According to internal FBI statistics, roughly 2,800 agents have left the bureau in the past year during Kash Patel's tenure as director. There has never been a more incompetent and disreputable FBI Director in American history. Patel has brought nothing but shame to the FBI.

Software is well positioned to see a sustained rally
Take $INTU for example, the leader in accounting software:
1. It has never been easier to start a business and those businesses will need accounting software
2. Businesses aren't going to vibe code their own accounting software. It's a small cost item and you need to make sure it's fully tax compliant. Links with govs are also needed so that they can automatically file your taxes.
3. I'm definitely not going to buy any software from vibe coded competitors. Vibe coded software is prone to security breaches for devs that don't fully know what they're now doing. Stick with the leaders that have secure, battle tested software.
4. Businesses are now subscribing to AI workloads inside their accounting software. For example, I subscribed to an AI which automatically classifies my costs, the result is that my P&L and accounting are now fully automatically generated.
So, EPS will likely accelerate from here, same with the PE multiple which has lots of potential for recovery. Attractive risk-reward

As previously noted , two key points were highlighted:
1. James Rob and Daniel Wang are required to report their work to IVC;
2. IVC was established in 2021 by two cofounders of Headline Asia ,Brian Lu
@LuBall13 adn Akio Tanaka
@tanakaakio
Now, for the crucial point:
Arthur Hayes—co-founder and co-owner of BitMEX—owns and operates a corporate entity named #
HeadlineAsia#.
Through this entity, he conducts trading activities on BitMEX, as well as on other cryptocurrency exchanges and with over-the-counter (OTC) trading partners. Furthermore, this entity has never been registered with the CFTC.
In other words:
1. Through HeadlineAsia , Arthur Hayes serves as one of the ultimate controlling persons of IVC, alongside Akio Tanaka;
2. Indirectly—via IVC and Malestorm— Arthur Hayes has also become one of the ultimate controlling persons of Aethir, alongside Akio Tanaka and James Rob .
Currently, in addition to being the founder of Malestrom, Arthur Hayes also serves as a board member of the Jackie Robinson Foundation

I hate seeing Fox, and other Conservative Outlets, constantly making Low Rated Bill Maher “relevant” as it pertains to the Republican Party, and beyond. Bill Maher is a weak and ineffective person who I got to know very well during my dinner with him at the White House. He was nervous, scared, and the first words he uttered as he entered the Oval Office were, “Can I have a drink?” It was very endearing but, at the same time, absolutely pathetic. He was much different from what people think but, last night, I happened to watch Gavin Newscum, an admittedly Low IQ person, who said he can’t read a speech, is dumb, and essentially, incompetent, and he took Bill Maher “over the coals.” Bill Maher was defenseless, and totally deficient. Either he didn’t have the knowledge, or he choked, because Gavin went on and on about how good California is doing, while it’s doing very poorly, having, by far, the worst year it’s ever had where, for the first time in History, more people are leaving than coming. Bill Maher started by saying that California was doing poorly, only to have Newscum speak for an extended period of time, and lie about the facts. All you have to do is look at what’s happened to Los Angeles, San Francisco, the horrendous homeless problem all over every street, the Railway catastrophe that is Billions of Dollars over budget, and has never been built, the inability to rebuild the 25,000 homes that were destroyed by the fire because he refused to allow water into the street from the Southwest (If it weren’t for our Superstar EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and me, they wouldn’t have any homes being built right now!). Fox should stop putting this person on. He’s not representing us. You look weak, stupid, and ineffective, and I hate seeing that. DON’T USE BILL MAHER ANY LONGER AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF YOU! I hate hearing that “Bill Maher said…” — Bill Maher is a MORON, though slightly more talented than Jimmy Kimmel. President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase:
Team,
Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future.
Why now
Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both.
First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth.
Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day.
All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core.
What this means
To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice?
- Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles.
- No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams.
- AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role.
In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs.
To those who are affected
I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done.
All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information.
To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements.
Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters.
How we move forward
To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together:
Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it.
The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission.

You've been stuck in 2 broken games:
- prediction markets that cap you at $1
- launchpads that never resolve

“I never got to experience the full range of emotions and feelings of being human … ”
“Anytime I tried to go off [SSRIs], it would throw me into such a severe panic.”
“Now I'm dealing with the realization that I've missed a lot of life.”
Nobody told Cameron LaBar that the side effects of SSRIs would completely change his life.
Take 2 minutes to hear his story:
“When you talk to a doctor about that, a very common response is: that is a part of your underlying condition, you probably need the medication.”
“It wasn't until I stumbled across a video from Mark [Horowitz] that suggested that these [symptoms aren’t] part of who I am.”
“It took me 20 years to find that out.”
“I've been tapering for about 3 years now.”
“I'm down to about 7.5 milligrams of Lexapro.”
“It's probably gonna take me another 3 to 5 years to get the rest of the way [off] given how these drugs work.”
“But imagine the fury, the rage of [realizing] I could have figured this out a lot sooner.”
“I could have functioned as a human being all along.”
“I could have had friendships.”
“I could have not been numb.”
“These are the things that I'm now struggling with.”
“A lot of my experience, year after year, has been discounted and affected by these drugs.”
If you had a similar experience to Cameron with psychiatric drugs, you are not alone.
We want to hear your story.
