Returns over the last decade: Dogecoin: ~+75,000%, Bitcoin: ~+20,000%, S&P 500: ~+245%. Long-term conviction has rewarded few. The biggest gains rarely come from what’s comfortable.

@blknoiz06
CALLING ALL SOLANA DEGENS and BAGWORKERS: Over the past few days I’ve been vocal about my frustration with the state of the @RobinhoodCrypto trenches. Too many rugs, too many short-term plays, and not enough builders shipping real innovation. That’s why I’m shifting my focus back to @solana.
@blknoiz06
Sometimes I see posts asking why you wouldn't just ape into real community tokens instead of influencer tokens—but what if an influencer token has both? "Black Bull" is a huge meme in China; plus, it aligns with @blknoiz06 (who is Black) and Crypto Twitter (which is hilariously racist), so that’s on.

I caught two of my colleagues having sex in the office storeroom. I went there to collect some files and saw the two of them at the far end, behind some stacked cartons. They didn't notice me.
