the clash UK was breaking barriers once upon a time. there is a metal version of that and i hope at minimum you can GTI or a similar band of stature to at least write a song for the cause. punk rock once stood for something. we need every weapon we have. music is one of them.

for the metalheads, my favorite find this year is a band called Sable Hills from japan. think At The Gates. highly recommend.

i mean this. genuinely. for the sake of your soul. listen to stevie ray vaughan.

roughly three years ago, i spent 6 months dating the head of risk and controls at one of the largest banks in the US. btc was trading ~$25k at the time. she would come to my place and see btc books on my shelf and make the usual ignorant comments. on dinner dates, she would ask what i did that day, and i would frequently say i bought more btc. snide remarks followed. one time, in response to one of these remarks, i told her that within a year she would be having convos about btc inside her bank. she laughed. then a month later she dumped me. a year later, btc crossed 100k for the first time. ironically, she is one of the main people responsible for CFTC compliance at her bank. with btc once again trading near 100k, a bull market in sight, and today's news of the CFTC embracing btc, i don't have to ask to know that i live rent free in her head. she'll be thinking about our convos forever. and sorry mama...ya boy left the station a long time ago. ✌🏻😘

imprison this manufacturer immediately. see how foolish that sounds?

give em enough rope

keep going

you never need patience more than when you’re about to lose it

sometimes we have to revisit songs we haven’t played in years. see if you can spot this one.

if this has been your scene since adolescence, we are cut from the same cloth. keep dancing.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

can’t remember the post but you mentioned russell napier recently and your respect for him, as well as disagreeing on btc. good point you made about communication flow that is vastly different from prior periods and may assist btc in the challenges russell offers. case in point may be right in front of us. chanos and others screaming loudly of an AI bubble. is it? sure, probably. begging for a govt backstop isn’t a great sign. those that want to get out now are likely influenced by big minds sounding the alarm on the bubble through social media. this will accelerate. and it was not possible in the late 90s and prior bubbles. it also works both ways. the bubble screamers could very well be replaced by btc screamers when the peanut butter hits the fan. and when it does, you will have gen alpha - the cohort growing up on roblox and other digitally native worlds (i see a 7 yr old interact w these w these platforms w savant-like fluidity every day) leading the charge. skeptics do not want to be offsides in that world.

happy halloween my fellow misfits 🎃🎵

still a net positive to the space. claiming otherwise is like saying the lifelong rocker is a poser bc he also likes michael jackson. nah. miopic thinking is a death wish to one’s self.

act like you’ve been here before. remember the euphoria you felt watching btc cross $100k for the first time. we’re going to be just fine. this is nothing.

just glad i’m not the only one here that appreciates them

how on this app do i find other oasis fans?

life is way easier when you live as if your btc stacked doesn’t exist. this is advice. and yes i’m balls long. plenty aside for days like this. too many people ‘all-in.’ that was once me until i realized that if this thing is going where we think its going, you don’t need to be all in. never be a forced seller, and always be in a position to buy. 😘

brian wilson 😢 the best are tortured souls. all of them. all of us.

i am unapologetically fitness oriented. an old boss - most likely due to his own insecurities- used to condescendingly ask me why i ran marathons if i was never going to win the money races like a kenyan. he was fat. and to be clear, there are a lot of rich, fat, wall st talking heads on all of our timelines. i’d rather be young and fit with a few milly than obese and old with your billy. enjoy your heart attack.

if you can’t handle the corrections, you don’t deserve the erections.

if btc was a band you love, what album cycle are we in?
