Day 3 of no caffeine and I’ve lost hearing in my right eye

I am a Web3 Ambassador at World Liberty Financial. There are 12 of us on the team page. 4 are named Trump. 3 are named Witkoff. The page calls us "the passionate minds shaping the future of finance." 600,000 wallets bought our memecoin. They lost $3.87 billion. The family collected $350 million in trading fees. It launched 3 days before the inauguration. 80% of the supply went to CIC Digital LLC and Fight Fight Fight LLC. I did not choose the names. I designed the allocation, the vesting, the timing, and the distance between the product and the President. The distance is my best work. I am the reason these events are unrelated. World Liberty Financial sends 75 cents of every dollar to DT Marks DEFI LLC. That is the family entity. Zero capital contributed. Zero liability assumed. I wrote this into the Gold Paper. Page 14. The lawyers bound it in white leather. The binding cost more than the due diligence. Justin Sun invested $75 million. He was facing SEC fraud charges. The SEC dropped the case. He is now our advisor. These events are unrelated. Changpeng Zhao pleaded guilty to federal money laundering violations. He received a presidential pardon. The SEC dropped its lawsuit against his exchange the same week we listed our stablecoin. Then the exchange settled a $2 billion deal entirely in that stablecoin. These events are unrelated. Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed of BitMEX pleaded guilty to Bank Secrecy Act violations. All 3 received presidential pardons. Then the company itself was pardoned. $100 million in fines. Gone. An American first. These events are unrelated. Sheikh Tahnoun of Abu Dhabi paid $500 million for a 49% stake that was never publicly disclosed. Then the administration approved semiconductor exports to his companies over national security objections. These events are unrelated. Everything is unrelated. I track the unrelatedness on a dashboard I built. The dashboard has 7 columns now. I am proud of the dashboard. On May 22nd, 220 people paid a combined $148 million to eat dinner with the America First president. Over half were foreign nationals. Justin Sun paid $18.5 million for the first seat. He visited the Executive Office Building the day before. I designed the seating chart. I put it on the Investor Confidence page. That page is doing well. The team page lists 3 Witkoffs. All 3 are Co-Founders. Steven Witkoff is the President's Middle East envoy. He testified as a character witness at the President's fraud trial. His son Zach runs the crypto operation. His son Alex is also a Co-Founder. I have not been told what Alex co-founded. The father runs the diplomacy. The sons run the platform. The family runs both. That is organizational efficiency. Barron is 19. His title is Web3 Ambassador. The same as mine. Donald Jr. called the conflicts of interest "complete nonsense." Eric launched a Bitcoin mining company called American Bitcoin. America First. The mining partner is Hut 8. Hut 8 was founded in Canada. America First means the name. On March 6th, the President signed Executive Order 14233 creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The order directs the government to hold Bitcoin. The President's family holds billions in Bitcoin. The executive order appreciates the President's assets by presidential decree. I did not write the executive order. I made sure it looked unrelated to the portfolio. Trump Media put $2 billion of Bitcoin on its balance sheet. The ticker symbol is DJT. His initials. The press secretary said it is absurd to insinuate the President profits off the presidency. Forbes calculated his crypto holdings exceed the combined value of Mar-a-Lago and Trump Tower. I would call that absurd too. That is my job. 600,000 wallets bought in. 1 of them asked why she could not withdraw her funds. I told her the protocol was experiencing dynamic market conditions. She asked what that meant. I sent her the Gold Paper. She said she had read the Gold Paper. I muted her channel. Dynamic means the conditions change. The condition that changed was her access. A congressman called us the world's most corrupt crypto startup operation. We put it on a coffee mug. Ironic merchandise. $45. The revenue split on the mug is also 75/25. My own tokens vest on a different schedule. I wrote that schedule. That is not in the Gold Paper. The memecoin funds the family. The family funds the platform. The platform funds the stablecoin. The stablecoin funds the deals. The deals require the pardons. The pardons free the partners. The partners fund the platform. The President signs the executive orders. The executive orders inflate the assets. The assets fund the family. I am the reason these events are unrelated.

Nobody is ready for what's coming. HIP-3 gives you perps on anything: stocks, oil, commodities, indices. HIP-4 gives you prediction markets on any event. Both native to the same L1, same CLOB, same settlement layer. Now combine them. A deployer stakes 500K HYPE and unlocks the ability to build financial products that don't exist anywhere else: Synthetic options from binary outcomes. Structured products mixing perps and predictions. Convexity strategies combining linear payoff (HIP-3) with binary payoff (HIP-4). Collars, capital-protected notes, range accumulators. All composable, all on one chain, all settling in the same block. Institutions could run oil futures alongside prediction markets on OPEC decisions. On the same infrastructure. With the same margin. No platform in TradFi or DeFi can do this today. Not Polymarket. Not Kalshi. Not Deribit. Not CME. Hyperliquid isn't building a prediction market. It's building the universal financial primitive layer. And almost nobody has realized it yet. Sleep well. The deployers won't. Hyperliquid.

Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies. In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts with—all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War. This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

the number of times i ask a simple question and get called a moron and blocked is insane. always people on the right. @NickSzabo4

not a great sign when the platforms promising to be the most accurate forecaster of events and granting people the ability to hedge on the future are spreading obvious falsehoods

dude learns 5000 years of human history by recent example

Uhhhh, no actually. Chavez nationalized most of Venezuela’s oil production decades ago, and arguably that wasn’t a halfway bad idea. His government spent those oil profits extensively on education, welfare and healthcare — and Venezuelans rapidly became the best educated society in Latin America with some of the highest standards of living. Chavez and his cronies also pocketed quite a large share of PDVSA’s oil revenue, but that wasn’t really much of a problem while he was alive because that overall revenue was large enough that nobody either noticed or cared. The US government was moderately annoyed with Chavez (since he’d technically appropriated American assets, and’d bailed on our decades old defense relationship), and they tried to assassinate him a few times, but after one particularly spectacular failure, the Bush administration slapped CIA on the wrist and said “bad, no more.” Lol, CIA was slapped with so many restrictions that they straight-up were not allowed to do anything “fun” until the 2020s. But, and this is well after the US government’s formal policy towards Venezuela became “simply do not engage with them”, the Venezuelan government under Chavez neglected to both create a rainy day fund, and to purchase the spare components necessary to maintain PDVSA’s oil infrastructure. Their fields ‘started’ falling into disrepair (with output beginning to dip), but since oil prices were still high, Chavez didn’t feel inclined to fix that particular problem. After he died though, and bequeathed his office to Maduro (who, speaking plainly, is nowhere near as smart as Chavez was), oil prices collapsed. Because the Venezuelan government hadn’t taken any prophylactic steps to shore up PDVSA’s infrastructure, when their oil revenue cratered, they didn’t have the money to purchase the equipment and spare components necessary to produce more oil (i.e. how petrol states usually offset a drop in prices). That sent Venezuela’s economy into a tailspin, since without that revenue, they couldn’t afford to sustain their welfare state, healthcare and schools (this is what triggered that massive refugee crisis in the 2010s). All that was bad enough, but Maduro and his cronies continued pilfering away the gradually decreasing amount of oil revenue at the same levels they were when the Venezuelan economy wasn’t complete dogshit.

X didn’t liberate speech. It monetized disinformation.

we’ve settled on 24 fps for that cinematic look in entertainment media, which is choppy, emulating the look of some of the first big projection films, and a not insignificant portion of the population watches it at home with AI interpolation of the gaps to create a smoother video

the fact that the spotify app doesn't have built-in visualizations speaks a lot to the difference between how we used computers in the early aughts vs today

white supremacy is common sense, guys

judges and governors the only ones with balls

conservative is thinking everyone is responsible for their own success, and that policies that make it harder to achieve that success but benefit those who already have it, are noble ones

hey guys, keep a lookout for people against fascism

everyone complaining about the administration’s assault on free speech is focusing on the speech of citizens and corporations. but what about the government’s speech?

Elon Musk says that the left is the party of murder and unless we fight back, they are going to kill us all. These words are truly irresponsible and so far from the truth that it's laughable. I am a Republican from California who lives in an area where Democrats win elections 90-10, and i have never once feared for my life. Both times that I voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020, i wore my red hat to the voting booth, and although people gave me dirty looks, i didn't fear for my life. The lunatics are a small fringe that the media loves to highlight. In a country with 75 million Democrats and 75 million Republicans, the violent incidents are tiny by comparison. These broad generalizations need to stop. It is disgusting and obvious that those who peddle the idea that the other side wants you dead are doing it for their own monetary or political gain. Americans on all sides need to start rejecting these merchants of hate no matter what side of the political aisle they are in.

Proposal: HIP-Dictator Establishing Jeff as Supreme Leader of Hyperliquid Abstract: To streamline governance and eliminate inefficiencies, I propose we abandon decentralization entirely and formally recognize Jeff as Supreme Leader of Hyperliquid. Under this structure, Hyperliquid transitions from a blockchain into a benevolent dictatorship, ensuring faster decision-making, zero community drama, and infinite uptime. Motivation: - Democracy is overrated. - Validators are too biased. - Twitter debates waste blockspace. - Jeff is already doing all the work anyway. Specification: - All validator votes are replaced with Jeff’s mood each morning. - The Assistance Fund will be renamed Jeff’s Assistance Fund. - Cancel prioritization will now include a “Praise Jeff” flag for guaranteed success. Rationale: Decentralization promised fairness, but centralization promises greatness. Other chains can keep their committees, we will keep our Supreme Leader. Conclusion: By passing HIP-Dictator, Hyperliquid will finally achieve what no other blockchain has dared: perfect centralization with perfect execution. All in favor, say: "Hyperliquid". All opposed, say: "Hyperliquid". Hyperliquid
