public markets really do turn owning a stock into picking a team.

[Daniel Koss @daniel_koss]

$NBIS vs $IREN: people are still beefing, and considering how the executives of both companies interact, it's going from a waste of time to actually stupid.

Just today, under Daniel Roberts' LinkedIn post on how IREN funds its GPUs, Nebius' VP of Sales commented "don't give away all the secrets" (with two rockets lol).

When I interviewed @romanchernin, it dawned on me that the companies themselves can't understand why their retail investors are fighting, when they would rather build relationships.

$IREN investors always pointed out that Nebius doesn't have the power. $NBIS investors always said "but we can get it, and the team matters more." That difference in assets and skills is exactly what makes a collaboration so win win.

$IREN has land and grid access. $NBIS, I believe, has the skills to build faster and increase the $ / MW that can be made out of it with a world-class cloud offering. 1 + 1 = 3. It's not a zero sum game.

When you start a company, you do NOT want two CTOs or two CEOs as co-founders. You want aligned values and goals but DIFFERENT assets.

Partnership or even M&A, I don't think anything is off the table. My view that $NBIS is the better investment is unchanged, but the more time passes, the more convinced I am that these two will end up working together. Maybe they already are behind the scenes.

The setup makes too much sense and now the behaviour of the people involved also suggests interest on a human level.

A lot of people only want to hear about risk after the drawdown starts.

You don't become a billionaire by being a permabear. He is wrongly called one.

200MB back from Widgets feels like finding a twenty in an old jacket. I'll take it.

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

Microsoft says Windows 11 is getting faster and using less RAM, especially on PCs with 8GB of memory.

The latest changes can make Windows feel up to 20% more responsive in areas like Start, File Explorer, Search, and Settings.

The update also reduces memory usage by keeping more data in RAM and loading Widgets only when needed, freeing up 200MB+ of memory.

Microsoft says the changes are designed to make Windows “more responsive” while using memory more efficiently.

Apple, Nvidia and Tesla just started trading on the blockchain.

Go to https://t.co/fKJ0P36y4F or tap the link in my bio to learn how to research what you’re buying before you buy it.

Securitize, a company backed by BlackRock and ARK Invest, launched Securitize Stocks on Solana on October 8th. Each token is backed by an actual share and is built to keep your dividends and your voting rights. So it’s meant to be the stock itself, not a bet on the price.

It’s starting with 12 companies, including Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Netflix and Palantir.

Securitize is already a public company on the New York Stock Exchange. It has issued $4.5 billion in tokenized assets, and it’s the company that issued BlackRock’s first blockchain money market fund.

Here’s how it works. Jump Trading provides the liquidity, so there’s always a buyer and a seller. Your trades settle in USDC, a digital dollar. And a firm called RQD handles the clearing, custody and settlement behind the tokens.

Carlos Domingo, Securitize’s chairman and CEO, said the goal is to bring stocks onchain without leaving behind the ownership and investor protections.

The rules opened the door on September 17th, when the SEC gave tokenized stock venues a five year conditional exemption. That happened even though the Clarity Act stalled in the Senate.

The stock market is starting to run on crypto rails.

Follow for the next one.

How to overcome subconscious blocks around earning more money through trading and crypto?

1. Stop demonizing money

A negative attitude toward money is a psychological defense mechanism used by people who see no prospects for improving their financial situation. They resort to all kinds of self-comforting beliefs: “You can’t earn big money through honest work” “Money corrupts people” and so on.

There is nothing shameful about being wealthy or spending large amounts of money. By spending money, you stimulate the development of various industries and the economy, meaning that many people earn their salaries thanks to you.

By demonizing money, a weak person admits they are its slave. A strong person remains free.

2. Stop worshipping money

A person sees nothing but money, perceiving it not as a tool but as a deity, an idol. The desire to possess money turns into passion and obsession. For some, greed leads to dishonorable and sometimes even criminal acts, while others are driven to take excessive risks.

For a trader, worshipping money triggers the emotions that lead to catastrophic mistakes and financial ruin: greed, fear of losses, gambling, and hopes of hitting the jackpot…

Stay cool-headed. You must control your money, not let money control your thoughts and emotions. You are the master of your money, not the other way around.

3. Don’t be afraid to lose money

View money not as a piece of gold that needs to be hidden somewhere and carefully guarded, but as working capital designed to generate more money.

Live with the confidence that you can earn money tomorrow, the day after, and at any time. Don’t let it sit idle. Invest it in business, as well as in your health, comfort, and experiences. Take money lightly. But, of course, that doesn’t mean you should light your cigarettes with banknotes.

Combine money management with reasonable risk, protect yourself, and avoid pitfalls - but don’t give up going for a walk just because you’re afraid of stumbling.

4. Don’t be stingy

For money to flow in, you also need to create channels for it to flow out - in simple terms, you need to spend it. An unwillingness to spend money sends a signal to your subconscious: “There’s no need to earn more. There’s nowhere to spend it. We have enough. We’re fine as we are”

Psychologists distinguish between two financial strategies: earning and saving. A person directs their energy either toward finding new sources of income or toward finding discounts on toilet paper.

Let me emphasize once again: nobody is saying you should waste your money. But you need to distinguish between reasonable spending and living in constant saving mode.

11 years is a hell of a run. If you like macOS, I'd get the Air, a ThinkPad can last too.

[DummScience @DummScience]

I’m an Apple person. My last MacBook Pro lasted over 11 years until I could no longer update it and she finally just quietly quit on me.

I will downgrade to a MacBook Air because the Pros are too $$$ and I hear poor things about the Neo.

So here is my crazy question: Should I just switch to a Windows based computer like a Lenovo instead for a fraction of the cost? I need something that will last, not slow down just because, and, once again, last! I’m afraid it will be a “Get what you pay for” type of situation of I do.

that 0.5 ms blip at the start is going to make this challenge very unforgiving

[XBAB Tech @xbabtech]

Introducing the #8KChallenge for all mouse enthusiasts, reviewers, and brands.

1. Open MouseTester, MousePlotter, or a similar app.
2. Set your mouse to 8000 Hz and 3200+ DPI.
3. Move it in circles for 60 seconds.
4. Check the graph of the time intervals. All points below 0.2 ms = pass. Any above 0.2 ms= fail.

Pass or fail, share your screenshot along with your mouse, test app, and OS. All three must work together flawlessly to pass this challenge.

Here's ours: the XA25 on Linux, tested with MousePlotter's CLI.

Tesla $2000 in 2028 or so.

Technical analysis suggests Tesla stock may enter a major bullish phase, potentially reaching $2,000 between 2028 and 2030 if it stays within its long-term ascending channel.

Past rallies were fueled by electric vehicle adoption and autonomous driving advances.

The next growth phase could be driven by AI, autonomous driving, Robotaxis, and Tesla's Optimus robot. A buying opportunity might arise between $210 and $250, with significant gains possible if Tesla advances in these technologies.

Tesla shares trade at USD 375.22 on Pluang, down 0.74% over the past day, with a market cap of $1.49 trillion. The stock is currently below its 52-week high of $489.88, reflecting some recent pullback.

yeah, if the business keeps compounding, letting it cook for five years sounds like a pretty good plan.

Long term investing means investing not flipping stocks. I don’t want to sell if I can see double digit eps/fcfps from today’s valuation over the next 5 years.

EOS drops to a new 2 year low. Good. This f* sc*m destroyed enough mom & pop retirement savings thanks to f* scamfluencers pumping the stock relentlessly with made up red herring bs, excuse my French. It's not like it was a clever scam. It was as bright as daylight and full with red flags as we had pointed out multiple times.

Prediction markets are pricing a Democratic House on November 3.

So I went back through all 19 midterms since 1950 to see what the S&P 500 did after each kind of result.

The one being priced now historically had the flattest first month on average. https://t.co/Bz4RPflynw

Government money is a real tailwind, and I still want to see the actual contract before getting excited about any ticker.

[Alan McKinley @davidhudspeth21]

The U.S. government is pouring real money into these exact areas right now — this is not speculation, it’s public policy.

1. Quantum Computing & Next-Gen Chips
$IONQ $RGTI $QUBT $IBM

2. Small Modular Reactors (SMR)
$SMR $OKLO $NNE $BWXT

3. Space Economy & Satellites
$ASTS $RKLB $LUNR $PL

4. Grid Upgrade & Energy Storage
$EOSE $FLNC $STEM $ENVX

5. Autonomous & Humanoid Robotics
$TSLA $SYM $ISRG $PATH

Government capital, defense contracts, and energy-security goals are accelerating into these sectors.
Positioning now is smarter than chasing headlines later.
