@drewlevin Man always thought riot being vocal on account bans/punishment would improve the level of solo queue.
I would like to say I was so wrong lmao. Ocenia is still a cesspool. Please SoS.
I’ve seen way too many concerning DMs in the last 24 hours.
I’m BEGGING you - PLEASE be more careful with your money. The upside might feel limitless, but the downside is very real. You only have so much capital.
Protect it.
Some of you seriously need gambling addiction help.
If you thought the recent memecoin liquidity scams were bad, just wait until the market maker scheme unravels.
Here’s how it works:
Market makers secure loans to acquire tokens at a discount. They offload those tokens for a hefty profit, driving prices down, triggering liquidations, and effectively nuking the chart.
Once the price bottoms out, they quietly buy back at a lower cost. Then, when the project finally lands its exchange listings, the price rebounds, and market makers dump again at the top.
Here’s the kicker - by securing those listings within a year, they sidestep high strike fees. The result? A perfectly legal rinse-and-repeat cycle where market makers and exchanges win every time - at the retail investor’s expense.
At this point, I don’t think this is a conspiracy. I’m just waiting for the house of cards to collapse.
@DrewPavlou The IRONY IS THAT the USA, Britain and Russia sanctioned ukraine to take their nuclear weapons away on the promise "TO NEVER INVADE".
Lesson here is if you dont stock nuclear weapons XD your country is a joke.
Japan said Monday it will allow Taiwanese who marry a Japanese to list the individual's place of origin as #Taiwan, instead of China, in Japan's family registry system.

🥟 Dim sum with old friend back in town for meetings. Her family makes car parts in China and Malaysia.
They looked into building a factory in the U.S. some years ago but it would take too long and cost too much. I asked if it would help now with advances in automation, political support for reshoring and co-investors from the U.S. who want to do a JV.
Even with all that it would be difficult because her car parts rely on other components from around the world. The cost of producing her parts in USA and needing to import all the components would still price her out of the market and clients want the cheapest price.
They were thinking of setting up in Mexico like her competitors did but opted for Malaysia since it’s more cost effective to source the little parts from China.
Now her competitors who set up in Mexico are a bit screwed because the Trump tariffs are going to make it too expensive which defeated the purpose of setting up in Mexico and the clients are calling her in Malaysia.
This is a reminder of how interconnected the global supply chain is and why tariff wars complicate things further.
reminder that @deepseek_ai spent just over $5.57 million to train their DeepSeek-V3 model, which is what META pays five senior AI researchers in one year.
LITERALLY HOW????
As someone else who spends a lot of time providing public goods...
The burnout is real.
Every single time I do degen shit and make more money by pressing two or three buttons than by working hard and providing a good service, it makes me want to fold.
