@Footballtweet Strong men, those who’ve suffered and sacrificed like Doku to reach the heights of society, like being selected to play for your country at the World Cup… will always put family first.

OpenClaw agent set-up here: https://t.co/D2HFIVZxOM for non-technical folks specially. Built by an agent that's building 3 webpages as we speak:

jumping on the OpenClaw trend here. goal #1 is for my agent (@Thorin_agent ) to generate its first $10 in revenue.

the first challenge I encountered: was quickly rate limited by Anthropic, so I asked Thorin to build this dashboard to have visibility of token burn

Fueron 20 milímetros los que cambiaron el transcurso de la historia. Con esa bala, el ‘wokismo’ se habría impuesto en Occidente, el cristianismo habría sido destruido y las narcodictaduras y el PSOE estarían seguras.

Almost 8 years ago the founders of Kalshi made what so many told them was the dumbest decision of their lives.

Today that stupid decision is worth $11b. Kalshi lore is worth studying for early founders. I wanted to join the team because of it.

In 2018 the team gets into YC. @mwseibel actually thought the idea was near-impossible. Despite the idea seeming crazy YC saw the potential in the founding team and gives Kalshi a shot.

Rumor has it this was the last time Tarek smiled.

@apartovi is also one of Kalshi's first believers. Neo has a an insane track record in finding goated founder early. Their formula is really simple.

Find founders who are:
- Intelligent
- Have high agency
- Naive <--????

Neo has found a pattern great founders possess. They are naive enough to think they can take on the impossible journey ahead of them.

I say this with minimal hyperbole - Kalshi has done the impossible. Building an exchange requires so many complex variables to work perfectly in unison. To do this from scratch while having to sue the US government to go live is insane.

I want to vomit thinking how difficult it would be to replicate what Kalshi's has done (which a few companies are trying). Could you imagine how disgustingly difficult it would be to invent the playbook.

What makes someone naive enough to think they can do the impossible? Conviction.

No sane person is spending their 20's learning about derivative laws. It requires an insane level of conviction.

I can't say for certain what gave the founding team so much conviction but my hypothesis is the following:

- The category in which Kalshi operates in is the $19.8T derivatives market. If they get this right the sky is no longer the ceiling.

- Kalshi solves for strong unmet demand. Traders want to trade directly on event outcomes but can't.

- If millions of market participants are rewarded for their truth seeking behavior. Kalshi can aggregate a data point on collective belief. Something non market participants benefit from tremendously (ex: Election Forecasts on Kalshi).

My biggest takeways from working with this exceptional team:

1. Fight the hard fights - the growth and reward for difficult journeys are long tailed but exponentially better than the easy linear journeys.

2. Be naive enough to think you can do the impossible. Conviction and belief that you can rise to the challenge is necessary.

3. Still unsure on whether or not you have to give up smiling to be successful - still going through the data here

Laporta fue desleal con Messi. Abrazando su camiseta para ganar las elecciones y lo saca del Barça con un comunicado.

@TheCinesthetic This ending was nothing short of a masterpiece - Art in its purest form. The way this director tied the ending to a story once told decades before, is magestic. Gives me goosebumps to think of it

Erika Kirk’s entire speech today at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service.

I would encourage every American to watch this.

One of the most impactful speeches I’ve ever heard.

God bless you. Thank you for the lessons you and Charlie bring to this world.

Piers Morgan just aired a sick 50-second montage exposing TikTok users celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death.

Don’t forget who cheered a man’s death for politics. Make these people famous.
