The earthquake this morning, Monday, August 10 at approximately 7:25 in the morning Colombian time turns out to be a 7.1 and it lasted about 80 seconds. I'm here in Medellín no damage. #medellin #earthquake #colombia
Just remember the government is the most badass and dangerous gang. they've got the weapons. they make the rules.
Women don't identify potential. They identify success.
That's why women are attracted to a man with options. Success is a lagging indicator, and chasing it is a bad dating strategy.

There's entire guides and how-to videos for Airbnb hosts on how to remove guest reviews
All you have to do is state it's either:
- retaliation
- extortion
- irrelevant
- private informaton
- discrimination
They even show you what is the one you should choose to get the most likely odds of getting it removed:
- discrimination: very high odds
- extortion: very high odds
- retaliation: high odds
- irrelevant: 50-50

Airbnb just responded to "reviewgate"
The replies here are literally hundreds of people who got their reviews removed directly contradicting what Airbnb says here
The "policy" they have seems to be to remove a guest's review and rating whenever a host asks for it
I don't get why they don't just fix this? Everyone would love to see Airbnb have honest reviews and ratings you can trust
Short term you might get more bookings if everything is a 4.5 or 4.99 but long term people discover it means nothing and they can't trust your platform and they leave elsewhere
I think they're in some internal gridlock by MBAs who want to see revenue go up, not realizing that they're destroying a company
I hope they fix it!
Massive update to my free options training (actually free bc i like to share)
as of today I'm getting 17.1% on that strategy

Once I understood government is the ultimate gang, the legalized gang because they won, a lot makes sense.
There's no difference between the USA and Venezuela and Haiti, for example, except that the USA, of the three gangs, is strongest.

It's like ordering from a menu versus cooking.
When you go to a restaurant, the food is usually good AND you could usually improve it by adding or subtracting an ingredient, versus,
Cooking something more personalized at home.
If you're a totally shitty cook, going to a restaurant, while more expensive, will be your best option, but,
If you wanna learn to cook, you will get a meal more perfecting aligned with your taste buds.

Counting cards is easier than you think. Counting cards with my modified method is a piece of cake. Now you can look forward to your next Las Vegas trip!
$ABNB is the company I most follow. It doesn't have a bright future without management change, and even then companies like this that aren't founder-led tend to not perform will.
I sold at $150, $177, $195.
I also sold $170,000 worth of options at $140-$155.
As of today, I have correctly predicted the future and feeling satisfied after a $12 drop yesterday. #airbnb
I've made 17.1% with 5 minutes of my time trading #options most mornings.
The strategy I use is very low risk. If I dialed up the risk could easily get 20%+.
In ten years, only twice have my options been exercised against me.

>50% of your tax dollars are wasted.
If you pay $25,000 in taxes per year, you should be $12,500.

i think formal education is overvalued
as are teachers
successful people are born successful. neither a formal education nor a good teacher affect this for the positive
but they affect in negative often
when government is small, the people fill in the gaps
go to any developing country to find out
no animal rescue? locals do it for profit and not for profit
no daycares? locals offer it
no police? locals police
do you want your neighbor or your government?
Thanks for having @TheBelmontePH 💪 welcome to Medellin

A friend bought a 4BR penthouse in El Poblado in 2021 as an Airbnb
Previous owner had a traditional property manager and was clearing $42K a year
Same unit today:
→ All-in cost: $492K (2 billion COP, bought in cash)
→ Gross revenue: $133K–$164K a year
→ Expenses: ~$40K a year (daily cleaner, $1K/mo admin, ~$750/mo utilities, $3K tax)
→ Cap rate: 23%
→ 200+ reviews at 4.97
Nearly 4x what the last owner made, same apartment
What changed:
→ Hot tub moved to the first photos (buried prior)
→ Daily cleaning, zero checkout rules
→ Constantly tweaking the listing
Catch:
He counted 78 four-bedroom units available within a 10 min walk available this week, market is up 380% since 2021
This return doesn't exist for a new buyer anymore, but the playbook still does
Full tour in the replies...
I predict an injury if he goes through with the dunk goal. Just hopefully it's not too serious, though it very well could be.
UPDATE: I invested over $300k with online platforms from 2021 to 2024 and made this post 👇 in 2025 conceding (mostly) defeat.
Over 4 years I made a return of 0.7%. But that's set to change because I just cashed out $50,000 from #Fundrise VCX fund.
This brings my returns to somewhere around 4% over 5 years.
I now trade options for 11% annual returns and buy underperforming businesses where I can 3-4x the revenue with active management.
My $324,000 and 4-year experiment 🧑🔬📉
I made $10,000 with a diversified portfolio in the following companies:
@Masterworks (4%)
@Yieldstreet (-22%)
@ProsperLoans (3%)
@kickfurther (-33%)
@ArrivedHomes (-16%)
@heytechvestor (0.5%)
@fundrise (12%)
@GoSteward (14%)
@investpercent (8%)
Plus, I lost 100% of my $12,500 in @PeerStreet and Here.co
I did it so you don't have to.
If I had put that money in the #SP500 it would have been $505,000 from 2021 to today.
