Stranded by @WestJet in Cancun at midnight, no accommodation, unsafe. Next flight 1:30PM, I’ll have to miss the work. Website doesn’t work for rebooking, have to pay out-of-pocket for stay, food, taxi. No support, no backup, refunds unclear. Worst airlines ever #WestJetNightmare

[Siddhesh Mahadeshwar @_siddheesh]

Extremely disappointed with @WestJet for cancelling our Cancun to Toronto flight last minute due to ‘crew issues’, leaving us stranded without assistance. Urgent commitments tomorrow and no info on next steps. Expect better service and communication! #WestJetFail

[Siddhesh Mahadeshwar @_siddheesh]

Still waiting on accommodation from @WestJet for our cancelled Cancun-Toronto flight. No backup options, and the jet here isn’t even theirs. Absolute worst airline experience. Stranded with no clear plan. We need solutions, not excuses. #WestJetDisaster

Here’s the storytelling framework Jobs used (that you can too):

[Alex Becker 🍊🏆🥇 @ZssBecker]

Market Update : I've been a bit quiet. Mostly because I have nothing new to say. But here's my most current thoughts :

Recap : Caught the S&P bottom at 3,500 and bought crypto at that time. Sold at about 4240. Got back in on at the dip and sold 4100 (with Similar bitcoin timing). Have been out making 4-5% on my money since. My logic below.

So what's up :
Yes it stinks I missed this most recent rally. However at this point I don't think we are in a bull. I don't think the RoR is there. I don't think the market with sustain enough to make any 2021 like alt coin gains.

There could be GOOD gains on the table for GOOD traders, but nothing life changing or easy for on side non professional traders like myself.

I also dont think this is a good entry point in stocks, which I have been much better at looking at and are MOST of my interest since I am much more interested in storing large sums of money long term VS trading in and out.

The only reason I can think to buy right now is fear of missing the next bull run if it occurs. I dont see a potential to make big gains here worth the energy or risk.

AKA pretty much my same exact position since September. AKA I dont see a 2021 market brewing. I dont see some way I can pull of a quick 2-5x on a large sum of money without excessive risk.

I also dont see a time ROI that beats working on my businesses. In 2021 with heavy focus you could make millions per month with little risk. This is 100% not the case RN. There's massive risk and the gains are 2x-3xs at best in return for absolute focus.

You 100% can make money here if your a excellent trader, but that I am not nor do I think I can perform outside of outlandish bull markets...thus I will wait for one and if I'm not confident, ill just keep my money safe and making me safe money.

No one can say what will happen for sure, but my money is on
-This not sustaining
-Recession hitting later this year

Everything points to problems, war and turmoil in the economy. There is nearly no condition set up similar to 2021 other then the DESIRE for this to be 2021 again.

THAT SAID : In my video at 3500 S&P I predicted they had printed WAY to much money and that we were actually far far lower when you factor in the m2 money supply.

Frankly I should I stuck to this theory as I think that is what happened with Bitcoin.

A $1 pre 2021 = 1.5 to $2 now. Thus we actually did hit a sub $10k Bitcoin in 2020-2021 values...Which I believe is what people still judge it by.

This is false. As 15k bitcoin is actually more like a 7.5-10k bitcoin.

I nailed the S&P but really did not apply this as much as I should the same way with Bitcoin and crypto. The way Bitcoin reacted to the bank crisis also totally surprised me.

That said

I frankly do not see how with this much money flooding the market we go to 10k. Theres just to much money printed. Even if Binance and Tether go down it could be hard to get there and that would be the BIG buy chance.

I think a pull back to 22-25k is almost guaranteed, and outside world war 3 a good time to start taking long term positions IF IF IF the S&P also is pulling back as well.

I think most moonboy/non trader/holder types will just lose their money again as they always do. Gamblers always make the biggest gains and then match them with the biggest losses.

Thus I am just stacking cash from my businesses and focusing on making as much money as possible when the time comes.

THERE is IMO a 25% chance we just fuck all and go back to bull. But I think theres a 70ish% chance we are in for another big pull back in stocks and thus also in crypto...But not to 15k.

The only thing I am really looking for is the first mainstream web3 game. This will start a bull run in gaming regardless of the market. This will probably be the best shot at making STUPID X's the next 2 years or so.

That's all. I just rather get this all in one post VS beating a dead horse over and over for months.

Ok y'all. The politicians are making laws about apps and it's .... interesting.

I just finished reading the Open App Markets Act and it hits a lot of stuff. Gonna try to summarize what it covers.
