sitting in the right gap off of Ausar, which forces him to spin left. Once he spins left, Paolo is completely leaving Tobias open. This is one of the reasons I really think DET needs a spacing 4 because this should be an easy kickout from Duren to a shooter. He still should've made this pass to Tobias, but a legit shooting 4 I think would relocate to the corner and make an easier outlet/easier to see for Duren. But, he still coulda made the pass, tbf. Either way, you see how the lack of spacing from both Ausar and Tobias forced Duren into a really awkward drive where he was forced into an extremely tough shot. I think if the passing returned from Duren, some of these situations wouldn't happen. Hitting Ausar early as he cuts into the space would work, or hitting Tobias (who again shoulda be making himself more available) beyond the arc results in better offense. But, also, having better spacing probably allows Duren to just get to his original move once he beats WCJ off the dribble. and lastly #5: He really just didn't play well. I can't include any more clips (I'll put some in the immediate thread reply to display), but he really just didn't play well. Missed *a lot* of looks we're used to him making. His touch around the rim left him, looked like he really felt rushed in the paint. He was struggling to secure rebounds after dominating the glass all season (during the RS, he averaged 4.3 second chance points a game, in the PS it dropped to 2.3). During RS, he had a 22.0 DREB%, which dropped to 16.0% in the playoffs. So, I think a lot of factors played into why he struggled so much in the playoffs. My takeaway is I don't think these things are unfixable; actually, I think they're very fixable. Experience of dealing with what playoff physicality is I think is going to help moving forward. All young players have to adjust to that--I think Cade really learned that from NY series to this playoff run. Tightening his handle and just having a second move to go to is not something that should be considered impossible. I'd like to believe it's pretty likely with how much he works and the raw skill he already has with his handle. Pistons adding a legit spacer at the four I think solves a lot and will make Duren's life a lot easier. The most concerning part is mental. And we won't know an answer to that until the next playoffs. Did this experience help him on his journey towards becoming mentally strong and prepared enough to move forward? Did this run help him find a routine that helps him lock in mentally, as many players have said they had to discover? Or will the pressure from struggling last postseason get to him this upcoming postseason? Will he let mistakes get into his head, compound them, and start playing rashly? I don't think the second option will be the case, but no one will know until the next postseason. Honestly, I'm more concerned and critical of his defense in the playoffs (which at times was pretty good and at other times was an incredible struggle), but that would require its own thread. My ending thoughts: I still very much believe in Duren. This playoff run showed he has areas he must sharpen up and learn from, but at 22 that shouldn't be a shocker. He is incredibly talented and made a large jump during the RS. The PS posed challenges he didn't quite have answers to yet. But another run of experience, another offseason of training, and another year older should lead him down a good path. I am fully supportive of paying Duren and extending him. I am not at close to 50 million dollars. 35-40 million is where I think they'll settle on, and I'm fine with that. But, he's gotta learn from these playoffs! Every offseason he's gotten better, I don't have a reason to believe Jalen Duren won't learn and improve again this summer. He's only 22.show more
