Markets today are faster, more accessible and increasingly always-on. For a new generation of traders, that could also mean a different approach to time, opportunity, and what they expect from the markets. But when it comes to trading, is moving faster always the answer? Or does staying power matter more? #VantagePoint# #247Trading# #WeekendTrading# #VantageMarkets# #vantage247# RISK WARNING: CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.

Gm fam. ☕️ From my vantage point, it looks like neither #AI# nor “high” interest rates have ended the world yet. Pour (another) one out for the Doomers in your life and on your timeline. Onward.

Big week for @Arbitrum. You probably missed some of these but from my vantage point: - Arbitrum became the first blockchain to reach 5,000+ tokenized real world assets - Became the fastest growing chain for tokenized funds in the last month - @StanChart initiated coverage on Arbitrum - Was in NYC this week. Above traction + the revenue accruing to the ethereum:0xb50721bcf8d664c30412cfbc6cf7a15145234ad1 holder-controlled treasury was the talk of a lot of institutional / capital markets conversations - Crossed over $5M+ in revenue in the last 30 days What am I missing?

The Tesla Roadster unveil and the demos they performed have collectively gotten over 10 billion views across all social media platforms since last night, and counting. (slow motion footage of the demos from my vantage point last night)

Today was my last day at @elicitorg, and a very sad day it is. I've been Elicit since we were @oughtinc, and its been an incredible vantage point from which to watch the world transform. I can't imagine a better place to have spent the last 3 years, or more lovely to people to have spent that time with. Au revoir Elicit

Our CEO and Co-Founder, @ml_angelopoulos, joined @kleinerperkins for a new episode of Grit. They discuss @arena's real-world vantage point on the rapid pace of AI progress: including how open models are closing key performance gaps, Chinese labs are advancing the frontier, and more.

The Swinging Eleven (written few years ago at Serengeti) Deep within the endless Serengeti,  At sun down, appear the swinging eleven, Kicking dust and swishing tails, The pachyderms slowly trailing the head, Silhouettes near the horizon, quickly looming close,  Filing past my vantage point, towards the watering hole Trunks full of water, for their daily dunk, To drink and soothe parched throats, Smearing mud, keeping the sun  and bees at bay, Trumpeting and rolling in a drunken brawl, Splashing and spreading noisy fun, Till darkness creeps, and shadows fall A low rumble, and the matriarch starts to move,  Steadily flapping her ears, a cue for the herd to tail, All but the merry calf, loath to leave the slush, Clambering to hide under a belly, But gently nudged ahead,  to tamely fall in, with the rest  Slowly trudging back, with the fading sun, The elephants soon disappear,  Into the wild welcoming fold Feeling bereft and forlorn, I wait for tomorrow, And the joy it brings, To watch the herd at play, Once again World Elephant Day

One of OpenAI's longest serving executives is headed out the door, although the longtime COO told staff that he was "excited to help you all advance the mission from a different vantage point."

WATCH IT TO BELIEVE IT 🌕 Italian photographer Valerio Minato has spent six years chasing an almost impossible composition: capturing Turin's Basilica of Superga, the jagged peak of Monviso, and the setting Moon in exact alignment 🤯 To make the scene truly magical, he needed a slender crescent displaying the rare "Da Vinci Glow"—a subtle, ghostly illumination across the Moon’s dark side caused by sunlight reflecting off Earth's oceans and clouds back into space. The vision began in 2017. Setting up on a hill in Castagneto Po, Minato calculated a vantage point roughly 25 kilometers from the basilica and over 100 kilometers from Monviso. Using a 400mm telephoto lens with an extender, his goal was extreme optical compression—flattening tens of kilometers of terrestrial terrain and 384,000 kilometers of cosmos into a single plane. The celestial mechanics were unforgiving. The Moon’s path only traced that precise azimuth in that exact phase for five or six days each year. From 2017 to 2022, every single attempt was ruined by cloud banks, winter fog, or thermal haze. At 6:52 PM on December 15, 2023, the skies finally cleared and the conditions converged. Because of Earth’s rotation, the alignment would last for a fleeting window of just 30 to 45 seconds. Shooting in the freezing dusk, Minato pressed the shutter the exact moment the lunar crescent embraced the cathedral's dome and alpine silhouette in a razor-sharp line. The resulting symmetry looked so surreal that social media quickly erupted with accusations of generative AI and Photoshop manipulation. To silence the skeptics, Minato released unedited behind-the-scenes video footage showing the Moon physically tracking behind the basilica’s cross in real time. Just ten days later, NASA erased any lingering doubt by selecting the shot as its Astronomy Picture of the Day on Christmas Day, 2023. A cosmic spectacle that lasted barely half a minute, brought to life by six years of persistence, telephoto optics, and orbital mathematics.
