The biggest arbitrage right now is being a heavy user of Claude Code. I’m pretty sure they’re either subsidizing usage at the moment or too many people and companies are paying for it without actually using it enough.

You don’t need millions of customers to become a billionaire — sometimes 1,566 are enough.

Pretty great race from Pinheiro in the giant slalom - congrats on the gold medal! I would have never guessed it, but it was actually the first medal for South America at any Winter Olympics.

What a great women’s super-G competition at the Olympics. Of course, I feel sorry for anyone who missed a gate, but it is great advertising for the sport.

Fun fact: The EU already tried that in 2020 with the European Payments Initiative (EPI). The total investment was somewhere between €1.5 and €2B. Long story short, it’s basically dead now — but sure, let’s try that again. 😂 Don't get me started on all the other EU projects.

I'm surprised that a leftist is so supportive of the Olympics. Usually, it's not exactly a core issue for the left to support things where someone achieves success through their own performance.

Whoever had the idea that the EU could just ban crypto transactions to Russia has obviously never used crypto.

Haha, I wonder how many days Saylor’s marketing team actually needed to find any metric where $MSTR looks good.

Bitmine is sitting on $6.6B in unrealized losses. Obviously, he’s preaching a recovery — what else are you supposed to say when your company is that far underwater?

For comparison: The US Chips Act from 2022 allocates investments of $53 billion. So once again, we're way too late—and investing far too little. Fun fact: The processor in the picture is about 22 years old. It doesn't get more fitting than that.

$MSTR has been buying Bitcoin regularly for five and a half years. Since then, the Bitcoin price has increased by 700% – and yet they have now managed to fall below their break-even price.

I’ll just leave that here. 👇

Can’t wait for Monday when Saylor announces he bought $1B worth of $BTC at $93K - while the current price sits at $78K.

Great recap: OKX basically believes 10/10 happened because too many users on Binance used USDe as collateral to borrow USDT and looped it several times. When USDe started to depeg, a liquidation cascade followed - sending some altcoins basically to zero.

I mean, who could have seen that coming - silver basically acting like a memecoin. 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

Anyone who already thinks the situation in Berlin is crazy should wait until September, when we have an RGR government with a left-wing mayor who is more left than left and, among other things, wants to grant voting rights to migrants without citizenship.

It's going pretty well I guess. 😀

Shall we also talk about how Mario Voigt was a scholarship recipient of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and that taxpayers funded his studies? Maybe now is the right time for him to apologize.🤷‍♂️

Not sure what Bitpanda is doing, but the order book looks fake. The lowest ask is below the highest bid - those orders should match and cancel out. That’s literally the whole point of an order book.

I couldn’t take it anymore. Started market making silver on Hyperliquid to build a short. At some point, buyers will dry up and gravity will kick in. Even if it runs a few hundred more, I’ll be there on the way down. See you on the other side.🫡
