Polymarket interest has been trending up only.
Another new all-time high for Google search volume.
Prediction markets might be crypto's greatest PFM ever.
I’ve been using Revolut ( alongside $AVICI ) for quite some time, but the experience hasn’t always been seamless. On multiple occasions, I was asked to re-submit perfectly valid documents or provide additional information without any clear reasoning. If i don’t they ll block my account within a week 💀
I’ve also had transfers from another bank account in my own name blocked and returned days later, with no concrete explanation from support. Very frustrating!
Despite this, I continued using Revolut mainly for crypto due to the relatively good rates and low fees. That changed once I extensively compared it with @AviciMoney.
That comparison was the final push to transition fully to Avici. Their rates are more than 1% better, which makes a meaningful difference over time.
Self-custodial, instant payments and the lowest fees is all you need.
In my opinion, once you use @AviciMoney, you don’t really need anything else.
Avici time.

. @jeremygiffon believes the perfect businesses are old-school merchant banks such as Lazard and Allen & Co., where one gets paid an absurd amount of money for one’s words alone.
"And the best part? These businesses don’t just generate cash - they give you access. If you’re in the right rooms, you’re not just advising on deals. You’re investing in them, too."
Meant to just have a quick stream today.

My journey on FinTwit has been nothing short of incredible.
When I set to go on my own in 2021, I remember a friend from the rates industry telling me “You are posting your thoughts on other platforms, but you’re missing out on the biggest of them all. Try Twitter”.
I had never used it in my life, but it clicked immediately.
The whole ecosystem was about deep research, sharing ideas, and some fair banter - just a fantastic place where to get high quality financial info.
I still remember working overnight on the “banking crash” of 2023 as I felt I could add value given it was about interest rate derivatives - my home turf.
Followers and impressions grew at an outrageous pace. A few times I was stopped in NY and London by fellow FinTwitters asking if I was “MacroAlf”. Crazy stuff.
Fast forward to today, unfortunately all of that it’s gone. It’s mostly low quality info, accounts flaming each others to get subscribers to their newsletters, and a ton of selective “look how smart I was” self-quote posts.
I hope it will come back to what it was. Really.
In the meantime a few people pointed me to the post below. It is flattering but incorrect.
I have gotten a lot of things publicly wrong. And I don’t have any issues admitting it. My win rate has always been around 50%.
Good luck to everyone. I miss the good old FinTwit.

Don't be fooled by fake KOLs
Key indicators of a botted account (that most don't know):
1) A Quick Death
Tons of impressions in the first hour then the post dies (IE: 15k in first hour, then 16k after 48 hours)
The X algo is a VERY slow burn. Even posts reaching 1M views often have less than 5k impressions in the first hour. (I have case studies)
MYTH: Botted views always occur all at once in a minute. Nope, sophisticated bots distribute them in 2-3 hour window. Don't be fooled.
2) No Variance
Even the most viral KOLs have posts that do poor (typically sponsored posts).
It's normal and to be expected (the X algo scores each post independently. It's in the code.)
If your favorite KOL always has consistent impressions, (10k, 11k, 10.5k) they may have an artificial impressions floor
3) Never in "For You"
Creator has 50k-100k views often but you never see them in the "For You" section?
They may be botted.
This is a key reason why a botted account's views per post die off quicker than an actual viral post. (see point 1)
The X algo is not distributing the post to real users on the "For you" page
A third party system is doing it. Sending the post to thousands of fake accounts, which click and view the post.
What should you do with this information?
You don't need to get paranoid and go around pointing fingers.
People will always deny anyways.
But what you can do:
> Stop idolizing influencers for vanity metrics
> Stop comparing yourself to others
> Learn to spot botted accounts and avoid them
Science research is mostly invisible to the public. To many it's obscure & irrelevant. And returns on science investments carry longer horizons than quarterly or annual reports
Yet it's the engine room of tech-innovation. Cut funds for science & you ultimately stall your economy
I’ve paid my dues in the crypto trenches
Round-tripped more bags and lost more money than I’d like to admit
And I also saw more numbers on my cellphone screen than most will in a lifetime
2025 was the last year I played by the rule book of the crypto 4 year cycle
All bets are off in 2026 - time to start gradually cashing out my millions as I see fit 🫡
