8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

We are living through fascinating times.

On one hand, there is optimism everywhere. Entrepreneurs are pushing the limits for what is possible with technology. There are significant leaps happening in artificial intelligence, bitcoin, drones, genetics, medicine, robots, rockets, self-driving cars, and much more.

On the other hand, there is pessimism everywhere. Various governments are increasing their surveillance of citizens and degrading basic human rights. Free speech is under attack in multiple countries, politics has become a competition of elementary insults, birth rates are declining, home affordability is horrendous, and the wealth inequality gap continues to widen.

This is an important moment in history. Optimism must prevail. Hope is an essential ingredient for humans to be motivated to improve the world around them.

The interesting thing about hope and optimism is that it is simultaneously an individual and group endeavor.

You control your outlook on the future. The more optimism you hold, the higher likelihood your actions will lead to meaningful change.

But optimism is contagious. It spreads like wildfire through a team, a community, and society. People are inspired by the dreamers and innovators among us.

The future can be brighter than the past. It just requires intelligent, hard-working people to have the courage to act.

There is no better time to start than now.

This is excellent. Kyle Bass breaks everything down in 5 minutes.

He thinks switching the Treasury auctions from long duration bonds to t-bills enabled the Treasury to throw another $2 trillion of liquidity into the market.

He then gets into the Yen/carry trade. 👇👇

VanEck filing for a Solana ETF is further proof that altcoins are coming to Wall Street.

Crypto is helping bring volatility and risk back to public markets.

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

Webb uncovered ~80 supernovae in a patch of sky the thickness of a grain of rice held at arm’s length. This included several Type Ia supernovae, which are so predictably bright that they are used as a standard to measure distances and calculate the universe's expansion rate.

The Wisconsin state pension fund has purchased $100 million of the Blackrock bitcoin ETF.

There will be many more.

The reason waves foam when they crash is because of plankton. Millions of plankton, each opening a tiny bottle of champagne to celebrate another successful wave.

What if an investor with unlimited capital announced a program to acquire 450 $BTC daily at the market price for the next four years and hold the asset forever? What if they increased their purchases to 675 BTC daily in 2028, and to 787.5 BTC daily in 2032? #BitcoinHalving.

Me: Imagine if every tear was an egg and every time you started crying there was 10-50 broken eggs on you. You leave a funeral and it’s like “crunch crunch crunch” (if the person was beloved).

Genie: That's your wish?

Me: No, we're just talking. Just being Friends right now.

When the Gold ETF got approved they increased the supply to get more gold to the market. The demand for #bitcoin is going parabolic, and meanwhile the supply will be cut in half in 44 days. Humans have not seen this before.

[Coinbase 🛡️ @coinbase]

@APompliano @Matt_Hougan Here for it.

[James Seyffart @JSeyff]

The #Bitcoin ETFs are absolutely demolishing their prior trading volume record from day 1. We're at $6.28 billion and there's still 90 minutes left of trading ...

Blackrock has already gobbled 3% of your coins

10%+ soon

You aren’t bullish enough

Higher for longer until you puke

[Will @WClemente]

Blackrock, Fidelity, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs are all soon going to be promoting Bitcoin to their clients and incorporating it in portfolio construction.

You had 15 years to front run the institutions; a new era for the asset class begins next week.

The system is broken.

It’s time to update the system.
