SBF bought 5% of Cursor for $200k in 2022. The stake was liquidated by FTX bankruptcy trustees for the same amount $200k in 2023. Whoever bought that stake just cashed out a cool $3 billion profit from the SpaceX acquisition. A quick 15000x. You can get rich by venture investing.

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

maturing is realizing that FTX was one of the best investors in crypto industry:

> $500M in Anthropic would now be worth roughly $30.4B
> $1B in Solana would now be worth roughly $5.1B
> $648M in Robinhood would be $5.7B
> $100M in Sui would be $1.2B
> $1.15B in Genesis Digital Assets would be $3.5B
> $700M in SpaceX via K5 would be $3B

did some estimates and their total portfolio would be up from $4.7B to $52.5B which is a $47.8B in rise

absolutely nuts

🔥🚨BREAKING: Grammy winning artist Sabrina Carpenter is under backlash from music fans for constantly killing men in her music videos.

Venom1s: ‘Imagine if a male artist made a music video showing women getting deleted and beaten up.

He would be cancelled in a day.

But a woman artist can literally delete men and nobody cares?

Never tell me again that misandry doesn't exist.’

Harry Potter is extremely overrated as a Quidditch player. Here are the facts:

First, he has an equipment advantage.

Year 1: he didn't even try out. McGonagall just put him on the team. Then he gets a Nimbus 2000 while everyone else is on discount, budget, school-issued brooms

Year 3: Harry's Nimbus 2000 gets destroyed by the Whomping Willow and he gets a Firebolt. Once again, he has an equipment advantage

Second, he misses too many games. The best ability is availability. Harry played in 9 Quidditch games at Hogwarts. Gryffindor had 13 games during that time. Harry missed 31% of his team's games

Now, let's look at Gryffindor's record with and without Harry

Book 1: Harry plays the first two games and misses the last one (infirmary). Team goes 2-1. He's 2-0 in games he plays

Book 2: Harry plays one game, last two get canceled. Team is 1-0

Book 3: the ONLY season Harry plays all three games. Gryffindor goes 2-1

Book 4: no Quidditch (Triwizard Tournament)

Book 5: Harry plays one game, attacks Malfoy, banned for life. Ginny steps in. Gryffindor wins the cup anyway

Book 6: Harry plays first two games, misses the last one. Gryffindor wins the cup anyway

Book 7: Harry is hunting Horcruxes with Ron and Hermione. Does not appear that Quidditch was played while school was under control of Death Eaters

In the 4 games Harry missed, Gryffindor went 2-2. Not great, but they survived without him

It's simple. Harry Potter is a great wizard. But as a Quidditch player? He's wildly overrated. You could argue that there are several people better than Harry at Quidditch: Victor Krum, Charlie Weasley, Cedric Diggory, Ludo Bagman, Ginny Weasley, Eunice Murray, Hamish McFarland

Also, it's been decades since Harry Potter played Quidditch. The game is much faster now. There are more analytics. The players are more athletic. Even the coaching is different

Let's stop hyping Harry as a Quidditch player

I'm not joking.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Trump asked everyone who agrees the government's first duty is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants, to stand up.

Not a single Democrat stood.

Ilhan Omar and others heckled him.

Trump fired back: "You should be ashamed of yourselves."

On primetime. In front of millions.

NYC taxes explained for people who don't pay attention:

Property tax. Income tax. Sales tax. Unincorporated business tax. Commercial rent tax. Hotel tax. Mortgage recording tax. Mansion tax. Utility tax. Congestion pricing. Twenty-plus taxes.

And the mayor wants more.

Let me show you what that actually feels like.

You're 26. First real job. $85,000. You feel rich.
Then you see your paycheck.

Federal takes a cut. Fine. Then New York State takes 6%. Then New York City takes another 3.5%. Then there's a "metropolitan commuter mobility tax" you've never heard of.

Your $85K is now $54K before rent.

You grab coffee. 8.875% sales tax. You take an Uber to the airport. Congestion pricing just added $9. Your landlord raised rent, he's passing along a property tax increase you'll never see on a bill but you're paying every month.

You're not rich. You're not even comfortable. You're just surviving. But fine. It's New York. You chose this.

Now here's the part nobody talks about.

In 2000, NYC's budget was $40 billion for 8 million people. That's about $5,000 per person.

Today it's $121 billion for 8.5 million people. $14,244 per person.

Population grew 6%. Inflation was 82%. Spending per person nearly tripled.

So things must be three times better, right?

In 2017, 51% of New Yorkers rated quality of life as good. Today it's 34%.

Only 12% think the city spends money wisely. Only 22% feel safe on the subway at night. Felony assaults hit a 24-year high.

They spend $31,000 per student on education. Less than half kids can read at grade level.

They tripled the spending. Everything got worse.

Where'd the money go?

Pensions up 115%. Outsourced contracts up $7 billion. A brand new $5 billion asylum seeker expense that didn't exist three years ago. Social services doubled. 302,000 city employees. Debt ballooning.

And the new mayor doesn't look at this and say "we need to spend better."

He says "we need to tax more."

A 2% income tax hike that would push the combined state and city rate to 16.8% -> the highest in the entire country. Tax increases that impact everyone.

His supporters chant "tax the rich" at rallies. The top 1% already pay 40% of the city's income tax. And they're leaving anyway. NYC's share of the nation's millionaires dropped from 7% to 4%. They have accountants. They have Florida.

You know who can't leave?

Your uncle with the restaurant. Your parents in that house. You, watching your paycheck disappear into twenty taxes before you can save a dollar.

You need to make $312,000 in New York to live the same lifestyle as someone making $125,000 in Houston.

Houston spends $2,850 per person. No state income tax. No city income tax. Population growing.

NYC spends five times more. Worse results.

NYC is a Netflix subscription that keeps raising the price while the product gets worse.

And you can't cancel.

$40 billion wasn't enough. $60 billion wasn't enough. $80 billion. $100 billion. Now $121 billion.

It will never be enough. Because the problem was never revenue.

There is enough money. There has always been enough money.

They don't need more of yours. They need to do better with what they already take.

I hope you understand what's at stake.
