In 2013 a Wall Street risk boss walked up to an MIT chalkboard and gave away the exact math desks charge $400,000 a year to run.
MIT filmed it. it has been free for 13 years. 7.9 million people pressed play and almost none of them changed a thing.
his point: the Wall Street edge was never a secret. it is a first lecture. options, risk, how a payout is actually built.
every prediction-market trader hunting an edge in 2026 is chasing what Jake Xia put on a board in hour one of a free class.
he ran risk for a living, not a channel. the video outdrew most blockbusters and still moved almost no one, because watching is not doing.
skip to where he prices risk. he takes the thing quant threads sell for $500 and builds it from zero, slow enough for a beginner to follow.
no paywall. no NDA. one board and a marker.
a quant I know sends this link to every junior who whines the math is too hard.
you are 13 years late. it is still free.
All of crypto to crypto is about to rally, and the reason isn’t what most people think.
at @terminaai we track the supply and demand of private capital across every major sector. the data shows something unusual: despite the volatility, crypto investment flows from private investors are still at 2022 levels. they didn’t collapse like biotech, fintech, or consumer.
this resilience matters. capital supply tells you a lot about forward returns. when adoption keeps compounding but capital stays scarce, the setup is asymmetric. fewer dollars are competing for teams, networks, and assets that are still growing.
this is the opposite of what you see in ai or saas right now, where capital is abundant. abundance tends to compress future returns; scarcity in the face of real usage tends to expand them.
in crypto today we have:
-stablecoin velocity breaking records
-tokenization experiments scaling from pilots to real markets
-custody, compliance, and institutional adoption moving faster than most expected
-volumes and new user entry points growing again
put simply: we’re sitting on 2022 levels of private investment, supporting 2025 levels of adoption. that mismatch doesn’t last forever.
history shows that when an ecosystem holds its floor through downturns, the snapback is violent. we saw this in saas post-2016, and in ai after 2020.
crypto is setting up the same way now. will rally.
@Rewkang Very insightful analysis on ETH. Comparing the multi-year ETH range to a 30-year Crude Oil. Given that the entire existence of Ethereum is less than a decade, ETH may be in a consolidation phase as a nascent technology, rather than a bearish sign?
"The West is underestimating the danger of a sudden collapse." I salute the heroism and ingenuity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But they are outmanned and outgunned. With U.S. aid effectively over, the EU and UK need to do much more, much faster, to bolster Ukraine's defenses.
$AERO is not talked about enough

You should bookmark and print this off and look at it everyday as a constant reminder.
Anyone who thinks we are further into the cycle, then you are wrong, here’s why:
1. We had a pre bull run rally because of the ETFs.
2. Trumps inauguration caused bullish sentiment.
3. No altcoin season or euphoria.
The best is yet to come.
