The social trading meta around FOMO and PUMP right now is really interesting. A lot of these accounts are basically playing a weird version of the prisoner’s dilemma. They’re up enormous amounts of UPNL, while their main doxxed wallets are completely transparent for everyone to watch. There will absolutely be winners here that eventually get listed on venues with much deeper liquidity. But at current liquidity, a lot of these positions simply cannot be exited anywhere near the price they’re marked at. Some of the PNL you’re seeing could realistically be 3–4x what could actually be realized if someone tried to get out. And once everyone knows that, the game becomes pretty interesting. Also, shout out to @theunipcs. True talent at this game. Midas touch at this point.

Shopify billionaire co-founder & CEO Tobi Lütke — one of the most analytically rigorous founders alive — uses affirmations. His exact words: "If you tell yourself or write down something about yourself 100 times, it writes into the neurofrontal cortex at such a deep level that your brain will start reconciling you to that. It just works." His personal example: He was terrified of public speaking. For one week he sat down every day for 10 minutes and wrote: "I love public speaking." A week later the fear was gone. "It's not like a placebo. You just actively change your neurofrontal cortex in this moment." Your brain starts shaping your behavior around the identity you rehearse most.

There’s something powerful about seeing someone and thinking, “If that guy can do it, I can do it too.” More than 12 years ago, I was selling exotic cars to affiliate marketers. I assumed they were all computer hacker geniuses. I can barely turn my laptop on most days, so I figured this world wasn’t for me and stayed in my lane. Then one day, a guy walked into my office who was so dumb I’m not sure he could string two logical sentences together. I remember thinking “If this guy can do it, I can definitely do it.” That single thought changed the trajectory of my entire life. I pivoted, dove in headfirst, and figured it out as I went (I had the help of an amazing mentor named Dave) Last night, I was at a private e-commerce event and met a guy doing more than a billion dollars a year in sales. He’s relatively “new” to e-commerce, only five years in. I asked how he got started. He told me he saw a YouTube video of some guy doing massive numbers and thought, “If that guy can do it, I can do it too.” So he pivoted, dove in headfirst, and figured it out as he went. Now let me be that guy for someone else. I’m legitimately not smart. I’m technologically illiterate. I’m impulsive, impatient, disorganized, stubborn, and I have a wild temper. I’ve made nearly every mistake possible and invented a few new ones along the way. But somehow, I’m still doing it. You do not have to be the smartest person in the room. You just have to be willing to enter the room, get embarrassed, make mistakes, and stay long enough to figure it out. If I can do it, you can do it too. It’s that simple.

This is pretty much most of my friend's Airbnb stories I have no clue what @bchesky is doing every day He could stop removing negative reviews on Airbnb to make it better When people stop believing in Airbnb listings credibility, it creates such an anxiety around booking because you simply don't know if you will have an experience like the QT below And people will just go book elsewhere for more certainty, as I did We live in the time of honesty and transparency so Airbnb is literally off trend

My last Airbnb booking went so crazy that Airbnb deleted our review of her but kept her negative review of us She was mentally insane and threatening us so we mentioned that in the review, but that's "offensive" 😂

I wanted to give you a tip: when, after a significant pump, you see a flash dump caused by liquidations — like the one yesterday — an excellent spot buying opportunity often arises. The risk is very simple to manage: invalidation only comes with a daily close below the low of the flash dump candle. This way you have a contained risk and a very interesting potential risk/reward ratio. Don't be put off by the violence of the move: that's often precisely where the best trade comes from. The only challenge is being present and clear-headed when it happens.

I've always gotten the unshakeable sense that in the end, it all evens out. The guy with a six-figure salary in a nice neighborhood must deal with the boss -- but he gets a comfy life. The broke guy in an isolated village may be poor -- but his pace of life is relaxing, he fishes a lot, is never in a rush, etc. Basically add up any configuration of lifestyle stresses and benefits, total it up, and examine its inverse -- and the net amount of benefit and stress will wind up being the same in the end. There's not really any "getting ahead" so much as there is "choosing whatever schema of problems and enjoyments you'd most enjoy." Ever since this dawned on me it's really made life seem a little more playful. It's opened up the playing field mentally. Every choice I could make is just another, new configuration of stress and rewards, ultimately not better or worse than my own -- just different.

With cancer vaccines now being discovered with AI ($MRNA), it seems that the US government might actually grow its way out of its budget deficit. It feels like we're in the early innings of the healthcare system becoming unburdened by many terminal illnesses.

This is an unedited end-to-end demonstration of this type of next-owner installation. LESS THAN A MINUTE!! And that's with me typing slowly and enjoying the opening animation 😄
