the point of an X account posting trades isn’t to deliver you exact entries & exits or have 100% hitrate
it’s simply to introduce you to potentially life changing trade ideas
who cares about their shitposts or upbringing or personality
are they posting genuine alpha or not? it’s so rare that the idea that randoms are dunking on the dude is wild

Qwerty reveals why he's happy when traders like @notthreadguy are in the same trade as he is.
"Whatever you want to say about Threadguy, he gets on a stream every single morning, and across the last six months he's longed oil, he's long $ZEC, he might have even shorted the top of oil at one moment."
"And he hits all these trades, and if Threadguy is in a trade with me, that makes me happy. That doesn't make me sad. I'm not one of those crypto ego people." - Qwerty
"Those guys are absolutely insane. I've been fortunate enough to get to know TulipKing and Malcolm; they're just smart as hell and they're tapped in. They're here every day talking like they know exactly what's going on. They know exactly what's driving the market." - Krutzky

Ansem praises Threadguy for overcoming negativity and shifting CT perception through consistent content
“the solve is kind of just like pushing through the negativity, I think Threadguy has done this actually really well”
“Threadguy got a lot of hate when all the Liber shit happened, got labeled as the Liber guy, had inside information, scammer, whatever”
“he took a step back and came back, I'm just going to do this content, you're going to see that I am genuine in what I'm talking about, I'm going to get better than all of you at it”
“he did it every day, over and over, you can see CT shift their perception on him in real time”

It’s a bit brutal but BTC is probably going to be the big winner of the AI revolution. I don’t think it will suffer any hacks, the scripting language formal verification is very advanced and work in formalizing the protocol too. Nodes running on different hardware make it very robust against hardware vulnerabilities, and their sources are probably one of the most audited code in the world. Combine that with self sovereignty which protects against political backslash from K shaped economy and acceleration of margins flowing to capital, I don’t see much else. To be honest this is my macro view but it’s a pretty grim one.

For everyone asking, here is my full $mrna dream thesis. all was recorded on the next YT vid but for u twitter folk
The dates could be off but around these days
October 4th: I wanted to speed up my stock video challenge so decided to dip my toes into options, scrolling thru my port everyone was turbo bullish on every stock except one. $MRNA, everyone and their mother could only talk about how over valued it is and how good of a short it was. All I know in stocks is that ppl complain non stop about how they got fucked. It sounds like everyone loses, and if everyone is losing, I should just fade them and it’s a lock?
Oct 5th: I decided to buy some options, far out the money decently far out strike
That night I had a dream that Moderna cured cancer and wicked to $275 in one day, my portfolio was worth $11,000,000
October 6th: they didn’t cure cancer and the stock went down so i decided to load more in
October 8th: everyone on twitter called me the biggest idiot ever, that I should go short, this gave me turbo confidence that the stock had to go up cuz again, most ppl talk like geniuses behind their -80% all time port
At this point I’m in for $250,000 on my initial 50k position
Then I started asking Claude, “what would it take to get $MRNA to $275 in the next two months????”
Claude told me that they had a big catalyst coming some meeting on the 24th reviewing their cancer trials
I figured I’d bet on the side of my dream that they would cure cancer and it would rip
Fast forward 14 days or so and the stock had ripped like 25+% all the way to my initial dreams target and it made me think, everyone knows this meeting is coming, if this news comes in anything other than 10x expectations, it’s fully priced in. The idea was that Monday it would dump regardless of how good their news was. Claude confirmed my idea. I texted my homie Tuesday night the plan to let it ride till Friday then at close flip to full port short
Everything was according to plan until Wednesday close the stock ran up 5% then fell off a cliff last 10 mins. I was working so I couldn’t do anything but I texted my friend that was the top yesterday night.
Last night I had a dream that $mrna ripped +22% today
I thought it was a sign from God that I was wrong about the top being in and that I should trust my original swap end of market on Friday plan
I checked my phone and it was giga down. My port down 200k almost had me fully in a panic, thinking, maybe the sell on the news was so obvious…. That they are selling days before the news
I got too scared that the dump would happen so soon that I’d have no capital left to flip the port short come Friday. So I decided to take the loss and at least have $500k that I can try to catch the sell on the news dump.
Went full port short under the guise that even if today is another 5% green, at least I’ll be in the position I had been seeking for a few days, confidently short going into the 24th
And the rest, is some giga stroke of luck history, the news broke early somehow????
The most likely outcome for all traders would be what I was destined for. Rock solid thesis blown up by some unlucky bs.
Lucky my panic this morning got to my head enough to break my original game plan
In hindsight, this entire saga was beyond obvious
Thanks for playing!
NOT FINANCIAL ADVISE. IM JUST LEARNING AND GAMBLING. BUT ALSO PUT SUM RESPECT ON THE THESIS.
I got full receipts of every concept along the way, to be posted in the next yt vid. (After I full port SPY 0DTE

every day we log on to twitter dot com to argue with each other about what useless internet currency will go up or down
countless days of our lives just scrolling, but I wouldn't have it any other way

Tay says you probably shouldn’t ever panic about AI hacks
“Honestly, you probably shouldn’t ever panic. It’s usually worse to panic. If you’re in crypto, you probably know this, right? When the market starts to crash, don’t go catch the falling knife. It’s the same with security. If you panic, it usually gets worse.”
“When you’re not in a panic state, when you’re in a controlled, calm state, think about all the different assets you have. Think about how you can secure those, but also how you can diversify those to be secured by different methods.”
“You don’t want to get hacked and have your entire net worth wiped out. It’s better to diversify so that only one egg in one basket gets wrecked, rather than all of the eggs in the one basket.”
“Spread things out. Use different wallets. Use cold storage. Those sorts of things, I think, will give people a lot of peace of mind.”

Checked my bank account to make sure ai didn’t steal all of my money
My most recent transaction is a tax payment
The government stole my money before the ai ever could

Threadguy says you have a civic obligation to know your local sports team
“Nobody has shared experience anymore. Everybody has their own algorithm, watches their own streamers, their own TikToks, different movies, different books. When I was growing up everybody had shared experience. We watched the same games, we read the same books, everybody read the Hunger Games, everybody watched Percy Jackson, everybody went to Endgame. Nobody does the same stuff anymore, so everyone is separated. Knowing your local sports team is the last unifying cultural thing any town has.”
“As a functioning citizen of your city you almost have an obligation to be surface level caught up on your local team. If you’re a lonely tech person in New York and you wonder why you can’t connect with anybody, it’s you. You’re supposed to know who the quarterback is, who the best player on the basketball team is. It’s the easiest small talk there is, and I feel for people, because it’s lonely out here in the city.”
“If you work a job you hate and you don’t have friends, how are you going to go meet anybody? It’s solo rip in the bar, which is rough. But solo rip in the bar when the Knicks are on? It’s free. It’s so free.”

> If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever
"The greatest battle is playing out over the next 20 years. There’s a world in which Orwell is right, but I do think we have a path to avoid it. If you are talented and are working toward centralization of power, quit your job and figure out how to work toward decentralization. There’s no such thing as centralization of power for good, even if you are good someone evil will eventually take the reins of whatever you built. The idea is never to build the reins in the first place. Nothing in this world is worth the eternal boot. Not your apartment, not your car, not your status, and not your travel. Nothing. And don’t be so stupid as to think you’ll be one wearing the boot. You won’t. Please stop."

if today is any indication of the pace, markets are not nearly pricing in the rate at which banks/healthcare/etc are going to have to merge to acquire enough scale to defend against ai driven security vulnerabilities

Threadguy says people like Kimchi have completely ruined dating by flying girls around on private jets
“Honestly people like Kimchi ruined this. ‘Oh, I'll take you out on my private jet.’ It's like, what? Private jet? What are you talking about?”
“I love tricking but I know what I'm working with. We could go out and have some fun but the jet is like, it's like $40,000 to fly in a jet”
“The other thing is one, you gotta swipe up with financial means and then number two is you’re DMing 5 girls”
“You’re right Ansem it's hitting the group chat of like five. Five people are reading it”
“You're solo squads and the odds are not in your favor”
