Everyone studies successful people wrong!!! They look at the habits, the routines, the discipline but that's not what separates real winners from people who just do okay. The difference is structure: 1. they take tiny, cheap losses all the time 2. they stay in games long enough for luck to hit 3. when it hits, there's no ceiling Most people do the opposite. They avoid small failures and cap their wins at safe stable job, predictable growth, no embarrassment. The actual winners fail constantly but each failure costs nothing and they only need to be right once. One uncapped win erases a 100 small losses. It's about building a life where randomness works for you instead of against you. asymmetry > everything else

The 10 Biggest Mistakes Young Men Make In Their 20's And 30's 1. Settling for a job they hate A lot of dudes over-index on fear of poverty and under-index on resistance to humiliation, and before they know it they are 35 with some job they hate undergoing a host of daily normie humiliation rituals to keep an income that really isn't that good anyway... 2. Settling for a wife they don't really like Some guys just create a dating profile, start dating the first girl that responds to them regardless of if they really like her, then marry her reluctantly 5 years later even though they don't really love her... etc... very unfortunate but common scenario... 3. Poor diet and obesity Often one's youthful teenage hormones and high activity levels will override a bad diet, but it will inevitably catch up with you by your late twenties. Taking the time to understand nutrition and actually counting your calories and macros is one of the most asymmetric actions one can take in modern life. Is seriously life-changing. 4. Developing some kind of drug dependency This could be prescription or recreational, and often the drug itself is not the main problem but rather the fact that virtually all drugs will nuke your hormone levels if you become physically dependent on them or use them daily, including common prescription drugs like SSRI's and anxiolytics and even skincare stuff like Accutane. If you can make it to age 35 with no drug dependencies the world will literally be your oyster. 5. Developing severe screen-addiction The worst example of this is p0rn because it utterly degrades your vril and thumos, but mindless TikTok slop can be awful too, and video games can be bad (although I think in their highest form they are more akin to art and no worse to engage in than watching great films). 6. Injury OR un-needed surgery These are both often somewhat life destroying. Dudes will be inactive for ten years and gain 50 lbs then think they can still run or jump like when they were 16 (or ego-lift on the barbells), then either destroy their knee or back or else moderately injure it and get roped into a surgery they don't really need which is often even worse. 7. Taking finasteride Yes, there are some guys who claim to have taken it for years with no ill effects, but when you take it you are literally blocking DHT - the hormone that makes you male and is responsible for the majority of your sexual performance and athletic + mental health as a man. The risks vastly outweigh the benefits and tons of dudes attribute life-ruining results to it. 8. Getting on TRT before having kids TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) causes your body to stop producing sperm (though not semen, interestingly). Some of my fellow gymbros will point out that you can (partially) prevent this or restore spermatogenesis via HCG, FSH, etc, HOWEVER, that is the *ideal* scenario and the mental bandwith and emotional toll on couples in this scenario is usually vast. This is a very nuanced discussion as certainly TRT is preferable to [insert extremely bad outcome].... BUT... it is not worth it in most scenarios imo if you're still young and have not yet done your procreation-maxxing. 9. Chronic sleep deprivation To be quite honest I think this might be the worst of all the things on this list. Your body NEEDS sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation is probably the single worst thing you can do from a health perspective. 10. Giving up on your dreams You are only on this planet once. Life is unbelievably and tragically short. It is never worth it to give up on the dreams you had in your youth. Indeed it is better to try and fail at them 1000 times then to give up on them imo. Conclusion Those are the most common mistakes I see dudes make in their 20's and 30's... The silver lining is that none of them are fatal. There are always worthwhile things to do in life, and every passing moment is another chance to turn it all around. Also the information and opportunities at our disposal today are greater than any time in human history. With 2-3 years of focused intentionality you can utterly transform your life...

I’m continuing to look for arbitrage setups for you to farm yield and airdrops. @opinionlabsxyz and @Polymarket: ‘Monad market cap (FDV) one day after launch?’ >$6B Bet → No – 75c → Polymarket Bet → Yes – 19.8c → Opinion Total 94.8c Profit 5.2c – Op fee (70–150% APY) Also, keep an eye on >$4B — sometimes spreads appear there during the day as well.

Don't sell.

Found an interesting arbitrage opportunity between @opinionlabsxyz and @Polymarket. ‘US Government shutdown end by...?’ November 15 Op — No 45c Poly — Yes 45c Total — 90c 10% profit (304% APY)

Someone just sent this message to the Balancer hacker lmao

Gm While the market looks like it does in the picture I’m studying and preparing a Daily Newsletter about prediction markets so that all the alpha information is in one place. Following a very interesting project – @StreetFDN from the ICM meta tldr: it allows tokenizing parts of company shares and trading them. Farming yield from delta-neutral trades combined with perps and trading on prediction markets – the goal is to get the airdrop. Have a productive week!

For one to Win, another doesn't need to Lose Great example of this is @rektdiomedes (who writes @thedailydegenhq) From the very start he's supported and helped Linn (and many others) grow Could have seen Linn as a competitor, instead we grew the total newsletter pie and continually shared ideas and thoughts with each-other throughout the last few years If you don't already follow, 100% should: - Consistently written 7/week all throughout last bear up till now - Featured many projects way before they had huge runs - Positivity maxxing, balances out excessive negativity on CT - Supported tons of accounts at very early stages before they blew up (incl linn) disclaimer: meow

My favorite educational DeFi accounts...give these folks a follow they spend alot of time on research so you don't have to @0xCheeezzyyyy @kenodnb @rektdiomedes @eli5_defi @blocmates @twindoges @TheDeFinvestor @DeFi_Dad @Nomaticcap @phtevenstrong @monosarin @arndxt_xo @belizardd @lordjorx

CEXs are losing share to new on-chain exchanges. HyperLiquid is doing it for perps. @Terminal_fi is doing it for spot trading. Positioned as the main DEX of the Ethena ecosystem, Terminal will trade USDe, sUSDe, and USDtb (backed by BlackRock’s BUIDL fund) against major assets like ETH and BTC. It routes yield from these assets back into its liquidity pools through Yield Skimming. To turn stablecoin yield into deeper on-chain liquidity. $280M pre-deposited. 10,000 wallets. DEX launching this December.

Crypto Stuff I'm Looking At Today ... - It has now been over 1000 days since $BTC's cycle bottom in 2022 - Bitcoin Fear & Greed at 34 - Altcoin Season Index at 41 - Monad's three day airdrop reveal wraps up today (insanely grateful to have received 140k $MON thank you Keone and Intern!) - Fed cuts by 25 bps, and Trump has narrowed down list of potential Powell replacements to five candidates - QT ending and macro picture looking quite bullish - Despite poor overall crypto price action, a veritable defi renaissance continues under the surface (link below) - Circle's 'Arc' chain launches testnet - Euler hits new ATH in revenue - $ZEC absolutely surging amidst support from many big names - MetaM*sk introduces ambiguous 'rewards' campaign, and its parent org Consensy's announces IPO, with both developments eliciting criticism - $NVDA becomes first stock to ever hit $5T in market cap (all of crypto is less than $4T currently, for comparison) - MegaETH generating lots of positive discussion (link below) - $COIN earnings call this afternoon - Aave may launch large buyback program - Garden Finance suffers $5.5M exploit - See some smart friends like @DeFiMann talking about $CODEC - Maple hits $5B in AUM (link below!) - PumpFun acquires Padrea - And, finally, despite market trending sideways, airdrop opportunities continue to abound (link below!) Conclusion While price action is far from ideal I continue to be just as bulltarded as ever lads 💪 As I said previously on one of these, I'm somewhat agnostic re: directionality in the short term, but have extremely strong conviction that the bull market will be in full swing by Q2 of 2026 when Trump can finally get rates as low as he wants and the US real estate market can start thawing. Would also remind you my dear anon that it is always in times like this- when the TL gets boring and everyone gets discouraged- that the next big opportunity pops up. Is how it happened with $OHM back in summer of 2021 after the big mid-cycle crash... Defi Kingdom (I can still hear the music in my head)... FriendTech... early Hyperliquid farming... etc... So keep your eyes peeled and keep putting in those reps bros... LFG 💪 ... PS Let me know what else I should be looking at below! And please RT if you enjoyed!

The 6 Biggest Mistakes I See Dudes Make In Crypto ... 1. Bad opsec generally (clicking bad links, signing transactions when tired or distracted, searching for defi protocols on google, etc) 2. Keeping all funds on one single wallet or one single device (similar to above but slightly different, as you can have great opsec but still lose it all instantly if you don't have your funds distributed) 3. Over-reliance on perps to express directionality (we saw this on 10/10 when tons of alts flash-crashed down 80%) 4. Being overly idealistic (is becoming a 'true believer' for one single community and acting more like a cult member than an investor, general bag-holding, etc) 5. Being overly cynical (the opposite of the above - where you are constantly finding reasons to be bearish and reasons to fade new stuff that pops up, and therefore miss out on all potential gains due to cynicism) 6. 'Myth-Making' (ie you get so obsessed with an investment thesis and are so incapable of admitting that you were wrong about it that you end up constructing an entire complex worldview purely to support said thesis, when in reality you'd be better off just admitting you were wrong and moving on with different investments) ... I have made nearly all of these mistakes myself at various times... Lots of other potential mishaps as well but these are the ones I notice the most after my years in the space :)

This could happen much sooner than people think. There are 500 suitable sites around the world. That’s $1 quadrillion GDP.
