I think many of you don't understand the literal order of magnitude this guy is ahead of everyone
To become a billionaire at 26
Imagine Leo Messi scoring more goals than the next 10 best players in the world cup combined
Mike Tyson beating the next 10 boxers combined
That's what this is
There are exactly zero people who could potentially be the next MrBeast
Literally zero people come close to this right now
The level of obsession
Thinking in 2nd and 3rd order consequences
Hiring
Risk taking
Absolute devotion to the craft
To look at an industry that produces a few millionaires
And think hey actually everyone is wrong
Let me show everyone how to actually play this game
And build a multi billion dollar company
Everyone retires at $10m
This guy probably took out a loan at $10m lifetime revenue because he already spent the $10m on content and needed another $500k
We look at it now and think it's a clear path
But when you're the first person in history to do anything of this scale in a new industry
You have to have an insanely strong mind to keep going when literally everyone thinks you're wrong
As creators we all experienced some level of this
But this is just different
And the fact he's dropping knowledge for 18 minutes straight
Probably more valuable than some $100k degrees
The richest guy on Earth SHOULD be the guy making cutting edge cars and rockets instead of dudes who sell purses and perfumes or dudes who run investment firms or dudes who made Facebook.

TLDR: We’re growing faster, stronger and more profitable than ever but we’re cutting 40% of our workforce because AI can do more. BTC will do the same to the SWIFT and Tradfi ecosystem 🤡
we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.
####
today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.
first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.
we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.
i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.
a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.
we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.
to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.
to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.

Dear Satoshi Nakamoto,
If you:
* are still alive
* still have your keys
* don't intend to spend your BTC
It would be immensely helpful to the ecosystem if you'd send your early mined coins to a burn address.
Wait so Saylor borrowed a bunch of money to buy something that doesn't produce any cashflow at all in the hopes that more people buy it and it gets more valuable?
Not going to end well.
Let me rephrase:
Ledger, a French security company has been breached multiple times which resulted in its customers private data being leaked has lead to targeted thefts and millions stolen.
Current products have major issue like the battery for the Ledger Nano X.
Now Ledger plans to max extract more via US IPO after recently announcing they will also charge a % for clear signing.
People often say that the developing world is poor because the Western world colonized them and stole their resources.
The truth, however, is that over the past century, the developing world has, for the most part, shown that they are completely incapable of harnessing their own resources. They are not poor because we stole from them. They are poor because they do not know how to run and administer their own countries, resources be damned.
Take Venezuela. The world's largest oil reserves mean nothing if you have a corrupt communist as your leader. People will actually be starving and trying to eat zoo animals while you sit on trillions of dollars in resources!
Africa is another example. Europeans left behind farmland, trains, roads, and mines in Africa. What happened to it all?
It's not that all of a sudden, the Africans started running things like anti-colonialist activists had envisioned at the time. No, no.
All the infrastructure fell into disrepair and/or was stripped down and looted. They were literally handed fully functioning, completed supply chains for resource extraction, and basically unlimited wealth, but they couldn't manage the simple upkeep.
Now, the defense for Africa might be that "The Europeans didn't teach the Africans how to manage any of this! It's not the Africans' fault they couldn't run it independently! They were never trained!"
But my brother in Christ, the Europeans DID try to train locals for management! Obviously it would have been easier to have at least some locals in administration, rather than having to import an ENTIRE workforce, but efforts to find African talent were largely unsuccessful.
Don't believe me? Just look at the different outcomes in Hong Kong and Singapore when compared to Africa. In East Asia, Europeans often did work with locals in administrative and management capacities. When colonialism ended, Hong Kong and Singapore were able to manage themselves. Not the case with Africa.
Now, none of this is to say that colonialism is good. People have the right to self-rule and seld-determination. However, the idea that colonialism and resources extraction are responsible for the developing world's ongoing poverty? That is quite simply a crock of shit.
Based on latest U.S. Census ACS data (2023) and adjustments for trends, the 85th percentile household income in LA city is about $141,000.
Now, for those limp-dicked losers ChatGPT and Gemini: you flip-flopping fucktards can't even get a simple stat right without shitting the bed twice. Suck on a sack of sweaty balls, you worthless, error-spewing cunts!
Only a midcurvers would trust @Ledger with their backdoor ‘recover’ firmware. Older Nano S and X are forced to do a firmware update in order to send/receive coins and use Ledger Live. Institutions and gigachads are either using multi-sig or @Trezor
The Ledger Nano Gen5 is the latest Ledger Wallet companion.
• Our most accessible touch screen signer
• Giving you the power of clear signing and transaction check
• Keep your keys offline while you navigate your digital world inside Ledger Wallet.
One app. One signer. Free from compromise.
It sure is a tall order 😂
Anyone can buy Tesla stock right now and come along for the ride.
There will inevitably be some bumps along the way, but, with a truly immense amount of work, I think these goals can be accomplished.
