this tweet should have like 100k likes, they are absolutely just jealous inferior haters
A lot of people love to pile on Bourdain, and I don't get it.
He was a talented writer, a successful chef, and found himself with a series of incredible opportunities in the media industry (and he took them, as anyone else would).
His wife treated him like a dog, cheated on him, and he went nuts and offed himself -- a story one can find in all strata of society. Rich and poor, liberal and conservative, working class and white collar, this is a thing that happens to all sorts of people and it's tragic in every case.
I think Bourdain's haters want there to have been some kind of "catch" or "gotchya" to his lifestyle. The man lived an illustrious life in a manner that would've been readily legible to history's Great Men. He had the 'je na sais quois' of old-world explorers, he was a Manhattan guy, a dynamic man literally getting paid to travel the world.
This is obviously jealousy-inducing, and the goblin-tier slouches of the world love to see an interesting man falter, suffer, and meet his demise -- as a kind of punishment for living well. They crave the punishment of the interesting man because it validates the mediocrity of their own lives.
And so Bourdain's suicide was kind of a Colosseum event for a lot of the world's saddest, most pedestrian men. A lurid way to watch the guy they were jealous of get his 'comeuppance'. Very telling to see people pile on Bourdain IMO.

Trading with a small bankroll doesn’t scale.
You’re forced to either gamble on illiquid markets or abandon risk if you want to grow.
Take 1% risk per trade on a 2R trade.
On a $100,000 account, that’s $2000.
On a $1,000 account, that’s $20.
Same setup, same risk management, same trade outcome.
Except the first one gets you paid and the second one is a waste of time.
That’s why Breakout is one of the best tools for traders.
It removes starting capital as a constraint and lets you monetize your skill.
also one of the best examples of why i simply dont believe in software wallets, like at all, i just don't think they should be a thing. My position is the extreme.

All of these are unconstitutional.
gun control
stimulus checks
Federal involvement in healthcare
Unilateral executive war powers
Warrantless surveillance
The department of education
The ATF and the DEA
Unilateral executive tariff powers
Congress re-delegating delegated power to another branch
Legislating from the bench
There’s plenty more, but you get the drift. At least 90 percent of what these people in both parties do should not be tolerated because it is a direct violation of the constitution.
zcash isnt perfect, but im not sure why the privacy coin people are tearing each others eyes out, the SDNY wants to put every last one of you in Gitmo, so like, you have bigger problems
it resonates with me because im already crazy and already feel like the main character living in that world lmfao
that stache looked like the 1970s private investigator that breaks into the house to chase a perp, and the house is a 1970s porno, everyone has the stache, even the woman, and everyone should go to prison
I fucking despise people who keep saying Samourai had it coming because of their rhetoric.
I asked Keonne once if he's not afraid about getting in troubles with the state because of what he says. He said "No, we have a freedom of speech in the First Amendment and staying silent is the real defeat"
Is it safe to taunt your government online? Well... turns out it isn't. But neither is walking through a park at midnight alone wearing a skirt. Yet you don't deserve to be raped nor you wasn't asking for it.
People don't understand the message behind what Samourai were saying. It's simple. If privacy doesn't work for whatever reason (like being the worst fucking person in the solar system), it just doesn't work for anybody. It just won't.
Make no mistake this wasn't about some money service or laundering nonsense. It was clearly about show of power. It was about telling everyone interested in financial privacy to get in the fucking line and better know your place.

this is completely true, but the terminally nerded out polisci geeks like me find political event markets to basically be the same thing as black tar herion levels of fun
Every single DoJ trial that requires explaining crypto to an audience of normies leads to a cascade of mental breakdowns in the jury. The mere act of making a nail salon owner think about MEV or NFTs leads to physical tears and often attempts to escape

The Fed just said it wants banks to be fully engaged in digital assets.
That's wild considering they blocked Custodia's application for a master account just a few days ago because crypto is “too risky.”
They want to protect incumbents and block innovators.
the SDNY has to be the biggest psyop of all because democrats spin it as a progressive circuit, but any cursory understanding of socialism and history and the history of the cases paints it as even more reactionary than the Supreme Court, and I genuinely believe it
Ranier Styles Grant retweeted
It is true that the Supreme Court has basically throughout history always leaned conservative-to-reactionary versus the rest of the government except for the period from 1955-1985 for civil rights and from 1965-1975 for most matters.
