@commonsenseplay People like it because they can make money off of it, saying it’s the next currency is just a front.
Imagine owning something so volatile that you are meant to pay with but swings dramatically everyday. Go buy gold and silver instead
@commonsenseplay@kevinxu That’s a big reason why I subscribe to you
I will say I haven’t done all of the same moves you have but I wish I did
I Remember when people were calling you an idiot for selling $NOW at $130 and not be greedy? Or the buy of SpaceX below $110 even though you were hoping for $80
@commonsenseplay If we start seeing Quantum coming to fruition with their speculative promise - will your thesis change? I understand it’s speculative, but what will make you change your opinion if it does?

An enterprise account executive from a tier 1 cybersecurity firm paid for it.
He's been trying to sell me a cloud-native endpoint detection platform for 8 months.

Half of our workforce is using refurbished laptops from 2014 that are physically incapable of running his software.

My total compensation package is $200K.
But my caloric ROI is incalculable.
Next week I have a pitch meeting with an AI analytics startup.
I checked their Series B funding round before agreeing to the meeting.
They have $40M in venture capital burning a hole in their pocket.
I'm going to let them buy me omakase.
Then I'm going to tell them our legacy infrastructure is experiencing packet loss and we can't deploy until 2029.
Corporate America is just a vast ecosystem of free meals if you know how to string along desperate account managers.

@CryptoTravelb@E0_DS0_Omega@scottbudman@CAREALTORS Don’t jive in La Jolla with San Diego
La Jolla is for old rich farts 💨 and a bunch of tourists slapping sea lions

Newport same thing, myopic old rich cunts who don’t know left from right
I’m being mean, I know 🥲 but it’s true
@Matt_Schulman1 Panchitas Pupuseria in the mission
