Threadguy explains why the GoPro stock halt is exactly why cryptocurrency wins "People are asking why they can't buy GoPro anymore. That's called a halt, for the next 30 minutes you're not allowed to trade. If that radicalizes you and you think that's bullshit, let me introduce you to... something called the blockchain. When an asset is on the blockchain they can't halt it. They can block the front end, they can take Hyperliquid down, they can ban Metamask, but the asset exists on a public immutable ledger for everybody to see and transact with, and unless the electrical grid goes down you can trade it." "So if that radicalizes you and you just bought a stock for the first time and it was GoPro and you should be up a lot but you can't sell because they halted it, let me introduce you to cryptocurrency brother. Welcome to the rest of your fucking life."show more

"People realised they can't treat this as a savings account" Avi breaks down why Stretch isn't trading back at par "You've got to ask, what is the product, why does it even exist? It exists because he wants to give you exposure to Bitcoin in a way where you get some of the returns from an asset you might think will go up over the next few years, but with capped downside" "What happened is that confidence in that product broke, because you obviously don't necessarily have capped downside, especially in moments of panic when you can enter into these liquidity crunches" "One reason it's not back to par is that it's cannibalised by a lot of products. But two, people realised they can't treat this as a savings account, which is how it's been pitched. They can't just park capital in it and pull it when they need it" "If you park capital thinking you're getting a dividend, and when you see an opportunity you can pull it out and reallocate, that's just no longer the case. You're dealing with a volatile product now, so it probably isn't going to trade at par, because it has to be discounted for that reason"

"Ever wonder why... the school systems don't teach any real life skills anymore?" "Because the moment a man becomes self-reliant, the system loses control." "They don't want you to know how to survive without them. They want you dependent. They want you obedient. They want you to be reliant on the government. And so they teach kids how to comply, not how to think." "Self-reliance is dangerous to the people who crave power, because once you can feed yourself, once you can defend yourself, once you can think for yourself, they can't control you anymore." "That's why they vilify independence, because the system doesn't fear rebellion—it fears men who no longer need it." "The strongest rebellion left in the world is a man who refuses to depend on a system that's trying to enslave him." 🎯

TikTok just released new terms of service and make all accounts agree to them. American ran them through AI, here’s the breakdown - You can't be critical of political figures - Political groups could be blacklisted. A lot of the violation could be so it's subject to interpretation, their interpretation - In matters of social unrest or crisis, they can just change the rules, shut it down completely, whatever they decide to do - You're not allowed to mention other platforms, anything misleading, even if it's a joke. Can't tell jokes anymore because somebody might be confused - You are not allowed to criticize religion - There's a ban on dangerous stunts, so no more Nicki Minaj challenges with the high heels - You're not allowed to say sexy on your live feeds - You're also not allowed to say any brand names - You can't use AI to edit something or make it more realistic - You can't do anything funny with your pet if it's staged, they can say no, that's a violation - Can't have anything to do with being too skinny. No more skinny talk. - The prevention of harm. If they deem it that it could hurt somebody financially or emotionally, that rule is very vague and subject to just whatever they feel like saying - They can pull your video from the FYP page without deleting it, just calling it ineligible - They can decide if your video is not suitable for under 18 - They can change the rules on the fly, depending on where you're viewing from, like your geographic location. - Showing flags or logos in any kind of speech or using objects like, you know, how some people hold up the papers and stuff, that won't be allowed anymore. - If they decide your video helps a banned group, whoever they choose to ban, if they decide that you're helping them, that's a violation - If someone picks a fight with you and you do a clap back, that's a violation - If you've done things on a different platform, that's a violation - On TikTok now they reserve the right to limit who can search your videos, depending on if they like the content or not - If you win an appeal now, it doesn't mean that you're going to get back on the for you page. That doesn't. That doesn't matter anymore. You can win, but they still reserve the right to not show your video on the fyp - If you post a link, that can get your account banned completely. Not even a violation, just banned. “This is just crazy. This goes to, in fact, in effect September 13th. I think that's also when they're supposed to roll out the new TikTok for the United States. That'll probably have more rules than this one.”

Palantir CEO Alex Karp explains why your business is essentially fucked if it's not sovereign in the AI era: “What is a business? Why can you charge more than it costs you to produce? Because you have some unique way of doing something.” “You need to advance your unique capability, learn from the world, and never, ever expose to anyone else how you’re doing it exactly.” “The minute someone else can do any part of those things as well as you can, your pricing parity goes down, and at some point, your value goes down.” "Normal software is built to force you to adopt something that's parasitic. They take every one of those things, turn it into a commodity, and sell it to everyone else." "You talk to VCs, what they wanted to hear was, 'Clients will be unhappy, but they can't get rid of you.'" "Sticky is a metaphor for parasitic." "I get your data, I get it into something you can't get rid of. The thing turns into something I can sell to everybody else, who then can't get rid of it, and de facto, your multiple goes down and my multiple goes up, and all of us are happy, and hope at some point you realize you're sad... Hopefully after it's too sticky." Via Zeta David A Steinberg

The Reason Cats Watch You Eat If your cat sits and watches you eat, they're usually not after your food. For cats, eating is a scary moment because their head is down and they can't watch for danger. So they eat where the group is and let someone keep guard. Your cat put you on that team, and when they stare at you it goes both ways. Part of it is them keeping an eye out for you too. Here's a tip if it bugs you. Feed your cat a little before you sit down, and put their bowl in a calm spot where they can still see you. That way they feel safe and don't need to camp next to your plate. And if your cat won't eat until you stand there, that's normal. They just want their lookout in place first. #cats #catbehavior #cattok #catlovers #catfact

🚨 Jeffrey Epstein says the best traders act on intuition they don't fully understand "If you talk to really experienced and successful traders and you ask them how they know what's going on, they can't give you an answer. They don't know. They feel it. They can feel the way the market's moving. They can feel the way the stock's moving. And that these are not very well-defined terms. Great traders feel it and then act on their feelings. That's the difference. Many people feel it but are afraid because they want a mathematical justification before they take that next step."

Why aren’t the Iranian people rising up to finish off the regime? President Donald J. Trump explains the realities of protesting inside a totalitarian state and why the regime is far weaker than it looks: “Glenn, if you were in that position, and you're a brave guy, I've watched your whole career, I've been a fan of yours for a long time. You're a brave guy, but I don't think you'd be standing out there when they have a machine gun nest. But you know, they have really snipers at the tops of buildings, and people go out to protest, and they get hit. And they don't have to hit many. But when you see five or six or 10 people go down, and you have 100,000 or 200,000 people, they leave. No, I don't care who you are, they leave. And it's very hard to protest when you have people that are willing to shoot you and kill you. And that's why they're not protesting.”

The respect of capital. If you want to be wealthy, you have to respect money. You have to understand where it fits in your life. And you have to understand that the way to get rich is not to spend it, to save it and let it grow. This is the key to success. I've been saying it for decades. You save twenty percent of your income in perpetuity, put it into the market, and you leave it alone. You start doing it in your late twenties, even if you just got the average salary, by the time you're sixty-five, you have one and a half to two million bucks. Stock market does that. You do it. But the reason most people can't is they don't have the discipline to save. They buy too much stuff they don't need.

PETER LYNCH: THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE STOCK MARKET IS TO KNOW WHAT YOU OWN He says most people can't pass a simple test. If you can't explain why you own a stock to a 10-year-old in two minutes, you shouldn't own it: "I'm amazed how many people own stocks. They would not be able to tell you why they own it. They couldn't say in a minute or less why they own it. If you really press them: the reason I own this is the sucker's going up. And that's the only reason." Lynch then ties it back to Warren Buffett's circle of competence: "All the businesses you can understand is the most important aspect of investing. If you have doubts about a business being in your circle of competence, it isn't." His point: you can understand Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Walmart, Costco. Stay inside that circle. "It's better to be well within the circle than to be trying to tiptoe along the line. My circle of competence is pretty small, but it's big enough."

Peter Lynch, the man who turned $20 million into $14 billion running Fidelity's Magellan Fund, averaging 29.2% annual returns for 13 straight years (Save this). And his most famous lesson is the simplest one: "Know what you own, and know why you own it." He's talking about something that happens every day, people spend hours researching which refrigerator to buy. They'll spend days hunting for the best airfare deal to save $50 then they'll hear a stock tip on the bus and drop $10,000 on it without a second thought. "The reason I own this is the sucker is going up" Lynch said that's the actual answer he gets when he presses most investors on why they own a stock and that, he says, is not a reason. His test is brutal and simple, if you can't explain to a 10 year old in two minutes or less why you own a stock, you shouldn't own it because if you don't understand the business, you have no idea when to hold, when to add, or when to sell. You're just riding price movement blind. This is why most retail investors lose money not because they pick bad stocks but because they panic out of good ones during normal volatility. When you don't understand why you own something, every 10% dip feels like a reason to sell. Lynch built his entire career on the opposite approach, find simple businesses, understand exactly what they do, know why they'll be worth more in five years, and hold with conviction while everyone else panics. The most important thing isn't your stock screener or your price target but rather being able to look at what you own and say, I understand this, I know why it goes up, and I can handle it going down 30% without losing my mind.

Some of the nonsensical things promoters do! You talk down on the artist you have invited! If he is not worth a thing why don’t you entertain your crowd with your talent and leave them alone, you go to them they make demands, if you can’t meet, you just say no, you don’t go run them down like they are worth nothing, of all the people in Ghana, why are you inviting him then and not just anyone. And the Keche comparison was very needless. The fact that they accommodated what you consider low treatment doesn’t mean you should broadcast it or that they should be the standard for how you treat others. And by the way how many hits and years does an artist need to “earn” business class? You can't afford it, you renegotiate or move to the one you can, don't disrespect him, Charley!

"So the easiest thing that I want everyone listening [to do], whether you have one follower or a hundred followers, is to reject inclusive language. Every time media, social media, Hollywood, any of these legacy, left-wing legacy media, when they tell you you can't say something, that is your sign to say that. Whatever they say you can't say, say more of it. Whatever they say you can't bring that up, bring that up more. What you cannot do is to acquiesce. Because once they can control your thoughts, they can control your words and they control your words. They control your habits and your character. And if you're sick of all the things that you're seeing, it starts with you. It starts with your mind. And that's the best advice I can give because that's training your mind to make courage a habit. Reject inclusive language, guard your empathy. And when you do that and you say what they say you can't say or shouldn't say, and you say it anyway, then you've trained your brain to make courage a habit. Once you take that path you will never go back, meaning that if you make courage a habit and you start speaking truth and you start going, I don't care what anybody calls me, call me a racist bigot. It means nothing to me. You might as well say I have like three eyes. It doesn't mean anything to me. If you get to that point, then you'll never go back to self-silencing yourself.

Here's the weird test most people miss: you can tell them good news and they'll actually help you celebrate. that sounds easy. it isn't. tell most people something good happened to you and they give you a little whack, then start talking about the great thing that happened to them three years ago. or worse, the great thing that happened to someone they know. 2. the good ones let you have your win. that's rarer than you think. some people, you're almost afraid to admit something good happened, because the second you let it be known, they'll try to take it away. 3. the other test is bad news. you can tell them and they'll just listen. they won't tell you why you're stupid, why it's your fault, why something worse happened to them once. they don't derail the whole thing. they just listen. 4. hanging around people who pull you down is attractive, and that's the trap. you don't have to take any responsibility. you can all whine together about how wretched life is. no accountability, no effort. feels good short term. it's a terrible long term plan. 5. so surround yourself with people who want the best for the best part of you. and if someone won't move toward anything better, keeps doing the same damn things, going nowhere, you have both the right and the responsibility to walk. putting up with it isn't kindness. that's enabling. you're giving it your tacit approval.
