@realEstateTrent You could make the same basic assumption about S&P 500. Bitcoin has more of an asymmetric opportunity based on mcap vs. gold. Nothing is guaranteed and the path is volatile. Casual investors likely can’t stomach it is the catch. It takes conviction and low time preference.
@FitFounder I've been taking 5g of creatine regularly for years and occasionally 10-15g to help with sleep deprivation. Recently, I noticed my blood pressure was fairly high, so I stopped creatine to see if it made a difference. After stopping, my blood pressure returned to normal. 😔
I just called the mother of Ross William Ulbright to let her know that in honor of her and the Libertarian Movement, which supported me so strongly, it was my pleasure to have just signed a full and unconditional pardon of her son, Ross. The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me. He was given two life sentences, plus 40 years. Ridiculous!

Pudgy Penguins flips CryptoPunks as the top PFP collection - @capradavis
In 2024, direct value accrued through airdrops ($PENGU) and external protocol distributions. With Abstract Chain's launch, further value accrual is available.
The Pudgy brand is expanding rapidly in both Web3 and mainstream markets, boosting its community value and cultural status.
If the election outcome is as I expected, it should cause the large minority of the country who supported @KamalaHarris and predicted her victory to begin to question their sources of truth.
Half the country has believed that @X is filled with mis- and disinformation, and that they could only therefore rely on The NY Times, MSNBC, CNN and other mainstream media for their news. And they did.
If, however, you have been active on @X for the last year, you have known the truth days, weeks and often months before the facts appear in the MSM.
The MSM excerpted, clipped and cut to defame @realDonaldTrump while claiming that @JoeBiden was fit as a fiddle. Then when Biden’s polls collapsed, @KamalaHarris was anointed the candidate and her hagiography was written with glowing acclaim from the press. But this could not hold as she ducked the media and held fast to the teleprompter.
Citizen journalists with their phone cameras in hand captured the real Kamala forcing her to defend her record and her plans in more media appearances. It did not go well and the public demanded to learn more so @KamalaHarris had to risk more unscripted media.
The doom loop was underway with perhaps 60 Minutes as one of the more dramatic examples, even after CBS tried to save her, most glaringly by excerpting one answer to replace a word salad response to another. But the citizen journalists on @X quickly caught and outed this fraud and demanded a transcript.
As many who supported Kamala began to realize that they have been misled, they became open to Trump as an alternative, but they didn’t want to rely on the media to understand him because they did not want to be misled again.
They wanted to hear the candidate in his own words and that is where @lexfridman and @joeroganhq long form podcasts came to the rescue. When Kamala was offered the same opportunities to explain herself, she rejected them. And the voting public could only draw a negative inference.
When the story of this election is written, I expect it will be as much about how half of America woke up to the reality that they have been manipulated by the media. This should lead to an abandonment by many of the MSM as their primary source of information. It will push more people to @X, to podcasts and other empirical sources, and it will lead to a more informed public.
The other outcome I hope happens is the implosion of the Democratic Party. The Party lied to the American people about the cognitive health and fitness of the president. It prevented, threatened, litigated and otherwise eliminated the ability of other candidates for the primary to compete, to get on ballots, and to even participate in a debate. The Party and the administration used lawfare in an attempt to imprison, bankrupt or otherwise kill off Trump as a candidate. These acts are collectively grave threats to our democracy. With the highest irony in order to hide these acts, the Party accused the opposition candidate of being the grave threat to democracy.
The Democratic Party proved itself to be fundamentally undemocratic. It needs a complete reboot. The leadership should be thrown out and those responsible should apologize to the American people.
Honest Abe said it best:
You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
Agreed - Massachusetts residents should vote for @JohnEDeaton1
Crypto holders in MA should realize @SenWarren is the one who got Gary Gensler his job and encouraged him to (unlawfully) try and kill the crypto industry in America. Luckily they did not succeed as we and others fought back.
She is anti-freedom, thinks the government should run all financial services (similar to China), and has done enormous harm to this country.
@twobitidiot This feels like such low hanging fruit. Unfortunate that so many young folks have bought into the depresso overpopulation/climate narrative in the US. I would easily go for 4.
As a parents with teenagers, being the bad guy by limiting their social media has been a path to exhaustion and constant bickering (at least in my home).
So having the gvt back me up and do the obvious and sensible thing will give me, as a parent, more reinforcement when not giving my kids social media until 16. Frankly, I’m going to try and limit it until they are 18.
The ability to point to the gvt backing me up, ideally rooted in research and mental health gives me a shot at framing the long term effects of social media like other impactful products/technologies - there’s positives and negatives so take your time.
Gvt action isn’t the solution to everything, or most things for that matter, but limiting social media is definitely an obvious one and will result in healthier kids.
