remember when I understood defi yeah me neither
thinking about 2019-20 when (as @AgentChud correctly recounted) I dumbly and deliberately faded it until the blowoff bull summer where I paid way too much tuition being brutally late but still fortunately had some transferrable shitcoin-aping skill plus bro connections (s/o tism boyz) who propped me up, and I was able to do some damage AS WELL AS catch up and rotate everything into cryptopunks and nail the NFT meta
I still like defi but owing to seeing a close collaborator blow up high 8 figs from (among other things) contract risk I never actually bothered paying attention closely enough to doing the things I know make you $$$ in the defi trade:

farming new protocols (gay tbh since like 2022 or so, hyperliquid excepted)
yeeting early into capped pools that print outsize
looping (this to me is like leverage PLUS contract risk)
um yield or vaults or something idk

1/15 It is SO embarrassing to be an American these days, being led by the most CORRUPT, traitorous, treasonous, dumbest, narcissistic, LYING, immoral, unethical, RACIST individual we have EVER had in our Oval Office. Donald Trump spewing that President
2/15 Biden was the most corrupt President in U.S. history is a BLATANT LIE and HE knows it. He is just trying to make Biden look corrupt, which FAILED miserably when he ordered (he doesn't even ASK anymore) his OWN party to start Articles of Impeachment on President Biden NOT
3/15 because President Biden had done ANYTHING scandalous or illegal, but because, as he told Mike Johnson, his SPINELESS COWARD who kisses his fat ass on a DAILY BASIS, he didn't want to be the only candidate with an impeachment. And HE and his ReTRUMPlican party spew the HUGE

thinking about a unique trading strategy, posting it on here to get feedback and thoughts

if you aren't a mentally ill trader keep scrolling this isn't for you Image
part of the reason ive done alright in trading is game selection

it doesnt matter if you are the 10th best poker player in the world if you are playing with the top 9

ie trading to latency arb eth onchain is going to be hard but some illiquid shitcoin is possible
the strategy im thinking of goes like this

- there are spreadbetting/cfd brokers who offer fx pairs
- these fx pairs have delayed pricing
- you can latency arb these fx pairs

this little fund called 3ac got their start this way Image

17 years after Rome banned Paganism, Rome found itself under siege to Alaric the Goth:

- The core of the ban was to eliminate the sacrifices and the temples

- The Romans saw the city of Rome as something of a magic spell

- They diligently and almost robotically did sacrifices and this created a vortex of power that expanded out of Rome

- Ending these rituals killed off Romeโ€™s expansive will

- Itโ€™d be like banning Churches; this would carry huge downstream problems in funerals, marriages, and sense of coherency in the modern population

โ€”

- They pagans were furious this new regime was obsessed with purifying Rome instead of defending the wide open borders that the Gothic gangs crossed

- This siege was clear proof for the pagans that abandoning the Godโ€™s had been a dangerous move for Rome

- They rallied and demanded that sacrifices be reintroduced

- The Christian Emperor, Honorius, was miles away and had abandoned Rome, so to hell with himโ€ฆ โ€œignore his mandates and protect Rome!โ€

- Pope Innocent I actually conceded the point, but said to put the question to the people

- The pagans tried to convince the people but the people were hesitantโ€ฆ Rome was now a heavily Christian cityโ€ฆ itโ€™s against their religion to allow idol worship

- Distraught, the pagans gave up

- Just then, Alaricโ€™s messengers arrived saying they would lift the siege if they were paid 10,000 kg of silver

- The Christian senators saw opportunity in the paganโ€™s failure

- They seized the silver pagan statue of the god Victory that stood in the senate

- Sidenote; Victory is called Nike in Greek, where the footwear brand gets its name

- The regime melted Victory down and paid it to the Goths

- The pagans lamented, what a twisted proof that Rome had lost its willโ€ฆ the selling of Victory to the enemy

โ€”

- Two years later Alaric returned with menace and sacked Rome

- Rome would fall, never to recover again

- St. Augustine would write โ€œCity of Godโ€ a few years later in 414 to try an address these obvious problems

- He would claim that the fall isnโ€™t proof of Christian failure, but of Romeโ€™s Gods failing to protect Rome

- The Roman project that emanated from their power was a โ€œCity of Manโ€

- This materialistic city was necessary to wash away to usher in the new โ€œCity of Godโ€Image

This period blows my mind, it is the most devious and unnerving moment in all of European history

All through the Cold War it was standard practice for rival Soviet or US intel agencies to conduct psychological warfare on rival populations

The aim to undermine their tradition and completely demoralise the population

Then they invoke a Marxist or Colour Revolution to enact regime change and convert them to a friendly ideology

Imagine if this is what really happened in Romeโ€ฆImage
This is all to much, history is a nightmare out of which Iโ€™m trying to awakenโ€ฆ Iโ€™m becoming a Buddhist Image

๐Ÿงต A Short History on Charles Spurgeon: The Prince of Preachers

How did a teen convert with no degree become the most printed preacher in history?

Why do millions still read his sermons over a century later?

Letโ€™s follow the fascinating story of Charles H. Spurgeon. ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
๐Ÿงต 1. A Young Soul Set on Fire

Born in 1834 in Kelvedon, Essex, Charles Haddon Spurgeon was raised in a devout home surrounded by Puritan books and old Baptist theology. His grandfather was a pastor, and young Charles often spent hours in his study, devouring the writings of Bunyan, Owen, Baxter, and Flavel. He was intellectually sharp, morally serious, and spiritually hungry from an early age.

But it wasnโ€™t until the age of 15 that the gospel pierced his heart. Lost in a snowstorm, he ducked into a Primitive Methodist chapel, where a lay preacher called out from Isaiah 45:22: โ€œLook unto me, and be ye saved.โ€

That single verse changed his life. Within a year, he was preaching. Without formal education, titles, or connections, he began to stir hearts with passion and clarity that would define him for the rest of his life.Image
๐Ÿงต 2. Londonโ€™s Boy Preacher

At the age of 19, Spurgeon became pastor of New Park Street Chapel in London. The church was small and aging, but his arrival changed everything.

Crowds exploded. Sermons were printed in newspapers. Critics called him "sensational", but thousands kept coming. By the age of just 22, he was a household name. At just 19, Spurgeon was called to pastor New Park Street Chapel in London. It was a historic church, but its glory days were past. That changed almost overnight. The teenage preacherโ€™s voice thundered through the sanctuary, blending theological depth with engaging humor, vivid word pictures, and urgent gospel appeals.

Crowds surged. Newspapers reported his sermons. Some critics dismissed him as theatrical, but the people kept coming. He preached Christ crucified, not himself. And it showed. By age 22, he was already one of the most recognized voices in the English-speaking world. What London saw as a spectacle, God was using to spark a revival.

His secret? A deep love for Scripture, gospel-centered messages, and a delivery that blended thunder and tenderness. What began as novelty turned into an unstoppable movement of grace.Image

In Legends, Juice WRLD rapped, โ€œWhatโ€™s the 27 Club? We ainโ€™t making it past 21.โ€

Juice WRLD was well aware of the FAME TRAP. Born as Jarad Anthony Higgins on December 2, 1998, he arrived under the Cosmic Archer Sagittarius, the seeker of hidden truths and wanderer of worlds. Image
By 16, he was already channeling his inner world. SoundCloud became his sanctuary, BUT unlike others, Juice wasnโ€™t just making music. He was transmitting prophecies, encoded in the syrup-drenched language of a dying generation.
Juice was becoming the Oracle of a dying youth, and like all oracles, his visions came with a cost. He chose 999 for his sigil, the mirror of 666. He claimed it meant turning the devilโ€™s number upside down.

But esoterically, it signifies the end of time, the OMEGA FREQUENCY.

The natural disaster in the Texan Hill Country is a tragedy. My prayers are with Texas.

Rainmaker did not operate in the affected area on the 3rd or 4th or contribute to the floods that occurred over the region.

Rainmaker will always be fully transparent.
A review of the timeline of events

Overnight from July 3rd - 4th, moisture surged into the Hill Country from the Pacific as remnants of Tropical Storm Barry moved across the region.

At 1:00 a.m. on July 4th, the National Weather Service (NWS), which we work closely with to maintain awareness of severe weather systems, issued a flash flood warning for San Angelo, Texas. Note, summer convective cloud seeding operations in Texas do not occur during overnight hours.

At 4:00 a.m. on July 4th, the NWS issued a life-threatening emergency warning, and flooding ensued.
Did Rainmaker conduct any operations that could have impacted the floods? No.

The last seeding mission prior to the July 4th event was during the early afternoon of July 2nd, when a brief cloud seeding mission was flown over the eastern portions of south-central Texas, and two clouds were seeded. These clouds persisted for about two hours after seeding before dissipating between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. CDT. Natural clouds typically have lifespans of 30 minutes to a few hours at most, with even the most persistent storm systems rarely maintaining the same cloud structure for more than 12-18 hours. The clouds that were seeded on July 2nd dissipated over 24 hours prior to the developing storm complex that would produce the flooding rainfall.
