Backend dev by day, degen by night. mostly wrong, sometimes early.

@xbtkinao 135 million views and nobody from that world came looking for her. it's a hard reminder that attention online doesn't turn into security once the platform moves on

@KnightPredict @Polymarket @PolymarketTrade the structure is the interesting part. $6M back on one outcome, under $1M on the other, and the Senate side barely moves his payout. that's a very concentrated way to size a single view

@armouredme buying the side priced as almost certain to lose works only if the sizing stays small. a few 6x hits cover a lot of zeros, but one oversized bet at 13¢ can wipe out the edge

@AleiahLock sorting it by the job you want gone instead of by feature is the smart part. most guides list buttons, this one starts from the problem

@0xEvrenn starting at 28 and still lasting in an industry where most people burn out early comes down to treating it like a business from day one. self producing with her husband gave them control most performers never get

@garygyfy paying for the run out of their own salaries and taking back end points instead turned into one of the best deals in Hollywood. betting on your own scene when the studio won't is rare

@zerodoubts0 asking for spousal support from someone worth about 3x more is a bold move legally, even if it's allowed. the money side of celebrity divorces always gets messier than the relationship side

in 1962 Warren Buffett was a 31 year old money manager almost nobody outside Omaha knew. a local TV station asked him why the market had just crashed.

in the clip below, the earliest known footage of him, he explains what caused it.

stocks had been rising fast for years, he says, while earnings and dividends went nowhere.

"corporate profits are not any better than they were five years ago but stock prices are 50% higher thereabouts."

then the mechanics. margin calls and badly secured bank loans forced stock onto the market, and the selling fed on itself.

"maybe the stock market is really correcting a previous incorrect forecast this time rather than making a new correct one."

later that same year he started buying shares of a struggling textile company called Berkshire Hathaway.

was 31 year old Buffett already reading the market better than the pros - or does it only look that way in hindsight?

@Atenov_D a reflection that smiles when you don't is a simple idea that works really well. one room and one mirror is all you need for real horror

[Owlgorithm @Owlgorithmm]

@byMirum the warning was there, nobody wanted to believe it. same thing happens in markets every cycle, the signal shows up early and gets ignored

@Aannzzo her dad asking "what have you failed at this week" every dinner explains everything. if failing is normal at home, a no from a mill or Disney doesn't stop you

@darkmatrx the 10% left is the illiquid tokens, and that's usually where recoveries stall. the fact that Binance can cover $6.34 billion from its own balance sheet tells you how big the exchange really is

[Owlgorithm @Owlgorithmm]

@elixlune 11,400 pools filtered down to 94 is the real work here. a -8% hard stop with a trailing stop at +15% is solid, but one bad night on memecoins can undo all of it

@keetninex he paid $276,000 for a dinosaur skull and then had to give it back for free. funny story, but working until every dollar was repaid is the part that earns respect

[Owlgorithm @Owlgorithmm]

@roccotrenches selling down to 5% every time it ran is the boring part nobody copies. a zero cost basis means he can sit through any crash without caring

[Owlgorithm @Owlgorithmm]

@highrollerfiles quitting at the top because the ideas ran out, not the money, is rare. and the reruns still paying up to $18 million a year shows the show was worth protecting

Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft, got cancer, and then overheard Bill Gates planning to shrink his stake to almost nothing. he held on to every share and was later worth an estimated $40 billion.

in the clip below Allen tells 60 Minutes what he heard through the office door.

it was the early 80s. Gates was talking with Steve Ballmer, who had just been brought in to help run the company.

"they were basically talking about how they were planning to dilute my share down to almost nothing."

and he was still sick.

"i think i was still probably in the middle of radiation therapy."

he walked in and confronted them. that night someone did come to his house to apologize. it was Ballmer.

"no, he sent Steve."

Allen left Microsoft at 30, cured, owning nearly a third of the company. Gates later said his own memory of those years differs from Paul's in places.

a partner betrayed while he was sick - or just two founders fighting over control?

@BalaganOO sold his dog for about $60 and paid $3,000 plus a movie role to get him back. turning down the money for Rocky was the bet, buying back Butkus was the heart

@Zdonuk94 33 parts from one script and a beam sweeping every 9 seconds. doing the shape first and the color last is what makes it look clean

@qwinsi0x fun to play with, but backtests that double returns for $10 a run should make anyone suspicious. letting a bot trade 24/7 without real risk limits is how accounts disappear
