Gonna just come out and say it: NFTs are literally the worst thing to invest in. No market makers. No liquidity. No utility. No intrinsic value. Zero institutional participation. Nothing. Extreme saturation. Retail FOMO. It’s the most dangerous market on earth. Tread carefully!

My SVB experience: 6 months ago, we realized we were spending a lot of money on wire transfers. Five figs/year. Being a responsible biz, we started looking into ways to cut the expense. 3 months ago, we reached out to an old contact at SVB to explore a relationship. They offered a beefy rate on savings balance plus free wires. We were happy and took it. Last month, we completed opening accounts and moved 35% of our savings balance to them. We had plans to move more, but our current bank got wind of it, and matched the wire pricing which saved us a lot of administrative work. So we put moving on hold for a bit, although we planned to eventually move our full savings to SVB for interest rates, and keep our operating accounts where they were since wires were no longer an issue. Last night, I heard about the SVB drama, and immediately tried to transfer money out. That wire is still listed as pending even now. Also tried to do an internal transfer between entities within SVB, and that is also stuck "im progress" and never went through. This morning I woke up early and spent almost 4 hours trying to get through to them on the phone. Their lines were down, fast busy, then when I finally got into the PBX system, I was on hold for hours. Even called in from two different lines, no one outside of card services would pickup. When I got through, it was only to someone on their credit card side, where I'd ask for a transfer. There was a pretty rad moment of levity that occurred during one of the calls. The card services lady picked up and apologized for the long holds. "Sorry for the long hold. Our website is having some issues and our phones are going crazy because of it." "That's not why your phones are going crazy. Look at the news. SVB is going out of business right now. Transfer me to SMB banking support please now" "Uhh... Ohhh... let me try to transfer you to banking support" Another long hold with no answer occurred during which I got the news alert about SVB being shut down by Cali Bank Regulators and the FDIC. What a day. We had six figures there and it was above the FDIC limit. We'll be OK, it was savings, not operating capital, and we'll probably get our money back or at minimum a good sized chunk of it. I worry about other businesses that were heavier into the SVB ecosystem. Some could not even try to move per their loan covenants. One friend's company had $5m there. They were trying to wire it out this morning without luck. I know others, too, in total three people I know have business accounts with 7 or 8 figure balances at SVB. What a Friday.

Well, the difference is: Trump CAMPAIGNED on this, PROMISED it to his voters, and then just told them that the list doesn't exist and not to worry about it. Trump voters have EVERY right to be upset. Democrats never campaigned on releasing any Epstein stuff... Trump did. You guys should take responsibility for this instead of trying to deflect it onto democrats who have nothing to do with this.

there is an unmistakable difference between how illinois state troopers treat the protestors and how the feds do... implies their mission is as much to protect the protestors as it is to protect the feds. if protestors are arrested by the state, they also will be treated much more fairly, their charges won't be unjustly escalated to felonies. i realize him sending the ISP in is unpopular - but its obvious that pritzker is trying to thread a needle here and its a tough one

Last night while walking around LA with my kids, I had a random idea for an indicator. What if you could take all major momentum oscillators (RSI, MACD, etc.) and combine them. They all have slightly different methodologies and there are a lot of them. When I got back to the airbnb and the kids finally went to bed, I had @TrendSpider's integrated AI coder build it for me. It's pretty cool. Check it out. It takes a bunch of indicators, and runs them concurrently. Then, it takes their readings and lets them "vote". When X (you define) of them read overbought or oversold, it will print arrows on your chart. They each get an equal vote. The number represents how many of the indicators read in that direction. MACD, RSI, PPO, MFI, CCI, Stochastic RSI, Fischer Transform, CMO, KST, SMO, Aroon, Awesome Oscillator, SMAs, Bollinger %B, and some SMAs. You can adjust the settings for each indicator and control what defines a consensus, you can also disable repeating signals. If I could build this in 10 minutes without writing a single line of code, you can build indicators, too, all the same. I'm NOT a programmer. I suck at coding. Link to the indicator with full source code in next tweet. Enjoy.

With respect, I think people are generally tired of gimmicky pointless gadgets to carry around. Not every idea needs to be made. Just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s valuable. I seriously question why anyone would build this. I don’t say that to be disrespectful. I just don’t get it. And i should - I’m a tech early adopter. Tesla since 2013. Waited in line for the first iPhone for hours and hours. Life long tech Entrepeneur with 5 startups under my belt. And yet I look at this and cringe. Physically cringe. I wouldn’t be caught dead with this around my neck…. It’s like wearing a sign around your neck that says “I am lonely and have no one to talk to”. It’s just striking us as dystopian. No other word comes close to explaining the reaction you are getting. That’s why.
