Buried my dad yesterday. He would always ask me the price of $XRP every morning. When it ran to 92 cents a few months ago we had so much fun with it. Glad I got to share that run with him.
All the 💰 in the world couldn't have saved my dad from his gastric cancer. (1/2)

Imagine you’re about to enter a marathon. If you finish in the top 5% you’ll make $1m.
You arrive pumped and ready until you look around and see millions of competitors. They all look good too. Great sport shoes, new clothing and the latest energy drinks.
You feel like giving up on the spot. There’s too much competition.
Then you discover the almost all of them intend to just walk for the whole race. They’re not actually planning to win or even trying to get into the top spots.
Some of them are ambitious and they do want to win but their plan is to do cartwheels instead of running.
You suddenly realise that all you have to do is jog consistently and you’ll be in the top 5%.
Sure enough the top 1% of competitors are unbeatable. They’re practically sprinting the whole race. But if you jog you’ll easily be in the top 5% and get $1m.
You’re not really competing with millions of people. Most like to look good but they aren’t really trying and many who are trying are doing things that look impressive but don’t work.
That’s what it’s like being in business in 2026.

Was literally explaining the, "society falls when old men don't plant trees they will never sit under" to my neighbor (boomer)
He said he didn't get it and why would he plant trees if won't be around to see them

Let me be blunt. Those who are afraid of AI feel deep down that they are impostors & have no edge. If you have a 1) clear mind, 2) a deep, not just cosmetic, undertanding of your specialty, 3) and/or are original enough to reinvent yourself when needed, AI will be your friend.
Dave Ramsey created a generation of pussies.
A whole generation afraid of leveraging debt. Shit, he made them afraid of their own shadows.
When you're in the red, the energy required to get you to a neutral position maybe comparable to the energy required to enter an offensive position.
Shooters shoot.

You rarely change someone's mind by arguing harder.
Let your results make the point. People can dispute your words, but results are harder to dismiss.

We are all self-absorbed, locked in our own worlds. It is a therapeutic and liberating experience to be drawn outside ourselves and into the world of another.

we have a winner for the most absurd AI startup ever
this Peter Thiel backed company uses AI robots to stab fish in the brain so they taste better and last up to 3x longer
it's called Shinkei and it modernizes a centuries-old Japanese technique
dozens of Michelin-star restaurants are already lining up to buy the fish
here's how it works:
> the problem is when a fish gets caught, it usually just suffocates on the boat
> that stress floods the meat with hormones and lactic acid, which hurts the flavor and texture
> the old Japanese fix for this was spiking the fish through the brain right after the catch, which stops all that
> but doing it by hand is impractical for most American fishing crews
> so Shinkei built a fridge-sized robot that sits right on the boat's deck
> the crew feeds in a fish and AI identifies the exact species, so it knows exactly where the brain and gills are
> the robot then drives the spike through the brain and cuts near the gills in about 7 seconds
> the fish goes into an ice slurry so the blood drains out
> so the fish doesn't sit there stressing out, and that tasty flavor and texture is preserved
example number 5,392,417 of how AI can be applied to literally anything

Everyone saying “Oh Jensen got got. Jensen fell for the honeypot”
Ever consider he knew the whole time? That actually HE was honeydicking China and feeding them false intel?
It’s a new Cold War. There’s levels to this. Don’t jump to conclusions. Don’t rule out a honeydick
Props to all the $XRP holders who thought the lawsuit win was the moonshot...and still held when it wasnt.
We're not fucking leaving til it makes that dent...
0 or 1.

Hilarious: When Bill Belichick watched Gronkowski and his family on the draft stage after the Patriots picked him.
Belichick instantly knew he drafted an animal.

Don’t: focus on the negative and enter a state of paranoia.
Do: focus on the positive and enter a state of pronoia.
Pronoia is the belief that universe is secretly conspiring to help you or do you good.

Being someone's biggest hype person might actually help them become who they want to be.
Believe in their potential. Encourage their goals. Help them get there.
There's actual research on this. It's called the Michelangelo phenomenon.

Replying to @wholemars
Not quite betting the company, but going balls to the wall for autonomy is a blindingly obvious move.
Everything else is like variations on a horse carriage.

Ten years ago everyone on crypto twitter was bullish and the bankers said it was all a scam. Now everyone on crypto twitter says it’s all a scam and the bankers are bullish

Food delivery apps are fucking incredible.
They charge the restaurant a fee, the customer a fee, pay the driver fuck all, and somehow still manage to lose money.
I'm beginning to think the greatest innovation of modern capitalism is finding new ways to be a middleman.
