@WealthCoachMak The software and intelligence models have no moat. Hardware, infrastructure, etc are the rate limiters and will be for some time. So NVDA, yes. GOOG, not so much.

Last night, the House chose to stand with Ukraine, and I was proud to cast my vote.
We passed military and reconstruction aid for Ukraine, plus hard new sanctions on Russia.
We did it over the objections of Mike Johnson and Republican leadership, who spent over a year trying to keep this bill from ever hitting the floor.
Eighteen Republicans crossed the aisle and did the right thing.
Why does this matter?
Because when a giant authoritarian state invades a smaller democracy, there is no gray area. There is no “both sides.”
Vladimir Putin is a thug. He started an unprovoked war. He flattened cities. He stole children from their families. Helping Ukraine isn’t charity. It’s the test of whether we still mean a single word we say about freedom.
I heard every excuse. The war’s winding down, they said, so let’s wait and see. Nonsense. You don’t strengthen a democracy by going wobbly the second things get hard. You don’t stop the next invasion by telling the world American resolve comes with an expiration date. Putin is watching. So is every dictator who dreams of taking what isn’t his by force.
This bill still has to clear the Senate and survive a presidential signature. The odds are long. But the House did its job. And we said it plainly: no country gets swallowed whole just because a tyrant wants it.
I’ll keep fighting to see this through. Ukraine’s fight is our fight, and we do not abandon our friends.

You need to watch this interview with Jamie Dimon and understand how incredibly important the Clarity Act is for the banks to maintain absolute power over the people.
Jamie Dimon (aka the God King of fiat) speaks for the banks they are about to lose control to Bitcoin and crypto.
This is the single most important event in the institutionalization of crypto since the spot Bitcoin ETF was approved in January of 2024.
There are compromises being made on both the crypto lobbyist side as well as TradFi banking — Dimon does not want to compromise — he wants the banks to maintain absolute control like they have for decades — why wouldn’t he?
I am not a huge fan of Coinbase but Brian Armstrong is spearheading this campaign (with significant incentives) to offer a better opportunity for all investors in the U.S. and in crypto largely.
Dimon is trying to stifle innovation and Armstrong is pushing for it. Everyone should be rallying behind Coinbase and Brian right now — Dimon looks like a buffoon showing up on FOX to say he is “full of sh*t”.
This will eventually blow up in his face. The race to adopt crypto is much bigger than any one person, even Jamie Dimon. You cannot stop a technology whose time has come.
When the technology ultimately benefits the common person, those standing in the way of freedom technology will soon be run over.
@gillie_david@_The_Prophet__ When I take a walk in the woods, enjoy nature anywhere, and see what is yet unspoiled, that's the data I rely on. Our best decisions are based on gut. My gut tells me I'd rather see humankind taper off.
Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.
RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!
@gillie_david@_The_Prophet__ "Do the research" is a wonderfully presumptive, condescending comment.
'Read the research funded by (fill in the blank with your favorite conflicted name corporation) and then follow blindly (without critical reasoning)'... that's how I interpret your quip.
Less is more.
@GlobalCollapse@jiahanjimliu@scludweed It depends on what you consider safe. When you are retired, and when you are considering scaling out anyway, at these prices, collecting Theta on weeklies makes a ton of sense.
So - I think it depends on your situation. Cheers!
