• But it’s becoming a bit too common. What is the real story?

    It’s not some guy getting out of prison. The recent wallet had BTC at 37 pennies. That wasn’t some underground dollars changing hands.

    No one held that long- that was at least 7-10 years they could have been living like a millionaire.

    We don’t think there is a quantum computer that could run the calculation, though that day approaches closer and we don’t see all the developments. People think they would go after banks, but if you can only crack one code every 45 days, and the rule is if you have the key, you are the owner, then that’s the best and least risky target out there.

    Could early creators have envisioned all this and wanted to hold. I really doubt it, but maybe.

    We probably will never know- but if it keeps happening on a fairly regular basis, something isn’t quite right.

  • It’s a cost center so this is a serious question.

    Is it raw knowledge (PhD+)?

    Maybe, but most of it is encoded in LLMs now.

    Is it understanding structure and how to solve problems?

    Yea, that seems more aligned. But even then, LLMs and context-aware agents like Cursor for programming is bridging this gap rapidly.

    Many quants scoff at the idea of using Cursor to build their models and trading strategies but I think they are using it incorrectly or their ego refuses to accept that years of academic training is becoming commoditized.

    Here are some common guidelines that has helped me cured myself of LLM disease syndrome (LDS).

    1. ⁠LLMs don’t understand context very well. That’s why you need something like Cursor to inject codebase context. It does a good job.

    2. ⁠Yes, you absolutely have to refactor your codebase for any real project. Adding docstrings or asking the LLM to do so is also critical. This allows you want to work in chunks and not have to iteratively go back and forth.

    3. ⁠No you shouldn’t write large prompts. You need to iteratively use the LLM. It’s human in the feedback loop that makes the coding powerful. You avoid taken unintended code jumps that are suboptimal.

    The way I think about this is that you have a global reward function – your ideal model or program – which you are asking the LLM (along with a context engine) to find in an insanely high dimensional vector space. Yes this is not 100% accurate technically, but a good mental picture.

    To guide it properly down the valley you need to do it gradually and iteratively to avoid getting stuck in suboptimal valleys (this is what happens when you inject large prompts usually). It’s like hiking down a large mountain, you don’t jump down, you do it gradually.

    If you approach LLM agents with this perspective, maybe you can keep your job for another 10 years.

  • This observation gives both traders and market analysts a glimpse into how modern trading platforms and retail participants are reshaping financial markets. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting, recognizing these trends can be essential to making informed trading decisions. Keep your eyes on the pre-market and after-hours talks—it might just give you the edge in predicting the next significant market rally.

    Overall, Robinhood and retail traders are not just participating; they’re defining new dynamics that everyone—from individual investors to hedge funds—must consider in portfolio strategies. It’s an exciting time to be part of the stock trading world!

  • I feel like every other month, there is another, your website is not ada compliant, or you’ve sent me an sms without my consent threats coming to my company. I am suspecting these greedy law offices will find other avenues soon. If I want to defend myself, just seeking legal help already racks a bill, if I try to settle for something small, it’s really annoying to give it away at a time where we are already razor thin margins struggling.

    We used to be big and have a lot of publicity so I dont know if I am getting more targeted because of that, but it’s like a small company now and I just wanna write back to these lawyers, you are barking the wrong tree. soap box off. what do you folks do?

  • **3.** Wait for volume signal to print an entry signal in the trade direction (back into the consolidation).

    **4.** Enter at that candle’s close. Stop Loss at current leg’s high/low. Target the consolidation’s low.

    Using ⁠Volume Compass as a confluence. Only sell if its above the 50 mark and Buy if its below.

  • The idea of turning the rising risk of natural disasters into proactive climate ventures is a win-win for everyone involved. While lifting premiums to cover increasing risks may be a straightforward approach, insurance companies have the chance to be real game-changers in the fight against climate change. As they encourage more sustainable practices, they not only manage their risk better but also contribute to reducing it globally.

    So, next time you’re looking at your insurance policy, think beyond the premiums. You’re part of a larger cycle that doesn’t just protect you but also helps safeguard our planet.

  • So, I’ve been throwing $20/month into BTC for some time now, and am seeing what everyone here knows. It’s a great investment.

    My question is, how can I really make my investment strategy better moving forward, and if you all had any tips or advice that might help me continue to realize these profits, and, although I don’t think I’ll ever be a BTC millionaire necessarily, (certainly not at this rate) However, I’m getting older, and would like to have a decent nest egg in the next 10 years if possible.🤞🏻

    Being on a fixed income, I don’t have much in the way of income to invest, however, I’ve been considering trying a few things that might give me the ability to ramp up my investment.

    One think I’m considering, is changing my strategy, and instead of distributing my monthly investments into stocks and other crypto, to take all of my earmarked “savings” income just to BTC.

    That’s not to say that I’ll take ALL of my monthly free cash to BTC, but rather triple or quadruple my BTC investment to say, $100/mo, and furthermore, extract all profits from my other investments and put them to work on BTC each month. Kinda like a “dividend reinvestment”

    I know obtaining as much BTC will likely be everyone’s opinion, and that is my goal, however, if anyone here has some tips or strategy that has helped you build up your “Hodlings”, with limited cash flow, I’d love to hear them!

    Thanks in advance!
