Not a single bottom in the history of #Bitcoin actually looked like a bottom but more like a fully broken structure like in 2015, or 2018.
Buying very big for the long term, I dont care for short term price movements. Iam ready to hold two or three years.
See you in 2024

Dads and 90s kids, here's a fact:
We had it so good with SportsCenter and we didn't know it.... How could we?
We didn't know what was on the horizon that would try to take it down: first, league passes and TiVo and DirecTV... then the Internet and social media and YouTube...
During that brief, bright spot in sports media in the 1990s, SportsCenter was the only way to get the day's highlights...
We had black and white photos and box scores and features in the newspaper...
We had brilliant writing and reporting and pictures in Sports Illustrated and Sporting News and ESPN: The Magazine...
But for the day's highlights...
To watch Ken Griffey Jr. make a diving catch or Jordan hit a game winner or Barry Sanders twirl through a defensive line...
If you didn't catch it live, the only way to see it was on SportsCenter (maybe your local news sports show - maybe)...
And into this void stepped Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann and Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen and Craig Kilborn and Linda Cohn and Robin Roberts and crew...
And all the catch phrases every kid in high school and college would repeat: "cool as the other side of the pillow"... Jumanji... En Fuego....
We'd watch SportsCenter at night then again in the morning.
It was a monolith. You'd show up at school and you'd have the same frame of reference for the highlights you saw. It was a shared experience.
It was awesome. And even though the show still exists and works, it's not a cultural touchstone anymore... it can't be... not with every highlight available from 1,000 sources across social media instantly...
And there are bright spots to be sure... My man and Top 10 Randy (@RandyScottESPN) is terrific. So are plenty of others.
But classic SC, man. It was a shared experience. By everyone.
These kids don't know... Sitting there, retweeting highlights, sharing reels, scrolling their feeds... Doing the work to find what they like with no commentary or context.
Times change. I get it. And we always glorify what we grew up on. Maybe that's all this is.
Still, I miss Stu Scott. He ruled.
If you agree, share this and follow me @Jon_Finkel.
Boo-Yah!

Bitcoin’s slogan should be to “Make War Expensive Again.”
Today war is 100% free (+ insanely profitable).
Costs nothing for U.S to create billions of $$ to pay defense contractors to manufacture insanely powerful weaponry.
Nothing. Zero. 0️⃣
Hard money makes war unaffordable.

Effective immediately
Any human on the face of this earth that serves as a public servant over the age of 67 is expired
67 is the retirement age in the United States. If civilians are “required” to retire, so should public servants
we are all equal, they are not above the law

You buy a property for $400,000
You put $100,000 down
You pay $30,000 to improve the property
The property is now worth $560,000
You just doubled your money
You made money off the total property but only put 25% down
Leverage is what makes real estate so profitable 💰

14 years ago my wife and I sat at this bench and decided to move away from California.
We could no longer afford life here.
It was mid-2009. We were in the midst of the Great Financial Crisis.
My job was safe - but any prospects of my first bonuses as a real estate development associate partner were now years away. Our company’s pipeline was non-existent.
We loved life here. It felt like a dream.
Two kids from the Midwest living in one of the most amazing cities in the country.
But the run had ended. We were down to a few thousand dollars in our account.
So a few months later we tearfully departed. I’ll never forget driving over the Bay Bridge after winding through SF one last time.
Life is funny though. 14 years later we are again living what feels like a dream.
We stopped back in town. We are staying in the penthouse of the hotel a few blocks from here.
Leaving felt like a death at the time in 2009. But I’ve come to realize it was our rebirth.
Everything good that’s happened is because we made unpopular (“you’re moving where??), difficult decisions when they were needed.
We gave up good, but ended up with great. In life I’ve learned that’s what’s often needed.
Give up good to take a chance on getting to great.
I wish nothing but the same for all of you.

If the Fed does not contain the regional bank collapse, there will be another great depression.
Small/medium banks account for 50% of US commercial and industrial lending, 60% of residential real estate lending, 80% of commercial real estate lending, and 45% of consumer lending
