You can predict your future! Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold firmly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. The uncertainty of tomorrow Luke 12:19-20 Then I will say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take it easy. Eat, drink, and be merry!" But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night, your life will be required of you. As many might assume, whatever happens to us may be based on random selection. Many can plan for tomorrow, but there is no assurance that things will go as planned. Like in a card game, no one is in control of the cards in a card game as no one is in control of one's fate; all go by chance and probability. There is only so much we can do, and the rest is in the hands of GOD. As Solomon stated, "Time and chance happen to all."  There is no certainty about what the future might bring because no one knows what surprises tomorrow might hold. Today, we might be wise in our eyes, but when tomorrow comes, the situation might turn against us, and what wisdom is becomes foolishness. Or what is good might turn sour, what is fast might break down, or what is strong becomes weak. Tomorrow is a game changer, ushering in changes and new challenges, obsolating the old and giving birth to the new. If we are not careful, we might be caught off guard and be thrown into the ocean under the mercy of the unpredictable storm called tomorrow that can sink any ship. Today's success does not mean a successful tomorrow. When tomorrow's earthquake comes, it will level down any giant, making a joke of anyone's hard work. Therefore, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent nor the favour to the skilful. That is the reality that all have to face. The certainty in the uncertainty Psalm 1:3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does. If everyone's life is laced with uncertainty, then what certainty can we expect? As Jesus described, our precariousness is like the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow, thrown into the furnace. That means today, we can be happily swaying in the field, enjoying the breeze, and tomorrow, we will be burned in the furnace. What hope do we have in an ever-changing environment where today's field might become tomorrow's fury furnace to us? If we want to avoid such precarious moments, we must be like a tree and not grass. We cannot be any ordinary tree but a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither and who prospers in all he does. Such a tree is not affected by dry spells or storms that threaten its existence or uproot it. Beneath the tree, where no one can see, is living water, nourishing the tree from physical damage, threats or dangers. Sun or rain, nothing is going to affect the growth of the tree. It can only get bigger and stronger every day, bearing fruit —a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold. The certainty Matthew 5:17-18 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Unbeknown to many, in the world of uncertainty, there is certainty, and it is found in the law. A law describes the outcome under certain conditions and predicts what will happen as long as those conditions are met. Even when heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Hence, everything in the entire universe happens according to Law—there is no such thing as chance. Every effect must have a cause, and in turn, that cause must have an effect. Thus, we have the perpetual, never-ending cycle of cause and effect. In farming terms, we reap what we sow. In scientific terms, it is the equal and opposite reaction of every action. In spiritual terms, it is karma or retribution. In idiomatic terms, it is the chickens who come home to roost. The predictability of the law Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then, you will prosper and succeed in all you do. No matter what terms we use to define certainty, the message is clear: nothing happens by random selection or chance. The uncertainty that many face is the certainty of an outcome because they are not under the protection of the law. Simply explain, those who live in obedience to the law live in certainty that things will work out as planned, while those who live in disobedience to the law live in uncertainty that nothing will work out as planned. That is to say, the law protects all who obey. Those who disobey will have to face the penalty of the law. Regardless of whether it is common law, scientific law or spiritual law, all have the same power to enforce their predicted outcome. If they cannot, then they are good practices, good to know but not necessary to follow. Therefore, whatever we do, we should not trespass any law and expect to get away. There is no getting away until every arrears is paid. No man is above the law. Galatians 3:11 For it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."  As much as we think we are free to do what we want, no one is entirely free to do so. We are free to do as we wish, but only within the boundary of the law, not just spiritual but scientific or common law. Once we cross the boundary, we walk out of the hedge of protection of the law. We have to suffer the consequences of our actions. It is similar to observing the traffic rules. If we don't, the predictable outcome will, indeed, ultimately, be hit by other vehicles. We do not need watchful eyes to enforce the punishment. The traffic system can self-regulate itself and eliminate the offender. If one gets into an accident, there are three predictable outcomes: injuries, death or license suspension. If we do not want to end up with such curses, we should be obedient and observe the law. Ignorance of the law Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." However, many things are easier said than done. No one wants to trespass the law and add curses into one's life. Many of us are like Eve, not knowing what we are doing. We are like grass that cannot go through any strong wind, unlike a tree that goes unaffected by the storm of life. The difference is that one does not know the rules of the game, while the other does. If we do not want to be like grass that is constantly tossed around by the whims and fancies of the wind until we do not know what we are doing, we must precisely understand the requirements of the law. Then, we will be like a tree drawing living water, where the storm is nothing but a breeze. However, The law is not a friend but a foe. Galatians 5:17-18 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if the Spirit leads you, you are not under the law. As much as we want to obey the law and live under its protection or provision, it is beyond our human nature. Obeying the law is more complex than turning to the right or the left. It is more than stopping when the traffic light turns red and moves on when it turns green. That was the mistake the Israelites made when they were at Mount Sinai when they said, "We will do everything that the LORD has spoken." They wrongly assumed that doing everything that GOD has spoken about was as easy as moving out of Egypt with GOD parting the way and levelling all obstacles. Unbeknownst to them, that was courtship. The real test was in the marriage when they agreed to GOD's proposal. That innocent statement of 'I do' sealed their fate and everyone's fate from then on to be under the law. With their consensus, GOD issued His house's rule, the Ten Commandments. From then on, everyone who wants to be with GOD enters into a covenant relationship with Him, and those who obey will be blessed, while those who cannot will be cursed. The law condemns Romans 4:14-15 For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless, and the promise is worthless because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression. In courtship, God did everything for the Israelites. After marriage, as in all marriages, the Israelites had to DIY. Therefore, in the Book of Numbers, chapter 14, the Israelites wanted to divorce God because they did not want to DIY with the giants. The treatments, figuratively speaking, before marriage were not the same after marriage. GOD's purpose in His law is, unlike other laws, to reveal our sins. The law was given to prove otherwise to what the Israelites thought, 'We will do everything that the LORD has spoken'. We cannot do what GOD wants because of our fallen nature. The law is to catch our weaknesses and prove our need for GOD. As Jesus commented, apart from Him, we can do nothing. Recalibration John 15:5 I am the vine, and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me, you can do nothing. Despite our best efforts, nothing will go as planned because we are not the game masters. Only GOD is. We are only game players. As long as we are not the game masters, we cannot control the game. Therefore, our destiny is in the hand of He who holds it. That is that much we can do to ensure success. We like kites; if the wind does not pick us up to soar through the sky, we are nothing but some beautifully crafted paper. Even if we are not the game masters, GOD is good because He plays by His rules. As long as we act according to His rules, against our fallen nature, whatever we do will be according to His Word. That is the certainty of our future according to GOD's Word. Conclusion: Matthew 7:17-18 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. If we want to be successful in all that we do, we cannot be the lords of our lives. We cannot listen to ourselves and be wise in our eyes. Instead, we must be wary of our fallen nature, which will lead us away from the way of GOD and guide us to an aimless life. Today, if we look within and are unhappy with ourselves and what we are doing, then we are guided not by the Word but by our fallen nature. The fruit of our decision will never lie. If it is from GOD, it will be a good fruit. If not, it will be a rotten fruit. If we are not getting the result that we want, we must go back to GOD's Word and reexamine our lives. Prayer and positive proclamation will not make what is wrong right. Ignorance is not excusable. GOD rules everything according to His Book. As long as we do everything according to the Book, our lives are as predictable as written in the Book. GOD will have to act according to His Word, and we can predict the outcome as promised. Prayer: Thank you, GOD, for your Word. That is my trust and strength. Nothing will be done out of the context of your Word. No one can stand against your Word or override it. Help me keep it in my heart that I may not sin against You. Instead, I can predict my future according to Your Word. Amen.

Understanding His Faithfulness Psalm 100:5 For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations. Have we ever wondered why Jesus came only approximately 4000 years after Adam? There are estimated to be thirty-four generations from Adam to Abraham and forty-two generations from Abraman to Jesus, totalling seventy-six generations. The figures imply that salvation came after 4000 years and seventy-six generations later. Are these figures just numbers, or is there significance in them? Many might be unaware that GOD not only speaks through His Words but also His actions. Therefore, the Bible consists of more than the law, rules, and practices. It consists of stories and events that reflect the act of GOD in the lives of His people. When GOD says He will be good to His people, the stories will reflect His goodness to His people. Then, the next question we will ask is, how many times? If it is all the time, then there must be sufficient records proving it. Basically, GOD will do what He says and what He says are not empty words. Hence, the Bible records the events as testimonies of GOD's goodness. If GOD says He will show loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments, He will do it. Even if the promise is yet to be fulfilled, then heaven and earth will have to wait for Him to fulfil His promise before the world can come to an end or anything else can happen that will jeopardise His promise. If not, GOD does not live up to His Words, speaking in a figure of speech and exaggeration. It means He cannot be trusted, overpromising and under-delivering. Therefore, GOD let time prove everything, and what He says is true. GOD took 4000 years and seventy-six generations to demonstrate His faithfulness to His Word. Despite all the unfaithfulness from His people through the generations, God remains faithful and even sends Jesus to the cross for His unrepentant people. In any given situation, even if all have given up, GOD will never give up. GOD has to prove Himself faithful even in our unfaithfulness. Paul asserts that if we are faithless, GOD remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. Therefore, time became the acid test of GOD's true nature. He is what He is according to His Words, without addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division to them. When GOD says, 'My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish,' there can be no deviation. And if GOD says a thousand generations to those who love Him, it must be a thousand generations and nothing less. Just imagine someone telling us something, giving us a solemn promise, and at the end of it, saying he was joking and did not mean what he said. GOD is not like that; He is not a Joker, and He does not joke with His promises. GOD is faithful in His promises, but not all promises are easy to grant, especially those involving the destruction of our enemies. Because being kind to one is being cruel to the other, we must be patient with GOD because all things must happen according to His will in His time. Our enemies are nothing more than good people being disobedient. Therefore, many things cannot be rushed, and we must understand that if it is not within GOD's perfect timing, we cannot see the promise. It is written in Hebrews that many were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised. To say it bluntly, GOD did not save them from their enemies because the timing was not right. The reality of living in the dualistic world is that for good to live is for evil to die, or for light to exist is for darkness to vanish. Therefore, if it is not time for GOD to destroy evil like the way GOD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, then the good will have to suffer. When we pray for GOD to deliver us from evil, and if it is not happening, it is not that GOD is dead, but we need to have patience. As much as GOD wants to deliver us from our sufferings by destroying evil, He first needs to save those still in bondage to evil. In Epistle 2 Peter writes: The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. As long as there is a possibility that someone might change his heart for GOD, GOD is willing to wait. It is similar to taking a plane. As long as we have checked for departure, the plane will wait even though we are late for boarding. Therefore, Jesus said, "And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them at the last day. For it is My Father's will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him at the last day." In other words, as long as our names are in GOD's manifest, we will never miss the plane. God is adamant about fulfilling His promises on the one condition that none of His chosen ones perish, but everyone comes to repentance. That is GOD's faithfulness. Only when GOD is assured that all who are good have left the so-called Sodom and Gomorrah will He show no mercy in destroying it. GOD is answerable to those who love Him and keep His commandments to be faithful to their thousand generations. There is a little secret here. If we want to see our children, grandchildren, and many generations after that be well, we must love GOD and keep His commandments faithfully and carefully. Even if we are not good parents and grandparents, GOD will not fail us in taking care of them. In other words, when we are faithful to GOD, He will take care of our fruit. It is when we take care of the roots, and the fruits will take care of themselves. When we have strong roots with GOD, our fruit will naturally be strong. Even when we are long gone, His faithfulness will never leave them. In view of GOD's commitment to the descendants of those who love Him, He must be faithful not only to the living but also to the dead. GOD is in a tight spot, having to find a fair balance between them. Therefore, in the parable of the weeds, GOD did not remove the weeds from the wheat but let them grow together until harvest. There is another way of looking at this parable. GOD is faithful even to the evil ones, as seen in the parable. He will not prematurely remove the weeds until harvest, giving the weeds a chance to be full-grown before they are removed. The epistle of James writes: Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Only when sin is full-grown will it lead to death. Any time shorter than full-grown, GOD will not sentence them to death. That is GOD's mercy and grace. Though a weed cannot change to a wheat, a man can change from one who belongs to evil to good. The penitent thief on the cross next to Jesus changed in his last hours. If GOD had prematurely removed him, he would have missed his salvation. Many times, we will not understand GOD's wisdom, especially those whom the thief stole from. Just imagine the frustration, anguish, and suffering the thief would have caused if he had stolen from the poor, needy and helpless. We must know that a thief has no morals; if not, he would not be stealing. He would not have considered the consequences of his actions to his victims. Despite all the evil he had done, everything could be forgiven through Jesus. To the thief, this is grace, but to his victims, it is injustice and unfairness. That is the fact, whether we like it or not. GOD is not going to ostracise the thief for us. It becomes our obligation to forgive if we love GOD. To forgive is a huge obstacle we must overcome. As Jesus taught us to pray: And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. Instead of hating our enemies, we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, that we may be sons of our Father in heaven. If we do not forgive, GOD is not going to forgive us. Therefore, when we meet with our oppressors, we must be magnanimous and forgive. No matter how unwilling we feel, this unwillingness will turn to willingness if we understand how much Jesus suffered for us. If we are reluctant because we cannot see the pain of Jesus on the cross, then we will lose more than what we have lost: our eternity. Never be penny wise, pound foolish. Therefore, when we pray, please refrain from praying for the death of our enemies or curse them to hell. That is not biblical. All we can do is to ask GOD to deliver us from our enemies. Anything more than that is evil. We must understand that GOD hates the sin but loves the sinners. Therefore, when sinners oppress us, we must learn to forebear and not sin against GOD by complaining. We must remember the condition of GOD's forgiveness is that we forgive those who sin against us. As in the story of the prodigal son, GOD shows His faithfulness by His willingness to wait and keep on waiting for His sons to come back. However, it is on His terms and not on their terms. That wait can be as many years as it needs, as nothing can stop GOD from being faithful. In our lifetime, we can only see a fraction of GOD's divine plan, not the whole plan. Therefore, we must have faith in GOD as Abraham did when GOD promised to make him a great nation and that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. Abraham never once saw any of those happen. GOD is faithful; even when Abraham was long gone, GOD ensured that He fulfilled what He promised. What can we understand through this? We count our time by years within a lifetime, while GOD counts His by generations by thousands of years. What is considered a long time to us is not long to Him. Though long, GOD's plan is not infinite but finite, with a definite beginning and an ending. Within His allocated time, He will demonstrate who He is through the lives of His people. If GOD does not prove Himself, what He says might be empty words. However, when GOD reveals Himself, it is not as simple as writing a book. His Words must become life, force or energy to His people, leading the way and revealing the truth. When we want to know GOD, we must read His actions. As action speaks louder than words, we must countercheck His Word with His action to know His true intent. His actions are a way GOD uses to define His Word so that there is no misinterpretation. If GOD says He loves us, then how much does He love us? For that, He has to show us through His action. If GOD does not demonstrate it, then what is the value of His Word? When GOD says He loves us, it means He is willing to die for us. That is when we see GOD as Christ on the cross. That far exceeds any love declaration from any man to his lover. Without His actions, we cannot understand the magnitude of His love. Therefore, be highly suspicious of salesmen promoting GOD, like selling snake oil, with their stories and testimonies from their unverified scriptwriters, which are fictitious. Do not be swept away like Eve did by the words of the Serpent. Be also suspicious of false prophets who weave lies with the truth. Only the Bible is the officially accepted Word of GOD. Therefore, please do not believe in any unofficial sources that will convince us with a bit of truth and lead us to lies. GOD has used 4000 years to write about Himself in His stories, and they should be enough to lead us through the most one hundred and twenty years of our lives. Prayer: Thank you, God, for your faithfulness to me through time and generations. Your faithfulness knows no boundary or obstacle. Even when I am unfaithful and evil, you remain faithful. Your love for me will never change. As you will never give up on me, let me not give up on myself. Continue to be that hand that lifts me when I fall and to guard me from my foolishness as I find my way home to you. Amen.

Lessons To My Future Bull Market Self: This is partly to keep me accountable during bull market euphoria and also serves as a guide for those coming into the markets for their first cycle. I’d be extremely impressed if you managed to “make it” the first time and even more impressed if you managed to keep it. The former isn’t even the hard part. It is very much the latter. A blind Bored Ape Yacht Club member could make money in a roaring bull market. This is why many enter the markets for the first time and throw money at something they saw on Twitter, hear from a colleague or (the best one) get shilled by their Uber driver and convince themselves they have cracked the markets. Stuff goes up because more money flows into the system. The opposite is also true. Hence the past 2 years of pain. Your mission, if you choose to accept it… is to bet on the fastest and fittest horses in the race. This way you don’t miss an opportunity of a lifetime sat holding some worthless piece of shit whilst the rest of the people around you are making serious dough. There are plenty of ways to get to that arbitrary number that you think will help you achieve eternal happiness. Whether it will or not is a different matter. The following are some of the most important points that I have sat and stewed over which I think were at times the parts I personally went wrong in the last cycle, primarily. 2017 was just a blur. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing if I am honest. If you check the residuals in my Coinbase account it would be very embarrassing indeed. The last cycle was infinitely better from a performance perspective. That being said, in hindsight, there were still so many stupid and silly mistakes that either stunted my portfolio growth or cost me a small fortune in losses. Let’s get to it. Disclaimer: If you are not mature enough to read this and take responsibility for your own actions in the markets please just stop reading. There are probs a few things I have missed that I will add on as time goes by and I get a brain zap and remember. This is not financial advice, I am extremely stupid. You will lose all your money listening to me Stay Curious and Try Shit - Funnily enough, I think this applies more to people who may be on their second or third cycle. Naturally, when you come into the markets for the first time, all you want to do is digest information and buy shit. The further down the rabbit hole you go the more likely you are to find something early. The reinforcement of making great returns from being early encourages you to continue your exploration of the crypto/on-chain world. Always maintain this edge of being one of the first to try shit out. You never know when you will stumble upon something great. As a bull cycle goes on the edge in the markets tends to erode due to increased competition both on a capital and skill front. People will outwork and outsmart you and there’s always someone with more capital around the corner. Edge can be reestablished by trying shit early and deciding for yourself whether it has something about it. There were many different times last cycle that you could have picked up assets before the masses just by trying the protocol and seeing for yourself. Never leave it down to someone else to tell you. They can’t and won’t do it for you. It has happened recently with Solana. The masses tell you one thing when in reality it is the other. This results in the majority of the market being offside on something that clearly has a lot going for it. Stay curious and try shit. Don’t Chase Yield - If you are new to this market, DO NOT try and chase yield. You do not need to earn 20% on a position less than $200,000 (minimum). There are going to be plenty of times when you are drawn in by a very tasty yield on stable assets. There are also going to be plenty of times when you are drawn in by ridiculous APRs. You’re probably going to provide liquidity on a DEX and get rekt there too. The long and short of it is this. You do not need to concern yourself with earning yield when you don’t have a worthwhile portfolio size. Why earn 20% on stable(ish) assets when you could have liquid capital and earn much more than that, oftentimes in one day (if you choose correctly)? The additional complexity, counterparty risk and smart contract risk are categorically not worth it at this stage. If you play the farm and dump game with new ponzis that come online, please do not even entertain for one second that you should purchase the token that everyone is farming. There are bigger fish with more capital and experience that know how to play these games to a tee. You will be bait. I’d even go as far as saying if this is your first or second time around just buy tokens and don’t do anything else with them (other than sell of course). Maybe there are a few exceptions: Holding an LST like stETH, rETH, swETH or pxETH over ETH if you have a long-term view (again, not really for everyone). Staking a token to match inflation i.e. SOL (in this case use the most lindy SOL LST stSOL or mSOL). If TIME makes a comeback and we go full ponzi season and run it back turbo Don’t chase yield, it doesn’t make sense until you make it. Let Others Drink the Kool-Aid - I was definitely caught sipping from the communal ponzi Kool-Aid fountain a few times last cycle. It’s quite funny because you know deep down that there is something cult-like about certain founders, communities and tokens but at the time everyone is printing money so nobody cares. It always ends up in tears, literally every time. That being said, when you see a ponzi cult that has a founder that people would jump off a bridge for, just buy it. These folks never tend to realise they’ve been dumped or that they in fact were in a cult until it’s too late. The beauty of this (for you; an awakened market participant) is that people tend to wrap their whole online personality up in, said cult and when you are selling they are writing 40 Tweet threads about why the recent fud is unjustified. Let them be the exit liquidity they desire to be. TLDR; Scams pump the hardest, Let others drink the Kool-Aid. Position Sizing - I was too small on the way up and too large on the way down at times. This ain’t good. Larger more concentrated bets on less volatile yet sure-fire wins whilst rotating proportions into higher-beta assets to make more of the underlying position is my typical play. Be wary of liquidity, particularly for on-chain assets. You may get away with poorly timed entries in a bull market but if liquidity thins out you get screwed entering a position and also screwed exiting a position. If they have a buy-and-sell tax which is more popular now, then you get screwed again. I don’t really have much more to say on this one other than pick your poison (which I already have) and don’t fuck up the remainder of your portfolio oversizing into lower conviction plays, undoing the great entry on the large position. If you can’t outperform BTC, ETH and maybe even SOL this cycle. Just buy those and forget about it until McDonald’s puts the minimum wage up to $50 an hour because all their workers got paper rich and left, again. I can’t reiterate the above enough, if you aren’t serious about this and you don’t have the time don’t bother. Just keep it simple. Shitcoins are Generally Good - First, we should define a shitcoin. In my opinion, anything that is purely created for speculation. The irony is that 99.99% of the market are shitcoins but some projects are more honest about it than others. You are gonna lose a fuck tonne of money playing the shitcoin markets. You also stand the chance of making large amounts of capital very quickly, which if you are smart, you can then play the games mentioned above. I can’t stress the fact that you can go completely flat-ass broke trading shitcoins not knowing what you are doing. These trenches are well-trodden by professionals who have more capital, more experience and more information than you. They haven’t stopped all bear market, they are fucking born ready for the next PEPE or SHIB. What is your edge? The chances of you buying a shitcoin out of pure luck that goes on to make you serious money is slim to fuck-all. There are thousands of complete rugs launched Every. Single. Day. Learn the trade if you must, sniff out the good accounts to follow and get ready to have sleepless nights and to start spamming the group family message with /wen_marketing, because this shit will take over your life. If this isn’t for you stick to the point above BTC, ETH and SOL. If you are a born fucking nugget degenerate then see “Position Sizing”. If you don’t get it, buy it - I am becoming a lot better at this next point but still struggle. A lot of the time because I struggle to think like an absolute fucking moron. But, you must be the idiot. Eat, sleep and think like an idiot, if you are to catch the almighty pump led by redacted coins. I know I would have missed the Stepn seed round. Move to earn, like what?! GTFO. I knew better, I was investing in the future of financial technologies. All the while it went 1000x and I had 0 position. Come to think of it move to earn was such an easy sell for the rest of the world outside of the echo chamber of CT. I just didn’t get it at the time and I paid the price. Never again. If you have a visceral reaction to something good or bad, investigate it more, there is probably something there. After all we are emotional beings and charts are just human emotions expressed in candle sticks… I think RT taught me that one. Write, write, write - This is simple. Writing is the fastest way to growthhack your understanding of anything. You have to check your own understanding of things before you publish them or you look like a tit. Just write and do it even if you aren’t going to publish, it helps clear your mind and structure your thoughts. Stay Healthy - I got fat as fuck during the bull market. More money, more time spent sitting at the desk. DO NOT DO IT. You need to train as you would for anything. Staying fit and healthy is a way to perform better. You Can’t Own Everything - There will be unlimited shiny objects during a bull market. You can own them all but you will not perform well. Do your research, get the best entry you can get and let the thesis play out. If you are wrong, you will know a lot sooner in a bull market. Over-diversification is terrible if you are looking to grow the portfolio quickly and well. You can’t physically manage all those positions as much as you would like to think so. There is also no way you know all the bull and bear cases for each token you hold too. If you do, then come work for us at blocmates because that is impressive. The crypto markets are so reflexive that it makes no sense to be over-allocated across too many assets. Winners can often move alone but the full market pulls back together. Get conviction and stop being a little bitch. Break your bags - This stems from the point above. You best know the bear argument for your position because if it begins to come true then you need to exit and move on. If there is no bear argument for your position then congrats you have joined a cult. Supply Dynamics are Everything - Tokenization is such a difficult dynamic to wrap your head around if you are just starting out. But, know this... You best be aware of large token unlocks, who is getting unlocked, the inflation schedule for the tokens you hold and what the supply of your token will be 12 months from now. If you do not know this, then you should not own a token. If you think you can simply beat the market because some 1920’s data said that HODL outperforms, then you are my exit liquidity, thank you. Token supply increases in crypto are absolutely brutal. Large unlocks and cliffs can increase a token supply by 2x overnight. Many tokens from the last cycle will not reach their previous ATH because of the drastic increase in supply. They might hit their market cap ATH but the price could still be lightyears away. Choose wisely. The flip side of this is that a lot of OG tokens from the early DeFi summer days are nearing complete unlocks so no additional supply is left to come onto the market. This is as close to fair pricing as you are going to get. I am not revealing what these are you will have to subscribe to The Meal Deal once it goes live. “Just One More 2x” - If you are in the fortunate position where you say to yourself “Just one more 2x” or if you begin to look at your dream home, just sell everything right that moment. A portfolio ATH is always a good time to take some of the more fruity positions off. If you are thinking it, others are too, you are not special and you are not a market outlier. Do yourself a favour, and secure the bag. Don’t Paperhand Bear Market Entries - If you have just been through the past two years and hated every minute of it but you stuck to the plan and bought as much of a specific asset as possible, the worst thing you can do is sell it early trying to chase other people’s winners. Put it in cold storage out of the way so you aren’t tempted to even “take a bit off and buy back lower”. If you are talented then yeah go for it, most aren’t. Other tips not worth writing a lot about: - Use a DEX and birdge aggregator to make sure you are getting the best price - Always use a Ledger - Check DeFi llama directory to find the correct URL of a site. If that faults go to their Twitter and verify. - Get authenticator 2FA.

Ecclesiastes 5:15 As a man came from his mother's womb, so he will depart again, naked as he arrived. He takes nothing for his labour to carry in his hands. The Transient of Life Ecclesiastes 1:17 So I set my mind to know wisdom and madness and folly; I learned that this, too, is a pursuit of the wind. We brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it. That is the futility of all of our hard work at the end of our lives. Nothing matters. Regardless of riches, wealth, fame, power, achievements, status or credentials, they are meaningless at the end of our journey. It is like the currency of a country becomes worthless when we leave for another country. Only if we have a way of converting it to the currency of that country will it retain its value. If not, we will have to leave everything behind as if we never had it. That is futility or, to be specific, the meaninglessness of our lives, like robbing ourselves of our well-deserved medals. As Solomon expressed it: It is futile and a pursuit of the wind. All our efforts are a waste of time, transient, lacking eternal value. In other words, wasting our time. What if we are good? Soon, there is someone better to replace us. So, what if our invention is excellent? Very soon, it will be obsolete. Even if we leave behind a legacy, it will soon be superseded. Our dreams, visions, aspirations and even our lives are like sandcastles, soon will be washed away by the waves, leaving no trace behind. That is the reality we have to deal with; we are as good as we were last. The Permanence of Our Existence Genesis 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being. Our life on Earth is temporal, and we will one day leave for another place of permanence. Even though we leave Earth through the process called death, we, literally, will never die even when we stop breathing. Once born, all possess the breath of life, which GOD breathed into the first man, Adam. This breath, as eternal as God, cannot be destroyed and will keep us living forever, for better or for worse. Regardless of our religion or spiritual orientation, we will live on either in life in heaven with GOD or in our second death in hell away from GOD. Even when we breathe our last breath and are reduced to dust back to the Earth, we will not be reduced to nothing or vanish into thin air. Death will not bring the end of us, and it will not end the repercussions of our actions, otherwise known as karma. Therefore, bygones will not be bygones when we are gone. Nothing ends except our trials in life when we are put to sleep for the Day of Judgment. When the Book of Life is opened on that day, we will face judgment and give an account of our deeds and for every careless word we have spoken. We will continue living after judgment according to the judgment. And if anyone whose name is not written in the Book of Life, he will be thrown into the lake of fire where there is no end. Those whose names are written in the Book of Life will be with GOD in the new heaven and new earth. Either in hell or in heaven, life continues after death. Planning Forward John 14:2 In My Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? Once created, we cannot be destroyed; we can only be converted from one form to another. As water changes from a liquid to a gaseous state, we change from physical to spiritual form. We are the same as Jesus Christ, unchanged through death. The unfortunate truth is that only we can undergo spiritual metamorphosis, not our material possessions. They are unable to morph with us. In a nutshell, once we die, it is eternal separation from our material possessions. Dying is like our emergency evacuation from an aircraft; we cannot take our luggage along. What we can bring is what we have on. With this in mind, we can rethink our strategy and plan forward with eternality in mind. Planning with the End in Mind Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope. Only things can happen with a plan. Even GOD has plans for us, plans to prosper us and not to harm us, to give you a future and hope. When we fail to plan, we plan to fail. If we do not have eternity in mind, we will fail to plan for it and take what is necessary to achieve it. If that happens, that could be our regrettable oversight or foolishness. What is unseen or unknown might not be non-existent. What we cannot hear does not mean there is no sound. It might be an inaudible sound that our ears cannot detect. Many things exist beyond our imagination, like holding a phone and hearing someone who is far away speak. If we discard reality beyond our imagination, then we might be too arrogant to think we know everything. If GOD says so, it is better to take it seriously. Unless we think we know better than GOD. Rethinking of our Eternality John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Therefore, we should not be myopic in thinking that we only last a lifetime, which, in fact, we are made for eternity. Comparing a lifetime to an eternity is like a drop in the ocean. If we have plans only for this lifetime and neglect our eternality, we will have much to regret. We can mess about our lifetimes, but never our eternality because eternity is too long to live if it encompasses pain, suffering, and regret. To prevent these, we must plan early in our lifetime for it. It is like getting a good education when you are young, so your future is secure. As much as we must sacrifice when young for our future, so we must sacrifice our lifetime for eternality. To do well in our studies, we cannot do as we wish, but we must learn well. Likewise, to prepare for eternality, we also cannot do as we want but must do well in what is required of us. Failing to do so, we will miss out on our excellent future in eternality. Rethinking our Priority Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. Jesus said, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" In other words, Jesus is saying that things of temporal value cannot be compared to things of eternal value. Once we lose the things of eternal value, nothing of temporal value can replace it. Therefore, we cannot have misappropriated priority by placing temporal things over eternal, even if they might not be relevant now. We put the gain of the whole world as more value than our souls. If we lose our souls to the things of the world, Jesus said that there is nothing we can use to exchange it back. It is like losing a person to the evil of drug abuse. If the drug has taken control of the man, there is nothing much one can do to get him back. Rethinking of our Alliances James 4:4 You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God. We need to survive in the world, but that does not mean we need to compromise by sacrificing our souls. In other words, we need not exchange our gold coin or a copper coin of the world. The evil one wants our gold coin, and we will be foolish if we ever exchange with him. Therefore, we should never sell our souls by betraying GOD, our characters and principles for the ill-gotten gains of the world. Getting them will bring no benefits to us except to increase the ills in our lives. However, if we do not walk the way and indulge in the practices as the world does, those in the world will hate us. Therefore, Jesus said, "Everyone will hate you because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved." If we want to prove ourselves worthy of God's love and the right to eternal life, we need to make a difference, stand apart from the world and never give away our gold coin. Rethinking of our Treasures Matthew 6:19-21 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. What is of value to GOD might not be to the world. Natural man does not define treasures as GOD does and does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolish to him, and he cannot understand them because they are intangible, unquantifiable, unseen and unproven. In other words, nonsense. Therefore, natural man only stores treasure on earth and not in heaven because he values things differently from GOD. Since the time frame of man is temporal, his mind frame is on temporal things. If he wants to prepare for life after death by storing up treasures of eternal value in heaven, he must change his mind frame by changing his heart towards the things of temporal value. He must treat things of temporal value as worthless and things of eternal value as treasures and pursue them with all of that he has. To him, the kingdom of heaven must be like a treasure hidden in a field. Once he finds it, he hides it again and, in his joy, goes and sells all he has and buys that field. The kingdom of heaven is also like a merchant in search of fine pearls. When he finds one very precious pearl, he goes away and sells all he has and buys it. Rethinking our Investment Portfolio 1 Corinthians 3:19-20 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness." And again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." As the saying goes, 'No pain, no gain.' If we cannot give up our treasures on earth, we cannot build our treasures in heaven. If we cannot give up the wisdom of the world for the foolishness of GOD, we cannot gain the wisdom of GOD, which is the foolishness of the world. If we want to build our treasures in heaven, do things that matter, and give us a future, we must change our perspectives. We must value the foolishness of the world that produces eternal value. When we invest our resources in time, talent, and money, we must calculate the ROI (return on investment) of things, not only on earth but also in heaven. If it does not have eternal value, then our returns are short-term gains but long-term losses, which is not ideal. It is foolish for a man to start a business that materially enriches him but spiritually bankrupts him. Therefore, whatever we do, we must understand not only the short-term implications but the long-term effects. If not, we are only wise for a moment but foolish forever. Conclusion: Where your treasure is where your heart will be 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?" Many are afraid of the sting of death because they are not prepared for eternality. They are like students going for an examination without having enough preparation. Unless we have been faithfully building treasures in heaven, we will not fear. If we have not, then we have much to worry about when the time is nearing. And those with immense treasures on earth will be reluctant to leave as they are unwilling to part with their wealth. However, this appointment with death is imminent, and no one is exempted. Only when we are secure that our treasures are in heaven will we be willing to leave everything behind for heaven because we have emptied our lives on earth and have nothing to hold us back. Prayer: God, please open my eyes to see the things of eternal value so that I will diligently work towards them. Let me not be fooled by the deception of the world and waste my life on things that do not value-add to my eternal life and rob me of it instead. I brought nothing into the world, and I would not carry anything out of it. Let me be generous in sharing Your goodness so that my treasures will be great in heaven. Amen.

BREAKING: Taiwan just signed a deal to invest in the $44 billion Alaska natural gas pipeline and has committed to purchasing their LNG from Alaska. This will bring billions into the U.S. economy instantly. The Taiwanese President said, "Alaska is the source of high-quality natural gas, and its relatively short distance from Taiwan facilitates transportation. We are very interested in buying Alaskan natural gas because it can meet our needs and ensure our energy security." Taiwan's leaders clearly know what they are doing. Helping make America rich gives Trump a real reason to defend them if China tries to invade.

On Trade, I have decided, for purposes of Fairness, that I will charge a RECIPROCAL Tariff meaning, whatever Countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them - No more, no less! For purposes of this United States Policy, we will consider Countries that use the VAT System, which is far more punitive than a Tariff, to be similar to that of a Tariff. Sending merchandise, product, or anything by any other name through another Country, for purposes of unfairly harming America, will not be accepted. In addition, we will make provision for subsidies provided by Countries in order to take Economic advantage of the United States. Likewise, provisions will be made for Nonmonetary Tariffs and Trade Barriers that some Countries charge in order to keep our product out of their domain or, if they do not even let U.S. businesses operate. We are able to accurately determine the cost of these Nonmonetary Trade Barriers. It is fair to all, no other Country can complain and, in some cases, if a Country feels that the United States would be getting too high a Tariff, all they have to do is reduce or terminate their Tariff against us. There are no Tariffs if you manufacture or build your product in the United States. For many years, the U.S. has been treated unfairly by other Countries, both friend and foe. This System will immediately bring Fairness and Prosperity back into the previously complex and unfair System of Trade. America has helped many Countries throughout the years, at great financial cost. It is now time that these Countries remember this, and treat us fairly – A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR AMERICAN WORKERS. I have instructed my Secretary of State, Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of the Treasury, and United States Trade Representative (USTR) to do all work necessary to deliver RECIPROCITY to our System of Trade!

The purpose of science in GOD's plan John 1:3 Through Him, all things were made, and without Him, nothing was made that has been made. Science removes our need for GOD. Science dispels faith and the need for GOD. Many of the life's answers can be answered by science. Hence, no one needs to run into a church for healing if they can walk into a hospital. No farmer needs to pray for an abundant harvest when they have agricultural science behind them, ensuring many of their problems can be resolved through science. Therefore, no one needs to go to GOD in prayer for every trivial matter. In other words, GOD outsources man's reliance on Him to Science. Hence, a man does not need to waste his time early in the morning praying for his sheep, goats, cows, donkeys, and a long list of mundane things but to pray for things of eternal value. GOD, through science, answered man's prayers before he even asked. Via the Internet, any problem can be answered immediately. All we have to do is ask the most knowledgeable person, AI ( artificial intelligence), and the next thing we know, voila, we get a perfect answer. Science allows us to solve things ourselves before we approach GOD. Even if we ask God, we might not get a fast answer. Therefore, science, in terms of technology, plays a more significant role in a person's life than GOD. Supremacy of GOD over science Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out. If science dispels faith and the need for God, then what is God's purpose for science? GOD is a jealous GOD, and He will not allow anything to stand higher than Him, not Satan and not even science, replacing His importance. He is the creator of all things, and He will not create anything that diminishes His supremacy. He planned the beginning from the end and knew the cause and effect of everything so nothing would catch Him by surprise. When GOD said, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts", He means He is supreme beyond our understanding. He is much better and knows much more than we do. Science is merely a search engine that searches for what GOD has concealed. Since science discovers the mysteries of the universe that GOD has, it implies science is not above GOD and will not supersede Him because the master behind science is GOD. Science's failure to find GOD. Mark 4:12 They may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding. Science often messes up our heads regarding GOD. What science cannot establish does not mean it does not exist. Science establishes itself through facts and figures, while GOD is through faith. If we use facts and figures to measure GOD, we will not be able to find Him because we are using the wrong parameters. It is similar to using a thermometer to measure the volume of water. We cannot use physical means to measure spiritual matters because GOD can only be spiritually discerned. Since science has yet to develop a spiritual detector, it fails to find GOD. To see Him, we need faith to connect with Him and know His existence. Without faith, we are spiritually dead and can never find Him. Science is like an atheist, lacking in spiritual dimension; it is spiritually dead and, metaphorically speaking, has no wifi connection to GOD. They are 'ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding.' Only spiritually alive people have spiritual detectors to see and hear from GOD. Hence, science, figuratively speaking, cannot hear and see from GOD. GOD, beyond science but within the Bible John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. What science cannot do, but we can. By reading the Bible, we can discover GOD. He presents Himself in the complexity of His Word, the Bible through events, stories and parables. To find Him, we cannot read the Bible at face value as if reading a novel. The Word needs to come alive by the anointing of the Holy Spirit to make GOD alive. Then, we can piece Him together. If not, we will be like the six blind men from ancient Indian folklore of the blind men and an elephant. Each blind man who had never seen an elephant tried to imagine what the elephant was like by touching it. Each blind man feels a different part of the animal's body, but only one part. They then describe the animal based on the portion they touched. The first man who touched his leg said the elephant was like a pillar. The second man who touched his tail said the elephant was like a rope. The third man who touched his trunk said the elephant was like a tree branch. The fourth man who touched the ear said the elephant was like a fan. The fifth man who touched the belly said the elephant was a wall. The sixth man who touched the tusk said the elephant was like a solid pipe. The importance of knowing the whole picture The descriptions of the same elephant differ from one another, each insisting he was right. All of them were right in parts, but none of them got the whole picture right. Therefore, none of them know what an elephant is. It was no fault of their own as they were blind. We are not blind, but GOD is like the elephant, too big to see within our range of vision. Our eyes limit us. Therefore, our minds cannot conceptualize Him. To know GOD with our restricted vision, we need to piece the fragments of GOD together with the borrowed eye of the Holy Spirit to see through the Bible, to see what we cannot. Like a puzzle, we need to put all the parts together to understand the totality of GOD. If not, it is as good as holding a piece of the puzzle, thinking we know GOD through it. Thus, if anyone were to tell us something different from what we know, do not label them as false prophets. Instead, be humble and pray for GOD to open our eyes and expand our minds so that we can see beyond what we can. Science does not point us to GOD. Romans 8:13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Spiritual blindness robs us of knowing GOD. Science has no spiritual radar. It is spiritually blind and cannot see GOD. Therefore, science cannot discover GOD and point us to Him. What science cannot do, the Bible can. The reason for our spiritual blindness is our carnal nature, the flesh. If we cannot master our evil nature, we are confirmed blind. Our evil nature turns us away from GOD, so we cannot see Him. If we are not totally blind, we can be partially blind because of our spiritual limitation, which comes from the lack of anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is like the elephant in ancient Indian folklore, and we are like the blind men. When we read through the Bible, we touch the different facets of God. However, we are partially blind towards Him because we are stiff-headed in our opinion, not accepting all that is written in the Bible, wearing blinkers, and, like the blind men, refusing to look from other angles. Mental blind spot syndrome In other words, we have mental blind spots that lead to spiritual blindness, which science cannot help. The reason is many perceive God from their favourite perspective by accepting what suits our sinful nature, creating a lopsided view of GOD. Preachers like to speak on messages of forgiveness of sin but not on stopping sin, and blessings but not curses because that is what many want to hear. We become like small children; they pick what they like to eat, and we choose what we want to hear, which is unhealthy. Therefore, like the six blind men's ideas of an elephant, we create our idea of GOD. He becomes an alien, not who He is, but what we formulate Him to be. Scientific discoveries are from GOD. God said, "Now, if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him" He understood that many mysteries of things are beyond our understanding and scientific investigation. In other words, by default, we lack wisdom and understanding. However, when a solution is critically needed, those who seek Him, regardless of believers or unbelievers, will be satisfied. When we ask, He will answer. The advancement in science is that many who ask GOD tough questions get solid solutions. He will not find fault with anyone who asks, even if he is not with His. Therefore, it is GOD, through science, who created the miracles, not science, through the ingenuity of men. Hence, the solutions that science provides are nothing more than ideas from GOD. Everything revolves around GOD, including science. Science liberates us time to know GOD. Science improves life and liberates many of the inconveniences of living, providing solutions to many earthly problems. God wants us to be more like Mary and not like Martha, who was weighed down with the daily chores and worried over many things. GOD does not want us to be busy with unnecessary things, so we have more time for Him. He wants us to concentrate on one crucial thing: spending more time learning His Word and developing a closer relationship with Him. The purpose is for us to prepare for our eternality. Without enough spiritual knowledge, we cannot grasp the different aspects of God, making Him contradictory and lacking in consistency. If we want to know God, we need to seek Him with all of our hearts by understanding His Word. Only when we have spiritual understanding will we have the tools to decode the mysteries written in the Word and not be misguided by our ignorance. If not, we are like a computer lacking the required language to understand spiritual matters. Knowing the Bible is not knowing how to read all the words in it but understanding what is being said in between the lines. Science reduces our transactional relationship with GOD. When there is a problem, there is a need, and that is when a man needs GOD. If a man is happy and has what he wants, he is contented with life and has no problems. He does not need GOD. That is the reality: a man only seeks God when he is in need. Once his problems are over, he may forget about Him. This transactional relationship with God, akin to a marriage of convenience where the focus is on 'What can I get out of it?' is dangerous. When the need is over, the relationship is over. A relationship based on needs is a one-sided relationship with much to be needed. The person in need puts himself in a disadvantaged position in the relationship where he is always not measuring up. If we worship GOD, it is out of motive and not out of love. GOD's love for us is pure, without motives. Therefore, He does not want to dangle carrots in front of us for love. He does not want us to be like a bird in a cage but a bird free to soar the sky. If we love Him, we will fly back to Him voluntarily, without compulsion but of love. Science reduces the problems of life and our reliance on GOD. That releases us from a relationship out of need but out of choice. If anyone were to choose Him, it would not be out of benefits but because they want to. Science becomes a good test of a man's heart towards God. Science frees man from many mundane problems and frees us from the need for GOD. So if the Son sets us free, we will be free indeed, even of Him. Through science, GOD created a better and more exciting world for us that is independent of Him. The question remains: Do we still want Him who is against our fallen nature or move on to one who is accommodating to our fallen selves? Time and advancements in science have revealed the answer. In Europe, many churches of the early Christians are left empty and are converted for drinking, dancing, and other purposes other than a place of worship. There are more people in the pub than in a church, showing that Christianity has lost its favour and popularity. In other words, men have left their faith because they have found something better. Once GOD has outlived His usefulness, they dump Him. Conclusion: The limitation of science Science can have its benefits, but it is not above God. No matter how excellent science is, it can only clean the outside of the cup and not the inside. What is of eternal value is to clean the cup on the inside, which science cannot do. No matter what science can do for us to liberate us from the need for God, we should not let go of Him. Our lives are more than what we have on earth. Improvement, progress and advancement are only temporary. What we have with GOD is eternal. Prayer: God, thank you for the comfort and convenience that science and technology bring. Continue to open my eyes and expand my mind to know You better. Let Your Word wash the inside of my cup, and let me not be contented with science that cleans on the outside. Science is only Your servant. Let me not be contented with Your servant and miss out on You, the Master

最近，Mubarakah的行情像一潭平静的湖水，不跌不涨，仿佛在考验每一个持有者的耐心。也许你会感到一丝迷茫，甚至怀疑未来的方向。 @cz_binance @heyibinance @BNBCHAIN @binancezh 但我想告诉你，这种平静并不是停滞，而是蓄势待发的沉默。信心，从来不是建立在短期的波动上，而是源于我们对未来的坚持和建设。 行情背后的意义 不跌不涨的行情，其实是一种难得的稳定。在加密货币市场这个波涛汹涌的海洋里，能够保持平稳本身就是一种力量。它意味着Mubarakah没有被短期的投机情绪左右，而是拥有扎实的基础。这种稳定，是我们继续建设的最好起点。想想看，一个项目如果总是大起大落，或许能带来一时的兴奋，但长久的信任却需要这样的平静来沉淀。 信心的力量 Mubarakah这个名字，源自阿拉伯语中的“祝福”。它提醒我们，真正的价值不是一夜暴涨，而是持续的积累和成长。历史上，无数伟大的事业都曾经历过平静甚至低谷，但正是那些坚持信心的人，迎来了最终的曙光。信心不是盲目的乐观，而是相信每一步努力都在为未来铺路。就像一颗种子埋在土里，看似毫无动静，但只要有水和阳光，它终会破土而出。 建设的行动 现在正是我们行动的时刻。行情平稳时，我们可以做些什么？是加强社区的凝聚力，还是探索Mubarakah更多的可能性？每一次讨论、每一个创意，都是在为它的未来添砖加瓦。建设从来不是等待机会，而是创造机会。或许我们可以分享自己的想法，或许我们可以一起构思新的应用场景——这些小小的努力，汇聚起来，就是Mubarakah崛起的基石。 展望与号召 Mubarakah的未来，不是靠天降好运，而是靠我们每一个人的双手去塑造。只要我们保持信心，坚持建设，这片平静的湖水终将掀起属于我们的波澜。让我们一起努力，让“祝福”不仅是一个名字，更是我们共同的成就！坚持下去，未来可期！ Recently, Mubarakah's market performance has been like a calm lake, neither rising nor falling, as if testing the patience of every holder. Perhaps you feel a hint of confusion or even doubt about the future direction. But I want to tell you that this calmness is not stagnation; it is a silence poised for action. Confidence has never been built on short-term fluctuations but stems from our persistence and commitment to the future. The Meaning Behind the Market A market that neither rises nor falls is, in fact, a rare kind of stability. In the tumultuous ocean of the cryptocurrency market, maintaining steadiness is a strength in itself. It means Mubarakah isn’t swayed by short-term speculative emotions but rests on a solid foundation. This stability is the best starting point for us to continue building. Think about it: a project that constantly swings up and down might bring momentary excitement, but lasting trust requires this kind of calm to take root. The Power of Confidence The name Mubarakah comes from the Arabic word for “blessing.” It reminds us that true value doesn’t lie in overnight surges but in steady accumulation and growth. Throughout history, countless great endeavors have experienced periods of calm or even lows, yet it was those who held onto confidence who ultimately welcomed the dawn. Confidence isn’t blind optimism; it’s the belief that every step of effort paves the way for the future. Like a seed buried in the soil, it may seem motionless, but with water and sunlight, it will eventually break through. The Action of Building Now is the time for us to act. When the market is steady, what can we do? Should we strengthen the community’s cohesion or explore more possibilities for Mubarakah? Every discussion, every idea, adds a brick to its future. Building has never been about waiting for opportunities—it’s about creating them. Perhaps we can share our thoughts, or perhaps we can brainstorm new use cases together. These small efforts, when combined, become the cornerstone of Mubarakah’s rise. Outlook and Call to Action Mubarakah’s future doesn’t depend on luck falling from the sky; it relies on the hands of each and every one of us to shape it. As long as we maintain confidence and persist in building, this calm lake will eventually stir with waves of our own making. Let’s work together to ensure that “blessing” is not just a name but a shared achievement! Keep going—the future is within reach!

You are not what you think but the spirit that controls you Ephesians 6:12 'For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.' To a layperson, this statement might sound too bizarre and far-fetched, as if we were walking through the Star Wars movie studio pretending to be Jedi to battle against Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith. It is like we are in a world of make-believe where the spiritual forces of darkness in the heavenly realms are warring against us. In other words, we are attacked by alien invisible forces that are not flesh and blood like us. True, our real enemy is something we cannot see. If we are struggling with what we can see, then we are fighting a fake enemy. Most of us might be wondering, since we cannot astral travel, where our consciousness leaves our bodies, and how to fight a spiritual battle against the dark forces, the equivalent of Darth Sidious. The only evil forces we experience are from the people around us, the ones residing in our homes, offices, churches, or circles of friends, holding invisible knives and daggers, stabbing us with unkind words, deeds and intentions, and leaving us broken, wounded and in pain. With that experience, we can proceed to the next level of understanding. Our struggles are with no one else but with ourselves and the people around us who are no aliens to us, the flesh and blood with whom we are in daily contact. The thoughts and deeds are not of GOD's. The unloving, ungiving and non-sacrificing nature that takes, steals, kills and destroys. It is our source of unhappiness, and because of it, we suffer. Even though this is an indisputable fact, according to Paul, the people are not the culprits. Just as Jesus rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." Peter is not the culprit in obstructing Jesus from fulfilling his Father's will to bring salvation for all by dying on the cross. The culprit is the force behind Peter's thoughts. Peter was utterly unaware that, at that moment, he became Satan's tool to become Jesus's stumbling block. How could it be possible for Satan to use Peter as his mouthpiece? Peter spoke to Jesus as the Serpent spoke to Eve, being Satan's voice. What happened at that moment for Peter to utter words of concern and care that were, in fact, words against the will of GOD that Jesus had to rebuke him as Satan? For that, we have to look at Peter's heart. We must understand that Peter had every intention for Jesus to reign as the king of the Jews rather than to suffer and be killed at the hands of the elders, chief priests and scribes. When Jesus called Peter to be his disciple, He promised Peter that he would become a fisher of men instead of a fisherman. If Jesus were to die, the implication is Peter would have to return to being a fisherman and not become a fisher of men. That happened precisely after Jesus's death. His three-year effort of following Jesus around would have been a waste of time. In other words, Peter had self-interest or a personal agenda at heart when he said those words. Even if he did not want Jesus to die because of his love, that is considered a personal agenda. His self-centred agenda becomes an open door to evil influences and the devil's foothold. Is it biblical for Satan to have a foothold in us? Yes, it is biblical because of our fallen nature, and Satan has a legal right over us. Therefore, we are programmed to think evil and do evil. Hence, we do not need to be disciplined to do evil but to do good. According to biblical records, Satan did not come with a whip to get us to do evil. Instead, GOD has to whip us to do good. With that, we can see that we are born with Satan's DNA within us. To cut a long story short, to save us, GOD ended up whipping Himself for our sins. Therefore, in the New Testament, GOD no longer holds the whip but His love to lead us to repentance. To put it another way, GOD whips Himself for every sin we commit. Thus, those who believe in His love shall not perish but have eternal life. As long as we are self-centred and unrepentant, the nature of our flesh, Satan, has a foothold in us through our fallen nature. Satan can speak through us as if it is our intention. When Jesus rebuked Peter, He was rebuking Satan, the mastermind behind Peter. From this encounter, we can conclude that we are nothing more than vessels. We are what fills us. If we are not convinced, we can look at another incident that happened to Peter. When Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood but by My Father in heaven. This time, Jesus did not rebuke Peter. Instead, He complimented him for saying the right thing. Jesus used the words flesh and blood as Paul did, indicating that the information is not of human origin. It is not a rumour that Peter heard but a spiritual revelation that Peter perceived from no one else but the Father in heaven. In other words, it is a spiritual enlightenment when a person is filled with the Spirit to understand spiritual matters. This encounter is not limited to Peter, but it happened to many people in the Bible, like Bazalel, Elizabeth, Stephen, Barnabas, David, Ezekiel, and the list goes on. From Peter's two spiritual encounters, one with Satan and the other with the Father, we can deduce that a man is only a vessel, and he is what he is filled with, either good or evil. What fills him will be the voice he hears, good or evil. And what fills him will depend on what is in his heart. When he lives for himself, he has eyes only for himself, and is self-centred, then he is filled with the fallen nature. If he lives for GOD and others, has eyes for people in need, and is GOD and people-oriented, then his heart is filled with the Spirit of GOD. Hence, whoever he listens to will be his master. Hence, whatever we think is not our own. It is from whom we allow to fill our hearts. Unless we can change a person's heart, we cannot change his mind. His mind is controlled by what fills his heart. Paul understood, beyond what meets the eye, the relationship between our hearts and the spirits that control our minds. Therefore, he said, 'For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.' It is not without reason that GOD always talks about the heart more than the mind of a man. He referred to David as a man after His heart and not a man after His mind. Once our heart is right with GOD, then our mind will think within the framework of GOD. Another excellent example of understanding how the heart affects the outcome of the mind is in the story of Nebuchadnezzar. GOD made Nebuchadnezzar great for His purpose, and his greatness was like a tree large and strong, whose top reached the sky and was visible to all the earth, whose foliage was beautiful and whose fruit was abundant, providing food for all, under which the beasts of the field lived, and in whose branches the birds of the air nested. One day, he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, and he exclaimed, "Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built by the might of my power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?" When his heart was filled with pride in himself and his greatness, GOD struck him down with madness. He was driven away from mankind. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird. Only after seven years did GOD restore his sanity, and He praised and exalted and glorified GOD as the king of heaven, for all His works are true and all His ways are just. The moral of Nebuchadnezzar's story is that the heart determines our future more than our efforts. When Nebuchadnezzar's heart was filled with himself, God flipped his mind like a pancake. One moment, he was sane, and another moment, he became insane. Only when God felt that Nebuchadnezzar was humbled enough did God flip his mind back. In other words, our mind is nothing more than a marionette where the puppeteer controls every movement of the puppet with strings. The puppet is not free to do as it wishes, but according to the puppeteer that controls it. Likewise, our mind is not free to think as we want to but according to whom fills our hearts. In computer terminology, a man is only the hardware, and the software that helps him to think and operate comes from the spiritual realm. In the book of Proverbs, Solomon wrote, 'Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life.' Why the heart and not our mind? Solomon understood that when he gave his heart to GOD, GOD gave him a perfect mind filled with wisdom and understanding. Once his heart turned away from GOD, his wisdom and understanding were lacking to preserve his kingdom. Only GOD holds the key to the springs of life, and the secret passage to them is the heart. The mind can think as many dreams as it wants, but it will only be wishful thinking. Therefore, if we want to have the blessings of heaven, we must have a heart for GOD. It is more than going through the ritual of going to church, giving tithes and offerings or doing charities. It is to put GOD as the centre of our life and let our world revolve around Him. Filling our hearts with the love for GOD and not with the desires of our fallen nature is the key to success in life. It is only through the guidance of GOD that we find life. If we follow the advice of our fallen nature, we will find death because life is only in the hands of GOD. Therefore, if we are not of GOD, whatever we do is a waste of time because there can only be one outcome - death. In other words, we will make lousy decisions despite our best efforts because we are ill-advised. Anything not under GOD's counsel is not under His will. Epistle 1 John writes, 'And this is the confidence that we have before Him: If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.' To understand this statement from the opposite perspective, if we do not ask according to His will, He does not hear us. Therefore, those who go to church to pray for nothing else but themselves are praying in vain because they are not asking according to GOD's will. They are nothing more than mouthpieces of Satan, praying for the desires of their fallen nature, which are evil. GOD will not listen to them. GOD wants us to worship Him in Spirit and truth, meaning the Holy Spirit must anoint our thoughts, teaching us to pray. Our prayers will align with GOD's will, and He will be pleased to listen to us. Whatever we do, we will not contravene the first and second greatest commandments, which are to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind and to love your neighbour as yourself. Only if we live a self-centred life will we contradict a god-centred life. When we live for GOD and others, we have to sacrifice our self-centred lives for them because we cannot put our interests and GOD first at the same time. There can be only one first. We must choose one over the other. Therefore, we must rightly select what should be within us: the Spirit of Life or the spirit of death. Prayer: Thank you for enlightening my mind with Your words. Continue to teach me Your truth so that I may walk in it and find life. Protect me from the deceits of my enemies, who come as wolves in sheep's clothing. Continue to renew my mind with the truth so that I can be transformed into your image. Amen.

Know Thy Enemy 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Sun Tzu, a Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher, once said, "Know thy enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated." Knowing ourselves alone is like a blind archer shooting arrows at a target, hoping one will hit the bullseye. Knowing ourselves and our enemy is like an archer with eagle-eye vision, and with every arrow he shoots, he will surely hit the bullseye. Therefore, we cannot walk naively through life, blind to our enemy, knowing nothing of him except his name. Ignorance is not bliss. In the book of Hosea, GOD said, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children."  Who is our enemy? Anything or anyone that turns us away from GOD is our enemy. Therefore, as children of GOD, we cannot be as innocent as doves but also as wise as serpents to know who our enemy is. We cannot be like Eve, knowing good and not evil or knowing light and not darkness. She is not at fault because she has not taken the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil during that time to know the existence of evil. She only knew a friend but not a foe, good but not evil, that could turn her fate for the worse. Hence, she was as innocent as doves. We cannot be like that because within us is the knowledge of good and evil, so we must be more than innocent as doves but as wise as serpents to know the traps of evil. We cannot be living in a fool's paradise, thinking that GOD will save us from the hand of the devourer. He will not since He did not save Adam and Eve from the deceit of the Serpent that led them into suffering, pain and death. Why would he make an exception for us? To beware of our enemy, we should never let anyone sweet-talk us into believing anything that seems too good to be true—it probably is. GOD's actions speak louder than His Words. Unless those gifts are under goodwill, everything of GOD, protection, provision, blessings, or promises requires us to walk on the tightrope of obedience. Even though Eve is ignorant, naive, or impressionable, she could not have fallen into the Serpent's lie if she had walked tightly on the rope of obedience. God's protection and provision are only found in obedience, and anything out of obedience is out of His protection. Hence, once Adam and Eve disobeyed, they had to leave Eden away from GOD's protection and provision. GOD did not show them leniency even when they were first-time offenders deserving a second chance.  Once fallen, the second chance only came a few thousand years later in the form of Jesus Christ. Even if we are given a second chance, it does not exempt us from being disobedient to do as we wish. We still have to be obedient in the face of temptations. Even if Jesus's love covers all sins, it does not mean we can continue sinning. Anyone who continues to sin shows he is unrepentant. Forgiveness requires a repentance heart and demands us to turn over a new leaf. If there is no change and transformation, it will mean that there is no repentance. In the epistle of 1 John, John states, "No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has seen Him or known Him." That implies that knowing GOD will teach us to stop sinning, which is where forgiveness comes in. If we keep sinning, then we need more than forgiveness; we need tolerance. But GOD is willing only to forgive sin, not tolerate sin. Coming back to what is written in the book of Hosea, we are destroyed by a lack of knowledge because we have rejected knowledge. At face value, we are blockheaded to reject knowledge, but in reality, our fallen nature refuses to accept the things of GOD. It is written in the Epistle of Galatians, 'For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so you do not do what you want.' Therefore, no matter how hard we endeavour, as long as our flesh is alive, we will refuse to learn. It is not that we do not want to, but we cannot because the flesh, our gatekeeper, has a natural rejection of the law. The law of GOD goes in one ear and out the other. Metaphorically, we are like a filter that absorbs all evil influences and sieves out all good. Through the prophet Hosea, GOD reprimanded the Jews for being blockheaded, but it is not a Jewish problem but a universal one. Anyone who wants to become a child of GOD will face the issue of incompatibility of their fallen nature with GOD's. They are like oil and water, immiscible. Indirectly, GOD is saying through the prophet Hosea that whoever rejects the law is incompatible with Him and cannot be His children. Therefore, anyone holding on to his flesh becomes an enemy of GOD and cannot be his child. In today's context, many believe that once their sins are forgiven, it means that God has accepted them as who they are—fallen beings. Do not be deceived. If this is true, then many things cannot add up. If the blood of Jesus can wash away our sins and transform our fallen nature, then Jesus would not ask us to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. Jesus's blood can only wash away our sins but not transform our fallen nature. When Jesus said, "It is finished." And bowing His head, He yielded up His Spirit. It does not mean that, with His death, we are free from our fallen nature. Our enemy hopes we will believe that. Jesus meant He had finished his mission on earth. He conquered man's eternal death so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. If Jesus's death is enough to put to death our fallen nature, then it is redundant for Jesus to ask us to deny ourselves. That is to say, Jesus has done His part, figuratively, to bring us to the water. We must drink the water ourselves. If we want to belong to Christ Jesus, according to the Epistle of Galatians, we must crucify the flesh with its passions and desires. No one can do that for us except ourselves. We hold the last piece of the puzzle to salvation as we have the final say - to crucify or not to crucify our flesh. Now, standing between God and us is our common enemy, the fallen nature. With Christ's death on the cross for our sins, God no longer holds against us for the old debt, which is committed by our fallen nature. God is willing to let bygones be bygones. However, bygones will never be bygones if we keep sinning by listening to our fallen nature, keeping the beast alive. In the epistle of Romans, Paul states, 'For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.' This verse refutes the catchphrase of 'once saved, always saved.' No one is saved until they put to death the deeds of the body. That is to say, if there is no death of our fallen nature, we will not be saved. When we believe in GOD, He expects us to be transformed. A confused mind is the devil's playground. Therefore, we must be clear of the changes between the old and the new covenants. Jesus came to fulfil the old covenant by His death on the cross, bringing about the new covenant. If we are not clear about the change, then we will be like Eve, falling into our enemy's deceit. To understand this change, we must understand Paul's writing by understanding who he is. Jesus recruited Apostle Paul after He had resurrected, in a spiritual encounter, where Jesus appeared to Paul in an audible voice. Paul is unlike Jesus's twelve disciples, who among them were fishermen, tax collectors and peasants. Paul was a Pharisee, a student of Gamaliel, a man held in great esteem by all Jews. Therefore, Paul was not a nobody like the rest but someone proficient in the Law of Moses. He wrote and contributed about fourteen out of the twenty-seven epistles of the New Testament, having a dominant no lesser than Jesus's disciples. Instead of selecting one of the twelve disciples whom Jesus closely taught to champion the post-Christ movement, GOD chose Paul, who had never met Jesus and didn't claim to have met him. Paul is similar to Moses, who was taught by the best of the Egyptian court, and Paul, who was trained by Gamaliel, recognized as a Pharisee doctor of Jewish Law. Through Moses, GOD established the Old Covenant and through Paul, the New Covenant. Many of Paul's writings are challenging to comprehend and are unlike those written by Jesus's disciples, who are narrations of Jesus's ministry. Paul's writing expounds on the ministry of the Holy Spirit. When we put to death the deeds of the body, we are no longer under the law but under the Holy Spirit. Jesus's death parted a way for those who believe in Him to walk out of the bondage of sin like GOD parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to leave the bondage of Egypt. Unless we are willing to sin no more, we will not move out of the bondage of sin. The good news is the door remains open and will be opened forever to anyone who wants to leave their sin behind. The contention is not about the open door but who is exiting through the door. Many praise GOD for His goodness for the open door, but no one is leaving their Sodom and Gomorrah because they love sinning too much to leave. Therefore, no matter how good GOD is, it has nothing to do with anyone unless he wants to stop sinning. After evaluating all that Christ has done by His death on the cross, Paul still warns us that if we live according to the flesh, we will die, implying that the flesh is still alive in us, residing in the still soft voice, leading us into the way of evilness. Jesus's death or blood has no detrimental effect of it. It is still much alive, working its way to our death. It is like some cancerous cells working within us that cannot be removed by any means except by the Holy Spirit. Only those under the Holy Spirit have the power of the Holy Spirit to put to death the deeds of the body by sinning no more. Only then will they live. Many do not know that our enemy is well hidden within us, the first one to greet us in the morning and the last one to wish us goodnight, always talking to us and helping us make decisions. Those who listen to it become futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Paul describes them as having a depraved mind to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents. They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless. The blood of Jesus did not put a stop to the evil influences we are hearing. As long as we are willing to listen, it will speak. Once we listen, we become accomplices in crime, like Cain, who killed his brother Abel. Our enemy is much nearer to us than we think and more influential to us than we know. He is not the big bad fox lurking in the forest but the coaxing voice that, as our second nature, justifies us to sin. When we look at the broken lives, broken relationships, or broken bank accounts of many, we know many have listened to its foolishness and treated it as wisdom. We cannot outsmart our fallen nature because it has evolved through time to understand the weaknesses of men. Therefore, we need to stand firm on GOD's commandments and not depart from them. Only then can we not fall into destruction. However, despite our best intentions and determination, it will be challenging because we do not have what it takes to be better than our fallen nature. We are like David fighting Goliath, sure to be defeated. We are, as Jesus commented, 'Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.' Jesus could have given us a better answer as to how to combat the weakness, but He did not. What He said is as good as asking us to wait and see that we do not enter into temptation. It is not that He does not want, but it is not under His purview but the purview of Paul to introduce the Ministry of the Holy Spirit. Without this, the work of the Trinity would not be complete. Only then will we be like Samson in an incident where suddenly, a young lion came roaring at him, and the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him, and he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as one would tear a young goat. We will be tearing apart the roaring lion, our devour. Prayer: Thank you, God, for giving me the Holy Spirit to empower me to defeat my enemy and for opening my eyes to see how easily my enemy can infiltrate my mind and heart—just as easily as the Serpent is able to access the Garden of Eden to talk to Eve. Only when I study your words carefully will I not be like Eve, deceived into believing something that is not true. Continue to teach and guide me through your Holy Spirit so that I will not fall into the devil's trap and sin against you. Amen.

WOW 🚨 2 busses being loaded up with PAID PROTESTORS ready to go protest Elon Musk, DOGE and Donald Trump THEY’RE EVEN HANDING OUT SIGNS AS THEY LOAD THEM ON BUSSES “People don't believe that people get out here and they charter buses to do their protesting. They pay protesters. We got two full on busses — They're just paid protesters. Crazy.”

Wow. Grok is now being used in conjunction with Neuralink. Neuralink patients can have Grok 3 listen to the conversation and then generate options for them to quickly click so that they can have a conversation at normal speed. Super cool

Maye Musk: “The media and the politicians should stop being nasty and dishonest. They hated on Elon Musk for 15 years, but I trusted them with the other news. And then I realized they are dishonest in all aspects.” https://t.co/YSe3ZItgjs

.@LoomerUnleashed just captured video footage of Islamist protesters dressed in full Islamic garb being bussed into Washington DC for the massive anti-Trump and anti-@elonmusk protests that are happening today. We caught them on camera getting off the busses with their Islamic protest gear, with Keffiyehs and Palestinian flash. This is video evidence of a coordinated red-green alliance. The protesters are being bussed in from New York and New Jersey.
