It takes serious mental gymnastics to back higher consumer taxes when the government is openly throwing money away on nonsense

I wish more guys knew this:
When your wife stops working, you only need to cut expenses for ~90 days.
During that time, you’ll watch the stress melt off her, she’ll be happier, she’ll be a better version of herself… and you’ll see that that’s a good thing.
You’ll naturally shift into a higher gear and figure out a way to provide a great life for you both.
The same thing will happen again when you have a kid btw…
Tell her to quit her job if she wants to, with no regard for finances, then work hard, and trust God to provide.
My wife stopped working when I made $5k/mo and our expenses were $7. The next year I made more than double what we had ever made combined.
That wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t have the responsibility to provide.

Once you make it, you end up in a slightly different place in life than your friends, even if nothing changed between you.
You can't complain about Monday mornings because you don't have them. If you talk about a good trade where you made good money, it sounds like bragging. If you talk about feeling lost and without direction in life because there are too many options to choose from, it sounds like a luxury problem lol.
So you just stop talking about yourself. It's a weird state, but I am sure many in here can relate.

Ethena is partnering with @Binance as our first venue for the extension of the basis trade into equity perpetuals, one of the most exciting updates to the USDe collateral backing since launch.
This expands the addressable market of underlying collateral from $2.5 trillion of crypto to $150 trillion+ of real-world assets.
As part of the partnership, bStocks will serve as tokenized spot collateral, hedged with Binance USDT-denominated equity perpetuals - the same delta-neutral structure Ethena has securely executed across crypto assets since inception.
Importantly, Binance provides lower ADL priority for eligible delta-neutral accounts including Ethena's, adding another layer of risk mitigation for USDe holders.
Binance equity basis has averaged ~11%+ annualized over the past 6 months, while open interest has grown on average ~30% per month in the last 3 month period.
We expect the market opportunity size for equity perpetuals to far exceed the $15b+ of crypto perpetuals captured by Ethena last cycle.
Allocations begin today.

Don’t value advice from anyone who is not demonstrably better than me on a particular subject.
Trainer must be considerably more Jacked than myself.
Trading advice can only come from someone who has out compounded me.
Advice is valuable only from someone whose life you admire.

All roads lead back to 9 PM bed time, 5 AM wake up, 4 hours of deep, focused work creative work first thing, leaving your notifications off, work out mid day to break it up, admin & calls in the afternoon, hang with friends and loved ones in the evening, repeat forever.

Seriously? What’s the concern you ask, @vladtenev? The list of concerns is almost existential.
U.S. securities laws are in place to protect investors. For good reason, we spend millions and millions of dollars every year to comply with U.S. securities laws. In good. conscience, how can Robinhood as a U.S. company set up an operation in far offshore Jersey, an island 3000 miles away, and market a security sort of posing as AMC in some shape or fashion, and not comply with U.S. securities laws. That is shocking and shameful.
Our past issuance of equity to strengthen our balance sheet was vital to our success. Your setting up some kind of fictitious synthetic equity market decouples stock token ownership from a company’s ability to control its own capital raising efforts.
Share ownership gives shareholders various rights, including the right to vote their shares. Your stock token pretend to be some form of stock ownership, but disclosures to the contrary notwithstanding, they are not ownership and they deprive investors of their rights.
This quasi-fake market you are creating on the island of Jersey sows distrust amongst the public about financial markets in general. There already is distrust in financial institutions, you are potentially making it far worse.
These are but a few of my concerns about your actions.
I hereby call on you and Robinhood to voluntarily CEASE AND DECIST the trading of AMC stock tokens. If you don’t, our high priced securities counsel has been asked to see whether we can force you to stop.
I also wonder how can the SEC possibly support your sham ignoring of U.S. securities laws. You can be sure we will be asking them.
