@fundstrat had you mentioned A+ before? I hadn’t heard of that particular moonshot and can’t find much elsewhere.

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

@Badie912 do you know anything about the moonshot “A+” referenced at the 16:47 mark? I hadn’t heard of that before and haven’t been able to find anything.

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

Anyone have more info/press release on this $BMNR moonshot called A+ referenced in today’s video?

@Axel_bitblaze69 so how much does this Robinhood Chain success accelerate other companies/entities efforts? are people that matter seeing this and actually taking action?

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

brother you’ve really started thinking you’re the smartest person in the room a lot; even when the room is full of very successful people. it’s probably tough seeing followers and other metrics that are shiny but not actually representative of accomplishment increase and still be honest with yourself. you’re in Scott’s backpack as he climbs the mountain. yes, your elevation has changed but you aren’t the climber. and that’s okay until you start thinking you are qualified to critique other climbers.

you have to decide how much of your soul you are willing to sell for the reward of “increased engagement” (on a platform owned by a guy you dislike). and be sure you net out your calculation by subtracting the respect you lose from real people who used to value your takes prior to deciding that choosing a team gets better metrics than staying independent.

my wife wears stuff like this around the house and the other day I overheard her on the front porch talking to a young college-aged kid selling pest control plans door-to-door. it was a quick pitch & she declined but instead of leaving or even reframing the pitch he just continually came up with small talk. when she eventually came back in I realized immediately why he was happy to keep her talking.

it’s been quite clear you disagree with the expected valuation of this IPO but now you are saying SpaceX is a genuinely terrible company? look at all those unfortunate pensioners who put Tesla in their retirement at about $1/share split-adjusted. only up 400x and probably retired early and now have time to laugh at podcasters thinking they are investing experts.

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

bruh you are going so hard against this IPO. I applaud your hard work getting to where you are. but good podcaster isn’t the same as savvy investor. at least place a timeline & rough estimate of how low the stock will crash so we can track your results. too easy to say “told you” on 1 random dip.

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

@edels0n what is your investment track record? honest question because you are really outspoken on this IPO but I haven’t heard you mention your returns. overall or just big winners/losers would be informative for followers.

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

@edels0n what happened with you, man?

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

this guy bought the Apple Vision goggles, made a bunch of content then returned them 🤣. hadn’t checked on him since but earlier today I heard he’s on Rebellionaire payroll. now this. part of me honestly appreciates the hustle of the old $TSLA “influencers” but it also kinda bothers me to think “content” was the strategy and they apparently didn’t own many shares. because (as you know better than most of us) Plan A worked out big time. I retired at 43 off of it and still am heavily invested. you gotta keep busy of course but cash grab stuff seems odd (trying to be kind; not sure of the right word) if you’ve retired off investments.

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

interesting or pathetic? your post is great because it is worth voicing the truth about what some of us long time investors think about the cringe fanboys but I don’t think there is any chance they change their ways. you wonder how many shares they own because if they participated in life-changing wealth you wouldn’t think they’d still be optimizing for Twitter follower count. Elon responses are their real currency. I too look forward to a potential merger or the next real run to $700+ to lighten up again. I’m not in your league but in since 2013 and own my house and an X thanks to Elon & the hard work of Tesla employees.

I appreciate these posts (yours & others) and once in a while I discover an item I should buy but my takeaway (45 year old male) is almost always that certain guys (based on fitness, confidence, what you all now call aura) look pretty good even in clothes I think are awful and then certain dudes can spend over a thousand dollars on their outfit and still look dopey because they lack that certain something. it’s not a knock on these posts at all. I just think dudes who care about fashion should first get fit and work on self confidence before spending any money on clothes

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

If Elon is underwhelmed by retail investors’ understanding of the work that goes into swapping out one production line for another just wait until he hears some of the SpaceX questions after it goes public. No chance he does 2 of these calls per quarter. He might spontaneously just rage-merge the companies mid-call out of frustration. $TSLA

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

@wholemars the cringe part of being a Tesla follower. this dude has been like this since Elon invited him to the group interview. most people know the true point of investing and it’s not in hopes the CEOs will tell you you’re a good boy.

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

@TheSonOfWalkley that’s not what he said, at least not in the screenshot you posted…

man I’m going through this buying a car now. my current car has lasted almost 20 years so I’m at quite a different age & place in my life. can afford the majority of cars you’d see advertised on TV but when you strip out any of the “signaling” the purchase decision really changes. honestly I have found there is a strange dance you have to perform balancing the invaluable peace/contentment in yourself with consciously deciding where to spend (money, time) so everything doesn’t become TOO simplistic so as not to provide any joy/excitement even in the material things you know are no longer necessary for you to be happy.

[Stop Buying Vowels 🔮 @stopbuyingvwls]

@DrJStrategy do you think stablecoins and tokenization is already getting enough momentum behind the scenes that even if Clarity doesn’t pass we’ve reached escape velocity? or ETH and crypto in general are still reliant on this bill to really take off?
