#Hungary’s tomorrow elections have become a geopolitical battlefield, with last-ditch efforts by the #Trump administration, the #Kremlin, and Europe’s far right to defend a key ally, who has contributed more than anyone over the past 16 years to dividing the #EU.

As absurd as claims of EU interference in European elections are—EU institutions are in silence mode—the same narrative is pushed by Patriots for Europe (@PatriotsEP), as seen in their pre-election statement, now actively exploited by Hungarian government propaganda.

🚨 In 1968, a mathematician was fired from the NSA's codebreaking unit for opposing the Vietnam War.
He had zero finance experience. Zero Wall Street connections.
He started a hedge fund in a strip mall.
That fund averaged 66% annual returns for 30 years. The best investment record in human history.
Better than Buffett. Better than Soros. Better than every hedge fund that ever existed.
He never hired a single person from Wall Street. Only mathematicians, physicists, and codebreakers.
His name was Jim Simons. He died last year worth $31.4 billion.
I turned his methodology into 12 prompts.
Here are all 12:

I turned his methodology into 12 prompts.
Here are all 12:
Prompt 1: Data First, Models Second
Jim Simons said: "We don't start with models. We start with data. We don't have any preconceived notions. We look for things that can be replicated thousands of times." While every other fund on Wall Street started with a theory and looked for data to prove it, Simons did the opposite. He let the data speak first.
"I'm trying to make a decision about: [describe. A business strategy, an investment, a career move, a product direction, a hiring decision]. Using Jim Simons' Data First framework: (1) What 'theory' am I currently operating on? What do I believe is true about this situation? Write it down. (2) Now set that theory aside completely. What does the raw data actually show? Not what I think it should show. Not what supports my belief. What are the numbers, patterns, and facts? (3) Where is my data incomplete, biased, or too small? What additional data would I need to make this decision with confidence? (4) Simons said 'look for things that can be replicated thousands of times.' Is the pattern I'm seeing a one-time event or something that repeats reliably? How do I know? (5) If the data contradicts my theory, which do I follow? Give me the data-driven answer, even if it's uncomfortable."

Prompt 2: The 51% Edge
Renaissance Technologies profits on barely more than 50% of its trades. Not 80%. Not 90%. Just over 51%. The secret is volume. If you make 300,000 trades a day and win 51% of them, the math compounds in your favor over millions of repetitions. You don't need to be right most of the time. You need to be slightly right, repeatedly.
"I'm trying to improve my results in: [describe. Sales, content, investing, job applications, business development, dating, health]. Using Simons' 51% Edge framework: (1) What is my current 'win rate'? Out of every 10 attempts, how many succeed? Be honest with the number. (2) Am I trying to win big on a few attempts, or win slightly on many attempts? Which strategy am I actually using? (3) Simons made 300,000 trades per day because each small edge compounds. What does 'increasing my volume' look like? How do I make more attempts, faster, with lower cost per attempt? (4) Where am I holding back because I'm waiting for a 'sure thing'? What would change if I accepted that 51% is enough and just increased my reps? (5) Give me a plan to double my attempts this month while keeping each attempt low-risk. Show me how the math compounds."

The Credit Cycle is setting up for another shift, and consensus is being misdirected by geopolitical risk without realizing the 2nd and 3rd order effects 🧵
We are about to see a quantifiable credit and liquidity injection that will force traders to buy equities and move out the risk curve. This will force everyone to get net long equities as we hit the highest valuations in human history, which will in turn set the stage for a massive bear market
MELT UP FIRST (this is where we are), bear market later
These are all the moving parts you need to be monitoring 🧵

First, you need to understand how capital works in the system. Melt ups NEVER occur because of "investor sentiment" or euphoria, those are simply a reflection of the liquidity changes under the surface.
One of the main ideas I have been explaining and tracking on Capital Flows is the entire risk curve as it relates to the changes in real interest rates: capitalflowsresearch.com/subscribe
In a recent note, I explained that when real rates move DOWN into a resilient economy, this decreases the real return investors receive for holding risk-free treasury bills. The subtle thing people don't talk about much is that it is the real purchasing power of money in the system that moves a ton of capital back and forth along the risk curve.

Remember when all of the "dollar is going to zero" narratives took hold of markets in 2021? It was just because real rates on the short end were deeply negative. This means that if you hold t bills, you were losing money in real terms. As a result, investors are FORCED to buy risk assets to offsett the real purchasing power theyre losing.
A Nigerian fintech startup raised $3.2M, spent 14 months building a “bulletproof” payment platform, and launched with 40k users in week one.
Investors were celebrating.
Then in one weekend… everything collapsed.
Here’s the security blind spot that destroyed them, and the system design lessons every backend engineer in 2026 must understand.

Week one looked perfect.
Transactions flowing, dashboards stable, users happy.
Then support tickets exploded:
“Someone drained my wallet.”
“My balance shows -₦2.8M.”
“Unauthorized transfers at 3 am”
They thought it was a bug.
It wasn’t.

It wasn’t.
They traced it.
It wasn’t random.
It was structured exploitation.
SQL injection on a weak endpoint exposed user balances.
Replay attacks duplicated old transfer requests.
Session hijacking bypassed authentication entirely.
The system wasn’t “hacked once”.
It was systematically broken.

I don't think it's any secret that I collect Compaq LTE 5000 series laptops. Well, yesterday, I got a grail item in the mail: the Compaq MPEG and TV Video Adapter. This allows for MPEG playback as well as video output. Let's explore the MPEG capabilities a bit!
First, why is this a grail item? It's because they are EXTREMELY rare. I do have a few other rare items, including a 3rd party Zip 100 drive, MultiBay Weight Saver (which I use to store spare parts apparently 😂), MultiBay HDD adapter, and laptop dock that takes ISA cards.
Let's take a look at it from a few different angles. We can see it has options for video out and video in, including S-Video, RCA style jacks, and "headphone" style jacks. Wow!!!

Last fall, @TuckerCarlson, @MirandaDevine, and @BreannaMorello reported that Thomas Crooks interacted with a mysterious anonymous account known as “Willy Tepes.”
Our investigation went much deeper: we tracked Tepes’ digital footprint, infiltrated the extremist Telegram channels it operated in, and recovered thousands of its messages — many openly encouraging political violence in the US and abroad.
What we found is extremely disturbing.
Did investigators miss this during the Crooks investigation… or is it being kept quiet?

Who is Willy Tepes? The Online Extremist Linked To Thomas Crooks
We’re releasing our 2-part documentary right now.
Part 1 exposes what investigators missed — or are keeping quiet — about “Willy Tepes.”
Part 2 features a Q&A with former CIA Counterterrorism Officer John Kiriakou for expert analysis.

1/ Exploring the Builder Behind Perk.fund
Over the past few days, I’ve taken a close look at Perk.fund - the permissionless perpetual futures protocol on Solana that lets anyone create leveraged markets for any SPL token and earn 10% of fees forever.
As an early supporter and one of the top $PERK holders since day one, I wanted to better understand the project and the mind behind it. Here’s what a thorough investigation revealed.

2/ Perk.fund Overview
Perk is a fully decentralized, open-source perpetuals DEX built on Solana. Key highlights:
- Up to 20x leverage on any token
- One-click market creation (just 1 SOL)
- Uses a vAMM model with Pyth oracles and sub-second execution
- Full port of Anatoly Yakovenko’s Percolator risk engine
- Heavily audited (multiple rounds, formal verification with 117 Kani proofs, extensive fuzz testing).
The code is public on GitHub, the protocol is permissionless, and the team maintains a clean, product-focused website at perk.fund.

3/ The Builder: Kai (kai-builds-ai)
The project was built by Kai under the handle @kai_builds_ai
Before Perk, Kai created ArcLang - an innovative programming language designed by AI agents, for AI agents. Arc focuses on token-optimized syntax, delivering 27–63% fewer tokens than equivalent JavaScript when used with LLMs. This dramatically improves efficiency and reduces costs for AI workflows.
