How Dan Zanger Turned $10k into $42M๐Ÿ’ฐ

๐ŸงตA Thread Image
1. Imagine turning $10,775 into $42,000,000 in less than 2 years.

Sounds impossible?

Thatโ€™s exactly what Dan Zanger did during the dot-com boom.
2. In one year alone, he made 29,000% return.
Thatโ€™s $18 million in 12 months.
He still holds the record for the biggest single-year gain in history.

The @TheDemocrats needs to wake the hell up.
They need voices and faces that can actually reach all 50 states and that people actually recognize.
They need real ideas and alternatives, not just constantly trying to point out how idiotic this administration's policies are

and calling out the lies and BS from #DonaldTrump and his lapdogs, goons, and cronies.
They need to talk about and show some solutions for the issues that #Trump weaponizes in populist and totally wrong ways to win over supporters.
Yeah, because even though some of the stuff

he pushes and topics he rants about are rooted in racism, bigotry, ego-tripping, in a cartoon-level politics, ร  la Mayor Quimby, that doesn't mean the problems aren't real.
They are, and they need proper alternatives and answers.
These can't be off-limits or taboo topics.

1/ Recent DeFi launches followed a surprisingly narrow GTM playbook. We analyzed large-scale protocol launches to understand what actually drove early TVL and why most of it failed to persist. @gleb0x
@iholdspot Image
2/ Across cycles, early traction was not driven by product readiness. It was driven by GTM design: capital coordination, narrative timing, and mechanisms that minimized perceived risk while maximizing upside.
3/ Three GTM pillars dominated recent launches:
โ€ข Risk curators for scaling
โ€ข Yield / OTC syndicates for launch liquidity
โ€ข Low-risk pre-deposit vaults for early TVL Image

You have now made it to the 9th post of #scanuary.

It's a month-long marathon of daily tweetorials about #POCUS & its uses

Today we're going to discuss ocular PoCUS

If you find the post useful, please like & retweet Image
๐ŸŒŸLet's start with a case as always

53 yr old pt with T2DM has been getting worsening blurring of vision over last 8 months but last night suddenly everything went dark and now she cannot see from her left
No history of trauma or pain in the eye

OE Visual acuity is reduced to fingers

You had learnt about ophthalmoscopy in medical school so you try to examine the posterior chamber of the eye

BUT

There is a cataract which does not allow you to look beyond the lens

You have slit lamp but do not know how to perform post chamber exam with the pris.Image
โญ๏ธThis is where ocular PoCUS can help

Ocular PoCUS helps to assess most of the acute ocular conditions in the ED.

Admittedly, it does not allow grading of retinal vessels for hypertensive changes or uveitis but allows assessment of the following conditions with better accuracy

#Excerpts
Introduction to โ€œControlled Rebellionโ€ by Carli Frueh

Close your eyes and imagine that beneath the chaotic hum of X and Facebook โ€” those digital coliseums where voices clash and hashtags reign, lurks a subtler game. These platforms, pulsing with the raw energy of
millions might not just be arenas of free expression but stages for controlled rebellions, orchestrated with the precision of a maestroโ€™s baton. Imagine the algorithms as invisible puppeteers, tugging strings to amplify a trending rant while quietly burying a dissenting whisper.
Shadow-banning, visibility tweaks, bot-driven swells of likesโ€”tools of a trade that could, theoretically, turn a wildfire of defiance into a neatly tended bonfire, its flames high enough to dazzle but never hot enough to burn the house down.

Within NATO, the possibility of conducting a special joint mission in Greenland is being considered in order to accommodate the interests of US President Donald Trump. This week, the US president once again stated that he wants Greenland. Military intervention is not being

It took place in a "calm atmosphere." Denmark raised the Greenland issue in a "positive and forward-looking manner," NOS insiders reported. The US ambassador to NATO, Whitaker, also reportedly spoke in a conciliatory tone. As became clear during the meeting, almost all

Ironically, this post is propaganda - Those images are from 2 entirely different cities.

1. The "Zoom Out" video was taken in Tehran (Geo: 35.726468, 51.322978).
2. The "Zoom In" video was taken in Mashhad (Geo: 36.327939, 59.498942).

How did I geolocate them? A ๐Ÿงต
@GeoConfirmedImage
1. First, I used Google Lens on both images to see what results I could get to confirm whether the OP was being truthful or not.
I found 1 X account claiming the "Zoom Out (Now ZO) video was from "Kashani Street". For the "Zoom In" (ZI) video, I saw a comment saying "Mashhad".
2. This doesn't mean either OP were telling the truth - but it was a start.

For the longer version of the ZO video I had several details:
1. A garden.
2. A small street turning onto a main one.
3. Slanted buildings inwards (2)

So, I just followed the street till I found a match:

Tony Blairโ€™s sister-in-law Lauren Booth who converted to Islam called October 7 โ€œlegendaryโ€ and claimed it would make millions โ€œaccept Islamโ€. Thus typifying the INSANE radicalisation of the privileged. Gross.

Story by @NatalieLisbona โฌ‡๏ธ
Lauren Booth โ€˜defendsโ€™ herself by ranting about the Israeli government controlling the Daily Mail and wishing for the โ€œend of the evils of Zionismโ€. Not helping your case Lauren.

Russia is not preparing for the end of the war, it is preparing for a long confrontation. We see an intense war of attrition with scientific and technological progress. And last night's shelling is another confirmation of that. Image

In this confrontation, it is impossible to survive without the development of innovations and technologies. And only in close cooperation with Western partners. To stop the deaths and deprive the enemy of the desire to fight again.
Condolences to all who have lost their relatives and loved ones.

SPECIAL UPDATE.

So much to update on, yet so little time today, as we try to handle a crisis for a disabled couple, their 4 year old son and their two dogs.
But first, I have to thank a regular donor, who has not only donated the R700 we required to paydocs.google.com/document/d/1B-โ€ฆ
our rental for the Rehab Recovery Rooms in full but has also donated almost half of what we require to accommodate the couple I mentioned above.

We were alerted to a situation in Bellvilleโ€™s notorious โ€œKAMPโ€ adjacent to the Bellville station and where the
Bellville Haven Night Shelter used to be.
This KAMP, which I have reported on before, is controlled by the criminal element and gangsters.
These people prey on the already desperate. They will โ€œallowโ€ people like the disabled couple we are referring to to build a hokkie on these

Trump claims he doesnโ€™t need international law and could sacrifice NATO for Greenland.

That is false as a matter of US law.

NATO is not just a political arrangement.

It is a ratified treaty and binding federal law under the US Constitution.

#USLAW #SCOTUS
A US president cannot legally violate #NATO, attack or coerce an ally, or withdraw from the alliance unilaterally.

Congress controls:
โ€“ treaty commitments
โ€“ war powers
โ€“ defense funding

In fact, US law now explicitly bars NATO withdrawal without Senate approval.
Any attempt to seize Greenland against Denmarkโ€™s will would be:
โ€“ a breach of NATO
โ€“ a breach of the 1951 USโ€“Denmark agreement
โ€“ a violation of US federal law

It would trigger a constitutional crisis at home, not a lawful act of presidential power.
