I just realized the best thing about Crypto:
It taught an entire generation of investors about technical analysis and risk management. Fast.

Who would you rather have running for office?
A self-made “billionaire”.
or
A “professional politician” funded secretly by many “billionaires” and corporate interests through SuperPacs who dictate the candidate’s policies.

In the midst of it now. Wish I had more wisdom to share just very hard. Communicating with siblings and keeping good notes has been helpful.
Thanks for sharing the stuff below.
I’m still blown away with how fast and easy $SOL is every time I use it.
It is what DAPPs have been trying to achieve for half a decade.
Good UX has finally arrived.
We need a massive wave of Startups Fast to create 20 Million Jobs.
We should Modernize America:
Energy, Transportation, Food and Water Systems.
$2T and 20 Million Jobs.
If we can bail out Wall Street again, we can do this.
The time is Now for Action.

Create a script that looks profile picture and screen name of tweets replying to accounts greater than 20k. Then check to see if they have any Crypto reference.
If picture = same & name = close & crypto, then flag as spam.

China is generating more electricity from coal alone than the US from all sources combined.
Quite a perspective to consider when discussing Net Zero and greener economies at a global level.
Bitcoin still dirty Coin. Not good.
“They concluded that, in late 2018, the entire bitcoin network was responsible for 22-22.9 million tons of CO2 per year — similar to a large Western city or an entire developing country like Sri Lanka”.
Why can’t we stop all the QE, bailouts and corporate handouts and just give money to all the people who are losing their jobs?
Why are our priorities as a country so backwards?

This reminds me of Buffett’s 3 “i” framework.
In every industry:
First come the Innovators.
Then the Imitators copy the Innovators and capture value.
Lastly come the Idiots who copy the Imitators and destroy all the value.
Yet we remember the Innovators...
Let me help you with the math.
$1k / month = $12k / year.
$12k * 324 MM People = $3.9T.
The U.S. Government will generate $3.6T in revenues in 2019.
So basically we can cut all other programs to fund this if you want.
#Math
We are the richest society in the history of the world - $20 trillion GDP up $5 trillion in the last 12 years alone. We can easily afford a dividend of $1k/month per adult if that’s what we want to do. Anyone who says we don’t have the money isn’t looking at the right numbers.
@seanhannity
We should beat China and Germany in the race to innovate in energy efficiency and productivity. American companies should lead.

Twitter is modern thinking because it is collective thinking.
We are connected to it and therefore each other as a sort of hive-mind processing Reality together as a collective.
Not Tweeting is therefore like being cut off from the collective mind of what is happening.

How lucky!
It is long overdue that the younger generations - Gen X and Millennials especially - take the reigns from the Boomers in Leadership.
They failed us over and over again. Permanent wars. Destroying our economy. Dividing us with partisanship.
There are no excuses for inaction.
@AdamSinger
Dude please never apologize for being you. The reason we all follow you is you are yourself. Life can be painful as hell sometimes - that’s just being honest.
I’m sure I speak for thousands of us when I say this bro. Just keep being you. Dark, light or whatever.
It is pretty disgusting to think about network “TV” airing the funeral of an Iranian general while they continue to ignore the hundreds of kids getting killed in Chicago every year.
Where are the live feeds of the funerals of these kids getting shot way too young way too often?
@Cernovich
Collective consciousness is real.
Twitter enhances and accelerates that because we are connected to one another in real time on a global basis.
In a real way the conversations aren’t just happening on an individual level. We are participating in consciousness unfolding.
Request for startup:
Can someone please build a basic app so doctors can coordinate their care so we don’t have to literally call them to communicate what each one says to us about our parents’ visits?
I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday.
Felt the impact of the first plane while in the shower. Saw the second plane hit out my window with a friend.
Worked across the street and lived 2 blocks away.
We were United then. Better.

We must be United Again. 🇺🇸

First thing our Marketing prof at HBS said: “Learn Sales”.
His last piece of advice: “Learn Sales”.
% of people who listened the first 5 years after school: 0.
% who regretted it as they spent the next 5 finally having to learn it: 100%.
Always great to hear

Ended with good advice: we need to learn to “look up” and not compete with each other so much.
In a shocking upset, Rep. Joseph Crowley, who had been considered a candidate to become the next House speaker, has been defeated by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a Democratic congressional primary in New York.

Yeah this is basic and not new.
If you let them use the algorithm the feed will include all kinds of accounts you don’t follow. Perhaps now more “mixed” than before (unsurprisingly).
If you default to chronological feed then there will be no accounts you don’t follow.

As time passes the pain of losing our loved ones fades and our love for them and our memories becomes more pure.
Rest in peace Mom. We love you and miss you.
All fun and games for the Rich who have jobs and assets.
Inflation is death to the unemployed and poor.
This isn’t a “joke”. This is one of the biggest wealth grabs and history by the rich and it is getting worse by the day.
One thing that's clear is that everything from grains to lumber to semiconductors is experiencing shortages and price inflation
IMO the Fed needs to act on this fast.
Gotta cut rates and do more QE to spur even more investment to expand supply.

Seeing establishment types triggered by the coming tidal wave of innovation in Web 3 is nothing new:
Legacy industries always resist change.
Yet, progress is inevitable.
@NPRKelly
This shouldn’t be mind blowing. It seems obvious that our enemies want to weaken us and are succeeding: what could be better than divisions from within?
What is mind blowing is how much people have fallen for it.
The President was cleared from conspiring with the Russians, thank God...
But it is still Sad that he acts like a child on the playground hurling insults and name calling.
Can we please move beyond these Whiny Baby Boomers to a new Generation of Leaders?
The most successful people I know:
1) Are outraged that kids are being torn from their parents with no way to reconnect them.
That is all.
Hell, even losers I know...
All humans.
There are no words for the rage and sadness felt for the loss of these little kids having fun in their last week of elementary school, their lives taken with such evil.
Fuck all of us who let this happen.
This is beyond politics.
This is our ultimate failure as human beings.
You will know politics has finally gotten real when people admit the obvious:
We have to cut defense spending.
We have to cut Medicare.
We have to reform social security.
We can’t pretend like $21T in debt is OK. This is unsustainable.
@neelkashkari
The overnight lending market broke. By stepping in to *buy* T-bills and provide repo capacity, the Fed “fixed” this market, which directly enables market participants (like hedge funds) to chase yield again across markets like equities.
Calling a purchase a “swap” obfuscates it.
God works in mysterious ways we can’t understand.
Faith is appreciating the Grace of the daily gifts we might not at first realize are the beautiful things they are.
We are so very Blessed - and Loved - even we don’t at first know it.
Caring for an ailing parent is so hard...From a long distance it is the worst.
Yet seems so common. Our society is so great in many ways but this part sucks.
Life is beautiful but boy can it be hard.
Guess one thing 2020 has reminded us of already is to cherish each day...

@MustStopMurad
is absolutely correct about asset inflation which we’ve experienced for a decade which was the direct result of QE. Not all “inflation” is created equally.
People on fixed incomes are crushed by inflation.
Not really.
We’re great at giving money to big companies that blow up after wasting all their cash on buybacks, market participants who don’t have risk management, and banks who don’t need it.
We just aren’t good at giving money to ordinary people who actually need it most.
I don’t think the economic solution to this crisis is really that hard. But giving money to people for doing nothing may literally be the thing we’re the worst at.
We are finding so many teachers investing in things like this in their 403b’s They are paying 6.90% in annual fees. 💰 The front end load Applies to EVERY paycheck contribution until they reach a break point then is “lowered” to 3.7%

No. That is not correct. Inflation had absolutely occurred in healthcare, education, and rents. AND inflation has occurred in assets stretching inequality.
The fact wage inflation has lagged is only part of the picture.
