Mark Cuban gets emotional explaining why being called dad means so much to him “I can still tell you with absolute certainty that my favorite word in the world is dad” “As you get older, you start to recognize your mortality” “With my parents being gone, I have their pictures in my closet and I say hi to them every morning and every night” “I want my kids to be the same way after I'm gone. I want them to be proud of me. I want them to remember me positively as much as possible”

Mark Cuban explains why becoming rich won't make you happy if you were miserable when you were poor “If you're miserable when you're poor, good chance you're going to be miserable when you're rich” “Money can't change who you are. Money can't change your approach to life” “Money can't change how you feel about yourself. It really won't” “I like being rich a whole lot more than I like being broke but I really take pride in the fact that I still have the same friends” “My high school buddies are still my high school buddies. I'm still close to my brothers. I'm still close to my rugby teammates. I'm still close to the same people that always have meant something to me”

Mando explains why he thinks traders should avoid trading on Fridays “Often I think it's like the Friday afternoon into Saturday period is just horrific. You have huge wicky moves. People don't want to hold anything into the weekend” “Then Saturday you get tons of fakeouts and only really Sunday after futures open do you get some sort of normality” “You can just turn off the computer really on a Friday” “I think there's a lot of fake price action essentially or price action that isn't really useful to you”

Threadguy can't believe how much money Kimchi has after realizing $400,000 is only a Kimcent “That's 0.01 Kimchi? Man a Kimchi is a monster unit. That is an unfathomable unit of measurement” “$400K is a Kimcent is just hard to even process what that means exactly”

Threadguy shares Kyle Soska’s theory on why Anthropic could see a massive rally when it goes public “Circle IPOed at a time where the only thing anyone was talking about in crypto was stablecoins” “It had really nothing to do with Circle being some incredible business that you have to own with insane financials and it had everything to do with. If you're a fund manager, you need some exposure to stablecoins and it's the only way to get it” “As it relates to Anthropic, why is it relevant with Circle? Well, it's relevant because it's the only pure way to long AI” “Anthropic is purely frontier AI on the bleeding edge. That's it” “There's a lot of money that is thematically saying we need to be as direct long AI as humanly possible”

Mark Cuban believes we're in a market bubble saying everything from Bitcoin to Apple and Google is being traded like meme stocks “I think we're in a bubble but not the same as the internet bubble back in 2001” “I think what's different now is everything's a meme stock. Bitcoin is a meme stock. Micron, Google, Apple, they're meme stocks” “A company might miss earnings by a penny or only beat by a penny and their stock will be down 18%” “The intrinsic value of that company hasn't changed 18%. It's just that buyers and sellers move in and move out very quickly” “We're trading them like baseball cards. There's no intrinsic value to this card. It's just perceived value and what do you think somebody else will pay for it. I think we're in a bubble for that very reason” “What causes it to burst? I have no idea”

Mark Cuban shares his advice for people stuck working a 9 to 5 job and living paycheck to paycheck “Don't go get the best job because that's the hardest to find. Don't get the perfect job because those are hard to find. Just get a job” “When you have a job, just work to be really good at it” “You have to be brutally honest with yourself because nobody looks at the job they're doing and says, ‘I suck.’ They're like, ‘Oh, I'm great at this’” “When you're really good at something, that's when doors do open up” “Even in the worst possible job, you could be working at a McDonald's, at a Dairy Queen but there's a path” “The fact that you can show a future employer that you moved up the line and then when they asked for a reference, they said, ‘Steven was incredibly valuable. We're really sorry that he's leaving. We tried to keep him.’ That's what you need” “That can happen in 2-3 years. It's just most people don't want to think like that”

Mark Cuban reveals why he left Shark Tank and sold the Dallas Mavericks “When you start feeling your own mortality and you start recognizing what's important, my kids, my family, that next business trip didn't seem nearly as important as it used to” “Missing a birthday and telling myself, well, I'll be there for the next one, became a mistake” “I was just like what's the point of doing this?” “They were 13, 16 and 19 when I sold the Mavs and a little bit older when I got out of Shark Tank” “It wasn't going to be all that long till they were on their own and I just wanted to be there as much as I could”
