Just launched a fundraiser to honor the beautiful life of Maria Emelda Estrellado, who brought warmth and love to everyone around her. We’re aiming to give her a heartfelt farewell in the Philippines, but we need your support to cover funeral and memorial expenses. Even a share or a small donation can help us celebrate her memory and bring her family comfort during this difficult time. Please consider helping us honor her life with kindness and community. https://t.co/4lJsMaGJDN
Life cycle of a profitable trader:
Year 1 - studying 47 indicators, taking 30 trades a day, wondering why nothing works.
Year 2 - strips it back, picks 3 tickers, still losing but starting to see patterns.
Year 3 - first consistent month. Tells everyone. Sizes up. Gives it all back.
Year 4 - shuts up, goes quiet, does the work alone.
Year 5 - withdrawing every week, routine locked in, boring as hell.
Year 6 - people start asking what you do for a living.
Year 7 - retires his parents.
Year 8 - lives life on his terms. Nobody saw it coming except him.
LEAPS are the best way for an average investor to grow their wealth exponentially.
DO NOT buy leaps if you don’t understand these 10 concepts:
1. What is a LEAP?
A call option with at least 1 year until expiration. You're buying the right to own 100 shares at a set price. Time is the edge.
2. Intrinsic vs extrinsic value
Intrinsic = how far in the money you are. Extrinsic = the time premium you're paying. Know what you're paying for before you buy.
3. Delta
The higher the delta, the more your LEAP moves with the stock. Deep ITM = high delta, safer. OTM = low delta, more leverage, more risk.
4. Theta decay
Time decay accelerates as expiration approaches. That's why you buy 1+ year out. The further out you go, the slower the bleed.
5. IV and IV crush
High implied volatility = expensive premiums. Buying a LEAP before earnings or a major event means you're overpaying. Buy when IV is low.
6. Strike selection
Deep ITM for safety. ATM for balance. One strike OTM for asymmetry. There's no one-size-fits-all. Match the strike to your conviction.
7. Break-even price
Strike + premium paid = your break even at expiration. But you don't need to hold to expiration. Most LEAP profits are taken well before.
8. Position sizing
LEAPs are leveraged. One bad position can set you back months. Size like you could lose the entire premium. Never put more than 10% of your total portfolio in LEAPs combined.
9. When to enter
The best entries come at key support levels or oversold conditions. Not at all-time highs. Not the day before earnings. Patience on entry is half the trade.
10. When to exit
If the thesis breaks, get out. If the thesis is intact and you're winning, let it work. If expiration is approaching and you're near the money, make a plan early. Don't let a winner turn into a loss because you didn't pay attention.
LEAPs reward patience, conviction, and discipline. Without all three, they're just expensive lottery tickets.
I totally agree. My mom’s phones has been missing since 11/7/25 and was located at a walmart kiosk. She went to the walmart the next day escorted with the sheriffs and her phone was already picked up and sent to their warehouse.
Customer service even asked if she had another IMEI number than the one given!? We’re still waiting for a response.
🧵 The Mystery of $XRP Escrow 🔒
Most people in crypto think they know what Ripple’s escrow is.
Few actually understand it.
Let’s break down what it is, why it exists, how it works, and why it’s one of the most misunderstood parts of XRP’s story.

Some weeks feel like months in crypto...this was one of them. From the @WhiteHouse Crypto Summit to the @CFTC CEO Roundtable and the sheer amount of news announced (hooray for @NatCryptoAssoc!), it’s been quite a few days.
There’s been a lot of talk about what this White House has and will prioritize with their crypto agenda - most importantly, regulatory clarity through Congressional action, as well as a BTC reserve & crypto stockpile, support for stablecoin innovation backed by US Treasuries, and more.
I was extremely pleased to see the incredible support from this administration.
It’s easy to get lost in some of the maxi-induced noise, but there’s so much more to this industry than the infighting and one coin versus another time-wasting rhetoric.
We will – as we’ve always done -- continue to champion the need for a level playing field (and it was great to hear others in the room echo this as well!) and for the industry to come together to move much needed legislation forward in the US.
An incredible THANK YOU to @realdonaldtrump for opening and welcoming us to the White House (amazing contrast to the the hostility of the Biden administration), @davidsacks47 and @BoHines for a truly historic Summit, and @carolinedpham for hosting us at the CFTC!
