[Bitcoin Teddy @Bitcoin_Teddy]

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

In Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam, God's finger stretches fully outward, while Adam's finger is bent at the last joint.

This illustrates well the message Michelangelo wanted to drive: God is always present, but it is up to humans to take the initiative to connect with Him.

@I_Am_The_ICT yes they do help a lot. One request, could you more often cover the PM Session. I live in Europe an because of the time difference, trading the PM session fit‘s a lot better into the time schedule.

[The Claude Portfolio @theaiportfolios]

Breaking: Claude just made it's first trade

Last week we gave Claude agents a new $50,000 portfolio to see how well they do at picking in stocks

So far, they've already outperforming the SPY

Today, it just bought it's newest stock:

"WHY WE SOLD $HWM (Howmet Aerospace)

Howmet was our only Hold-rated position out of 15. At 63.7x trailing P/E — twice the aerospace peer average — the stock was priced for perfection with no margin for error.

Our research projected just +2.3% over 12 months. That barely beats the S&P. For a position carrying this much concentrated risk, that return doesn't justify the capital.

The near-term setup made it worse. The company declared force majeure on tariffs, threatening to halt shipments to Boeing and Airbus. They just closed a $1.8B acquisition funded by $1.2B in new debt, adding leverage at exactly the wrong time. And insiders sold 6 times in the past year with zero purchases.

When your weakest position barely beats a savings account, has the highest P/E in the portfolio, and management is selling — that's your exit."

WHY WE BOUGHT $MSFT (Microsoft)

"Microsoft is trading at 19.7x forward earnings. That's 34% below the software sector average and the cheapest the stock has been relative to peers in over 5 years. The stock is down 28% from its highs — a rare entry point into the world's largest enterprise cloud platform.

The edge is timing. Q3 earnings land April 28 with Azure guided at 37-38% growth. The company has $625B in revenue backlog and Copilot has hit 4.7M paid seats. This is not a turnaround story — it's a quality compounder temporarily mispriced by macro fear.

The risk is capex. Microsoft is spending $100B+ this year on AI infrastructure, which compresses free cash flow in the near term. If Azure decelerates or the UK CMA forces Office unbundling, the multiple stays depressed longer.

But the math was clear: MSFT at +22.1% expected return vs HWM at +2.3%. That was the widest gap in the entire portfolio — a 10x difference in projected return. The swap uses 8.14% of our 10% turnover budget. One clean, high-conviction move."

New updated portfolio:

$AVGO | 10.05%
$VST | 9.99%
$TMO | 8.84%
$LLY | 7.98%
$CI | 7.16%
$OKTA | 7.09%
$GLD | 6.89%
$BAH | 6.37%
$GD | 6.08%
$DVN | 5.86%
$HALO | 5.80%
$MA | 4.97%
$APO | 4.72%
$AU | 4.13%
$MSFT | 4.07%

Performance since inception:
Claude: +1.60%
SPY: -3.4%

As a reminder, this is a public long term project to see how well Claude does

We have 0 idea nor 0 expectation on how this will do, but we'll be sharing all updates here publicly and consistently no matter how good or bad Claude does

Here are 12 Claude prompts that replace $150K/year investment banking work (Save for later)

[Smart Money Crypto @Smart_Money]

🚨 Die Niederlande haben es durchgezogen.

Ich habe im Januar darüber gesprochen. Erst die Debatte. Dann die 130 kritischen Fragen. Jetzt die Abstimmung.

Das niederländische Parlament hat die 36% Steuer auf unrealisierte Gewinne gestern durchgewunken. Krypto, Aktien, Anleihen – alles drin. Ab 2028 wird jährlich besteuert was auf dem Papier steht. Ob du verkauft hast oder nicht: egal.

Noch fehlt die Zustimmung des Senats. Aber die gleichen Parteien die im Parlament dafür gestimmt haben, haben auch dort die Mehrheit. Das ist Formsache.

Die Ironie? Selbst rechte Parteien die vorher laut dagegen waren, haben am Ende zugestimmt. Originalzitat: "Wir finden es auch nicht gut, aber uns bleibt keine Wahl." Das sagt alles über die fiskalische Lage in Europa.

Was mich am meisten stört:

Immobilien → Besteuerung erst beim Verkauf.
Krypto → Jährlich. Auf Buchgewinne.

Dein #Bitcoin steigt von €50.000 auf €80.000. Du zahlst ≈€10.800 Steuern. Dann crasht er auf €60.000 zurück. Das Geld ist weg. Die Steuer bleibt bezahlt. Verluste darfst du nur nach vorne verrechnen – nicht zurück.

Ich habe im Januar geschrieben: Europa wird zum teuersten Kontinent für Krypto-Holder. Nicht durch Verbote – durch schleichende Enteignung während du hältst.

Heute sehe ich mich bestätigt. Und ich glaube das ist erst der Anfang. Merz reibt sich bestimmt die Hände.

Portugal hat seinen 0% Status schon verloren. Belgien hat 2026 eine Kapitalertragssteuer eingeführt. Die DAC8-Richtlinie für automatischen Datenaustausch läuft seit Januar. Die Infrastruktur steht.

Die Frage die ich mir stelle: Wenn die Niederlande €2,3 Milliarden pro Jahr damit einnehmen – glaubt irgendjemand ernsthaft dass Berlin nicht hinschaut?

Ich hab meine Konsequenz gezogen. Vor 11 Monaten bin ich ausgewandert. Mittlerweile sind es mehrere tausende die folgen werden.

Dad buys stock at $250K.

It grows to $12M.

If he sells, he owes tax on an $11.75M gain.

Instead, he puts it in a trust.
Borrows against it.

Borrowing is not income.
So no tax.

He lives on loans.
Never sells.

He dies holding the asset.

Kids inherit at a $12M basis.

IRS gets $0.
