They stopped pretending cuz dems arent running DC. But CNBC has always, always, been a propaganda network for the wealthy. Even their more tame stuff like "cnbc makeit" where they try to show how americans can make it by just working hard - is full of lies and numbers that dont add up and facts left out like "oh yeah I dont pay rent cuz my dad gave me a house"

Dan says this is a play not only on the significantly undervalued WLD coin by Sam Altman Open AI but also a merge of crypto/wall street and AI. It’s human verification ORBS is ramping up across the world. They will be using a model similar to BMNR and accumulate WLD and ETH. Good luck! No options yet! ORBS Rate cut today!

I've even walked around DC at NIGHT, stoned off my ass. No one bothered me at all. It's almost like our president is LYING.

I'm too lazy to make an analysis post on this so I'll just tell you here as this play may pertain to incorrect risk pricing. I want your take on it. Beijing is 12 hours ahead of Washington DC. This Friday Trump will be speaking with Xi about the fate of TikTok in America. Most believe this is the end result of months of deal making leading up to allowing TikTok to operate in full in America. The news likely comes either very early in the morning (before the bell) or after close. When TikTok is given the green light to proceed, what happens to META and SNAP? Is this risk priced in META (diversified beyond instagram) and SNAP (already circling the drain, imo).

Vegetable-Recording

I know! I've been saying the same. I live in the DC area, and houses have went from $700k in 2019 or so to $1.2M+. It's just crazy! I wonder when people will start to feel tariffs/care about them. F'ing cereal is almost $5+ for some Wheaties. It's just wild.

Probate has nothing to do with a joint account where the other is living. Just give DC and probably an affidavit of domicile. Then they will either retitle to just your mom or move into an account with just your mom. Whatever the process is, don’t interrupt it. Let them transition however they need to. This is not an instant process anywhere. Then make a vanguard account for your mom. Provide them the EJ statement, and they can pull assets in kind. There are no contracts. Do what your mom wants. But you being executor changes nothing on a joint account. There is a living authorized party. They will want instruction from her.

Illegal immigrants are being deported, a promise he made. I do not agree with some of the ways they are being arrested. Not sure what masks and unmarked vehicles have to do with anything. I see people in public wearing masks and we have had unmarked police vehicles for decades. He deployed troops in DC where he resides because crime is an issue and just sent troops to TN as per request by the governor. Trump campaigned on being tough on crime so no shocker here. Cleaning up crime is a good thing and if you’re afraid of a National Guards member holding a rifle then you are either brainwashed or just a scared person. As far as marijuana arrests made I’m not educated on that but I would assume it was smoking in public or an accessory charge to another charge.

Zestyprotein

> The job losses are from tariffs, which rate cuts won’t help. And from AI. And Fed layoffs. We're looking at 300,000 federal jobs gone,which is the largest loss of federal workers since the demobilization after WW II. That doesn't even count all the related DC jobs that including consulting, and companies with contracts defunded, etc, which are probably another 300,000 by year end.

theartofbeingdumb

This administration is literally disappearing people off the streets using armed men in unmarked vehicles wearing masks. The president has openly stated he is going to wield the full power of the federal government against his political opponents. He has deployed troops into American cities and is threatening others. They arrested and charged multiple people with low level marijuana crimes during this DC deployment. This is just a handful of things and there is a lot more. These are real things that are happening in our nation and I appreciate that you are optimistic but to call factual reporting on the actions of this administration 'fear mongering' a day after the president went on TV to tell Americans that he is using the Charlie Kirk murder as a pretext to investigate and go after everyone he sees fit on the left... Well, you sir, just have your head in the sand.

NunButter

Exactly. They have just been waiting for an excuse. Why do you think they are sending Guard troops to certain cities? In DC to prevent protests when they do something fucked up. They are literally reading straight out of the Nazi playbook. Its terrifying

What If White democrats family members were getting klld at the rate Black folks lose family to thg violence, those White democrats would have the whole US military to end it! Muriel Bowser DC Mayor just 2 years ago, asked Congress for National Guard to help bring down crime in DC, Trump has delivered! Last week Muriel Bowser thanked President Trump citing 87% reduction in car jackings!! Washington DC our nations capitol had over 100 murders so far this year, 20 minors, ALL Black. White Democrats fought against ending slavery. White Democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 I am seeing a pattern. Before you give the standard democrat defense they switched parties.., In 2025!!!! Democrat states defending their gun permit schemes in court literally cite Jim Crow laws as a basis for their permit schemes!

DB plans were still popular into the early 2000s though and they didn’t have any insight into how the market would perform like we do. In aggregate they’d be invested in a diversified mix based on the population of employees being invested for. When DC plans overtook DB plans, some investors were likely more aggressive than the DB plan and some less aggressive so I’d imagine the overall allocation in aggregate didn’t change a whole lot. Even so, most 401k investors don’t know the details of how they’re invested and are likely just passive investors unlikely to love the market. I understand the sentiment but don’t think this will have any affect on keeping the US market propped up and outperforming consistently into the future.

The unpredictability of Musk is somewhat reigned in my the new package (citing less political involvement), mega packs for AI DC growth (outside of their own AI) and Robotaxi obtaining traction in the US and soon Australia. Institutional and firm investors are coming back to a more long position. What retail traders do on Tesla matters little. Follow the money.

Not a fair comparison. Data centers are just large rooms with power delivery, structured cabling, and air conditioning. It might not be as efficient, but data centers from 25 years ago still turn profits. There have been improvements, but unless you are pushing extreme density (7kw+ per cabinet,which is a lot), old DC’s hold up fine for the majority of companies. Even for the “ai” customers. Just means you don’t use all the space. The PUE numbers might not be as good, but if the facility is paid for, let it print money. They can retrofit CRAC’s for for direct equipment chilling, allowing you to push those per cabinet KW’s way higher. You’ll run into the limitations air cooling. If you got the power to sell, it’s just down to cooling.

WickedSensitiveCrew

You basically saying a few of the talking points the [WBD CEO said after losing NBA](https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/articles/2025/3/warner-bros-discovery-ceo-sees-nba-rights-loss-paving-the-way-for-growth-87871988). It was better to invest in DC, Harry Potter, etc IPs. Since you are just renting sports rights. While they own those IPs completly. I think due to WBD having negative sentiment at the time those comments were dismissed as cope for losing the NBA as opposed to giving good guidance that the NBA money could be used to invest in the IPs they own.

Rosebunse

That's sort of my thing. Politics and ethics aside, it's too large. And while there is obvious synergy here, I don't really think there is as much as what is needed. And some of this isn't really their fault. I mean, you can't blame the Ellisons for the issues with Game of Thrones, though if they could force GRRM to finish the series that would be fine. You can sort of blame them for Harry Potter but then the long wait between seasons isn't really their fault. I don't know how they will work with DC and frankly, making CNN another conservative mouthpiece isn't going to help with ratings. Frankly, I think they are going to run into some of the issues Disney has had.

He fired all the people who would stand up to him and that's why troops are in DC raking leaves and picking up trash. Shameful! And I agree that this is a slap in the face to many people.

We’re getting word that Capitol police are responding to an ‘incident’ at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington DC. Various media outlets shared a screenshot of the email from the Senate Operations Center which said that there is police activity in the area. There have been no further details about the incident itself. We’ll bring you the latest lines as we get them.

Long term still bullish as hell, but VIX is pretty low right now while DC has the potential for a heavy handed response to today’s events. I simply don’t know what choice people in power will make, but I think there’s enough chance to disrupt business that VIX calls a month or so out could do alright.

Honestly we could write a new book called “All The Presidents Men v2” with all The grift going on in Washington DC and this administration . It is just disgusting. And laws??

I don't condone any political violence. I think the reason for the disparity in coverage is because they were state legislators, not members of Congress in DC. Kirk was a national figure who probably had an audience of millions, whereas one of the state legislators won office with 22,000 total votes.

I don't think they're lying, I just wonder what the terms are. Like, are their iron clad contracts, or just "hey, we'll buy $100B of GPUs... if you have em... maybe... depending on if we have them beforehand and don't need them anymore!" We already know the capex of the Mag 7, but it's not clear why they would buy from Oracle. Meta is building a DC the size of Manhattan. They're all building DCs.

Here is a recent email sent out by a WMT maintenance employee in relation to automation (symbotic). this email was scrubbed from wmt servers. DC 6025: A Toxic Culture, a Broken Chain of Command, and My Final Message To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as my formal resignation from my position at Walmart DC 6025, effective August 31, 2025. Let me be clear: this is not about a better offer, a bad day, or a personal issue. It’s about walking away from a system that has become actively harmful — one defined by dysfunction, hypocrisy, and a complete absence of accountability. My departure is not a career move; it’s a final act of honesty in a place that punishes truth and rewards mediocrity. Since I am not given the opportunity for an exit interview, let this letter serve as my final attempt to spark the change this building desperately needs. The Culture Is Toxic — and It Starts at the Top This building is no longer a professional workplace. It is a machine that rewards favoritism, covers up incompetence, and systematically undermines the very people who keep it running. I’ve watched underqualified and untrained individuals walk into skilled roles based on who they know — not what they know. One MST didn’t even know how to use a multimeter and has since caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Still employed. Still protected. I’ve watched employees lie about doing PMs, get caught on camera, and face no consequences. No write-ups. No retraining. Just silence. I watched another associate nearly blow himself up due to gross negligence — and somehow, he still works here. Certain associates continue to be shielded despite repeated incompetence. Jason Miller, my Operations Manager, exemplifies everything wrong with leadership here. He has: Appeared intoxicated on multiple Teams meetings, slurring his words, harassing Symbotic engineers, and threatening contractors — in front of witnesses. Blatantly played favorites, treating certain subordinates with care and shielding them from any criticism or accountability, while throwing others under the bus at the first opportunity. Admitted to not reading emails sent to him — and frequently responds with AI-generated replies that he doesn’t even bother to proofread. Cherry-picked candidates for roles and interviews, overlooking qualified, experienced individuals while giving opportunities to people clearly unfit for the job — often out of spite, seemingly to punish those he personally dislikes. Created division on the floor by making it clear that politics, not performance, determine advancement. He is not just disengaged — he is actively damaging morale, sabotaging professional development, and reinforcing a culture of mistrust and dysfunction. And despite all this, he continues in his role unchallenged. These are not rumors. These are facts. Documented, repeated incidents that management has chosen to ignore. And all the while, those of us who show up, care, and carry the weight are expected to keep doing so without recognition, without support, and often while training people who earn more than we do. We’re overworked and under-resourced — while management claps at meetings about 50-cent raises that don’t even keep up with inflation. Leadership by Appearance, Not Action Upper management has become so disconnected from reality that they can’t even show up for general meetings. When we gathered to hear about our “raise,” the GM was in the building but couldn’t be bothered to stay an extra 30 minutes to speak in person. Instead, we got applause from leadership and silence from the floor. That silence wasn’t accidental — it was earned. Meanwhile, money is spent on floor polish that lasted less than a month and made equipment unsafe, windows that increased internal building temperatures, and a back-dock “general meeting area” that was never used — all to put on a show for corporate visits. But when it comes to investing in associates? We’re told to ration electrolyte packets. We’re continuously short on parts to keep the place running. We’re told to make do. Contrary to what our GM likes to say, we’re not running a farm. We’re running a multi-million-dollar facility. And the people keeping it afloat are being lied to, dismissed, and slowly ground down. Even outside this facility, the dishonesty continues. At a college career fair, our company reps handed out flyers claiming that Walmart pays for schooling — conveniently omitting that it doesn’t apply to the school hosting the event. When I confronted them, their tone changed. Because the truth didn’t support the narrative. That same person, who was lying to prospective employees, just got promoted to an AGM position. That only furthers my point: there is something deeply wrong here. Grassroots in Name Only The so-called “grassroots” meetings — meant to hear associate feedback — were abandoned within months. I attended many of them. I saw the facilitators checking their phones, rushing through conversations, and making empty promises. The truth? They weren’t listening — they were performing. Just another box to check. Even with the few recent meetings, I’ve been left out for speaking up. The meetings were consistently scheduled during times when I was not in the building. To the Few Good Ones To the handful of coaches and ops who still try to lead with integrity: this letter is not directed at you. You’ve tried to hold the line. But you’ve been outnumbered, outpaced, and overshadowed by a leadership structure that values optics over outcomes and loyalty over competence. This Place Doesn’t Need Another Wake-Up Call I stayed longer than I should have. I gave more patience than this place deserved. I hoped for change — that someone, somewhere, would finally do the right thing. That hope is gone. There’s no accountability here. No transparency. No honest leadership. Just a culture of cover-ups, favoritism, and performative management. Even complaints sent to the ethics department are met with silence and no reply. I will complete any remaining responsibilities with professionalism — not because this company deserves it, but because I still hold myself to a higher standard than those who run it. Don’t insult my intelligence with a hollow “we’re sorry to see you go.” You’re not. You’ll fill the gap with another unqualified yes-man, and the cycle will continue — until enough people walk out or speak up. Consider this both. Sincerely, Andrew Wagner,

There are many negatives with this system; it's ridiculous. Firstly, you won't reach 20 miles a day in full sun. You might get seven, eight, or nine miles at most under perfect summer conditions in an ideal location if you park with the sun. In winter, you might see four or five miles if you're in a good location. But, the reality is that you might not get anything. You'll only lose mileage with this device. The problem is that while it's charging, the sentry mode is on continuously, somewhat discharging your battery when charging. Tesla's Sentry Mode uses roughly 180 to 300 watts. The wind drag is significant on this model, adding about 20-30% more total drag. However, it's not a 20-30% decrease in mileage because wind drag is not the only factor. You're adding about 70 pounds of high-end roof weight above the roof line, which is the worst spot for gravity as it makes the car more top-heavy on turns. The rack limits you to a maximum of 100 miles per hour. No matter your car's top speed, you will never reach it. They have designed the most absurd concept I've ever seen. The solar panels are at three distinct angles, so you'll never have full sunlight on them. Some panels will always be facing away from the sun, meaning you won't get full wattage—not even close. No matter your efforts, you'll never achieve full wattage for the panels as most are not directly facing the sun due to the three different angles. I've done plenty of calculations. You will lose mileage. Whether you drive around or go on a 200- or 300-mile trip, you'll probably lose 15-25 miles of range with this panel. The system they are using is the most ridiculous charging system ever. First, the system takes the energy and stores it in a separate battery using an MPPT solar controller. There are losses at this point. Then, you have to transfer the stored energy from the secondary battery system with a step-up inverter that pushes the energy into the charger port, which plugs into the side of your car. That's another 20% loss on top of the previous losses. Your system experiences at least a 30% energy loss just trying to charge the main battery. On top of this, you lose 180 to 300 watts continuously while charging because the sentry mode must be on if you want theft protection for your $6000 solar panels laid on the top of your entire EV in plain sight. You're likely to get 6-9 miles at most on a sunny summer day if you're parked all day and not driving. The claim of 1100 watts peak is 100% false. You can't get 1100 watts when most of the panels are not angled correctly towards the sun as they are pointing in three directions. At best, you might get 700-800 watts, but then you lose the 180-300 watts to sentry mode and not to overlook the 30% losses from the dual battery charging system. Charging a Tesla with 120V, is very inefficient compared to using 240 volts. 120-volt charging is about 85% efficient and 240-volt charging is around 90-95% efficient. That's just how the Tesla Charger inverter board works. It's called the "onboard charger," "DC inverter," or "converter module" when you stack the MPPT controller losses, the charging circuitry into the first battery. After stepping up the voltage again and pushing it through another charger to charge the main battery, you're going to have about a 30% total charging loss excluding the sentry mode losses. You will lose mileage with this system since the added wind drag is greater than the energy you could collect from the sun. If this were a streamlined, thin panel permanent system that wasn't aerodynamically messy, the story would be different. There's no need to mention theft or its $6,000 cost and mileage loss. It's just a joke; it's ridiculous. I'm not against solar- I have solar panels at my house. I love solar. However, this is a joke.

It's nice that you're attempting to be realistic but there's some big flaws in your take here: 1) The DEA head excluded cannabis from their list of enforcement priorities that came out several months ago. This same DEA head was tasked with leading the "crime cleanup" initiative in Washington DC. All cannabis-related efforts that we've seen so far from the DEA and DOJ are against illegal chinese growers and farms using illegal workers for labor, not against legal regulated businesses. 2) Yes, most Americans approve of being tough on crime, just like how most Americans approve of relaxing cannabis laws. I fully agree that as a populist-focused administration, the Trump admin considers public approval when making these decisions, but these are not in conflict with each other. It does not send mixed messages to be "tough on crime" while simultaneously working to reschedue cannabis so that it can be regulated and further taken out of the black market. 3) I don't know what you mean by the "bro" faction of MAGA... I don't see Mike Tyson or Roger Stone as being "MAGA bros" - Roger Stone was literally just in the oval office with Trump this weekend right after airing his podcast about how Trump should reschedule it. Furthermore, the core arguments pushed by the MAGA side on this issue have been how this is an 80/20 issue in terms of public support, how this benefits veterans and those seeking to use cannabis for medical use, how this hurts the cartels/black market and allows for more research. Everything here seems consistent with the above It's good to be critical but I think you may be missing the forest for the trees quite a bit here

As someone who is working in DC construction in europe, I can say this won't happen for the next 10 to 15 years. It took US firms 15 years to build the current infrastructure, EU can make all the announcements, but where is the infrastructure? Who is going to build DC costing billions of euros? It takes a minimum of 3 to 5 years to get a DC build after securing power and permits.

I suppose; I watched an hour or two of it in the background and it was a pretty focused on RFK doing a terrible job, or a great job, depending on what side of the political theater here was "asking" questions. I didn't hear much of any divergence from the core controversies premising the hearing. But of course it would have been nice for the question to be asked, and I wish it was too, but I wouldn't be dismayed that it wasn't. Now if they pull Terry Cole in to testify before a committee, probably focused around being deputized to run DC police, then I'd much more expect someone to ask about weed then.

He sent the National Guard into Washington DC to rake leaves and take photo ops. Notice there hasn’t been any news activity in DC regarding the National Guard . At the same time, Fox News is doing a 24 seven the Democratic cities are crime-ridden shit holes and need his help. Which is all one huge lie, of course.

Right now Chili's has a $10.99 deal for drink, appetizer, and entree...or you could spend roughly $13 to $15 for a double quarter pounder meal from McDonald's.  That's just one example, the prices for McDonald's are right near the edge of restaurant food if not already over it. They are not already cheaper by comparison.  >The problem is that they are not forced to advertise their actual price. The price on the menu is the price you pay + tax. What are you arguing is being withheld to you? Tipping in the vast majority of instances is not required and is a wholly voluntary transaction...that's not obfuscation.  >This tipping game has to stop, whoever brings it to an end. Lol, and again this is where you're myopic. McDonald's brings it to an end via government regulation while doing exactly nothing themselves to improve their business or offerings. Why is that somehow good that McDonald's is intentionally trying to dilute competition, increases the barriers of entry, and frankly be lazy?  There's no good in that - plus, servers by and large, don't want the tipping game to end. The servers in DC weren't exactly thrilled when their minimum wage was drastically increased and it caused them to lose their jobs.  So, no, it "doesn't have to end" as if it's some national emergency and McDonald's is going to save us. Ending tipping doesn't do much good, it causes restaurants to close & workers to lose their jobs. (Both of those are good for McDonalds by the way).

Is it even remotely possible the tariffs, AI advancement, federal agency layoffs and closures, etc. could cause some of it? Also, since DC and California have the highest rates of unemployment and most of the states with low unemployment are Republican, wouldn’t helping businesses hire more people by lowering borrowing rates help Democrats find meaningful work? I just get so confused so I am so glad you are trying to help. I appreciate you.

[expert here](https://i.imgur.com/rieNOMY.jpeg) Trust me when I say you can't necessarily make that comparison. The first 50 years of growth in aviation were nothing like the next 50 years. The first 50 saw a jump from the Wright brothers to biplanes to the first jets. The next 50, while initially we're about making things bigger and faster have in the last 20-30 years been almost entirely on the civil side about making things quiet and efficient. We're not at a point where we're growing by giant leaps and bounds in the industry anymore, going from DC-3s to jet liners. Much of it is incremental change by tweaking winglets and increasing engine bypass ratio.

Terrible analysis. All of them giving most of their chip money to Nvidia. Microsoft just announced delaying their custom chips (since they suck). Amazon losing cloud share due to their crappy internal chips. Nvidia slowdown due to stock growth being baked in + slight miss on DC revenue + uncertainty on China. Nonetheless they’ll get to $250 easily within 2 years, as soon as 2026. They will pump once first China sale is confirmed.

Mate, this is the most blatant political attack on a central bank to sack existing members to be replaced by cronies, so politicians can get their hands on the levers of interest rates. Regardless of where this has been done, left or right, it's never gone well. Furthermore, this is one of the most comically pathetic attempts at a political attack, as it's the most none nonsensical accusation, which makes no fucking sense, as Trump himself has multiple principal residences, with him famously using them to avoid NY state taxes. I would bet the vast majority of Congress have a primary residence and a principal one. One for their state/district and one in DC, respectively. The only demographic that should be on top of this should be politicians, and that just makes all this so much more of a joke.

> politics are creeping into the Fed The Fed has always been political. As have been the courts. Lefty Obama district count judges are going to rule again Trump every time even if they inevitably get reversed, unless something happens to them. I won’t hold my breath.  What we need is DC being less important, then we could live in peace. But that is never going to happen.

How about interviewing the victims, not Maxwell? Just a thought. Apparently it hasn't occurred to the Trump DOJ. After reportedly ranks of FBI "flagging" the files. Hmmmm. Haroom--Treebeard. Nothing to see here; move along. Crime in DC! National Guard! Nothing to see!

Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Sony definitely care about Roblox. They're huge money makers for their respective appstores. Hell, even when Epic Games tried throwing Roblox under the bus during their baffle with Apple, Apple defended Roblox. Google, Microsoft, and Sony collaborate with Roblox all the time (Even youtube changed the logo to Roblox recently). No one really gives a shit about Meta tho ill give you that one. If Visa/Mastercard want to upset them, they lose tremendous legitimacy and it also sets an awful precedent since it would be the first thing they block that isnt blatant porn. And like I said, regulation is already being developed to halt payment processors from blocking legal payments. Roblox being around 20 years still makes it harder to believe they will all of a sudden be bankrupt in a year or two. Don't get me wrong, the shares might dip after earnings due to underperformance or overhype, but tanking below 100 at this point is very wishful thinking. Roblox has had bad quarters and good quarters. Regardless of how you spin it, the free cash flow is still immense and whether its sustainable or not is up for the future to tell. Personally I think Roblox is just hiding their profitability right now to hype investors. "Burning money" in your words sounds a lot more like investing money into making the platform better to me. You also put a LOT of faith in parents actually banning their kids from using Roblox. The daily active users currently are still at an all time high compared to last year. And theres no more Covid excuse either. If you're hoping for politicians to intervene and regulate Roblox somehow, id just forget it. Roblox is on good terms at least in the U.S. and has been actively involved in promoting the Kids Online Safety Act. They clearly have plenty of connections in DC to benefit them. Podcasts shitting on Roblox would be interesting but I just don't see it doing any harm. Meta has been grilled by every dimension of "public sentiment" and is still fine. You underestimate just how annoying a child is that won't shut up about Roblox, most reasonable parents are just going to cave and let them use it, maybe with a litttle more awareness now. Also you call Roblox "not unique" yet its only competition right now is Fortnite. And currently Roblox's tools exceeds Fortnite in almost every conceivable way. Like I said, they've been building this platform for 20 years, its gonna be really hard to replicate that.

Chicago has about 200 more murders last year than any other US city. New York was the distant 2nd. How is that not the murder capital of the US? You can argue total vs rate but the orange man tweeted murders, not rate. Even at rate Chicago is comparable to DC which has had the crime ridden s hole rep for decades. St Louis though, holy cow their rate is about 3x that of Chicago or DC.

Did not think it would be this early but here’s my WYFI comment WYFI has massive potential. They’re a cloud provider and Colo provider, think as a mini NBIS or CRWV. Spun off from BTBT, they have data centers up and running Canada. Have cloud revenue that’s likely over $88m ARR. Colo deal that’s going to hit in January once one of their DC in Montreal is finished, tenant already lined up (Cerebras, look them up). Main upside is that they specialize in retrofitting buildings into DC instead of building them from scratch. It’s quicker too. They just bought a site this year in NC and are on plan that have it up and running in Q1 2026. They already have a LOI from a customer and they haven’t even finishing building it. That’s just for the 24MW. That DC can scale up to 200MW. MASSIVE potential. My other stock is DEFT. Canadian company that basically operations ETPs for crypto tokens. Basically like IBIT or ETH ETF or SOL ETF whatever but they mainly Operate in Europe. So you guys know how crypto is exploding, many are accepting, people want exposure to it etc?!?! Well they make it very easy and convenient to own it. They have I believe over 80 ETPs of crypto related products. Can own most token through their products. But the company makes money from managements fees, staking revenue, lending, etc. They have not had ONE month without net outflows, always growing. Crazy. Over a billion in AUM and they make a blended rate of like 7% of their AUM. That’s not all, this team is spinning out businesses like crazy. Last year they launched a business called DEFI Alpha - basically their arbitrage trading arm. Sometimes trades come up where they’re able to buy discounted tokens (one example is the FTX token payouts). Since most of the time they already own these tokens for their AUM, they’re able to replace, add, or hedge out risk etc. Another is stillman digital which generates trading commissions. Guiding for up to $12M on trading revenue from them. They bought it for about $5M in an all stock deal. Basically made their money back in a year. Hit me up if you guys want to know more

I work in DC and pass by the White House on my commute. This morning, just 10 min ago, I saw an ambulance with sirens on rushing away from the area. I can’t say for certain it was related to someone inside the White House, but given all the recent speculation, it definitely felt like a sign of the times. Not financial or 🍊 advice

💯.  The DC pizza index was crazy high, and they're moving the military around. Something is up.  ((And I don't think it's Schrödinger's 🥭))

Not sure. All I know is my cousin in the Navy got moved this weekend - not sure where The DC pizza index was crazy high And Whales seem to be rotating their money into gold/ defense stuff before the retail traders get up

I-IV-I64-V-I

I don't think it's that,  DC Pizza index was crazy high this weekend+ military is being moved around very very quickly. Whales know something. I'd bet on defense stocks and inflation if anything 

I-IV-I64-V-I

Courts did not block tariffs (yet)- they are just going to the supreme Court which will allow tariffs (( enough justices have already said as much)). Something else is moving the market. Whales are rotating/ or taking profits.  The DC pizza index was crazy this weekend ( but also, coulda just been Labor Day pizza for the FEDs).
