Making mistakes and learning from them

[Killa @KillaXBT]

They want lower until lower actually comes, then they want even lower.

[quantdata21 @quantdata21]

If I had to summarise the timeline:

Peak at 87k happened and correction to 70-75k, OR slightly higher to 93-95k and then the correction, with either scenario causing chop and volatility in Q4.
------------------
I am not currently in this camp. I think there's more chance we go straight to all time highs and absolute decimate sideliners and 'wait for Q4' buyers.
Comparing to early 2023 is not adequate. Macro is red hot - now is the time, especially while no one gives a f.

Consensus is max bearish for August and September, and max bullish October.

At $6 a share, Simon becomes a billionaire after this. Think about that.

Ran a hotel company bankrupt, missing the Bitcoin goals for 2026 and likely 2027, went radio silent when investors asked questions (didn't disclose things in English) and personally incentived himself

Your brain is hostage. Your entire personality is hostage.

You cannot grasp how much better your life will become if you stop watching TV, using social media and all overstimulation.

Reduce your activities to only:
-Work
-Reading (fiction is fine)
-Exercise
-Low-stimulation creative hobbies (guitar, writing, etc.)
-Direct human interaction

No scrolling. No TV. No drinking. No video games.
Intentional. Purposeful. Boredom.

Through this boredom your brain will reach absurd clarity. Left alone, this clarity will turn towards things that improve your life. Those things will become addictively fun.

Here are two simple ways to test yourself.
A) Crack open a fiction novel. A good one, so you have no excuses. Can you sit and read for an hour straight?

95% of people cannot do this.

B) During the day, measure how much time you spend doing nothing.

If you are like most people, there is not a single moment where you sit with your thoughts. Zero moments where you allow yourself to be bored. Every empty moment is filled with a screen/some form of stimulation.

If you can't do A...And B is out of control...The solution is to simply...Start practicing both.

Drop all the overstimulation. Give yourself only 4 options.

Work
Read
Exercise
Sit and be bored

That's it.

You will be shocked how easy 1, 2 and 3 become when you don't give your brain any other option.

Even better...You will notice your personality and creativity returns...that vibe you had when you were a kid...when you allow your brain to just sit...

Do it. You'll unlock super powers.

We are pleased to announce that Metaplanet has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of Siiibo Securities, a licensed Type I securities firm and a pioneer of Japan's online corporate bond market. Following closing, expected in July, the company will be renamed Metaplanet Securities. This is Metaplanet's first major acquisition and the first concrete step in Project Nova, our long-term strategy to build a Bitcoin-centric financial ecosystem in Japan.

The significance is hard to overstate. Japanese households hold roughly $7.4 trillion in cash, deposits and low-yield products, and as Japan shifts from deflation to inflation, that capital has begun searching for yield. By bringing Siiibo's Type I registration and online securities platform into the group, we will develop and distribute Bitcoin-related yield products directly to Japanese investors, supported by the 40,177 BTC on our balance sheet, the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury in Asia.

We have great respect for Kazuki Komura and the team at Siiibo Securities and what they have built. Together, as Metaplanet Securities, we will bring new yield opportunities to Japan.

Mindset of a guy who bootstrapped to a billion a year, w a sweatshirt brand

It's like adam neumann - through sheer force of will and self belief, this guy just relentlessly started putting dents into the universe until it gave him what he wanted

if you’re young, lost in life, with almost no money:

book a flight ticket to SEA. it literally doesn’t matter which country you pick

could be Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia

go there for at least 2 weeks. by yourself.

sleep in hostels, connect with other travelers, enjoy life for a bit

take your laptop with you so you can start to work on the ideas you had in the back of your mind

and see how your perspective will shift. you will see life differently. you will feel happier. more energized.

you will gain mental clarity, discover that life can be something else

the new connections you’ll make will make you a more fulfilled human being

just do it and see what happens. trust me, it’s worth it

[Usopp @Usoppu]

by the age of 30, i had visited almost 40 countries-and most of it happened when i had less than $5000 in my bank account

I also lived in france, turkey, serbia, cambodia - moving to each of them when i only had four figs too.

in 2018 i spent under $2000 going from germany > italy > slovenia > croatia > bosnia > serbia > kosovo > bulgaria > north macedonia > albania

in 2014 i spent around $500 doing a month in thailand > cambodia > vietnam

I also did trips under $1000 to czech > slovakia > austria, hungary and then also belgium > netherlands in recent years

travel doesn’t have to be expensive or perfectly planned - it just has to start. the world is more affordable and welcoming than most people think.

just go

living or traveling abroad alone helps to build deep self-reliance, confidence, and adaptability by forcing you out of your comfort zone to manage all logistics and make every decision yourself.

It teaches you to trust your intuition, manage anxiety, and embrace independence. it also fosters social skills, enhances personal growth, and teaches you to cherish freedom.

priceless life experience.

Sourround yourself with people who make you believe in a bigger version of yourself, not force you to adopt a smaller version of yourself to accommodate their smaller version of themselves.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

A man who studies his own patterns with brutal honesty eventually becomes harder to manipulate, because once he understands where he typically bends, panics, or seeks comfort, he can anticipate his own weaknesses and close the gaps before someone else exploits them.

Broke: Buy oil.
Woke: Buy the companies drilling it.
Bespoke: Buy the things that oil profits eventually buy.

Flow of liquidity: First order asset → Second order assets → Third order assets.

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

Sex feels different when you never masturbate.

Getting drunk feels different when you have reasons to celebrate.

Cheat meals feel different when you keep a strict diet.

Spending money feels different when you're rewarding yourself for your hard work.

Dear son,

Earn your fun.
