A lot of confusion "created" since Saturday about “No tax below income of ₹ 12 Lakhs” – Slabs starts at ₹4 lakhs. Is there a relief??

Some famous voices calling for the FM to be “large hearted & do it properly!!"

Did not want to explain until the dust settled.

@wassielawyer @arthur0x @DeFianceCapital @sunil_trades not an apples for apples comparison but rhymes with FTX custodial issue.

Food for thought.

1/ Lots of discussion out there about the early start of alts season, and some surprise that it’s happening given bitcoin is "only" up a few hundred percent from the lows.

Some thoughts.

A close friend of mine recently asked me for a cheat sheet for getting into better shape. He specifically asked about supplements and abs several times. He’s looking for a rapid reboot.

The below is what I sent him, along with a copy of The 4-Hour Body.

This post is minimally edited. I’m not trying to be Tolstoy; rather, I wanted to share a quick and dirty email of tactical advice to a friend who has limited time, a bunch of kids, etc.

I’m also simplifying a lot to get my point across quickly, so read it with that in mind. Needless to say, I’m not a doctor and none of this is medical advice. Chat with your MD and do your homework on supplements before consuming anything new.

My friend is also a roughly 200-pound male, so adjust kettlebell weights accordingly. Pavel Tsatsouline has excellent further resources.

Enjoy…

Ahoy, Santiago!

If you follow the directions in the below links for four weeks, you should see some significant changes.

First, just a few basics:

– Weight training will help with fat loss and appearance more than cardio, as it helps to build muscle, which then changes your metabolism.

– As they say, “Abs are made in the kitchen.” We all have abs, and it’s diet that will make them visible or invisible, so diet is 90%-plus of seeing abs.

– Supplements can be helpful, but they are called “supplements” for a reason. They should supplement other more important changes to diet and exercise.

OK, here are my suggestions for the next 4–6 weeks, listed from most important to least important:

DIET

Focus on the Slow-Carb Diet. You get one “cheat day” per week to go crazy and eat whatever you want, so you’re not giving up your favorite foods for more than 6 days at a time. It really, really works.

These two articles are good starting points:

How to Lose 100 Pounds on the Slow-Carb Diet – Real Pics and Stories (https://t.co/KWKK9Eiy3r)

Everything You Need to Know About the Slow-Carb Diet™ (https://t.co/Zz3GZxNM61)

Also feel free to print this Slow-Carb diet one-pager from The 4-Hour Chef, which encapsulates nearly all the main points. (https://t.co/kn47vddV3U)

EXERCISE

Focus on kettlebell swings. Do these 2x per week and see these, in this order:

1. https://t.co/LFe547BPmL

2. The Perfect Posterior: Kettlebell Swings and Cheap Alternatives (https://t.co/7qlx0MRQnA)

Here’s an excerpt from the above blog post:

In 2005, my interest in kettlebells reinvigorated, I returned to the United States from Argentina and purchased one 53-pound kettlebell. I did nothing more than one set of 75 swings one hour after a light, protein-rich breakfast, twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. In the beginning, I couldn’t complete 75 consecutive repetitions, so I did multiple sets with 60 seconds between until I totaled 75. Total swing time for the entire week was 10–20 minutes.

I wasn’t trying to balance tequila shots on my butt cheeks. I wanted clear six-pack abs. In six weeks, I was at my lowest bodyfat percentage since 1999, and l’d reached my goal. I’ve since worked up to 50+ reps with the 106-lb. “beast,” which has directly transferred to 100-lb.+ gains in the deadlift.

The king of exercises—the two-handed kettlebell swing—is all you need for dramatic changes.

BASICS

Get a 35-lb kettlebell and a ~53-lb kettlebell to start. Do one week of the lighter then move up to the 53. After the 4–6 week experiment, you might buy one that is heavier. Good idea to use chalk on your hands.

SUPPLEMENTS

– Eat 30 grams (30g) of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. I know this isn’t a supplement, but it’s important, so I’m putting it here, since I think you might skip to this section. 🙂

– Consider 1000mg of cissus quadrangularis before lunch.

– Take 100–300mg of alpha-lipoic acid 30 min before dinner.

– Take 3,000–5,000iu of vitamin D before bed.

For now, that’s PLENTY! The 4-Hour Body (https://t.co/XQWd27YVze) will have much more to explore, if you like. Hardcover will be on its way to you.

Un abrazo!

There’s the Siraj we know. Has pulled it back. Let’s hope this gives him his confidence back!

[MagicElixirMixer.eth @saahilvp]

Sadly Siraj has been v poor in the World Cup. Someone needs to put an arm around him . Quality bowler - but his radar has been badly off. Nerves? #INDvsPAK

Remember when TradFi projects were built on private blockchains?

They are all being built on Ethereum today.

Progress.

There is no paradox. "Experts" want to dictate how Indians should run "democracy". Indians disagree.

If you can not see the patrimonial entitlement of experts wanting to domineer 1.3 bn people then it is your understanding of democracy that is in trouble not Indian democracy.

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

And we finalized!

Happy merge all. This is a big moment for the Ethereum ecosystem. Everyone who helped make the merge happen should feel very proud today.

Do you know a simple signature in Metamask can drain your wallet?

A very experienced user (top 10 by Degen Score) lost almost 500k USDC in an exploit today.

You could be next...

A short thread how it happened and how you can avoid such exploits in future.

[MagicElixirMixer.eth @saahilvp]

3/FWIW, I'm for scenario 2 with a healthy dose of realism about the threat & risks of a PoW hardfork, which as he says, strengthens the successful merge case & raises risks of price action being volatile post merge & not hitting the heights we would want.
Have a great weekend all

1/Arthur is such a gifted writer. Sharing this purely for the stage setting he does using the game of squash. Really did enjoy that. Whether you read the rest or whether you care about crypto and / or agree with his thesis...
