@jasonappleton I wonder if the motivation is reputation destruction or "he made my peepee move and I don't like that, he must be the one doing it to me".
🚨 WARNING: THE NEXT 48 HOURS WILL CRASH GLOBAL MARKETS!!
In 48 hours, SpaceX goes public at $1.77 TRILLION - the biggest IPO ever
I've been trading for over a decade, and I have never seen them rewrite the rulebook like this
Nasdaq, MSCI, and the biggest brokers in America all bent their own rules for ONE private company
That doesn't happen by accident
Let me show you exactly what they did:
First, Fidelity dropped its minimum account size from $500,000 to $2,000
A 99.6% cut
Think about that:
The most exclusive door on Wall Street, thrown wide open to millions of small investors - days before the biggest debut in history.
Ask yourself one question
Why do they suddenly want YOU in?
Because somebody needs people to sell to.
SpaceX reserved 30% of the deal for retail
THREE TIMES the normal share
And even then, most people didn't get a full allocation.
So to grab more at Thursday's open, they're dumping everything else TODAY to raise cash.
That's half of the selling you're seeing.
The other half? The smart money front-running July.
Here's the trick:
SpaceX doesn't join the Nasdaq 100 on day one.
It joins 15 days later, because Nasdaq cut its own waiting period from 3 months to 15 days
Just for this.
The moment it joins, every QQQ fund on Earth is FORCED to buy.
$22–27 billion in automatic buying.
Translation: imagine 50 buses all forced to pull into the same gas station on the same morning.
The funds know the stampede is coming.
So they're selling now to free up cash for it. Retail selling. Institutions selling. At the exact same time.
THAT is your selloff.
Now here's the part nobody will say out loud:
When the most connected money on the planet builds a $1.7T exit door and hands the keys to the smallest investors in the market…
That's NOT generosity
That's distribution at the top.
We've seen this movie twice:
- 2000 Dotcom
- 2021 SPAC mania
Insiders cash out at insane valuations while the crowd chases the hype.
The math ain't mathing.
So you've got two choices in the next 48 hours:
Chase the most expensive IPO in history at the open…
Or read the prospectus and realize you might BE the exit.
The next few days will be INSANE, but don't worry - I'll break down every move as it happens, like I always do.
Like it or not, I called every major top and bottom of the last decade publicly. I'll call this one too.
Many people are going to wish they followed me before June 12, 2026.
Soon, you'll understand why.
59 years ago today, Israel attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. 34 crew members were killed and 174 were wounded by the IDF.
Today, I spoke on the House floor to honor the fallen and to recognize the survivors who were present in the gallery.
J.R.R. Tolkien's original watercolor illustration of Sauron is an unfinished sketch created in 1954 and the only known depiction of Sauron drawn by Tolkien himself.
The piece was originally intended as a dust jacket design for The Return of the King. It is officially held in the Bodleian Libraries archive at the University of Oxford.
What’s happened in crypto since last year is one big Psyop to get rid of retail. Whatever the media tells you to do is known by institutions as flags to do the opposite. Money controls the narratives for retail (dumb money) to act on. Remember that and it all makes more sense.
I love the cadence of this chart
Bitcoin % of Supply in Profit/Loss
As I said previously, you start looking for major market cycle bottoms *after* they cross, not before.
They just crossed.
Such a great chart for keeping people on the right side of the market in midterm years
A dead chain doesnt have online protestors professing its dead so people will look away. Cardano has competitors, afraid of its 0 hacks, 0 downtime, interoperability with a selective privacy partner chain that mints its own gas with throughput expansions and quantum proofiing coming.
@DerekImproves@benjamincowen There are more bullish days than bearish days in bear markets. There are more bearish days than bullish days in bull markets.
@TheBeardAlmeida@philthatremains What crime was committed? First Amendment violation? That's a crime wherein the state owes restitution, not the individual.
The Henry Nowak story is very similar to the Chud the Builder story except for one salient fact: Chud was armed and able to protect himself. Both were attacked by a non, both accused of being racist (White), both attackers used this justification for the attack.
It doesn’t matter if you’re actually racist or not. Your skin color is enough to condemn you and your own people will turn on you.
A YouTuber with 110 million subscribers released a free version of ChatGPT.
His name is Felix Kjellberg. You know him as PewDiePie.
He spent his own money on a 10-GPU computer at home. He used it to run the same kind of AI models that power ChatGPT, but on his own hardware. Then he wrote his own app to chat with them, because the apps that already exist were not good enough.
Then he gave it away for free. Anyone can download it. Anyone can change it. Anyone can run it.
It's called Odysseus.
It runs on your computer. Your data stays on your disk. No account. No tracking. No monthly fee.
What you get:
- A chat window like ChatGPT
- An AI assistant that can browse the web, read your files, and do tasks for you
- A tool that scans your computer and tells you which AI models will work on it
- A research mode that reads many websites and writes you a report
- A side-by-side mode to test two AI models on the same question
- A writing editor where AI helps you, instead of writing for you
- Memory, so the AI remembers your past chats
- Email with AI that sorts your inbox and writes replies for you
- Notes, a to-do list, and a calendar
- Works on your phone too
23,612 stars on GitHub in 2 days. Top of trending all weekend.
ChatGPT Plus costs $20 a month. Claude Pro costs $20 a month. PewDiePie's version costs nothing, runs on your own computer, and the code is open for anyone to read.
This is what AI looked like before the subscription model.

The Reckless Ben and Bricks and Minifigs controversy is unreal.
Highlights:
-YouTuber inherits $200k worth of Legos from Father
-CEO of B&M Ammon McNeff buys retailer, steals Legos
-RB Requests Legos, CEO refuses, sells them instead
-RB Sues and WINS but CEO refuses to pay
-RB travels to Utah to serve the CEO Papers
-Cops show up, arrest RB, accuse him of "stealing legos" (and drugs)
-He is swatted at one point, nothing found (he didn't steal they did)
-RB is held against his will for multiple days
-RB by a stroke of LUCK, convinces judge to release him
-RB is unable to serve papers and FLEES to Mexico
-RB is now fighting to expose a MASSIVE Mormon Conspiracy of INSANE proportions (hundreds of millions) and fraud that you would not believe
(not to mention police corruption and a MORMON MAFIA)
-the CEO is risking a $400 million company/millions in damages just so he can steal $200k Legos
-Utah gets exposed as Mormon Israel.
This is the most insane case of blatant corruption, actual Mafia's and a genuine SOCIOPATH CEO (one for the medical books) I have ever seen, be advised folks, I 100% Stand With Ben and will likely investigate myself... absolutely historical/diabolical.
@2Be2Gether2@IOHK_Charles Not misinterpreted. Racism is institutionalized in UK police policy now. They went from freeing the world of slavery to subjugation of their own white populace.
@IOHK_Charles Doesn't that go against the Governance Vote? I think more marketing is always better, but I'm not looking to so quickly invalidate the vote handed to holders.
With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.
“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
