In crypto, and business in general, major times of opportunities come and go over the coarse of a career. I’ve seen it many times. Just because you aren’t in a money making pattern at the moment, doesn’t mean the next one isn’t coming. The ones that “make it” are usually not the ones that get lucky in the easy cycle, it’s the ones that keep going year after year, never giving up and making a new opportunity or being ready when one comes along.
Someone said to me yesterday that the era of easy money in crypto is over. If that's true (I don't know if it is), then there's a good chance that most of you are wasting your time here. The reason is that almost everyone you see today who has achieved some level of success started their journey during one of these easy-money cycles. Whether it was buying BTC in 2012, getting into DeFi early, trading NFTs in 2021, memecoins in 2024, or InfoFi in 2025, the pattern is the same. You can't go from zero to one without an easy-money cycle. So if you're at zero now, there is a chance that you will stay there

Nice touch from @MeebitCompany! Ordered a print of my Meebit and it came with a pack of cards, which look fantastic. My fav is the refractor Apechain card but they are all 🔥.

oh you don't believe in the acceleration of biology? ask yourself why: - Moderna and Merck's personalized mRNA cancer vaccine just cut melanoma recurrence by 49% over 5 years. presented at ASCO 2026 this week. the same mRNA tech from COVID is now fighting cancer - CAR-T therapy used to take weeks in a specialized lab. in vivo CAR-T is now a single injection. off the shelf. moving into autoimmune disease and cardiac fibrosis - Ginkgo Bioworks' Nebula is the world's largest autonomous lab. running 36,000 reactions and generating 150,000 data points per loop. 24 hours a day. no human required. Amazon plugged them in as the wet lab backbone for their Bio Discovery platform - Isomorphic Labs raised $2.1B to design drugs with AI. the lab is becoming software - the first reverse-aging drug was injected into a human this week. Life Biosciences. David Sinclair is bullish this is june 2026 and as if thats not enough, we have the Superhuman Fund II actively backing the infrastructure that makes all of this possible at scale if you are building in this space, let's talk bio/acc

Not to mention the massive amount of taxes paid by small business owners, due to traditional LLc setups. Upwards of 50% of all net. Once you account for debt payments, and cash flow from growth, there is virtually nothing left. Imagine the innovation if these businesses had more oxygen to breath instead of being suffocated by taxes.
If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

Dang, been crushing it the last few days building with Fable 5. 😡
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

Replying to @bourscheid
No, you don't get it. He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies. To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined. Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems". $100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12 If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation. But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.

I’ve wanted to tell this story for years. Never had the courage. Here it is. I turned a presale allocation into $80 million on $OHM. Today I have $500k left. In 2021, I got a presale allocation in OlympusDAO, then aped heavily myself on top of it. The allocation got me in the door. My own conviction made me go all in. Staked everything. Watched it compound daily. By the peak I was sitting on $80 million. Then I started spending like the money printed itself. Private jets to Dubai because commercial felt beneath me. $40k weekends in Monaco. A garage full of cars I drove twice. Watches I never wore. I tipped $5k at dinners just to feel something. Every purchase was a flex for an audience that didn’t care. The casino was worse. High limit rooms in Vegas and Macau. I’d lose $2 million in a night and laugh it off because the portfolio would make it back by morning. Until it didn’t. When $OHM unwound, I didn’t sell. I doubled down. Then I leveraged. 5x, then 10x, trying to trade my way back to the peak. Every liquidation felt like a personal insult, so I’d open a bigger position. I wasn’t trading anymore. I was gambling with a different interface. $80 million became $20 million. $20 million became $4 million. I told myself $4 million was still life changing money. Then I levered that too. $500k. That’s what’s left. Here’s what I learned the expensive way: Unrealized gains are not money. I never had $80 million. I had a number on a screen and the arrogance to believe it was permanent. Getting in early is a gift. I treated it like a skill. The allocation didn’t make me a genius. It made me lucky. I confused the two for three years. Lifestyle inflation is a leak you don’t notice until the ship is underwater. The jets and cars didn’t kill me. The identity did. I became someone who needed to spend to feel like a winner. Leverage doesn’t get you back to even. It gets you to zero faster. Revenge trading is just grief with a chart open. Nobody at the table in Monaco remembers my name. I’ve carried this story alone for years. Too embarrassed to say it out loud. But $500k is more than most people will ever hold at once, and I’m done pretending the past didn’t happen. The next decade is about building slow and keeping what I make. If you’re up big right now, screenshot this. You’ll need it.

Will we all get access at 1.7 trillion valuation as exit liquidity?
JEFF BEZOS JUST EMERGED FROM STEALTH WITH A $41 BILLION AI STARTUP CALLED PROMETHEUS $12 billion raised. Valued at $41 billion. Coming out of stealth today. The backers: Bezos personally, JPMorgan, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, DST Global, and Arch Venture Partners. The mission: do for engineering and manufacturing what large language models did for text. Bezos is calling it an "artificial general engineer." Instead of training on words from the internet, Prometheus ingests data from the physical world to accelerate the manufacturing of skyscrapers, smartphones, jet engines, and everything in between. In Bezos' own words: "Something that today was going to take 100 engineers 10 years to build, if you can change that to taking 10 engineers one year to build, you're just going to get way more things built." This is Bezos' first CEO role since stepping down from Amazon in 2021. He's co-leading it with Vik Bajaj, former Google X executive. (Source Semafor)

are you paying attention chad? the anti-aging and human enhancement arms race just went geopolitical - Russia committed $26B. Putin made longevity a Kremlin priority. organ printing, genetics, cryotherapy. - China published a 5-year national biotech plan. gene therapy, BCIs, AI drug discovery. genuine human firsts, not me-too drugs. - UAE launched a national longevity program backed by sovereign wealth. zero taxes. fastest clinical trial approvals in the world. - Singapore is funding longevity research at the state level and recruiting the world's best biotech founders. and the private sector is not waiting - Life Biosciences just injected the first reverse-aging drug into a human - NewLimit raised $435M from Peter Thiel's Founders Fund. Brian Armstrong's bet on age reprogramming is moving from lab to clinic. - Retro Biosciences raised $1.8B. Sam Altman's bet on adding 10 healthy years to human lifespan is scaling. - Isomorphic Labs raised $2.1B. Demis Hassabis betting AI designs drugs better than humans. - Neuralink has 21 implants in humans. Merge Labs launched with $252M. the BCI race is real. - Altos Labs. $3B from Bezos. cellular rejuvenation. the largest single longevity round ever. every major power and every serious founder on earth is pointing at the same problem the race has begun bio/acc

Today we launched Nations of Nexus on @OthersideMeta. On the surface, it's a futbol inspired activation. 48 nation-inspired jerseys. 2 Otherside team jerseys. 2 shorts variants. A new wearable shop. A playable pitch in the Swamp. But for me, this launch represents something much bigger. Over the last several months, a small but incredibly talented team has been building what we've been calling internally Wearable Studio, a custom creation platform designed specifically for Otherside. The original goal was simple. Give creators the ability to move from idea to game-ready wearable faster than ever before. This activation became our proving ground. An opportunity to put the tooling, workflows, and pipeline through a real production environment, pressure test every assumption, and gather the learnings needed to make the platform stronger. For this activation, a single concept artist (we see you @Lovans) was able to create 52 wearables in an incredibly aggressive timeline, taking concepts all the way through to finalized assets that are now live in Otherside. From sketch to production. From production to distribution. All from the same platform. That outcome is not the result of working harder. It's the result of building better systems. The wearables launching today are the visible output, but behind them is months of work designing workflows, UX patterns, creation tools, storefront experiences, minting flows, and the supporting infrastructure needed to create, publish, and manage wearable content at scale while integrating learning along the way. What excites me most is that this activation demonstrates something we've believed for a long time. Wearables are more than cosmetics. They're identity. They're affiliation. They're access. They're participation. They're an extension of us. The jerseys you pick are not just something you wear. They determine which nation you represent. They unlock access to the pitch. They become your ticket into the experience itself. In this activation, wearables are not sitting on the sidelines. They're part of the gameplay loop. That's an important step toward a future where digital items can do more than just look good. They can help shape experiences, communities, and the worlds we participate in. As designers, some of the highest impact work we can do isn't creating the final asset. It's creating systems that allow entire teams to create more, move faster, and be more ambitious. That's what Wearable Studio represents to me. A platform built by creators, for creators. A force multiplier. This launch would not have happened without an incredible team of designers, artists, engineers, and producers, who pushed through every challenge to make it real. And none of it happens without leadership willing to trust their team, empower experimentation, and give people room to build something ambitious. Creativity has never been the bottleneck. The process usually is. Today is proof. 52 wearables. One concept artist. One platform. One activation. And a glimpse at what scalable creation inside Otherside can look like. The most exciting part for me isn't the 52 wearables we launched today. It's everything they make possible next. See you in the Swamp 🦍⚽

I had a dream of an NFT platform that generated billions of dollars. They lost relevance because they stopped to develop. The only way they hoped to recover was by no longer paying royalties - exactly the Creators who made them billions, now get nothing anymore. But one day, their developers created a really cool new product, so the marketing team and the CEO wondered, “How can we make more money again?” So they announced a token and said it would launch in the first quarter of 2026. Since they had vast amounts of historical data, they could have used that as a solid foundation to simply launch the token. But they said FUCK THAT BOZOS, they had the brilliant idea that they needed to start farming again and raise the fees on their platform So it wouldn’t look like greed, they’d give you half the profits from wash trading - and in the name of decentralization, they’d require KYC for amounts above a certain threshold, collecting fees without knowing who you are, but no, without tax forms, they wouldn’t give anything back. But then, in the final weeks of the first quarter of 2026, they finally said, “Ah, fuck it, no token for those retards. We made a killing.” Now they have the highest volume again and still decide not to pay any royalties.
