Avg corp margin is above 80%, but it’ll continue at about that rate. Maybe 60 to 70 with referral agreements. My personal ā€œmarginā€ is about 45% now between my contracting work at the start and my actual work now, 50% after job expenses moving forward with my partner
Check out, yall. Focus on you. Your family. I got fucked 13 months ago and have since top line $350k. I’m not worth it. You are

If you know me… $xlm
$XLM has been around forever. And that’s exactly why most people stopped paying attention to it. But zoom out. Every major expansion in $XLM started from the same boring area where price looked completely dead. Right now I’m watching $0.30 first. Then $0.63. Then the old ATH zone around $0.80. If those levels start getting reclaimed the entire chart changes. My bigger target sits around $1.25. Roughly +1,500% from the lows. Old coins don’t need a new story. Sometimes they just need liquidity.

God I love CFB. I played a bit at the d2 level. My younger brother went d1. We both have no ā€œfanā€ level of sports anymore. But I love being able to turn on a random no-name game on a Thursday night.

Honest here. Some people have reminded me that Moses stuttered. I’ve never accepted it, it feels sinful. I’m too modest

Just look at the country of origin. That can tell you a lot about what the likely timeline of security looks like. Until crypto savings/deposits are regulated and ā€œsecuredā€ by something like the FDIC… You’re on your own, bucko PS I was hit up by DCENT many times about collabs/endorsements. I never accepted any of them from anyone.
Public post on why I won't be using DCENT as my cold storage anymore. Trust has been lost after the recent DCENT App Wallet hack. I love my DCENT physical device. I've had zero issues with it over the years, and based on what the DCENT team has communicated, the physical device itself is still safe to use for now. But the security of the App is questionable at this point. I would rather be safe than sorry until DCENT can confirm that everything is secure and independent security professionals are able to verify it as well. It's honestly disappointing because this recent incident is something I believe could have potentially been prevented with stronger security measures and independent security audits in place. DCENT has been around for many years, which makes the lack of transparency and independent verification even more disappointing to me. At this point, the incident was a wake-up call and the breaking point for me. I'm choosing to move my long-term crypto storage elsewhere until I have a level of confidence in DCENT's app security that I'm comfortable with. patreon.com/posts/170214189?…

The AI biz/economy is a bubble. The AI tech is not. The data center fear porn is the same as fracking/pipeline/NIMBY and internet antichrist BS we’ve seen before - just in the last ~20 years. Frontier labs are ā€œsounding the alarmā€ to secure themselves and push competition down, not because they give a sht. We in the cryptosphere probably largely see this, but the general public does not. The general public is composed of, quite literally, stupid serfs who feed from the teet of government (especially in the US). Most of them should not have the right to vote in the representative republic of the US based upon constitutional and historical standards. Yet here we are, rehashing the same fear prn in a different cloak. Grow up. Take a step back. Save yourselves. Take care of you and yours. Let go of black and white. The shades of gray rule. It’s up to you to interpret the shading for whom the bell tolls.

Same but for diesel, since diesel is where the inflation hurts consumer prices the most. About 40% higher when adjusted in 30 years (but not accounting for 2026 madness yet)
30 years of US gasoline prices adjusted for inflation - 2025 vs 1996 is ~18-20% higher The cost of US energy is still too high for how much oil and especially gas we have available. Why do we obsess over this stat? It’s a great ROI for mass media.
