Ben Affleck says losing his parents taught him that resentment and petty disputes waste your life, while unresolved relationships never repair themselves with time
“One of the lessons for me was, at the end of life, what isn’t remembered or valued and just doesn’t matter is all the stupid little shit. Whatever it is—the internecine thing, the work conflict, the petty dispute, the shit we get involved in with ourselves, the little resentments, the time you spent being offended—that shit is just a waste of time.
“As much as you can let it go, I think that’s so clearly the way to try to live. If you don’t do it, if you don’t fix it, if you don’t resolve it, it’s not just going to happen with time.”
Jon Gruden reveals Al Davis would walk into his office, draw the punt protection and quiz him on the Chargers' third corner, and says if he didn't have the answers Davis was like a freaking Doberman
"With fear. He scared the hell out of me a lot of the times, but you know, he taught me about reading, writing, and arithmetic. He says every day you can't just talk about your offense. You got to talk about our defensive line play, our fourth quarter pass rush. You got to know personnel."
"He would ask you, Who's the third corner for the Chargers? And you better know who it is. You better learn how to attack personnel on the other team, not just using your schemes."
"But he's the only guy that I ever met that could walk into your office and draw the punt protection and ask you what the calls were."
"He really challenged me to think outside the box and learn things that I didn't really have to learn or think about learning before. And if I didn't know the answers, he was like a freaking Doberman, man."

This is where the CEO of Flock, apparently lives. He promotes mass surveillance and says he doesn't want to get publicly exposed.

🚨 Roy Keane on Argentina vs. Egypt:
“Once is a mistake. Twice, maybe. But when it keeps happening, you have to start asking questions. An Argentina player appeared to slap an Egypt player, and the referee ignored it. There was a foul in the penalty area—at least go and review it.
That’s what VAR is there for. If you’re only reviewing incidents for one team, then what’s the point? It felt like Argentina started the game with an advantage before a ball was even kicked, and that’s the referee. That’s not how football should work.”

I knew Ping was an obvious fade this week because what happened on Binance was going to have repercussions in the following days to weeks.
If you had paid attention, Wintermute was openly stating that Binance fucked them with aggressive ADL at prices that didn’t make sense & WM couldn’t have been the only MM that was screwed over.
Market makers hold spot long & go short perps so no matter what way a coin moves they do not lose or make money. Instead they make money by routing trades, arbitraging across CEXs, & taking a small cut every time you buy or sell, similar to MEV.
If an exchange starts aggressively closing short positions at much higher prices, like what WM claimed, while prices rapidly nuke & they can’t re-short fast enough than they are sitting on huge losses. They then have a tough decision to make…sit on the loss & hope prices go back up or dump your bags ASAP, stop providing liquidity, & gtfo until people figure out what the hell is happening. No matter what decision the MM makes, it’s going to result in thin ass books.
WM said in the interview they did that they were still waiting to find out if they’d be compensated for the losses they took. Likely means other MM’s are waiting too because a client as big as WM would be your priority as a business. And Binance, like any business would have to sort through how much they’d be willing to compensate MM’s, ensure claims are legit, & route things through legal. It’s gonna take a while to sort out the mess, WM isn’t the only MM that operates on Binance. There are a lot of them.
People who thought last week wasn’t a big deal, you’re wrong. It was a huge deal. Some assets went to literal zero. We don’t know how much MM’s lost. MM’s taking on big losses means thinner books & thinner books in a market that already struggles with liquidity while the President of the United States is in a trade war with China is not a recipe for Wonderful Wednesdays. And to that fact that the crypto participants who are left are down and & poor now. Many got liquidated in the chaos. There are less buyers now than there were. The wealth effect is now gone. Crypto natives have been reduced to Haitians.
I agree with WM that what happened impacts shitcoins far worse than it does BTC & majors. Binance has lost a ton of trust and deserves your scorn. I don’t know if it was on purpose or just a big mistake, but the point remains they cannot be trusted.
Sorry Ping. At least you put your nuts on the table.

The difference between capitalist and socialist promises is reality itself.
Capitalism tells you the truth even when it’s uncomfortable. It says success must be earned, that life isn’t fair, and that no one owes you a living. It doesn’t promise ease; it promises the freedom to rise as high as your effort and ability take you. Its promises have weight because they rest on cause and effect, not wish and decree.
Socialism, by contrast, thrives on comforting lies. It tells you you’re entitled to what others produce, that envy is justice, and that the laws of economics and human nature can be ignored if you shout loud enough. It pretends scarcity, effort, and consequence can be voted away.
Capitalism is honest about cost and reward. Socialism denies both, until reality collects the debt.

Please be gentle. Losing a good portion of this years gains is personally devastating. This is not what I wanted to be remembered for. And it won't be. I've never been liquidated before. But I've never traded through ETH flash crashing over $1,000 in a short amount of time before, either.
Going to go get some comfort from my wife, take a deep breath, allow myself 24 hours tops to grieve, and then figure out how to rebuild. This life has beaten me down so many times, my journey has never been easy. But I've never given up, and ultimately always come out on top. This time will be no different.
Much love to all of you. Let's regroup and write this comeback story.
Superb performance . More ensured of Hypeliquid after today.
During the recent market volatility, the Hyperliquid blockchain had zero downtime or latency issues despite record traffic and volumes. HyperBFT consensus and execution handled the spike in throughput gracefully.
This was an important stress test proving that Hyperliquid's decentralized and fully onchain financial system can be robust and scalable. The system's risk and margining implementation functioned as designed, ensuring platform solvency throughout the extreme volatility.
