ZCASH ZEC no way

Zcash $ZEC was allegedly exploited by Claude Opus 4.8 and is down 25% today

If they release Mythos, we might see a bloodbath across the entire crypto sector

In 1943, Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann accidentally absorbed a tiny amount of LSD through his fingertips and spent the afternoon mildly hallucinating at his desk. Three days later he accidentally took 10 times than the standard recreational dose.

He drank what he believed was a cautiously small dose, and unknowingly took ten times a modern recreational amount with no frame of reference whatsoever.

At precisely 4:20pm on April 19, Hofmann dissolved 250 micrograms in water and drank it.

By 5:00pm his lab journal entries were deteriorating. Dizziness. Anxiety. Visual disturbance. Writing became impossible.

He asked his assistant to take him home. Wartime Basel had banned private cars, so the only option was a bicycle.

He spent the ride convinced his neighbour was a witch and that he had gone permanently insane. April 19 is now celebrated annually as Bicycle Day.

Hofmann later discovered that 20 to 30 micrograms were sufficient for noticeable effects. He had taken more than twelve times that amount.

He lived to 102, took small doses for the rest of his life, and called LSD his "problem child." He never regretted discovering it.

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.

You know those terrifying charts that show how "right now" looks sorta like some scary time in the past? Well, this one is a fucking doozy.

The blue line below is the most recent 67 days. The red line is statistically the single most similar 67 day period in stock market history...early Summer 1929. I shit you fucking not.

And you're thinking..."hey, we still have time until it peaked back then." Sure do. And when does that 1929 peak correspond to 2026?

How about *exactly* July OpEx (7/17/26).

HELP ME, ODDSTATS. I'M SCARED AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Panic. That's what. Freak the absolute fuck out and sell everything. Buy as many puts as you can.

Be afraid, be very afraid.
They're heeee-ere.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water.
You'll believe an elephant can fly.

But seriously, remember that as scary as this is, 1929 was very different from today. Only men were allowed to trade stocks then. Electricity and the female orgasm hadn't even been invented yet.

We'll probably be fine this time. Maybe.

That’s because AMZN at $225 is a great spot to own if triggered. And premium on those puts jumped today. Great trade idea.

Well past time for this to go.

It doesn’t affect me, but the PDT rule was never about protection. Glad to see it go.

T-minus one day. A decades-old trading barrier is going away. 👀

Interesting drop on CRWD. There’s structure just below, see if we get a base there. Can look for reversal possibly. Splits are tricky but this is just the news not the event.

luckily bookmark rot is an easy problem to fix now

here's how to turn every X bookmark you've ever saved into a second brain your agent has full context on:

1. export your bookmarks. i use twitter-web-exporter (free userscript) or the BookmarkSave extension. you get one file with every bookmark + the full text + the author + the link

2. drop that file into a folder. if you already run an llm wiki / obsidian vault, drop it straight in so your bookmarks join the rest of your knowledge

3. point your agent at the folder (claude code, codex, hermes, whatever you run) and tell it: "read this export and turn every bookmark into its own markdown note with the original link and a couple of topic tags"

that's it, your agent has read all of it.

now you can ask "what have i saved about pricing" or "pull everything i bookmarked on claude code" and it answers across the whole pile

takes maybe 10 minutes

after that they actually get used, and every new bookmark folds into the same brain instead of rotting in a tab you never open again

During WW2, some American high schoolers were working for companies like Lockheed Martin helping support wartime manufacturing.

When you watch interviews of teenagers from the 1940s–1960s and compare them to modern TikTok brainrot culture and the difference in maturity, vocabulary, and composure feels surreal
