The phrases "milk us", "we want you to get paid" etc. All marketing bullshit, frankly not a single firm wants you to get paid. Just like a casino, if you do get paid, they will milk you for content instead, that's it.

Without good retention strategies and steady sales, no business is sustainable. Core product gets people through the door, the after care / service keeps them interested.

Regarding the democratic win in the US, people voted mostly out of spite for Trumps dumb actions. Whether it's starting a random war, introducing tariffs without an actual legal thought behind it, pissing off your competition, "scamming" millions of people from the meme coin release and more. I'll be honest though, it backs my point now more than ever that political violence will become the new norm, more fringe communities will be born both on the left and on the right, and I think there will be even more wars (potential civil wars) in countries were migration was extremely profound. This is due to certain cultures simply not being compatible with others... All you need to look at is a history, throughout the ages, there was either assimilation / adaptation or war. No inbetween.

UK, Japan, Germany - All preparing and asking people to stockpile food in case of a disaster... Do with that information what you will. There was a private jet from Dubai to Russia that turned off their tracking radar on take off. Last time this happened it was February... We will have perpetual wars in Middle East and Europe.

Weak times, create weak men which in turn creates a vacuum for power hungry warlords, corrupted morally individuals who will streer the world into complete destabilisation for decades ahead. Whatever you see on the news whether its on left wing or right wing propaganda know that most of the reporting is heavily controlled to paint a narrative. Poland may very well become the next victim of this bullshit. Wouldn't surprise me if we see some controlled rioting and looting and blame being shifted from left wingers to right wingers, whilst a few individuals make billions on the side.

Can you cunts please do not message me for affiliate deals. Most of you perp props will be in prison if the fallout starts to happen, and it will soon. Especially the non KYC ones. Happily moved on with the prop world. Thanks.

I'm moving away from the prop world indefinitely. I've been pretty much obsessed with this industry for years. I've spent 15–16 hour days sitting in front of a laptop building, analysing, testing and rebuilding. I've now completed the work and commitments I set out to do with the firms I've worked with recently, and I'm genuinely happy with the results. I think I've got to the point where there are more important things in life than spending every waking hour doing this. I've purged the account, but I'll leave the articles here for anyone who still wants to read them. One last thing: The Playground. A huge amount of what I've learned and built over the years distilled into one product. Systems I haven't shared with any firm, built into an interactive environment, including my newest modelling engine for Futures and CFDs. I'm open to placing it with one firm only, particularly a firm that can actually implement some or all of it. If you're genuinely interested, DM me. Time for something else.

I see a lot of this reasoning on why Vest is so trusted and has 0 chance of going down, however that is very far from the truth. Here is what Vest's backing actually means: Jane Street wrote a small seed check. Vest's March 2025 seed was $5M total, split among five named investors including Jane Street. Whatever Jane Street put in is a fraction of that, and tiny for a firm that made a record $39.6B in trading revenue in 2025. It's an early bet on a startup, not a promise to stand behind the product. Coinbase Ventures is not Coinbase. It's a venture arm that has made 600+ investments across 420+ companies, typically at $500K to $10M a check. The seed announcement doesn't even name Coinbase. Being on a cap table doesn't mean anyone will backstop your funds. FTX had 60+ investors, including Sequoia, SoftBank, Paradigm, Thoma Bravo and Coinbase Ventures, and went to zero. Terra was also backed by Coinbase Ventures. Investors hold equity, not your deposits, and they get fooled or lose money all the time. What they funded isn't what you may be using. The seed was for a risk engine and a perp exchange, not a prop firm. Vest was a dying DeFi exchange before the prop program, which came later and is issued by a Panama corporation (Vest Exchange Inc.). The seed was for a risk engine and a perp exchange, not a prop firm. That exchange was already dying before the prop program: TVL fell from a high of about $31M in October 2025 to roughly $188K now, a drop of over 99%, and last month's web traffic was little to none. My assessment is that this prop push was a last-ditch effort to save a dying product. They claim all these trades are A-book, which could not possibly be true and of course it isn't verifiable since its all on their own exchange.
Gonna be hard to rug the firm when you’re literally backed by @coinbase and @JaneStreetGroup @VestExchange

Whether it's Prime in CFDs or Offboarding in Futures, when you move traders to live or onboard them into a programme to stop them from bleeding your cash flow, there are ways to provide incentives that are outside your typical monetary value which can actually be net positive to the trader. Alternatively, you can keep them in Sim, but make sure both parties are in a symbiotic relationship not in a parasitic one, both parties can thrive without neither getting absolutely railed.
