Spencer Pratt on why he’s running for LA Mayor: “I’m doing this to fight evil, and evil has taken this beautiful city…” Friedberg: “ You're sitting down with your sons and they're saying, ‘Dad, what did you do to save LA?’ What do you tell them?” Spencer Pratt: “So to my sons, I'm showing them you can fight evil. These people are evil that let every innocent person that pays their taxes feel unsafe on their streets that they pay taxes for. A lot of people don't have money to do things because they pay all their taxes, like me, and then the city and the government fails them. And whether your house burns down or you’ve got a screaming drug addict in front of you, a naked drug addict in front of your kids causing trauma… there's people having literal drug addicts having sex on meth in front of kids. Parents are telling me they have to have their kids glued to an iPad in the backseat of their cars driving them to school. In other communities, they have to walk under these underpasses and walk past this. So I'll be able to tell my sons, thank God America had laws, and your dad said, 'Hey, breaking news, let's enforce them.' And we did it, and it worked, and then people came in with tons of money, and we got businesses booming, more jobs. Hollywood, we’re making even better movies than we've made in 10 years because the independent creative artists are inspired again. They're feeling supported. The vision is so real, and that's my fight. I go back to, if God is burning somebody's house down to fight these people, you're burning my house down, and then you burn my mom's house down, and you have me listening to my crying mom every day for 18 months. I do this to fight evil, and this is evil that has taken this beautiful city” @friedberg @spencerpratt --------------------------------------- Thanks to our partner for making this possible Most advertisers have never heard of the platform with an $11B annual run rate in ad spend. by AppLovin — 1B+ daily active users, full-screen video ads watched for a median of 35 seconds, and businesses are profitably spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a day on it.

If you want to stop impulse trading, a quick hack is to just go date people. I’m not joking. This actually works. (unless you’re married then just ignore this) I discovered this by accident during a phase where I was making absolutely dogshit trading decisions. Since then, “go date someone” has basically become an external part of my trading system. Because impulse trading isn’t really about charts or setups. It’s about getting trapped inside a sick mental tunnel against yourself. Your attention locks onto one anchor, usually the chart, and your emotions start looping. Greed, anxiety, hope, regret, all feeding each other. Once you’re in that state, using pure mental power like “discipline” or “strong willpower” to pull yourself out is almost impossible. It's like trying to tell yourself to stop thinking about a pink elephant. The more you try NOT to think about it, the more… you think of a pink elephant! I tried everything to break the cycle. Strict rules. Trading journals. Even stupid sticky notes on my desk screaming “DON’T DO IT”. Obviously, getting brutally liquidated multiple times did toughen my mentality. But that’s NOT something you can strategically repeat or rely on. It’s too destructive. Anything lighter, anything that doesn’t seriously fuck up your life, never worked consistently for me. Then something unexpected happened. A friend set me up on a blind date right in the middle of a trading day. I was pissed at first. I was still pulling out my phone every 10 minutes, checking charts like a maniac. Then she casually asked, “btw, are you into techno?” My brain just stopped. For the first time in weeks, I completely forgot about the charts. 3 hours straight. The dopamine hit from human connection completely overrode my trading obsession. Think about it like this. When you try to suppress trading urges (aka human nature), it's like pushing a beach ball underwater. It ALWAYS pops up with more force. So instead of trying to FIGHT human nature, you GO WITH IT. STOP trying to kill the desire. STOP trying to erase the energy. You REDIRECT the same energy to something else. JUST CHANGE THE TARGET. This isn't about willpower. It's about understanding that your brain needs something engaging to focus on. And faces are literally more engaging to our brains than charts could ever be. I started scheduling dates strategically during my most impulsive trading periods. My trading account literally grew more when I was actively dating because I made fewer emotional trades. The best part is you don't even need successful dates. Just the act of getting out and connecting with someone new (and someone you like😉) breaks that obsessive cycle. For married folks, maybe schedule intense social activities instead. Anything that FORCES you out of your trading bubble works. The truth is, we all know WHEN we're entering that dangerous trading mindset. We just IGNORE the warning signs. So next time you feel yourself getting sucked into chart-watching obsession, close the laptop and go on a date. Your portfolio will thank you. And hey, you might just find someone special in the process😉 Trading discipline through dating might sound ridiculous. But it's literally become an essential part of my trading system.

💾😂 It’s actually wild that Gen Z has never experienced the pure serotonin of watching MS-DOS DEFRAG do its little block dance. Your 4GB 386 is choking on life? Just run DEFRAG and stare at it like it’s 1993 Netflix. Don’t fight the hypnosis… become one with the pixels.😵‍💫

The OrderX $BTC Update: 1️⃣ The VRP Blowout: Realized Vol has died (27%), yet Implied Vol is vertical (36%). A 9-point IV-RV spread means the market is paying a massive up for a move that hasn't happened yet. The gap between expectation and reality is at a monthly high. 2️⃣ The Defensive Scramble: Tomorrow’s expiry (13/05) is being bid up by +4.32%. More importantly, Risk Reversal is cratering—institutional desks are scrambling for Puts to protect the $80k handle. The "Smart Money" is bracing for a headline. 3️⃣ The Slippery Zone: Spot is riding a Negative Gamma pocket. Dealers are no longer your "stabilizers"; they are the accelerators. If $80k holds, we trade to $85k. If it snaps, dealer hedging will turn a dip into a gap down. The OrderX Verdict: Buying the "wings" is expensive, but the Negative Gamma at spot makes Long Straddles attractive if you bet on the expansion. Don't fight the dealer-hedging feedback loop.

A lot of investors here on X are currently investing good money into really shit companies because they want to be the genius that finds the next big thing. Sometimes it's better to just be boring and hold what everyone else also knows are the winners. Nothing wrong with being consensus and right. Sure contrarian and right will give crazy returns, but most picks are contrarian and wrong. For example being in software was just a bad place to be last few months. Don't fight the market like that. There's much easier money to be made in all the obvious names.

The U.S. debt problem might already be mathematically unfixable. Matthew Piepenburg argues the Fed literally can't fight inflation as Volcker did in the 1980s. Because America is now sitting on roughly $40 TRILLION in debt. Higher rates don't solve the problem anymore. They actually make it worse. Way worse. His conclusion: more money printing, more financial repression, and a slow erosion of dollar dominance. You can't rate-hike your way out of a debt trap. The math doesn't math.

You won’t find the enemy of the American people abroad. The enemy is right here at home inside of our own government and inside of the boardrooms of corporations. The enemy is our own politicians in both parties who’ve turned our government into a money laundering operation for corporations, billionaires, the war machine, and Israel. The enemy is billionaire shareholders and CEOs who make their wealth off the mass exploitation of our labor and mass extraction of resources that belong to our communities. The insane part of all of this and a big reason the people don’t rise up and fight for what we deserve is a large swath of the population has been indoctrinated to not only blame foreign countries, but also to worship the real enemy. That’s right millions of Americans actually worship the politicians and billionaires who rig the system against us. It’s not an accident either. They program you to worship the ruling class so you won’t fight back against them. Until this changes, nothing changes. Until Americans stop voting for Republicans and Democrats, stop worshipping the rich, and start fighting for a new system that puts people over profits we will remain forever stuck in this endless cycle of corruption.
