1/ When Edward @Snowden spoke at Bitcoin2024 last week, he asked a question that lodged like a tumor in my brain. To paraphrase:
“Does the world and the U.S. election feel normal to you?”
When he was a kid, he said... 🧵👇
Elon Musk fired 80% of Twitter (6500 people) and everyone thought that Twitter was doomed.
He was right. Everyone was wrong.
It’s the management masterclass of the decade and every entrepreneur must understand why it worked 🧵:
It's officially been two weeks since ChatGPT4 Vision started rolling out.
My prediction was right, Multimodal AI is about to disrupt SO many sectors.
Here are 14 of the most shocking examples that prove it:
10 Mental Models that will level up your Thinking:
1. First Principle Thinking - Rethink the problem from the ground up.
Separate the underlying facts from assumptions made based on them.
2. Second-Order Thinking - Instead of thinking about the immediate consequences, think about the second-level consequences.
3. Inversion - Look at the problem at hand from the endpoint instead of the starting point.
Don't ask: "What do I need to do?"
Ask: "What must I avoid?"
4. Opportunity Costs - Think about the costs that arise because you decide in favor of one option and thus against every other option.
5. Randomness - Keep in mind that there aren't always cause-effect relationships.
Lots of stuff is random.
6. Leverage - “Give me a lever long enough and I shall move the world.” - Archimedes
7. Margin of Safety - Assume that your assumptions can be wrong and plan with a safety margin.
8. Occam's Razor - Always choose the less complex explanation/option.
"Never multiply unnecessarily."
9. Law of Diminishing Returns - Up to a certain point, additional units offer more value.
But there's a turning point where additional units offer less and less value and costs rise.
10. Niches - Specializing is an effective way to success. Use it and choose a niche where you become an expert.
What Mental Model helps you the most?

The most anticipated liquidity drain from markets is here, with many headlines foreseeing turbulence ahead. Yet, its effects might not deliver the impact many believe. Hidden forces have emerged, acting against a liquidity squeeze. The “Transitory Pause” is here... 1/
2 things we've NEVER seen in #Bitcoins 14 year life are happening🚨
What happened EXACTLY 2 yrs ago on June 5th, 2021, is responsible for both...
Let me explain why these 2 metrics prove the nation-state BTC race has begun with my 2ND thread on El Salvador for the day🧵🇸🇻

An AI-powered Brain-Spine Interface (BSI) helps a paralyzed man to WALK AGAIN!
In a medical breakthrough, Swiss researchers used AI to enable a paralyzed man to walk again after 12 years 🤯
This AI-powered BSI decodes and translates the brain signals into commands for muscle movement.
The technology involves surgically implanted electrodes and a headset with external antennas, allowing the patient to walk, climb ramps, and even stairs with an average accuracy rate of 74% and a latency as low as 1.1 sec!
Consider what this means and the potential implications:
- Restoration of mobility for millions of paralyzed individuals.
- Novel, personalized medical treatments powered by AI.
- Accelerating progress in neuroprosthetics and AI-driven healthcare.
AI is not only just transforming healthcare, it's quite literally enabling individuals to walk again!
