Having many kids in expensive cities are the real status symbol, the rest are larping.

This year, I have been thinking and allowing myself to feel a mix of excitement and hope, but at the same time, fear and dread. As someone who's been told as highly perceptive, it's been quite heavy to carry.
If you are between the ages of 20 and 28, we are constantly faced with an abundance of intelligence and a world that seems to be rapidly drifting away from the 'old ways.' and I'm certain it hasn't always been easy to navigate.
We were taught that mastering predictable, orderly disciplines was the way to go, until recent breakthroughs proved otherwise.
I can't even explain how many people don't seem to be aware of this shift, thinking that in the end, economic implications are what matter most.
Most importantly, don't lose yourself and hope on what kind of life you wanted to live trying to make sense of everything <3

After seeing the news on the overall tech sell-off and @binance’s largest hack, I concluded that X is still a much better place to curate your source.
There are a lot of misleading takeaways and hyperbolic perceptions regarding the $BTC pullback, which is likely also factored by broader risk appetite not the hack itself, especially from the developing story by @CNN's tech reporter.
$BTC being down only 4% post $6B hack proves it's resistance and being battle tested against scenarios.
Still not bearish x

Lee Kuan Yew being technically Indonesian-Chinese is something I discovered only late in life.

Today, we're beginning the phased resumption of withdrawals, taking a careful approach to ensure services return safely and securely.
We've now replenished approximately 95% of the impacted assets, and our commitment remains clear: Binance will absorb the financial impact of the stolen funds, not our users.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued trust. We know this hasn't been easy, and we're committed to seeing the recovery through.

US Law Enforcement agencies (FBI, USSS, IRS and more) provided vital help in this incident, including tracking, freezing, etc.
A tweet can’t fully express our gratitude. Many crypto bros may not realize, a lot of the "why bitcoin didn't drop more?" credit goes to them. 🙏
The FBI is releasing information advising the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion USD in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, on or about October 29, 2026. The FBI refers to this specific North Korean malicious cyber activity as "TraderTraitor."
The FBI, together with partners at the USSS and IRS-CI, has observed TraderTraitor actors converting stolen assets primarily into Ethereum (ETH). It is expected these assets will then be further laundered by converting them using DeFi and instant swap services as they prepare them for further laundering stages.
How You Can Help:
FBI, USSS, and IRS-CI are urging private sector entities including THORNode operators, RPC node operators, instant exchanges, DeFi services, blockchain analytics firms, and other virtual asset service providers to block transactions with or derived from addresses TraderTraitor actors are using to launder these stolen assets.
A list of addresses associated with this activity is available here: fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/al…

satisfy your soul, not society.
people will always have something to say about how you live your life, how you spend your 20's, who you date, how much money you make, and whether you're doing enough with your life. you could spend all the time in the world trying to meet those expectations and still come up short. at some point, you need to look in the mirror and decide if your life is something you're actually enjoying or just performing to the expectations of others.

Looks like Binance just got hit by the biggest hack in crypto history.
~$1.8B frozen in USDC / USDT so far, so roughly $1.7B in unremediated losses.
Thankfully, Binance is by far the most profitable exchange in crypto. They're good for it. This is considerably less than what they make in profit in a year. So no need to panic if you're a Binance customer.
All of crypto is getting pentested right now. If you are under-investing in AI security / pentesting, now is the time to fix that.

No I actually think I like exhausted men 😭😭🤣🤣
Idk why.
The last guy I was seeing was always working, but I found it romantic because he was so intentional with me. Despite how busy he was, he always made time for me. It felt like his entire life was work and me lol.
Then I see women complaining about their men being on Instagram entertaining other girls and I’m like 😭😭😭 just pick a man who’s too busy for Instagram???
There’s something so attractive about watching a man in action and admiring his work.
Maybe I’m a weirdo but I think I’m meant for a really busy man. I love men who are passionate about what they do and have a purpose beyond chasing random women’s attention.

Cryptocurrency and Zcash went through “bugpocalypse” this spring.
It was an intense ~3 months or so. A lot of hacks. A lot of critical security patches.
You’ll notice that there were no big crypto hacks this week while web2 melts down.
There is light at the end of the tunnel.

W Singapore.
You don’t only complain about declining marriage and birth rates year over year, instead you incentivize mothers to stay at home postpartum, create a platform to facilitate relationships, and help families to raise big family.
Beside Russia, Singapore seems to be the only country taking birth and marriage decline seriously 👏

How can anyone look at these tiny, impossibly beautiful creatures, with their little hands, curious eyes, and hearts overflowing with love, and not feel an ache to become a mother?
Something in me physically aches at the thought of carrying a little life beneath my heart, feeling those tiny movements inside my womb, bringing someone into existence only to spend a lifetime kissing their little cheeks, holding their warm bodies against my chest, and watching them discover the world.
They are innocence made flesh, love. I want a house overflowing with babies and their endless need to be held. Make lots and lots of babies.

Fun fact of the day: Bitcoin mining cost is split about 50/50 between compute capex and electricity. Meanwhile, AI inference is almost completely dominated by compute capex.
