I’m 20 years old, still a university student.

Before this dispute, I was one of the top 10 YES holders in the Polymarket MicroStrategy market. I lost around 35,000 USDC because I trusted the written rule.

The rule said YES if MicroStrategy sold Bitcoin by May 31.

It did not say the sale had to be publicly disclosed by May 31.

That is the whole issue.

🚨 Government paid nearly $1 BILLION for a simple 10-question SurveyMonkey-style poll on national parks.

No feedback loop, zero results — just pure waste. Dems attack DOGE but can't name one cut they disagree with. Pathetic.

Trump + Musk exposing what the swamp hid for decades.

This is YOUR money. DOGE is hunting it down daily at $4B/day pace. Share if you're done funding stupidity!

What's your response to this......??👀

Do you support this?

A. Yes
B. No

I’ll be sharing some LEAP options trade alerts that I believe could create massive long-term opportunities for everyone here.

If you’re ready for it, like this post, comment “LEAP,” and repost.

Mark Cuban recently outlined the #1 way to get rich during the AI gold rush.

He's been through every technological evolution, and he says THIS is the biggest opportunity of them all.

Every small & mid-sized company will soon need AI agents, and NONE of those business owners will know how to implement them.

His advice: learn Claude, learn agentic workflows, learn AI. Then walk into underserved businesses and solve their bottlenecks with AI.

He compares this to when he was 24 and helped companies learn computers/PCs.

Huge opportunity.

.@DriftProtocol are honestly some of the biggest shitbags in crypto and no one should ever trade on their exchange ever again. Raise 53m, spend it on the most retardedly expensive and useless bd and promotion. somehow only have 3.8m left in protocol funds (read: user deposited funds, not company funds) to fund a pool for 300m in debt they created themselves by being negligent on security (which they never admit to). Create a recovery pool which they know will never make users whole with a recovery mechanism that forces users neededing liquidty to sell their claims at fractions of pennies on the dollar.

at the end of the the day the founders sit on 53m raised and well more offloaded in 25% of the allocated supply of drift to team. Funds mainly used to pay salaries to team or to aquire users that lost all their money. Going forward none of the remaining funds go to making users whole, instead they will continue to spend in a futile attempt to run a dead business and when everything finally ends the founders will walk away well compensated while the users will hold near worthless recovery rights to a pool of funds built by their trading fees

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announces new changes for military contractors

- Bureaucrats will no longer be able to negotiate defense contracts
-Defense companies now just pay to build their own factories, their own factory expansions, assembly lines, and manufacturing plants instead of taxpayers
- Companies that fail to deliver will be held responsible
- Companies that fail to deliver may be replaced with new contractors
- Defense companies can no longer have taxpayers pay to built their factories and then charge us for the product
- No more cost overruns (this is huge)

“It's simple. We're putting the American taxpayer first by offering you a better deal. We now move at the speed of business, not bureaucracy”

A lot of bureaucrats that have been getting filthy rich off deals are going to be pissed

A kid drew himself sleeping in bed between mom and dad and labeled it 'safe.'

In Japan, this exact sleeping arrangement has a name. They call it 'the river.' Mother is one bank. Father is the other. The child between them is the water. Roughly 70% of Japanese mothers sleep this way with their kids, sometimes through the teenage years. The Western model of putting a kid alone in their own bedroom is barely 200 years old. For most of human history, in most cultures still alive today, kids slept beside their parents.

James McKenna runs the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Lab at Notre Dame. He spent decades watching what happens when parents and kids share a bed. The bodies sync up. Heart rates align with the parent's, breathing falls into the same rhythm, and by morning even sleep stages have started matching. The parent's body, in McKenna's words, acts as a kind of biological jumper cable for the child's.

In 2013, researchers in the Netherlands tracked 193 babies through the first year of life. They measured cortisol, the brain's main stress hormone. Babies who had spent more weeks co-sleeping in the first six months produced less cortisol under stress at 12 months. Sleeping near a parent had rewired the kid's stress system to be calmer under pressure.

Inside the kid's brain at night, the amygdala, the fear alarm, gets more sensitive as the body gets tired. Darkness makes it worse. A 2021 paper in PLoS One from Australian researchers showed that light directly suppresses amygdala activity. Lights off, alarm louder. The whole brain is wired to read 'alone in a dark room' as a threat.

Now add a parent's body to that bed. The kid's nervous system reads warm body, breathing nearby, familiar smell. The threat alarm dials down. Two parents on either side dial it down twice. The drawing is the kid's brain calculating maximum safety: I am surrounded by the people who keep me alive, and nothing can reach me without going through them first.

The arrangement in this drawing is what most of human history called 'sleeping.' Sleeping the kid alone in another room is a 200-year-old Western invention that we forgot was an invention. Every kid who has ever padded into your room at 3am and crawled into the middle of the bed is just trying to redraw the picture.

Want to know how ridiculous and awful Ins company and their PBM denials are?

The insurance company that denies the claim, that is if it’s them and not a subcontractor like medica , also picked the network and doctors.  

So they are saying the network, that they sold to plan holders as being great, isn’t good enough for them to trust enough to determine your care.

And on top of that, they charge to appeal denials. Which is a problem for many people.  That should be illegal. 

And on top of that 60 pct of plan holders have plans from self insured employers.  It’s the company’s money.  

But the ceo has no idea that the carrier they hired to authorize care , may have denied life or death care.   They don’t know that for some amount of money they may be able to save the life or maintain the health  of an employee or their family. 

Require all TPAs to inform the CSuite of all critical denials , same day 

They Are Too Big to Care.
Break Up Big Medicine.

🚨PARAMOUNT JUST DROPPED A NUKE ON WOKE HOLLYWOOD — HIRED VINCE VAUGHN & MARK WAHLBERG TO CREATE A FULL LINEUP OF RAW, UNFILTERED, NON-WOKE TV SHOWS FOR REAL FUCKING AMERICANS!

Follow @UnmaskTheSys

After years of being force-fed tranny propaganda, DEI lectures, and limp-dick liberal garbage, the studio finally woke up and said “enough.”

Vince and Mark are now personally running script development across every major genre, making sure the silent majority gets the balls-to-the-wall entertainment they actually deserve.

Paramount Programming Director Jon Raebro didn’t sugarcoat it: “Vince and Mark will oversee script development…
They’re determined to provide our audience — which is a heavy majority of Americans — with the entertainment they deserve.”

“We have 100 percent faith in them.”This is the beginning of the great Hollywood purge.

The woke cancer is getting cut out, and two based alphas are leading the charge.

Share this everywhere if you’re fucking pumped to finally get TV that doesn’t hate you!

Follow @mcafeenew for more drops.

Tether just bailed out Drift. Chad move.

I always preferred USDC because of its supposedly 'safer' status.

Yet it was USDC that experienced the largest depeg, while USDT’s depegs were minor (in recent history).

Plus, Circle failed to freeze hacked funds, despite being able to do so.

Tether moves faster in cases like these.

Maybe Tether is actually a safer option for retail users.

But thanks to the EU MiCA laws that Circle lobbied for, EU users can’t use USDT.

Smart.

Circle is being sued for allegedly allowing North Korean hackers to move $230 million in stolen USDC after the Drift Protocol hack.

[Moo | Elemental @moothefarmer]

/start_rant

I’ve spent the last 4 years obsessing over one thing:

--> Trust <--

Not marketing. Not TVL. Not hype.

--> Trust <--

We designed Elemental’s architecture from the ground up with paranoia. Tight opsec. Conservative security assumptions. Even down to personal decisions, I’ve EVEN avoided unnecessary moderately "risky" activities (bungee jumping, skydiving, etc) because key-man risk is real in this space.

That’s the level of discipline required. That's the level of sacrifice needed.

And yet, none of that mattered when @DriftProtocol
went down.

Let’s be clear. This wasn’t just “a sophisticated DPRK attack”.

That’s the EASY narrative.

The raw truth is this: Basic security UTTERLY, ROYALY, DISGUSTINGLY, failed.

A 2/5 multisig + signing devices freely downloading external apps?

For a protocol managing hundreds of millions, that’s pure negligence. As your protocol grows, your security standards must scale faster than your TVL.

Drift didn’t.

The result?

Countless users lost huge swaths of money. A number lost life savings.

Many projects got hit and I know a handful probably will not survive this.

Even seemingly unrelated protocols took damage:
@kamino 's Sentora vault alone saw ~$220m exit in a flash. @JupiterExchange 's JLP dropped ~$160m.

And the worst part?
I’ve had countless users tell me they’re leaving DeFi entirely. Not just @solana DeFi. They're exiting DeFi entirely and going to put their money back in banks.

That's insanity. We literally spent all of our effort trying to build a better future of finance, and then Drift bombed us back to the stone age.

And I don’t even blame these users. Trust, once broken, is almost impossible to regain.

Leadership matters most in moments like this. Mistakes happen. They always will. I’ll likely mess up somewhere, someday too. I am, after all, human.

But silence? Deflection? Delegating responsibility instead of owning it?

That’s a complete bankruptcy of character.

@cindyleowtt has said almost nothing aside from: "Today has been an extraordinarily difficult day for Drift. I’m incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from the community."

No apology. No remorse. No accountability.

@davijlu is even worse. Zero posts.

They pushed everything onto their BD staff, Tracy, to handle communications.

I’ve only heard from Tracy. Nothing from David. Nothing from Cindy. In fact, nothing from anyone in Drift’s leadership.

This is a live masterclass in gross management failure. Utter incompetence.

Realistically, given how DeFi operates and how most teams are structured, it’s unlikely there will be any meaningful legal recourse for users.

I’m not a lawyer, so I could be wrong. But I do hope karma comes at them, full force.
