@durreadan01 I’ve seen this too many times

It’s embarrassing for Google to release this ui/ux

I can’t imagine having the time resouces and talent to get to that outcome.

Shame

@naval @joinladder @naval dreams do come true...

@NotionHQ i have to defend your worth almost daily so please help...

1. Hotkey to change text to last non-default color - was this removed? cmd + shift + h does not work
2. Links default to grey - i'm all for creating your own wave but can we make it stand out?

This seems to be the best argument as to why btc could be broken long-term and has lost the plot.

What’s the counter-factual argument to this?
@jack @maxkeiser @saylor

[0xNobler @CryptoNobler]

🚨 HERE’S WHY BITCOIN IS NONSTOP DUMPING RIGHT NOW

If you still think $BTC trades like a supply-and-demand asset, you MUST read this carefully.

Because that market no longer exists.

What you’re watching right now is not normal price action.

It’s not “weak hands.”
It’s not sentiment.
And it’s definitely not retail selling.

Most people are completely unaware what’s happening.

And by the time it becomes obvious, the damage is already done.

This move didn’t start today.
It’s been building quietly under the surface for months.

And now it’s accelerating.

Here’s the truth:

The moment supply can be synthetically created, scarcity is gone.

And when scarcity is gone, price stops being discovered on-chain and starts being set in derivatives.

That is exactly what happened to Bitcoin.

And it’s the same structural break that already happened to:
→ Gold
→ Silver
→ Oil
→ Equities

Once derivatives took over.

The original Bitcoin thesis is broken.

Bitcoin’s valuation was built on two ideas:
→ A hard cap of 21 million
→ No rehypothecation

That framework died the moment Wall Street layered this on top of the chain:
→ Cash-settled futures
→ Perpetual swaps
→ Options
→ ETFs
→ Prime broker lending
→ Wrapped BTC
→ Total return swaps

From that point forward Bitcoin supply became theoretically INFINITE.

Not on-chain.
But in price discovery, which is what actually matters.

Synthetic Float Ratio (SFR).

The metric that explains everything.

Once synthetic supply overwhelms real supply, price no longer responds to demand.

It responds to positioning, hedging, and liquidation flows.

Wall Street can now trade against Bitcoin.

They’re not guessing direction.

They’re doing what they do in every derivatives-dominated market:
1⃣ Create unlimited paper BTC
2⃣ Short into rallies
3⃣ Force liquidations
4⃣ Cover lower
5⃣ Repeat

This isn’t “betting.”

It’s inventory manufacturing.

One real BTC can now simultaneously back:
→ An ETF share
→ A futures contract
→ A perpetual swap
→ An options delta
→ A broker loan
→ A structured note

All at THE SAME TIME.

That’s six claims on one coin.

That is not a free market.

That is a fractional-reserve price system wearing a Bitcoin mask.

Ignore it if you want, but don’t pretend you weren’t warned.

I’ve been calling Bitcoin tops and bottoms for over a decade now, and I’ll do it again in 2026.

Follow and turn on notifications before it's too late.

@karrisaarinen you struck gold but now it's a "snowball feature", now we need this to work for:
- slack > personal DM, group DM's
- screenshot > share > linear agent
- App Store Connect Feedback > share > linear agent

Right now, slack is the middleman and chokehold for everything vs. “capture where I am → send → act” in one step.

[Karri Saarinen @karrisaarinen]

many such cases

Get fit and help save the planet with our new initiative, Ladder Cares 🪜🤝♻️

[Ladder @joinladder]

Big Fitness has failed you.

Every January, millions dedicate themselves to new fitness routines — only to quit weeks later.

That expensive machine, the new tech gadget, didn’t follow through on its promise.

Which is why we’re launching our newest initiative, Ladder Cares. 👷‍♂️♻️

[BG @TrueBenGammon]

If want a clear plan for strength training in 2026 and want to get jacked like @anothercohen, here's the secret 🪜

Oh and it's 100% free to try, no credit card required upfront so you have 0 to lose.

[Alex Cohen @anothercohen]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Ladder is the greatest fitness app ever made.

You pick a coach's group based on their workout style, they program your week, and you follow along with videos, timers, and logging.

It genuinely feels like having a personal trainer in your pocket.

[BG @TrueBenGammon]

@motherfuton Glad someone said it...just show the output or before / after with some context.

Instead, most portfolios look like garbage, littered with bugs and have 10,000 words per use case from 10 yrs ago.

[BG @TrueBenGammon]

@CrazyVibes_1 Love this story...

It sounds like he has a good thing going with you by his side but if he ever needs help when you're not there, happy to give him a free membership of Ladder.

Just DM me.

Whether this is good or bad for college sports, this has always felt like the next big step for NIL evolution to attract more $.

Before: donate $ to win (pride)
After: buy equity stake to win and get upside (pride + ROI)

ADs are moving from fundraising to capital formation.

In a groundbreaking endeavor, the University of Utah athletics is entering into what could be a $500M+ equity partnership with Otro Capital featuring the creation and shared ownership of a for-profit entity to operate athletics, sources tell @YahooSports.
