While training for the NFL combine, players often yell "get money" because a few more reps on their bench press will lead to a better contract. Yes, we often feel Leetcode is beneath us, but my crew and me yell "Get Money!" after every Leetcode hard we complete when prepping!

Every time I query Claude for details on complex tax avoidance schemes it starts moralizing me that while avoiding tax may be legal it might be bad for society. I need AI that just puts my fries in the bag bro. Perhaps I need to try Deep Research.

Someone who would know told me Handler’s personal prop book was around half the VaR at the firm back in the day. Game recognize game and he knew this was headed south fast.

0/ 80% of 100 dollar bills are held offshore, representing over $1.5T in value! For most, outside of the global elite, the only access to USD was cold hard cash. Stablecoins introduced digital dollars to the rest of the worlds, and the adoption metrics are astounding. 👇

All the wealth eventually accrues to the landowners. It all works out as long as property values hold.

1/ Stablecoin usage is at an all time high and timezone analysis shows adoption is global (source: @stablepulse)! Given this, we wanted to dig in to stables for @ElectricCapital's 2024 Developer Report.

Control and ownership are two different things. Trust me, I know after having worked at Snap.

Insurance only works for risks that can be diversified across a larger pool. That's why earthquake insurance isn't common. Insurers are starting to learn that CA wildfires have a similar risk profile to quakes, so I suspect standard homeowner's policies won't cover them soon.

The same meme applies, perhaps even more aptly, to the "payers" vs. patients dynamic in American healthcare.

Clearly you have never traded a market where SocGen or BNP gets stopped out from a gamma squeeze/implosion.

1/ We're launching @stablepulse to present these data and highlight what's exciting on this frontier. Check it out at stablepulse.org. What's exciting? We're at an all time high of $174.4B USD stablecoin circulating supply up from $173.6B in April 2022!

I have seen people make the transition. Work your ass off being a pain killer for a top trader running their book. Ask to take on additional analysis work and deliver. Pivot to traders with non-traditional backgrounds. A guy I know is on a top team at Millenium after doing this.

I tried to buy a bunch of the ETFs on Vanguard, and I got this error message for all of them. I understood the issues with GBTC, but this paternalism is kinda worse than blue bottle refusing to ice my single origins on the hottest day of the summer.

The USB card dies quickly. They aren't earning 4% on interchange! USB will eventually realize the cardholders aren't converting to private wealth and mortgage customers as the consultants predicted. BofA Premium Rewards Elite at 2.625% is best long-term and you can spend size.
