Most investors lose money not because they pick bad assets. They lose because they fight the trend. Here’s why a trend following strategy changes everything 🧵

Miss my Dragons. How evil is the system that is supposedly there to protect and serve us. Still innocent, still not proven guilty, still wrongfully accused. FREETHETATES

Disappointed by the European Central Bank’s (ECB) and European Banking Authority’s (EBA) responses to the MiCA consultation. They are not only advocating for a prohibition on paying yield on stablecoins, but also for restrictions on CASPs providing access to DeFi, including protocols offering yield on non-MiCA-authorized stablecoins, without providing a clear framework for how access to DeFi should work in practice. They also suggest that CASPs offering access to DeFi should restrict it to certain groups of users through so-called “suitability tests,” alongside a potential certification regime for DeFi lending protocols. It is unclear how these requirements would work in practice. If regulators determine which protocols are deemed suitable for European users, the result risks looking very different from the open DeFi that exists today. Instead, we could end up with more walled gardens that undermine the liquidity and network effects of open financial networks, ultimately limiting Europeans’ ability to access new ways to grow and preserve wealth. These proposals are presented as measures to “protect consumers.” But excessive restrictions can instead create more friction for innovation and slow the development of open, transparent, and auditable financial infrastructure that can benefit consumers. The reality is that onchain finance, including stablecoins, DeFi, and tokenized securities, has the potential to reshape financial infrastructure by reducing friction, increasing transparency, and expanding access to financial opportunities. European consumers and businesses stand to benefit significantly from this transformation, particularly if the companies building this infrastructure can continue to build and compete from within Europe. Meanwhile, U.S. regulators, including the SEC and CFTC, have increasingly taken a more pragmatic approach toward enabling onchain financial innovation. European regulators should put users and their interests at the center of the framework. Banks and other incumbents should be able to adapt their businesses to serve users in an increasingly onchain economy, rather than relying on artificial restrictions that risk increasing costs and reducing access for Europeans as the rest of the world moves onchain. DeFi will win.

With everyone being able to use agents to code everything they ever wished for, what happens is that a whole lot of features are created and presented as useful. What makes things useful and robust tend to be the absence of features and instead targeted functionality.

You heard stories of Andrew Tate working 18 hours a day to build his school. The school that helped millions around the work make money and become better people. The school that is part of the Reason he is sitting in isolation in 95 degree weather with no A/C and is filled with cockroaches. We as his students and supporters need to put in that same work ethic he taught us to help him and Tristan get of of jail. They did it for us. Now we need to do it for them. Get to work! #FreeTheTates

ethereum:native currently on $2435 doing fine, however persistent down pressure might trigger a short soon 👀

Ms von der Leyen, there is no greater racist against Europeans than you! #EU

FOURTH TURNING CLIMAX COUNTDOWN CLOCK UPDATE: I’ve been publishing thought-provoking analysis to institutional investors across global Wall Street for nearly two decades, and these are four of the most important charts I have ever published. There will soon come a time when every citizen of the [currently] “United” States of America will be forced to choose between defending their tribe (Republican 🔴 vs. Democrat 🔵) and fighting for the will and rights of We the People. As these charts indicate, those are NOT the same things. The Most High God has helped me overcome child abuse, homelessness, two decades of food and housing insecurity amid extreme poverty, and the tragic loss of life of close friends due to gang violence. This is why I strongly believe that He has sent me here to deliver His message to global Wall Street: there is only one “right side of history” that your legacy will reside on, and that’s the side that starts and ends with love for all of God’s creation. If you are a member of the K-1/capital class, don’t say you weren’t warned when a critical mass of our brothers and sisters of the W-2/labor class realize that elites from both Parties are responsible for the game being rigged and flip over the Monopoly™ board as a result—i.e., Paradigm E. We’d better get to work building the E-shaped economy that our children deserve before it’s too late. My math puts “too late” within 5-10 years. Jesus Christ and I love you, —Skipper ❤️+🤍+💙=💜 P.S. For those of you who are unfamiliar with @42Macro's highly lucrative Paradigm A-E framework: Paradigm A: Fiscal dominance perpetuates Treasury bond market disequilibrium (2020-21). Paradigm B: Cut the deficit (2022, 1H25). Paradigm C: Run the economy hot (2H25-present). Paradigm D: Default via debasement (likely commencing within 1-2 years from today). Paradigm E: MAJOR political realignment and total war (likely commencing within 5-10 years from today).

The Tate brothers situation update: NO BAIL & INDEFINITE ISOLATION IN THE SHU! Not looking good, nor fair for both @Cobratate and @TateTheTalisman September 10th details:

The Tate brother situation is just sad from every possible angle.

Do you ever just feel nothing? Not empty, not sad, not happy, not lost, just nothing.

🚨BREAKING: Andrew Tate was reportedly offered a PLEA DEAL to settle his case. If accepted he would plead GUILTY off of ZERO evidence for only 2 years in jail. They DENIED the deal and will continue to fight for the truth! #FreetheTates

liquidation heatmap alone tells you where fuel sits. useful. incomplete.

Nice shit!! ethereum:native

Dominance is where the money goes. Most altcoins are worth zero. Professional investors know this. Bitcoin dominates all others. Ethereum is a distant second.

RT @McBrideLawNYC: WHAT THEY DID TO ANDREW AND TRISTAN TATE ON SUNDAY Andrew and Tristan Tate remain in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) at…

ethereum:native still LONG, while bitcoin:native is struggling 🥴 Is this gonna be another false alarm, or is the next trend already underway?
