Im really enjoying the new SOL token $crypto trading features on the OCCAM Autotrader, including delayed Stop Losses, Break-even logic, etc. - @useOccam What I didn’t appreciate initially is that its not so much finding the good meme coins to buy, as it is the ability to get out of a trade …. profitably Here are three concrete examples; in the *first*, even though the token entry for $DODO was not great, and it died quickly, the OCCAM logic saved me a part (1/3) of my investment, which is critical – you don’t want to lost your whole stake on a bad trade. In the *second*, you see the benefit of the new delayed stop loss logic – in any normal trading system the protection is armed when the trade is made. This is nice to protect your stake, but the unfortunate side effect is that the volatility in the better coins wipes you out before you get to that 5/10x you want IOW, the protection is useful, but it prematurely aborts some of your winners because the price often dips quite a bit as I've discovered experimentally. For example, in the case of $REMUS, that green candle to the right of my buy wicked way below my buy-in, and would have stopped me out. The OCCAM trading engine lets you DELAY the activation of the Stop Loss, so you can weather the volatility and ride the price up where you can see I cashed out 5 times at different levels. The *third* token trade for $CASHTOAD is probably the most amazing. This is a complete dud coin that would otherwise result in a loss anywhere else. But, again, the TP and SL logic is fast enough that even what is inevitably a loser can be eked out for a small gain. This is extremely unique and useful - a winning trade in less than 10 minutes. All in all, you can see that OCCAM maximizes getting the high paying tokens to fruition while mitigating losses on the bad tokens. I have never seen anything like this platform – I know and played extensively with predecessor projects, like Prophet, that were pioneering but they never achieved this level of profitability. Again, I’m just dabbling with it right now, no serious money… YET, but I really like what I see. If you like this kind of thing, do yourself a favor and check it out - get some tokens while its cheap, and before they institute gate keeping functions on the cooler features. Full disclosure, I bought a bunch recently because I think its proven itself now.

Awesome one of a kind crypto project
This will change the game, been seeing some wild things behind the scenes in building this There WILL be $OCCAM requirements for certain important aspects here Detail dump tomorrow on exactly what is included

BOSTON??? NOOO
Kucherov? Carolina, Utah or Boston would be my bet. I'll bet Boston gets him. But why is he pushing for a trade now? Makes little sense, given he's on a good team.

"But but its DIGITAL money! so much safer than fiat in banks!" in 50 years of electronic banking in the US no one has every successfully heisted even a fraction of this some of you, and you know who you are, need to reconsider your distribution of assets
Holy shit this is a full onchain movie Binance was fighting back in real time

funny thing is, people living and working in a building don't care what it looks like on the outside, it never even enters their consciousness they only care about how comfortable and conductive to productivity it is on the inside
I visited Wurster Hall at UC Berkeley today. It was designed by, and currently houses, the architecture faculty. The UC Berkeley website notes that "Wurster is often voted Berkeley's ugliest building." I visited because I was curious about whether it would in person seem as unattractive as it does in photos. And, in short: it does. It's gaunt, austere, and filmed in grime. On an elysian campus, it stands out for its bleak hostility. It reminds me of the German submarine base in Bordeaux. The UC Berkeley page agrees that it was never designed to be attractive, quoting the curator of their design archives: “Wurster and his handpicked architects didn’t want anything romantic, or sentimental — they hated the idea of ‘making pretty buildings. They wanted a serious building.” I guess we have to concede success relative to their stated goals, but it does make one wonder what it all says about architecture as a discipline.

"Men never learn" True, they should learn to be better lie detectors of unfaithful spouses
Another beautiful family ruined by a DNA test. This is the exact reason why some things are better left alone,the kids are the ones who pay the ultimate price. Men never learn yooooh 🤦🏾‍♀️

Another significant reason why $KAS - KASPA's super fast ms level block time is such a benefit all around; unlike $BTC - where the transaction hangs around so long you can time it with a calendar and leave the public key exposed - it will be nigh impossible for an attacker to break it in that time on KAS even using a quantum computer

Grok says: "This advance reduces the physical qubit requirements by about 25% in recent quantum attack proposals from IonQ, Oratomic, and Google Quantum AI, accelerating feasibility assessments for breaking elliptic curve cryptography" oops
Breakthrough results on ecdsa.fail from @jieyilong , 893 qubits x 2.2M Toffolis. Google's best result in March was 1175 qubits x 2.7M Toffolis. This shaves down the required number of physical qubits of recent proposals of @IonQ_Inc , @TeamOratomic and @GoogleQuantumAI by 25%!

You know who rarely if ever gets hacked and has insurance if they lose your money?! BANKS and other custodians The “self custody forever” crowd is a giant goldmine for thieves
Unfortunately that is true ! I purchased directly from Ledger in Feb. of 2019. 24 words are in my vault only. Sept. 27th of this year mine was drained at 6:41 pm CST in 2 minutes of 480,000 XRP and 130,052 of XLM. I filed with the FBI the IC3 form and my Sheriff dept. All Gone!

What you have to really ask is whether she really did any more damage than the deranged woke propagandists normally tasked with indoctrinating our children daily
Wisconsin woman pretends to be a school teacher just so she could call the kids fat and separate them by race. 23-year-old Amy Jones was reportedly "bored," so she walked into Rufus King High School and told staff she was a substitute. The school believed her and assigned her to a class. Jones then walked into the classroom and separated the kids by race. She then singled out multiple students, calling one a future hooker, another fat, and said some of the students looked like they were the type of people who had incest. Jones faces 20 years in prison. She says she did the stunt because she was bored and "hates kids and just wanted to mess around." Diabolical.

KCC-20 at Last Call = Kaspa's ERC-20 moment. ERC-20 wasn't glamorous when it shipped in 2015, but it's the standard that unlocked every token, wallet, DEX, and DeFi protocol built on Ethereum since. A trillion-dollar ecosystem rests on six interface functions. KCC-20 brings that same compositional unlock to Kaspa — the plumbing that lets stablecoins, RWA, and payments actually interoperate. We can finally start making commerce easy.
🚨 KASPA KCC-20: THE FOUNDATION FOR NATIVE ASSETS IS TAKING SHAPE! 🚀 Kaspa isn't just building tokens. It's building the common standard for an entire financial ecosystem. ✅ Native token issuance & transfers ✅ Covenant-enforced ownership & supply rules ✅ Shared standards for wallets, DEXs & applications ✅ Reference implementation merged ✅ KCC-20 officially enters LAST CALL! This is bigger than launching another token. It's about enabling developers to build financial applications, stablecoins, tokenized real-world assets, and more on a shared Layer 1 foundation. No hype required. Just open standards, working code, and real engineering. ⚡ One standard. Thousands of possibilities. One Kaspa. The infrastructure is taking shape. Real adoption comes next. $KAS #Kaspa #KCC20 #BlockDAG #RWA #DeFi

Europe is finished when killing someone is referred to as "simple violence" only meriting a light punishment
BREAKING: The Congolese migrant who beat the Swedish off-duty policeman Christian Zedig to death in a FIFA World Cup fan zone in Copenhagen was sentenced to 1 year. The judge also banned Nkumba Tshiembe from going to bars, restaurants, nightclubs and other places where alcohol is served after midnight for a year after his release from prison. The Congolese migrant is a repeat offender who has previously been sentenced for raping a woman, stabbing a man right next to the heart in a nightclub and several random assaults in public. The short sentence has caused outrage in Denmark and people are now calling for the law on “simple violence” to be amended so that longer sentences can be issued.

Ok, let's be real: what legitimate licensed bar is going to admit that they served a.... 20 year old?
🇺🇸 The Cornell “Jane Doe” story just got another pretty significant twist. Moonies Bar, which Jane Doe is suing for allegedly serving her alcohol while visibly intoxicated, says it didn't serve her alcohol at all. She was 20 at the time. That also lines up with fraternity member Matthew Ingalls' account that she told him she was sober before arriving at the fraternity house, something she disputed in a recorded call. Every new detail in this case seems to raise more questions about the original story. So what actually happened? Source: TMZ / Writer: Lynn

SOMEWHERE IN AN ER NEAR YOU (machines pinging) "honey, can you hear me? This is your wife... I know were in a bad accident and you're in a medicated coma but I REALLY need those 4 missing seed phrase words or the kids don't go to college!"
i've been thinking about throwing away 4 of my seed words. i don't mean splitting the phrase and hiding them somewhere else. i mean they literally wouldn't exist anywhere anymore. it might sound like a dumb idea on the surface but I think it could make cold storage bitcoin a bit safer. if someone finds my seed phrase, they'd have a really hard time doing anything with it and i can still get my coins back if i need to. you would just brute force the missing seed words. 1 or 2 words is quick on a normal computer but every extra missing word makes it about 2048 times harder. so you pick a number of words to destroy where you can still get them back with a local gpu or some rented cloud gpus but it's a real pain for anyone else. you would stamp out all but 4 of the words on washers, put them in a tamper evident case, and have a brute force setup ready to go just in case. now say someone breaks in and finds it. most thieves have no idea you can brute force missing words. they would see an unfinished phrase and think they only got part of your seed. maybe they tear the house apart looking for the rest. maybe they give up. even if they do know what to do, it takes them time. as soon as I see the case has been messed with, i'm moving my coins and i've got a big head start. compare that to a normal backup without any missing words. anyone who finds it can type it into a wallet app on their phone and clean you out in 5 minutes. and if gpus get fast enough that it's too easy, just toss one more washer out to make it hard again. i've never heard of anyone doing (or talking about) this. has anyone? let me know why it's a bad idea.

“Dads now in jail for tax evasion - didn’t pay capital gains on that giant sale price”
Dad had a house worth $1.1M He sold it He put $1.1M into Treasuries at 5.1% $56K a year covers his rent $1.1M is still there Renting is no longer throwing money away Owning a house is now a losing trade

Im puzzled: are children immune from arrest or prosecution if they commit crimes? what law is that?
My God we’re arresting children now
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 15yo child in question assaulted a woman with a makeshift flamethrower, as the quoted tweet shows. This is a crime, therefore an arrest is warranted regardless of the age of the assailant. x.com/DailyMail/stat… legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/section_…

"if the investment doesn't include a secret handshake that only smart people like me can figure out then I don't want in" Bitcoiners are a special breed ... of stupid, reinforced by the weird rules they invent to convince themselves the cult is somehow magic
I spent thousands of hours studying bitcoin Don't tell me i'm taking too much risk by being concentrated in one asset Especially if you can't even explain what the difficulty adjustment is?
