That there even is a debate over raising the minimum wage tells you all you need to know about owners, shareholders, and capitalism itself.

Why I prefer $ETH holders over $SOL holders.

Both $SBR launched same time, market bought them both to ensure I caught the winner.

Both similar volume, $ETH one is 10x higher.

Many such cases, Ethereum bros know how to hold.

If you've never been through a crypto/NFT bull market, here's something I wish I had known the last time and you should know now:

No matter how stupidly crazy you think it is, it can get stupidly crazier.

A corollary to this is that the only way to make 100x or 1000x is to forget reason and embrace your degen side.

But, in order to be intelligently stupid, you need to keep in mind the following:

Always keep a core position in top-tier assets: BTC/ETH, top alts, premium NFTs/Gen Art.

These will not yield you a 100x but they will naturally appreciate in value as the bull progresses. Use these to store liquidity and, more importantly, realise liquidity.

The core position will fund your degen plays.

About degen plays: you need to be a complete moron about them. Forget reason or common sense.

You have a core allocation to be reasonable. Don't be sensible with the crazy plays.

NFTs trade on momentum. In the bull, it was not uncommon to mint something for $40 and have it be worth $10,000 the next day.

I minted 12 Not Okay Bears for free on Monday and sold them all for 2.8e the next day. I scaled my sales. I shouldn't have, I knew it was a degen play.

Had I gone in stupidly, I would have sold the 12 for 10e.

I have countless other examples of this.

So what's the learning here:

🧠 Be reasonable with your core assets, be selective and build sizeable allocations that you will manage responsibly.

🐸 Be an absolute dumbass about your degen play and go all-in.

Thanks for listening to my TED Talk

@GenevePolice bonjour! Venant de manquer de me faire rentrer dedans par un cycliste allant à fond sur son vélo électrique sur le quai des Bergues (interdit aux vélos), je voulais vous proposer de venir y faire un contrôle de temps à temps en 0830 et 0900 du matin.

Meaningless words a few years ago, million-dollar jobs a few years from now:

• Prompt engineer
• Web3 strategist
• Metaverse architect
• Vibe manager
• Drop manager
• Head of Utility

Embrace progress and change !

I would encourage folks not to read too much into this, though. This was always the expected outcome here.

Still plenty of time for this Congress to get Trump’s taxes, but if you want to guarantee the clock doesn’t run out, don’t let the GOP take the House. Vote. Bring friends.

Une question @AliceGalopin. Pourquoi reprendre le vocabulaire de la propagande russe dans vôtre article?

Les déplacements de population ayant lieu à Kherson ne sont pas une « évacuation ». Ils constituent une déportation. Ne jouons pas le jeu de l’ennemi en utilisant ses mots

Republican voters cheer when their side gives trillion-dollar tax cuts to billionaires and whine when the other side gives a billion-dollar debt relief to tens of millions of Americans.

The FBI has found top secret documents pertaining to US nuclear assets at Mar-a-Lago.

Conservatives: OK, but could we focus on the alleged drug use of the president's non-politician son, please? That's the real topic.

This satellite image of France (@esa) taken yesterday is one of the scariest pictures I've ever seen.

This is with 1.5 degrees of warming people. Imagine when we hit 2 or 3 in the coming years...

We can all come together EVERYDAY on EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA platform and VIA EMAIL AND MAIL and demand that mega-polluters like @Nestle, @CocaCola or @pepsi stop using plastic.

Let's shame them into action if governments won't do their job and regulate the market.

Faced with the current climate emergency, most feel like their actions have no impact and stop fighting.

Most of us can't afford to boycott plastic-using companies, but we can try to shame them into action.

When the revolution toppled the Ancien Régime in 1792 France, a system and dynasty that had existed for 805 years came down overnight.

Don't tell me the world cannot move away from globalised capitalism to save itself
