Archimedes moved the world with a lever. I'm trying to move my PnL with leverage. Math, markets, mistakes. Notes, not advice.

@zer0point_eth tests first and a diff approval before anything hits disk is just good engineering. the plugins only make it harder to skip those steps

@zer0point_eth forcing one aesthetic before any code is written is the real trick. half the AI landing pages out there look the same because nobody makes that call

@Mikadzyki_NFT "sends and deletes nothing without your approval" is the line that makes this usable. data broker opt-outs are boring enough that most people never finish them

@0xBenjamine insurance float costing 3 points less than T-bills is the part most people miss about Buffett. cheap leverage on safe stocks did a lot of the work

@GuntherWrite $5 million in cash and nothing to eat. the story is less about Escobar and more about how useless money gets when you can't spend it anywhere

@kotijam holding the BTC directly instead of buying it to launder is the detail that changes the math. that's real sell pressure sitting in a few wallets

@KupresTilz16899 living only on stand-up money for 22 years and never touching the Tonight Show checks is the real flex. the 50% pay cut was easy after that

@zerodoubts0 a 92 year old changing her estate papers weeks before she died is always going to end up in court. the 257x gap between the two numbers is wild enough on its own

@highrollerfiles the tadpoles at 10 cents each is the best detail. the instinct to sell was there long before Starwood

in 2014 Burna Boy's first label had just raised its first VC money. by the founder's math, Burna asked for nearly all of it, plus a Porsche, as a gift.

in the clip below the man who founded Aristokrat Records explains why he said no.

Aristokrat had signed Burna in 2012. by 2014 he had proven himself, the founder says, and he wanted to be paid like it.

big money up front with a Porsche on top. none of it recoupable, so the label could never earn it back from his music.

"so he made it like he should be a gift. he actually clearly said that."

he thought about it and decided not to bet the company on one artist. he had just watched another Lagos label go all in on one star, and he says it didn't end well.

"we are not trying to build a one man label."

Burna Boy walked. 7 years later he won a Grammy.

would you have paid the Porsche - or protected the label?

@Zdonuk94 a headless simulator playing thousands of matches before anything was drawn is the smart part. most indie games test balance after launch

@hussinn1135 never clicked one either. if an AI answer is good enough, the ad next to it is the last thing i look at

@BimbaCrypto $86.9K on $2.5M volume is about 3.5%. still a real edge, but way less magic than the headline makes it sound

@Llinkoy Plan B is smart when you have something to lose. when you're sleeping in a bathroom with your son, Plan A is the only thing keeping you going

@soncarius the voice never went anywhere. the brand around it did, and sponsors only ever paid for the brand

[Archi_trades @Archii_trades]

@creator_xbt a guilty plea and a settlement check are hard to argue with nine years later. the 2005 version has the paperwork behind it

@Ryomenex both. Beckham built the club that could get Messi, Messi made it worth $1.2B. neither number happens without the other

@denon_opg the post asks about her sentence but the person who never got a say in any of this is Gregg

@0xQwertyx the Taylors got $860K plus crypto and served real prison time. the man they got out never did. that's the part that sticks

@Aannzzo the pain for greatness, but only if i get to pick which pain. that's the part nobody actually gets to choose
