Here's some life-changing alpha to remember on the cusp of a bull market. IF YOU MAKE HOUSE-LEVEL PROFITS THIS CYCLE, BUY A FUCKING HOUSE. Take it from someone who has been through at least 4 cycles: Life-changing alpha is to take profits off the table when you reasonably can and shove them straight into property. I'm not saying you should dump your entire $pesto or $pistachio or $cyberdick portfolio into a mansion or a bunch of stupid properties that end up being a headache. But if you make life-changing, wife-changing, house-changing gains...then shove part of that into a property asap to lock in the gains...and keep them. This is especailly important if you don't own anything. WHY? Buying a house is the ultimate insurance against...yourself. Because you lock capital into an asset you will likely hang onto. If you take profits and keep them in stablecoins or something easy to grab for the "next amazing investment" that comes your way, that money will inevitably find its way back into the market. And the market can, and probably will, eventually fuck you. If you buy a property, it's such an ordeal to liquidate the property that money will likely STAY OUTSIDE OF THE MARKET, locked as an immovable asset. Which is your safety net. And if the market turns sour again, you won't regret owning something physical. I guarantee it. Yes, you can squeeze more yield by shoving that capital into an index fund, or buying blue-chip stocks, or buying treasuries. But If the market goes suddenly bad... If another black swan event wipes you out... If your guaranteed moon coin investment fails... If you get drained or hacked... If any number of things happen that could wipe your crypto assets to zero... Buying a house means... -You will always have a $ backup to fall on. -You can live there. -You can let your family live there. -You can rent it out in a pinch. The peace of mind that owning something brings will give you the peace of mind to make better trades. Worst case. you have something to fall back on.

Memecoins still run the show on Robinhood chain stats Those light green bars? Stock token volumes. Cashcat is doing the heavy lifting on the memecoin side and take it away and chain activity takes a real hit. It will be interesting to see what happens this week

actually this makes perfect sense ethereum shipped the merge, eip-1559, dencun, and proto-danksharding with swift coordination of all stakeholders without losing its credibility and northstar mission i have much more optimism on ethereum than on bitcoin when it comes to tackling quantum-related challenges especially doing all these while staying decentralized eth is miles ahead of btc on this issue

ETHBTC is severely undervalued, based solely on the threat posed by quantum computing Ethereum has a history of successfully upgrading the network while maintaining uptime, and will develop and implement a very high-consensus approach to deal with quantum-related issues before a critical threat emerges but Bitcoin will spend months and probably years trying to deal with the quantum issue, debating soft vs hard fork, and any potential solution will then be piled onto by any number of special interests to make other changes to the protocol which will be objectionable to many Bitcoin will likely enter a civil war over quantum Ethereum has already spent months and years preparing for it

I want to re-iterate the thoughts that I had a few months ago, where I said that startup culture has crossed the chasm of becoming purely status seeking & for clout chasers (think of the viral post where a bunch of Asians came out to say "Forbes 30u30 / Harvard / Colombia students help build for you!") and like all things, this subverts the original intentions of startups and entrepreneurships Preface to say that this is not directed at the account in particular, but more of this trend of "startup schools" and "hacker houses" becoming the new in-thing that seems to have replaced traditional accelerators and even traditional colleges as people are dropping out to join these: Startups were meant for entrepreneurs to solve problems, with the structural advantage of moving fast and breaking things that bigger players can't afford to do (You can't turn a huge ship easily) But somewhere along the way, the ecosystem flipped. The thing that made startups cool - the scrappiness, the garage mythology, the "I dropped out because I couldn't stop building" energy — became aesthetic. And once something becomes aesthetic, it attracts people who want the aesthetic without the substance. Now u get this weird amalgamation of "having the status already, without the results" - "Fly To Seoul, KBBQ & Soju, etc." like it's a lifestyle or a game, and not the difficult journey it seems to be. The problem you're solving isn't even in the conversation. The city is the draw. The funding is the draw. The experience is the draw. The actual startup is almost an afterthought - a ticket you need to punch to access the lifestyle. I think it seems easy because people aren't thinking beyond the product - the end goal is to get the raise, because it seems common sense that once you get the $, you can raise the next round easily, and the next, and the next - that it'll just be an easy snowball. This is exactly how subcultures die. The original creators: obsessive founders who were building in obscurity because they genuinely couldn't help themselves - get drowned out by a wave of participants who showed up for the scene, not the work And then people figure out you can package "startup founder" as an identity product and sell access to it. Suddenly demo days and warm intros are what gets optimized for ; YC in its early days optimized for the quality of the problem and the obsession of the founder. Now these programs optimize for Instagram moments & LinkedIn announcements. Instead of "here's what alumni have shipped", we have "all expenses paid, nice hotels" - no longer selecting for builders but for people who want to be selected. The irony is that these programs will produce exactly enough surface-level success stories to sustain themselves - a few decent companies will emerge from each cohort, because even random selection from ambitious people yields some hits. And those hits will be used to justify the next cohort, and the next one, while the median outcome remains what it always is: a nice LinkedIn post, a network of other aspiring founders, and no product anyone uses. Anyways, like all things - this is merely an observation. There's no solution to this, this is just how cultures evolve and cycles turn. Like all trends, this is just the dying light of the trend. When everyone's a "founder", the word means nothing. When every 22-year old has "backed by [accelerator]" in bio, it becomes becomes noise. This is basically how universities died. And this will be how startup culture will die too.

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.
