Governments need to encourage entrepreneurship and this is not the way to do it!

BREAKING:
The Netherlands just told its citizens to go to hell.
36% tax on unrealized gains. Approved.
You didn't sell anything.
You didn't make a single euro in cash.
Your portfolio went up on paper.
The government sends you a bill anyway.
61,000 citizens petitioned against it.
Parliament approved it anyway.
No cash to pay the tax? Not their problem.
Asset crashes after you paid? Not their problem.
This is not tax policy.
This is the government treating your paper gains as their income. Before you've made a single euro.
The most talented Dutch investors are already leaving.
Capital goes where it is treated best.
2028 is coming.
Plan accordingly.

DAVID SACKS: “Anthropic has a job listing for a software engineer on their website right now for $570,000 … So what Anthropic is saying is they're still trying to hire software engineers, at a very high wage, but somehow they think these jobs are going to be eliminated.”

“Taking a break” is never inspiring when you are the leader!

I’ll be honest; $ADA made me a lot of money back in 2020. Bought early, rode the wave, took profits. Genuinely grateful for it.
But that was a different era. Different market. Different Cardano.
Today? I wouldn’t touch it with someone else’s money. Ecosystem collapsing, founder publicly checking out, summit cancelled because the community couldn’t even agree to fund it. $0.16 and bleeding.
The same thesis that made it a great buy in 2020 is exactly why it’s uninvestable now. The hype carried it. The hype is gone.
Sometimes the smartest trade is knowing when a chapter is closed.
RIP Cardano 🪦

My hot take...
There is absolutely no reason why you should spend more than $5,000 on a wedding if you’re making less than $1M a year.
I literally got married in a parking lot wearing a $150 dress from Anthropologie with roses from the grocery store… and I was worth a few 8 figures.
The modern wedding is nothing more than a huge financial cosplay we’ve normalized for pure performance sake.

Universities are backing themselves into a dangerous corner by becoming more expensive at the same time they're becoming less necessary.

If #Cardano is really dead,
why does someone show up almost every day to explain that it’s dead?
Think about that for a moment.
People don’t run campaigns against irrelevant things.
They don’t write threads.
They don’t make videos.
They don’t spend years talking about them.
If something truly no longer matters,
the market simply forgets it.
