This is my weekly #threadcast for Dungeons and Dragons. I will be commenting about what's going on my ongoing D&D session. Feel free to discuss anything related to D&D whether or not it has to do with my session
do you play other tabletop rpg? I have two friends at hive who would probably join Leo if they could get a game going on it. I forget the name of the game they play but I’ll ask
ever hear of Chronicles of Darkness. I think that’s one that both play although there might be another one. Let’s see if I can bring them over. I’m not sure I can focus on it but I’ll try 😂
We found some magic items and now the mages of the group are trying to identify what they are. That means finding out what type of bonuses these items will grant
Oh we are donw one person today... forgot about that. The person who plays the missing person's twin sister in game will take over. That's not uncommon

1/3🧵. #Threadstorm
When life gives us taxes, turn them into deductions. There are numerous way to reduce tax burden. Still people are in favor of a uniform tax rate for eveey individual. There are many pros and cons, and might need to consider.
2/3🧵. People should understand that, the government needs funds for various public services it provides such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, social welfare programmes etc. Taxes are their actual source of income which further help in growth of the economy.

Happy Saturday #dripday! Got my weekly rewards for holding #bbh tokens!
Gotta love that weekly passive crypto income! Thank you @bradleyarrow and @bbhbot
Here is the daily technology #threadcast for 8/10/24. We aim to educate people about this crucial area along with providing information of what is taking place.
Drop all question, comments, and articles relating to #technology and the future. The goal is make it a technology center.
In a groundbreaking move that signals a new era in smartphone production, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has unveiled its state-of-the-art “dark factory” in Beijing. This fully automated manufacturing facility, capable of producing smartphones without human intervention, represents a significant leap forward in the integration of artificial intelligence, robotics, and advanced manufacturing techniques.
Thank you for telling me to read this news. I found it very interesting and it's incredible how advanced Xiaomi is in this project with the creation of new smartphones without human use.
That's what I thought about it too. There will be a lot of unemployment, because when these automations become quite common in the job market, I wonder what these people will do to support their families.
I may be wrong, but perhaps Musk already predicted this and he already mentioned something similar as a "social wage" because with machines taking up a large part of jobs, this may be necessary.
Tragedy has again struck a famous Silicon Valley family.
Tragedy has again struck a famous Silicon Valley family. Former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki just passed away, according to social media posts by her husband, Dennis Troper, and by Google CEO Sundar Pichai. She was 56.
Wrote Troper on Facebook earlier Friday night, “It is with profound sadness that I share the news of Susan Wojcicki passing. My beloved wife of 26 years and mother to our five children left us today after 2 years of living with non-small cell lung cancer.”

When digging into the data to determine how large the exodus everyone on Threads is talking about actually is, we oddly came up short.
Over on Threads, the talk of an X “exodus” is blowing up. Anecdotally, at least, people report seeing an influx of new users and other online friends leaving Elon Musk’s X to join Meta’s Threads, with some even deactivating their X account in the process. But while users’ timelines filled with this chatter and various hashtag trends — like “Xodus” and “TwitterExodus” — seemingly point to a massive shift in users from X to Threads over the past week, app store and website traffic data don’t yet reflect any significant changes between the two platforms.
Jon DiMaggio used sockpuppet accounts, then his own identity, to infiltrate LockBit and gain the trust of its alleged admin, Dmitry Khoroshev.
Earlier this year, an international coalition of law enforcement agencies took control of the dark web site of the notorious ransomware gang LockBit, replacing its content with the now-familiar message from the authorities: “This site is now under the control of law enforcement.” The operation didn’t disrupt the group’s operation for too long, with the gang launching a new site shortly after the takedown.
CrowdStrike tried to go back to business as usual at one of the world's largest annual cybersecurity conferences, weeks after its massive global IT crash.
On Wednesday morning, thousands of cybersecurity professionals swarmed the halls of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, the epicenter of the annual Black Hat cybersecurity conference, where dozens of companies were advertising their wares.
This is the second cyberattack targeting the school device management service Mobile Guardian this year.
A person claiming to be a student in Singapore publicly posted documentation showing lax security in a widely popular school mobile device management service called Mobile Guardian, weeks before a cyberattack on the company resulted in the mass-wiping of student devices and widespread disruption.
Need to remove nonconsensual deepfake porn results from Google Search? Here's how, using Google's built-in tools.
The internet is full of deepfakes — and most of them are nudes.
According to a report from Home Security Heroes, deepfake porn makes up 98% of all deepfake videos online. Thanks to easy-to-use and freely available generative AI tools, the number of deepfakes online — many of which aren’t consensual — skyrocketed 550% from 2019 to 2023.
There’s mounting evidence that GLP-1 drugs have health benefits beyond diabetes and weight loss, for conditions ranging from addiction to Parkinson’s—and scientists are evolving theories of why.
The media loves to stir up crap. #tesla only keeps getting stronger.
What did legacy auto do to drive away their customers. Inventory is up a great amount in the US, all on dealership lots. Hell Stellantis has over 150 days of inventory.
Many are opposing #technology but it is ironic, each day people keep feeding it. Unfortunately, they keep pushing more into Big Tech, something that might not be the most beneficial approach.
Point: Traditional diversification strategies are no longer effective.
Importance: Investors need to reconsider how they manage risk and build portfolios, potentially focusing more on macroeconomic factors and market cycles.
The Everything Code:
Point: GDP growth is driven by population growth, productivity growth, and debt growth.
Importance: Understanding these components helps predict economic growth and inform investment decisions.
Liquidity is increasing at 8% per year globally, which is the hurdle rate for all investments. With inflation, the hurdle rate is around 12%.
The two massive secular trends are cryptocurrency (e.g. Bitcoin) and the NASDAQ, which are both exponential trends based on adoption curves and capital flows.
The "magic formula" is that GDP growth equals population growth + productivity growth + debt growth. Slowing population and productivity growth is offset by increasing debt.
Debt ends up being monetized through currency debasement. Global liquidity follows an exponential trend like Bitcoin and NASDAQ.
Demographics explain economic trends - slowing birth rates and labor force participation drive the debt and liquidity cycle. Government debt is inversely correlated with labor force participation.
Central banks use liquidity injections to offset the demographic trends and allow governments to service debts through currency debasement. This drives asset prices higher.
The ISM Purchasing Managers Index follows a predictable 4-year cycle based on the debt maturity and liquidity injection schedule since 2008. This matches the presidential election and Bitcoin halving cycles.
The 4-year cycle can be broken down into annual "seasons" - spring, summer, fall, winter - based on liquidity injections and withdrawals. Asset prices follow these seasons.
Forecasting the ISM cycle and liquidity allows for forecasting of asset prices, especially for liquidity-driven assets like NASDAQ and crypto. Models suggest a potential peak in ISM in June 2025 and liquidity peak in Sept 2024.
The business cycle, measured by the ISM, is the key driver of asset prices across equities, commodities, credit, and crypto. Different assets have different lead/lag times to the ISM.
A framework of leading and lagging economic indicators can be used to track phases of the cycle.
The cycle can be broken into "four seasons" based on the growth and inflation mix: Spring (growth accelerating, inflation falling), Summer (growth and inflation accelerating), Fall (growth falling, inflation accelerating), and Winter (growth and inflation falling).
Each season favors different assets e.g. Spring favors tech/growth/crypto, Summer favors commodities and cyclicals. Late 2022 was the transition from Winter to Spring.
The current environment in mid-2024 is showing signs of moving from Spring to Summer, with a broadening of cyclical and commodity outperformance.
Crypto prices move in cycles around the 4-year halving cycle, with the next major peak expected in 2025 based on historical patterns.
The crypto market cap is expected to go from $2.5T today to $10-15T in this cycle, potentially $100T by 2030, based on a continuing exponential adoption curve.
Bitcoin can be thought of as a large cap and tends to lead the cycle, while altcoins are like small caps and tend to outperform Bitcoin later in the cycle once the trend is established, similar to how small cap stocks lag the ISM.
On-chain data and technical analysis suggest the crypto bottom is in and the bull market is resuming after the 2022 bear market. Altcoins in particular look poised for major outperformance in the months ahead.
Cryptocurrency is the single best-performing asset class in history, far outpacing even the NASDAQ. It is an "alien" asset class in terms of returns.
All other assets are being devalued relative to crypto over time due to fiat currency debasement. The "supermassive black hole" means that any money that leaves crypto for another investment is losing value in real terms.
The combination of technological adoption s-curves and the liquidity cycle argues that staying invested in the crypto secular bull trend is the best way to preserve and grow wealth in real terms.
The "banana zone" is the period in late 2024-2025 when liquidity, adoption, and cyclical tailwinds should combine to produce spectacular returns, potentially a "blow-off top".
Overall, crypto represents the single greatest macro opportunity investors have ever seen, and the goal should be to participate in this trend as much as possible.
In summary, understanding the interaction between demographics, debt, liquidity, technology, and the business cycle is crucial for constructing a macro thesis and asset allocation. Cryptocurrency is the asset most leveraged to the mega-trends of technological adoption and fiat debasement. The goal is to participate in the crypto secular bull market in order to preserve and grow wealth in real terms.

attitude - The only thing you are in control of. You wake up in the morning and you deside how your day is going to be. Push youreself to the positive side. Fack it till you make it. It works. I KNOW.
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
Just read this article about how a lot of so-called 'imported' European beers, are in fact, brewed in the UK. No surprise of course, but they're not of the quality plus lower strength meaning less duty to pay (rather than for health reasons).
Give it a read if you like and can see it properly. Best get myself abroad asap for a cheeky cold one…

You could be waiting a long time.
That applies to a lot of things.
that is not what she said! lol
She is clueless.
do you play other tabletop rpg? I have two friends at hive who would probably join Leo if they could get a game going on it. I forget the name of the game they play but I’ll ask
Never have, but I'm open to it!
D&D was my introduction to tabletop rpg and it's the only one I've played
ever hear of Chronicles of Darkness. I think that’s one that both play although there might be another one. Let’s see if I can bring them over. I’m not sure I can focus on it but I’ll try 😂
Never heard of it! Will look it up
Did you win?
We won the battles we fought on that day so kind of.... but there are many more challenges to come
That is how things work. Always another challenge ahead.
That's interesting to know, let's go on
Not D&D but maybe you can identify.

What came first:
Being a geek or playing D&D?
Does playing the game turn you into a geek or were you one before?
Asking for inspiration and hope.
I met my D&D group playing Minecraft so I was definitely a geek before LOL
So it isnt the chicken or the egg?
I will have to geek up.
Hmm I have some work to do.
I will watch the training manuals.
yes
yes ooo
Probably being a geek comes first...
we are now fighting ghost dragons
FUN!
I did that on LSD one night in college.
But they werent ghosts. Those dragons were still alive.

The weekend is here, and also, your #threadcast about movies! 🎦
Thread Day #17 | Join us! #themovieclub
Do you enjoy horror films?
Hell, yeah! So much!
#themovieclub
Not a huge fan but do like some.
As you can see the Halloween series was something I liked.
Many of the others not so much.
I personally hate Rob Zombie's movies, and I also hate the last two movies in the most recent franchise (specially the last one).
#themovieclub
I was meh on the Zombie films. H20 was the the best one after the first two.
I didnt mind the last trio although they didnt make my toes curl.
I love it, I usually watch all the horror movies that appear on Netflix, Amazon prime and Max.
You are a true fan.

#themovieclub
Here's the official logo (and title) of the next movie from the global phenomenon Avatar.
#themovieclub
The movie will premiere on December 19, 2025.
#themovieclub
I can't barely wait to watch this one!
#themovieclub
Incredible 3 was officially announced.
#themovieclub
Are you ready for more? ❄️
Officially confirmed.
#themovieclub
What's your favorite science fiction movie? 🤔
#themovieclub
Do you like noir movies? 🤔
#themovieclub
A24 is coming with so many interesting movies. 🤯
#themovieclub
Not familiar with that one. I will have to check it out. Is that a Brazilian studio?
I wish so, and that I owned it, haha! But no, it's an American one.
#themovieclub
I will have to check it out. Could be useful in my writing.
Do it. A24 movies are amazing (most of the times)!
#themovieclub
Good to know.
Do you like movie adaptations based on video games? 🤔
#themovieclub
Have you ever argued inside a movie theater? 🗣️ 👊
#themovieclub
What is your favorite Disney movie? 🎇
#themovieclub
Movies give you freedom of thought.
#themovieclub
What do you think about the use of animals in movies? 🤔
#themovieclub
With computers and #ai, it will not be required. In fact the use of humans will not be necessary.
This will probably never happen.
#themovieclub
I disagree. You are going to see films with AI generated "Stars" in them.
It will be the norm in a decade.
Hell movie stars are nothing but 2 dimensional figures to you anyway. To us, they reside on a screen.
I prefer to wait and see what happens, and appreciate the path of change by experiencing human reactions.
#themovieclub
I love following the production process of a movie that I'm really looking forward to watch. ❤️
#themovieclub
Threadcast on the top! 🚀
#themovieclub
Did you ever see the film with Harrison Ford called What Lies Beneath?
Yes, and it is a very interesting (and intriguing) thriller movie.
#themovieclub
It was very freaky considering the fact that it wasnt horror. But it kept one on edge.
I guess I can't say much without mentioning some major spoilers, but this movie's greatest asset is precisely that it appears to be what it isn't.
#themovieclub
Who was the best killer?
Jason or Michael Myers?
For me, Halloween was much better.
Michael leads the team of the classic killers.
#themovieclub
Yeah.
What do you think of Freddy Kruger.
Not a fan personally.
Damn it! I love that freaky psycho, haha!
#themovieclub
That is a good character summary. LOL
Top Gun Maverick
I didn't expect this sequel to be so good.
#themovieclub
They rarely are but when there is a great film backed up by decades before a new one comes out, there is a chance.
It is like Wall Street 2 was fabulous, more than 20 years after the original. Stone didnt over saturate the market.
You've said it all. Sequels are rarely better than the original movies.
#themovieclub
Yes. Not too many are even close to the original. Most sequels suck quite frankly.
Battleship
#movieclips
Technically, it's great a movie (but the script is terrible).
#themovieclub
I never saw it in full.
Don't waste your time doing this. 😅
#themovieclub
The lions are coming back. 🦁
#themovieclub
The first trailer of Snow White looks pretty decent.
#themovieclub
Did you ever see the film Joy Ride with Paul Walker?
That was a really freaky film.
Yeah! It's a really good movie!
#themovieclub
Joy Ride (2001) (Theatrical Trailer)
Great stuff here. I miss Leelee Sobieski.
#themovieclub
Funniest movie ever
That was a good one.
Michael Caine is underappreciated as an actor.
You seen it then?
Yep. Actually saw it in the theater.
Same here.
I've never watched this one.
#themovieclub
Please do, it is so funny, you will be rolling on the floor, literaly
You got me curious now, haha!
#themovieclub
Both, old me, @taskmaster4450le and me seen it in theater.
That's nice. Do you know each other in person?
#themovieclub
Not together.
I was never really able to get into fantasy films for some reason.
Maybe because almost everything is based on the screenwriters' own imagination? 🤔

Here is the daily technology #threadcast for 8/10/24. We aim to educate people about this crucial area along with providing information of what is taking place.
Drop all question, comments, and articles relating to #technology and the future. The goal is make it a technology center.
Technology has its downsides example scam, and other internet enabled fraud.
Would you prefer not to have the internet?

The advantages of internet far out weighs the disadvantages. Still I prefer the internet technology.
Car have accidents but still people drive cars.

You have more than the richest person did 250 years ago.
They would consider talking to someone on the other side of the planet as magic.
There was a time when mobile phones were only for the wealthy, doctors and stock brokers, in the developed countries.
You are on point. Powered by Technology.
That holds true for much of human history. Fire was one of the first technologies that changed society.
technology has improved life to a very large extent.
Think of telephone. Television. Internet. AI
Think steam engine. Tractor. Electricity. Medical care.
Exactly. And the list goes on...
We keep adding to it.

Do you fear #technology?
In an aggregate way, because I know that today we are only able to communicate thanks to the technological advances that have occurred over the years.
That is true. People do not realize what is in their hands as compared to 40 years ago.
One thing about getting older, we can see the transition. Younger people do not understand what life was like without certiain #technology.
This current generation doesn't even dream of what the world was like 30 or 40 years ago.
Today they wouldn't imagine what it's like to live without the internet hahahaha...
I was there before the Internet.
There was also a time without in home video games, mobile phones, digital cameras (let alone camera phones), and personal computers.
A good part of all this, I didn't have in my time. It's even funny to remember that despite not having most of these things, we were happy.
This is very interesting:
Inside Xiaomi’s Autonomous Dark Factory: What’s Going On?
In a groundbreaking move that signals a new era in smartphone production, Chinese tech giant Xiaomi has unveiled its state-of-the-art “dark factory” in Beijing. This fully automated manufacturing facility, capable of producing smartphones without human intervention, represents a significant leap forward in the integration of artificial intelligence, robotics, and advanced manufacturing techniques.
#technology #xiaomi #manufacturing
Hey @taskmaster4450le
Thank you for telling me to read this news. I found it very interesting and it's incredible how advanced Xiaomi is in this project with the creation of new smartphones without human use.
It is a dark factory. No need for people in it, thus no need for lights.
We could be looking at the future of manufacturing.
I went to check this out and was really excited about what they can do from now on.
It will be a big saving since you won't need to spend on salaries and energy.
It is. That is why it is deflationary. The downside is people lose their jobs.
I have a feeling this is going to happen across the economy. Robotics is going to really cause a lot of disruption in the job market.
Unfortunately, #ai is going to come in first.
That's what I thought about it too. There will be a lot of unemployment, because when these automations become quite common in the job market, I wonder what these people will do to support their families.
I may be wrong, but perhaps Musk already predicted this and he already mentioned something similar as a "social wage" because with machines taking up a large part of jobs, this may be necessary.

The X exodus that wasn't
When digging into the data to determine how large the exodus everyone on Threads is talking about actually is, we oddly came up short.
Over on Threads, the talk of an X “exodus” is blowing up. Anecdotally, at least, people report seeing an influx of new users and other online friends leaving Elon Musk’s X to join Meta’s Threads, with some even deactivating their X account in the process. But while users’ timelines filled with this chatter and various hashtag trends — like “Xodus” and “TwitterExodus” — seemingly point to a massive shift in users from X to Threads over the past week, app store and website traffic data don’t yet reflect any significant changes between the two platforms.

How a cybersecurity researcher befriended, then doxed, the leader of LockBit ransomware gang
Jon DiMaggio used sockpuppet accounts, then his own identity, to infiltrate LockBit and gain the trust of its alleged admin, Dmitry Khoroshev.
Earlier this year, an international coalition of law enforcement agencies took control of the dark web site of the notorious ransomware gang LockBit, replacing its content with the now-familiar message from the authorities: “This site is now under the control of law enforcement.” The operation didn’t disrupt the group’s operation for too long, with the gang launching a new site shortly after the takedown.

How to ask Google to remove deepfake porn results from Google Search
Need to remove nonconsensual deepfake porn results from Google Search? Here's how, using Google's built-in tools.
The internet is full of deepfakes — and most of them are nudes.
According to a report from Home Security Heroes, deepfake porn makes up 98% of all deepfake videos online. Thanks to easy-to-use and freely available generative AI tools, the number of deepfakes online — many of which aren’t consensual — skyrocketed 550% from 2019 to 2023.

A very good video on the everything code by Raoul Pal.
Here are the key points and why they matter:
Point: Traditional diversification strategies are no longer effective.
Importance: Investors need to reconsider how they manage risk and build portfolios, potentially focusing more on macroeconomic factors and market cycles.
Point: GDP growth is driven by population growth, productivity growth, and debt growth.
Importance: Understanding these components helps predict economic growth and inform investment decisions.
Point: Population trends significantly influence economic outcomes.
Importance: Demographic changes can affect labor markets, consumption patterns, and long-term economic growth.
Point: Financial conditions and central bank policies create cycles of liquidity that impact asset prices.
Importance: Recognizing these cycles helps investors anticipate market movements and adjust strategies accordingly.
Point: Post-2008, economic and market cycles have become more pronounced.
Importance: Investors should be more attuned to cyclical patterns and adjust their strategies to these cycles.
Point: The business cycle affects asset performance, with different phases (early, mid, late, recession) impacting returns.
Importance: Understanding the business cycle helps in timing investments and asset allocation to maximize returns and minimize risks.
Point: Different asset classes perform better at different stages of the business cycle.
Importance: Investors can optimize returns by adjusting their portfolios based on the current stage of the business cycle.
Point: The macroeconomic environment (disinflationary boom, inflationary boom, stagflation, deflationary bust) dictates asset performance.
Importance: This framework aids investors in aligning their asset allocation with the prevailing economic conditions to enhance performance.
Point: Digital assets have been top performers in recent years.
Importance: As the crypto market evolves, investors need to understand its dynamics and potential future trends to capitalize on opportunities.
Point: Details on significant economic or market risks that could have widespread impact.
Importance: Awareness of such risks is crucial for risk management and preparing for potential downturns.
Conversational #ai is something to pay attention to.

Making Sense of Everything (The Everything Code)
The Everything Code and Macro Thesis:
Liquidity is increasing at 8% per year globally, which is the hurdle rate for all investments. With inflation, the hurdle rate is around 12%.
The two massive secular trends are cryptocurrency (e.g. Bitcoin) and the NASDAQ, which are both exponential trends based on adoption curves and capital flows.
The "magic formula" is that GDP growth equals population growth + productivity growth + debt growth. Slowing population and productivity growth is offset by increasing debt.
Debt ends up being monetized through currency debasement. Global liquidity follows an exponential trend like Bitcoin and NASDAQ.
Demographics explain economic trends - slowing birth rates and labor force participation drive the debt and liquidity cycle. Government debt is inversely correlated with labor force participation.
Central banks use liquidity injections to offset the demographic trends and allow governments to service debts through currency debasement. This drives asset prices higher.
The Liquidity Cycle and Business Cycle:
The ISM Purchasing Managers Index follows a predictable 4-year cycle based on the debt maturity and liquidity injection schedule since 2008. This matches the presidential election and Bitcoin halving cycles.
The 4-year cycle can be broken down into annual "seasons" - spring, summer, fall, winter - based on liquidity injections and withdrawals. Asset prices follow these seasons.
Forecasting the ISM cycle and liquidity allows for forecasting of asset prices, especially for liquidity-driven assets like NASDAQ and crypto. Models suggest a potential peak in ISM in June 2025 and liquidity peak in Sept 2024.
Asset Allocation and the Business Cycle:
The business cycle, measured by the ISM, is the key driver of asset prices across equities, commodities, credit, and crypto. Different assets have different lead/lag times to the ISM.
A framework of leading and lagging economic indicators can be used to track phases of the cycle.
The cycle can be broken into "four seasons" based on the growth and inflation mix: Spring (growth accelerating, inflation falling), Summer (growth and inflation accelerating), Fall (growth falling, inflation accelerating), and Winter (growth and inflation falling).
Each season favors different assets e.g. Spring favors tech/growth/crypto, Summer favors commodities and cyclicals. Late 2022 was the transition from Winter to Spring.
The current environment in mid-2024 is showing signs of moving from Spring to Summer, with a broadening of cyclical and commodity outperformance.
Crypto Cycles and Outlook:
Crypto prices move in cycles around the 4-year halving cycle, with the next major peak expected in 2025 based on historical patterns.
The crypto market cap is expected to go from $2.5T today to $10-15T in this cycle, potentially $100T by 2030, based on a continuing exponential adoption curve.
Bitcoin can be thought of as a large cap and tends to lead the cycle, while altcoins are like small caps and tend to outperform Bitcoin later in the cycle once the trend is established, similar to how small cap stocks lag the ISM.
On-chain data and technical analysis suggest the crypto bottom is in and the bull market is resuming after the 2022 bear market. Altcoins in particular look poised for major outperformance in the months ahead.
The Supermassive Blackhole and Opportunity:
Cryptocurrency is the single best-performing asset class in history, far outpacing even the NASDAQ. It is an "alien" asset class in terms of returns.
All other assets are being devalued relative to crypto over time due to fiat currency debasement. The "supermassive black hole" means that any money that leaves crypto for another investment is losing value in real terms.
The combination of technological adoption s-curves and the liquidity cycle argues that staying invested in the crypto secular bull trend is the best way to preserve and grow wealth in real terms.
The "banana zone" is the period in late 2024-2025 when liquidity, adoption, and cyclical tailwinds should combine to produce spectacular returns, potentially a "blow-off top".
Overall, crypto represents the single greatest macro opportunity investors have ever seen, and the goal should be to participate in this trend as much as possible.
In summary, understanding the interaction between demographics, debt, liquidity, technology, and the business cycle is crucial for constructing a macro thesis and asset allocation. Cryptocurrency is the asset most leveraged to the mega-trends of technological adoption and fiat debasement. The goal is to participate in the crypto secular bull market in order to preserve and grow wealth in real terms.

attitude - The only thing you are in control of. You wake up in the morning and you deside how your day is going to be. Push youreself to the positive side. Fack it till you make it. It works. I KNOW.
That is true. It is incredible what happens when one changes his or her outlook.
!BBH Some days are more challenging than others to get there.

Success is not a 9-5 gig.
It doesnt give extended holidays. And it isnt for pleasure.
Few realize the power of a can do mindset.
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
Pauline Kael
"We rise by lifting others" is a beautiful quote!!~
I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.
Brian Tracy
You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.
Woodrow Wilson
Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.
Bradley Whitford

🍺 Lager letdown in Britain! 🇬🇧
Just read this article about how a lot of so-called 'imported' European beers, are in fact, brewed in the UK. No surprise of course, but they're not of the quality plus lower strength meaning less duty to pay (rather than for health reasons).
Give it a read if you like and can see it properly. Best get myself abroad asap for a cheeky cold one…

Why drink lagers when there are Belgian trappists and other special beers? 😁🍻
#freecompliments
Of course, they're just one type of beer… take your pick of whatever you like when the mood takes you!
I was just kidding ^^
Always got lagers in my fridge as well. Especially when it's hot outside, they are really refreshing!

1/✍️ The INLEO referral program is live now and that is one of the best news on the interface but many don't yet understand how to explore this for the better. But this article promises to keep it right and better for a good understanding.
Have you received any of that leo for referring yet? (Haven't received any leo yet / do I have to click somewhere to get it)??
Lets appreciate culture from different cultures! #photographers
The more we learn the better we become #photographers

I watch a fisherman boldly sail a kayak into the sea and base himself on the rocks during a thunderstorm... I wouldn't dare to do that :)
As a child, it seemed to me that there were few species of fish in the Black Sea that could be caught with a fishing rod, but today it seems funny.

I have been to the Black Sea many times, but I did not know that many fish can be caught on algae that grow on rocks at the very edge of the water and air :)
