You can make crazy gains from being insanely bullish when it feels retarded, then it’s a lesson in humility back to $0. Humbleness and a mind that adapts seems to be the winning recipe.
Zora’s system works. $20K is probably not even 1% of their portfolio.
I'm used to making 100–200k, and now i’ve reset to 20k and have to grind for 2–3k a day. fuck, it feels like going from being a king to becoming a farmer.
I remember FTX well. After Terra Luna melted, I spent months thinking: will there be another thing that makes crypto believe this is actually the end? In 2022, the bottom was in November. This chart analysis still holds; but maybe we say "Is this the end?" a few more times. 🤷♂️
$BTC aggressively broke above the MA200 & EMA200 on the daily. That's a huge wake-up call for the bears
In 2018 & 2022 such a violent pump above the key MAs confirmed the end of the Bear Market 🐻❌
💭 I question myself: Do we have enough time to retrace this pump before the classic Bear Market runs out of time? And to be honest, it's hard to imagine what should happen to completely retrace this pump by mid October 🤷♂️
Maybe this Bear Market could last beyond October, but if there are no new lows by December 1st, I will flip 100% bullish
Apollo Academy & Private Trading Club launches tomorrow, and 95% of the founding member places have already been sold out.
I genuinely didn’t expect this kind of response before launch. Seeing so many people back what we’ve spent the past year building means a lot.
If you want one of the remaining places, you can DM me today to secure it.
I’m also giving away two complimentary memberships to celebrate the launch.

Winners announced Friday. ⚡️
Not a Trump supporter, but this isnt dementia. Hes sticking to talking points of the narrative that got him to the White House. The 2nd election was stolen. The 3rd got him the Presidency again. 3 times. He clarifies it immediately after he says it.
Biden was dementia.
🇺🇸 The IRS just agreed to never audit Trump again.
A one-page addition quietly attached to yesterday's $1.8 billion settlement permanently bars the IRS from examining Trump's tax returns, his family, and his companies.
The original settlement said nothing about taxes. This showed up the next day.
Former IRS commissioner Danny Werfel said he was "unaware of a single precedent where the IRS has agreed in advance to permanently forgo examination of previously filed tax returns for a specific person or business."
The settlement was sold as accountability. The extra page is a lifetime audit exemption for the president.

I am the Head of Product at Trump Mobile. There is no product. I have the best job in America.
590,000 people paid $100 each to preorder a gold phone that does not exist. That is $59 million. My KPI is deposit velocity. I have a whiteboard in my office that says DEPOSIT VELOCITY. There is nothing else on the whiteboard.
We announced the phone June 2025. Gold case. American flag on the back. "Made in the USA." Ship date: August. I moved it to November. Then December. Then Q1 2026. Then mid-March. Each time I sent 590,000 people an email that said "exciting update." The exciting update was that the phone still did not exist. In April I deleted the ship date from the website entirely. I got a standing ovation on the all-hands. That was our most successful product milestone.
The phone is a $499 gold Android. 50MP camera. 6.78-inch display. Fingerprint sensor. I have never held one. Nobody on earth has held one. We got the T1 certified for network compatibility in March. We celebrated like we'd shipped. We did not ship. We certified the concept of a phone. The network said: if this thing existed, it could connect. We called that a breakthrough.
On April 6th I updated the terms and conditions. "A preorder deposit does not guarantee that a Device will be produced or made available for purchase." Trump Mobile does not guarantee regulatory approval. Does not guarantee production. Does not guarantee delivery. Does not guarantee the phone will exist. The deposit is non-transferable and carries no independent cash value. I have the printout framed in my office next to the whiteboard. That is the only thing we have shipped on schedule.
"Made in the USA" lasted three months. Became "American-proud design." Then "designed with American values in mind." We manufacture overseas. Final assembly of 10 components happens in Miami. We counted putting the flag sticker on the back as one of the 10. While 590,000 people wait for their gold phone, we are currently selling refurbished iPhones. Made in China. With a Trump logo on the box. For $47.45 a month on T-Mobile's network. We are reselling another company's network at a patriotic markup. The plan is called the 47 Plan. The 47 is the only original thing about it.
An intern asked me last month when we are going to build the phone. I promoted her to VP of Customer Expectations.
Senator Warren wrote the FTC in January. I am not worried. We will have launched the next product before they finish reading the letter. That is always the math. I know the math because I have been watching it evolve for years.
Trump University promised education. Delivered weekend seminars in hotel conference rooms. 5,000 students. Settled for $25 million. That was version 1.0. You had to rent the room. You had to print the binder. You had to hire the speaker. You had to settle. Three entire obligations.
$TRUMP memecoin. No education. No binder. No room. Peaked at $75. Now $2.80. Down 96%. 1 billion tokens minted. 80% went to the team. 45 wallets gained $1.2 billion on launch night while everyone else watched their screens. For every dollar insiders made, retail lost twenty. That was version 2.0. You did not have to build anything. You did not have to hire anyone. You just had to press mint. Two obligations eliminated.
$MELANIA. Same model. Launched 48 hours later on the same audience. Down 99%. 24 wallets bought $2.6 million worth exactly 2.5 minutes before the First Lady's announcement. One wallet turned $681,000 into $39 million in 24 hours. The team controls 92% of supply. Her launch crashed her husband's token by 50% in the same hour. That was version 2.1. A patch, not a release. You did not even need a new customer base. You could cannibalize the last one.
WLFI. World Liberty Financial. The President's crypto project. Took $500 million from 600,000 wallets. Tokens locked. Cannot sell. Cannot transfer. Cannot leave. Team holds 73% of supply and votes to unlock itself. The project's advisor borrowed $75 million on a lending platform he co-founded. Using investor tokens as collateral. On a protocol where the project is 82.7% of total value locked. Other depositors could not withdraw. The President's family takes 75 cents of every dollar. That was version 3.0. You did not have to deliver anything. You did not have to pretend anything would go up. You just had to lock the door and keep the key. One obligation remaining: the smart contract.
Trump Mobile is version 4.0.
I did not have to mint a token. Did not have to write a smart contract. Did not have to lock a single wallet. Did not have to build a lending platform or freeze a billionaire or rig a governance vote. I put a flag on a gold rectangle that does not exist, opened a deposit page, collected $59 million from 590,000 Americans, and then updated the terms to say the deposit does not guarantee the rectangle will ever be real.
The version history, in case you are keeping score:
1.0 — Had to rent a room. Had to settle.
2.0 — Had to mint. Didn't have to build.
2.1 — Didn't even need new customers.
3.0 — Didn't have to deliver. They couldn't leave.
4.0 — Didn't have to promise. They paid for the flag.
Each version removes one obligation. University had three. We are down to zero. My product roadmap is one slide. It says DEPOSITS.
Version 5.0 will not need the webpage.
The phone was never the product. The deposit was always the product. The flag was the conversion funnel. The name was the close. The terms update was the only deliverable. "Made in the USA" was the positioning until it wasn't and then "American values" was the positioning until that stops working and then we will find new words that mean nothing and those will work too because the words were never the product either.
I am the Head of Product at Trump Mobile. I have never made a phone. I have made $59 million. The product is the transaction. Delivery is a legacy feature from version 1.0 and we deprecated it three versions ago.
Guaranteed: what’s happening in Iran has been run through a thousand simulations using the best Ai run by the best a government contract could afford.
None of this is a surprise for those at the top.
🚨WHAT META JUST DROPPED IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN ANYTHING OPENAI HAS EVER BUILT!!!!!
while everyone was losing their mind over Claude Mythos.. Meta dropped something that nobody noticed..
they built an AI called TRIBE v2.. it's basically a digital copy of your brain..
you show it a video, a sound, a sentence.. and it already knows how your brain is going to react.. 70,000 different parts of your brain.. blood flow, oxygen, everything..
they trained it on 1,000 hours of brain scans from 700 real people lying inside MRI machines..
it doesn't read your thoughts.. it does something worse..
it knows what's going to make you feel something before you even feel it..
think about that for a second..
if an AI already knows which image, which sound, which word is going to hit your dopamine.. you don't need to read someone's mind.. you just build the perfect trap..
and meta didn't even keep it locked up.. they open-sourced it.. gave the code, the weights, everything to the entire world..
this is the same company that got caught making instagram destroy teenage girls.. the same company whose own research said their algorithm pushes rage because rage keeps you scrolling..
that company now has a working copy of how your brain responds to everything you see and hear..
they don't have to guess what keeps you glued to the screen anymore.. they can rehearse it on a copy of your brain before you ever see it..
the product was never the app..
the product was always you..
now they have the blueprint.
Eric Trump explains how the Trump family has made over $1,000,000,000 in Crypto
“Well we started the three most successful Crypto projects probably in history. We started with a memecoin, TRUMP coin, for a period of time I think it was above the market cap of Ethereum, it was pretty amazing it went parabolic”
“Obviously we were really successful with NFTs in the early days and then we started World Liberty Financial. Everybody knows we’re the fastest growing stablecoin on Earth right now”
“Crypto’s been incredible and it came out of us being debanked. It is the future of finance and as a family we’re all in”
Trump says Iran has 48 hours to open the Strait, then says we don’t even need the Strait, then says you better open it, then says the war is basically over, then says it could go on for a long time, then says we’re not talking because there’s nobody to talk to, then says there are very productive conversations, then says we’re not negotiating, then says maybe we are, then calls for a 5-day pause, then says we don’t need allies, then says all our allies better step up, then says everything is under control, then threatens escalation again.
Every position, every direction, all at once.
