This data is very alarming guys, you need to fuck more 😂 .

Whenever you feel dumb, just remember that there are people who bought negative-yielding bonds.

PSA. Don't touch leverage if you dont know the rules.

The rules:

Every trade is a bet on the accuracy of your market judgement and timing. Your stop loss is the window within which you are willing to trust that judgement. When you add leverage, you shrink that window.

The rational response then is to start any consideration of leverage by first deciding on the $ value of your confidence and the range over which that confidence is valid. Those two things will tell you what leverage you think your judgement can handle. Taken together they will also yield the capital amount that needs to be tied up to meet criteria.

Caveats:

- leverage is a borrowed wind and can easily capsize your boat. Stay away if not a degen.

For Degens, gamblers, reprobates and adrenaline Junkies:

- only a tiny percentage of your portfolio should be subject to leverage at any one time.

- stop losses have to be extremely well managed. $ Window of trust remains at whatever the initial trust level was. ie. 100,1000 or 10 dollars at risk at any time. so everytime there is sufficient gain, advance the stop losses. Don't suddenly trust your read more more

- 90% of trading time spent on initial reads and postmortems

Really interesting cueva restaurant outside of Teotithuacan.

Original ≈2500 year old Teotithuacan temple art. Our tour guide was based af. He was shook that the main pyramids in Teotithucan were built with the exact same layout as the pyramids in Giza (mimicking Orion) and said he has no idea how this could have happened. But that it being a coincidence is impossible. #artstr #grownostr #mexico

I don't really talk on the phone anymore. Plus service is usually shit anyway. Mainly a data plan but that is primarly for streaming podcasts, which I can just download ahead of time. I don't need to be in contact all the time and I could just be busy as easily as not connected to wifi. Most of my circle is based weirdos so they stop by like its the 90's if they want to hangout. I am getting them all on my SimpleX server so we don't give the man all our good material for free lol. I have moved all my freedom tech to a anon degoogled pixel and have just started only using it. I have my management team handle all my business calls. I just decided to firewall myself and have others communicate over phone and email on my behalf.

- alt npubs for nip05 email registrations

- simplex chat to replace text, signal, telegram

- silent.link is a great esim option if needed and cn be topped up anytime via lightning

Bitcoiners without Nostr accounts are a bit sus to me now.

Sin pays better though

All of the profits from the first thousand copies of Broken Money went to the Human Rights Foundation, since Alex Gladstein's public research was so useful for the book and I like the work they are doing worldwide.

The profits from the next four thousand copies went to making an animated half-hour video about Broken Money to reach people that haven't read the book, which we released a few days ago.

My graphics/editing team wanted to make sure that the video had good average viewer time in the first week to help with the YouTube algorithm, rather than the video be sent a ton of clicks that might watch it only briefly and hurt the early quality metrics, so they advised me to soft-launch it at first. We purposely haven't notified my email list or my Twitter feed yet, etc. But it's out there.

It's a half-hour video about the technological evolution of money, with animation. We put a lot of production value into it. And for the people who were sad that I didn't narrate the Broken Money audiobook, I did narrate this video.

In the coming weeks I will spread awareness for the video across my platforms, but for starters, it has been found here on Nostr.

Enjoy:
