5 ways to improve your OPSEC in a couple hours this weekend:
- buy @Yubico’s Yubikeys to replace insecure 2FA
- sign up for @optery to have your personal info removed from data broker sites (I also have a discount code for anyone who wants it)
- set up a new Gmail that isn’t tied to your name or shared with anyone. Use this email for your banking, CEX accounts, password manager etc
- get a virtual mailbox set up to receive packages and mail somewhere other than at home
- set up a 2nd phone number just to have on accounts where you can’t get rid of SMS 2FA (like your Apple ID)
Any one of these things will measurably improve your personal security and they all can get knocked out in a couple hours
You could bookmark this and do one task each weekend through November and be in great shape. Don’t be overwhelmed, just get started!

If you don't "go for it," you will feel the pain in your 40s. It will be depressing. No sense in lying. If you failed, that stings less. And you usually figure it out via iterating. Knowing you didn't even try, when time is accelerating (goes faster with each decade)...

Threadguy explains why nobody is giving altcoins the respect they deserve for how high they can go
"I think the targets for Hyperliquid, Zcash, Venice, Lighter, maybe Pump, are unfathomably high. They're ridiculously high and I don't think anyone really appreciates how crazy it can get because again it's a cycle where there's only a few things to buy and the few things to buy are really good."
"It's been 4 or 5 years since a non-meme altcoin has rerated what you thought was possible for how high a coin can go. 2024 it was only the memes. 2023 nothing. 2022 NFTs. You have to go back to 2021 and the L1 trade to find the last time an altcoin that isn't a meme coin just completely shattered expectations. There's way too many HYPE to $150 takes and not nearly enough HYPE to $500. Way too much Venice to $40 and not enough Venice to $200. I don't think these alts are getting respected enough for how stupidly high they can go."

Big Short investor Steve Eisman says the AI labs know they have no moats and are manufacturing a crisis to get regulation that hands them a duopoly
"I think this is all nonsense."
[ You think it's all nonsense? ]
"All nonsense. I think that there's something else completely going on here. ... What I think is happening is that token maxing is over. The open weight models are taking big market share. I think these companies are very nervous. They realize that there are no moats around their business whatsoever, and they're trying to manufacture a crisis that will create regulation, and that they think they can then manipulate to create the moats, to create the duopoly that they want."
[ Wow. ]
"That's what I think is going on."
"Honestly, I think this whole Terminator thing is garbage. That's for sure."

Worth the read every year. #neverforget
Todd: Hello… Operator…listen to me…I can’t speak very loud. – This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco.. We have a situation here….Our plane has been hijacked…..can you understand me?
Lisa: (exhaling a deep breath to herself) I understand… Can the hijackers see you talking on the phone?
Todd: No
Lisa: Can you tell me how many hijackers are on the plane?
Todd: There are three that we know of.
Lisa: Can you see any weapons? What kind of weapons do they have?
Todd: Yes…. they don’t have guns….they have knives – they took over the plane with knives.
Lisa: Do you mean…like steak knives?
Todd: No, these are razor knives…like box cutters.
Lisa: Can you tell what country these people are from?
Todd: No…..I don’t know. They sound like they’re from the mid-east.
Lisa: Have they said what they want?
Todd: Someone announced from the cockpit that there was a bomb on board. He said he was the captain and to stay in our seats and stay quiet.
He said that they were meeting these men’s demands and returning to the airport… It was very broken English, and… I’m telling you…it sounded fake!
Lisa: Ok sir, please give me your name.
Todd: My name is Todd Beamer.
Lisa: Ok Todd….my name is Lisa…Do you know your flight number? If you can’t remember, it’s on your ticket.
Todd: It’s United Flight 93.
Lisa: Now Todd, can you try to tell me exactly what happened?
Todd: Two of the hijackers were sitting in first class near the cockpit. A third one was sitting near the back of the coach section. The two up. front got into the cockpit somehow; there was shouting. The third hijacker said he had a bomb. It looks like a bomb. He’s got it tied to his waist with a red belt of some kind.
Lisa: So is the door to the cockpit open?
Todd: No, the hijackers shut it behind them.
Lisa: Has anyone been injured?
Todd: Yes, ..they…they killed one passenger sitting in first class. There’s been lots of shouting. We don’t know if the pilots are dead or alive. A flight attendant told me that the pilot and copilot had been forced from the cockpit and may have been wounded.
Lisa: Where is the 3rd hijacker now Todd?
Todd: He’s near the back of the plane. They forced most of the passengers into first class. There are fourteen of us here in the back. Five are flight attendants. He hasn’t noticed that I slipped into this pantry to get the phone. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor in the rear of the plane……….oh Jesus.. Help!
Lisa: Todd….are you ok? Tell me what’s happening!
Todd: Hello…..We’re going down….I think we’re going to crash……Wait – wait a minute. No, we’re leveling off….we’re ok. I think we may be turning around…..That’s it – we changed directions. Do you hear me….we’re flying east again.
Lisa: Ok Todd…. What’s going on with the other passengers?
Todd: Everyone is… really scared. A few passengers with cell phones have made calls to relatives. A guy, Jeremy, was talking to his wife just before the hijacking started. She told him that hijackers had crashed two planes into the World Trade Center……Lisa is that true??
Lisa: Todd…..I have to tell you the truth…..it’s very bad. The World Trade Center is gone. Both of the towers have been destroyed.
Todd: Oh God —help us!
Lisa: A third plane was taken over by terrorists. It crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC. Our country is under attack….and I’m afraid that your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh dear God. Dear God…….Lisa, will you do something for me?
Lisa: I’ll try….if I can….Yes.
Todd: I want you to call my wife and my kids for me and tell them what’s happened. Promise me you’ll call..
Lisa: I promise – I’ll call.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No verbatim transcript of Todd Beamer's call with Lisa Jefferson exists, as the conversation was not recorded and the text includes fabricated dialogue.

You will overshoot your number
Your age doesn’t compound
Life comes in phases of things you can do
Have an age where you want to be done. Not a dollar number. Suddenly retirement calculators are meaningless

The market turns green for few days and suddenly the timeline is euphoric again, everyone posting their gains, everyone an expert.
Let me offer a different, more useful take: how to make the most out of the next 12 months.
First, understand where we are. This is the very beginning, not the end. When the timeline gets loud you assume it's a top signal, but the real top is when your barber, your Uber driver and your mom are asking which coin to buy. We are nowhere near that.
The single biggest mistake you can make right now is letting your bear market scars make your decisions for you.
After more than a year of everything bleeding, your instincts are broken. Every green candle feels like the top. Every 2x feels like a gift you need to grab before it disappears. So you sell, you take the small win, you feel relief, and then you watch the thing you sold do another 10x without you.
That's not risk management. That's just bear ptsd, and it will cost you this entire cycle.
In a bear market you're rewarded for caution. In a bull market you're rewarded for conviction. The hardest part is flipping your brain from one mode to the other at the right time, and most people flip far too late.
A few things that actually help:
Hold your highest conviction positions through the volatility. Your winners can run longer than you might think. Don't rotate out of a 3x into some "cheaper" play and miss the 20x.
But holding doesn't mean never taking profit. Have a plan for both directions before emotion decides for you. Sell on a plan, never on fear.
Trust the teams that shipped through the entire bear. Be far more careful with the ones that only appeared last week.
And accept that you will miss things. Coins you looked at will 50x without you. Let them go. Chasing what you missed is exactly how you buy tops.
You survived the longest bear market, which was the most difficult part. But now it’s time to make the most out of it.
Having said that, enjoy it. You earned what’s ahead of us.

A lot was covered today on @notthreadguy charts, TA, price predictions, as well as hitting goals, and moving on to bigger ones after. Here's a clip about that

Most people have to be in every trade. vs just waiting for good trades. You don't actually have to take bad trades, or trade in crappy environments. You can leave the big drawdowns to others and step in when they make big enough mistakes. Its why you see me disappear for months at a time. And come back when I think the market is at or near a bottom. Been this way for years.
you actually don't have to take trades that aren't good or when conditions aren't what you want.
You can literally just wait for good trades, make a lot of money over a few month period, and then do nothing while others get chopped and call bottoms.
know when to play offense, defense, and when to take good tactical trades by waiting for others to make mistakes.

Der 100-Jahre-Plan für den Aktienmarkt
Wenn du dir die letzten 100 Jahre anschaust, siehst du ein klares Muster: Der Markt wiederholt immer wieder die gleichen Zyklen. Seit der Großen Depression 1930 gab es drei große Abwärtsphasen und drei Aufwärtsphasen .
Wir stecken gerade mitten im dritten großen Bullenmarkt.
Die schlechten Zeiten (Bärenmärkte)
Diese Phasen dauerten meistens etwa 9 Jahre (die Weltwirtschaftskrise von 1930 war mit 12 Jahren eine Ausnahme). Ein typisches Zeichen war, dass der Markt zweimal oben und zweimal unten „anklopfte“, bevor es wieder aufwärts ging. Oft krachte der Kurs bis zu einer bestimmten langfristigen Linie (dem 300er-Schnitt im Monatschart) und startete von dort aus neu durch.
Die guten Zeiten (Bullenmärkte)
Die ersten beiden großen Aufwärtsphasen dauerten jeweils 24 und 25 Jahre. Das Spannende: Sobald der Markt einmal Fahrt aufgenommen hatte, fiel er fast nie unter eine bestimmte grüne Linie (den 100er-Schnitt). Die blaue Linie (50er-Schnitt) war dabei immer die beste Chance, um günstig nachzukaufen, wenn es mal zwischendurch ruckelte.
Warum steigt der Markt so extrem?
Hinter jedem Bullenmarkt steckt eine neue Technologie:
Früher waren es industrielle Durchbrüche.
Dann kam der Internet-Boom.
Heute erleben wir den E-Commerce- und Social-Media-Boom.
Klar, irgendwann platzen diese Blasen immer, weil die Leute übertreiben. Aber die Technik bleibt! Das Internet ist nicht verschwunden, nur weil die Kurse im Jahr 2000 abgestürzt sind – es wurde zum Fundament für alles, was wir heute nutzen.
Der KI-Boom
Wir sind jetzt im zweiten Teil des aktuellen Aufschwungs, und der wird von der Künstlichen Intelligenz getrieben. Wahrscheinlich wird diese Blase um das Jahr 2034 platzen. Das wird wehtun, aber danach wird KI das feste Rückgrat unserer gesamten Wirtschaft sein.
Im Grunde sind die letzten 100 Jahre eine Kette von Erfindungen, die die Kurse immer höher treiben. Die Abstürze zwischendurch sind nur dazu da, die heiße Luft rauszulassen und Platz für neues Geld und die nächste Technologie zu machen.
Was bedeutet das für dich heute?
Wenn dieser Zyklus so läuft wie die letzten beiden, könnte der S&P 500 bis auf 17.000 Punkte steigen.
Es wird zwischendurch immer wieder Korrekturen geben. Der Zoll-Crash Anfang 2025 war so ein Moment, hat aber die wichtige blaue Linie nicht ganz berührt.
Schau auf den RSI-Anzeiger. Wenn der unter 30 fällt, ist das eine Chance des Jahrzehnts. Das ist in 100 Jahren erst sechsmal passiert – und jedes Mal war es der perfekte Zeitpunkt zum Kaufen.

Super excited to post the 1st video of a MASSIVE series I have been working on.
There will be over 30 videos in this playlist once it is complete.
I'm calling it the whiteboard series but really it's a price action trading bootcamp.
Enjoy!
