[I Ate] Every Fast Food Spicy Chicken Sandwich in Singapore

Aspiring chicken content maker, made this in Singapore, would love feedback! Whether it's on the content or the rankngs, would love to know!

Tried all the fast food chicken sandwiches: McSpicy, KFC, Burger King, the one and only Chick-Fil-A, Popeyes, the homegrown 4Fingers, and dark horse Jollibee!

Thanks!

Can someone do the math?

Hi guys,

Given all the hackers making the rounds brute forcing those wallets, what are the odds that they also come across a wallet or two that WEREN't Coldcard seed generated?

Like if their entropy is 2^50 but the entire universe is 2^256, what's the chance that a password from the latter rests in the former? Is it just 2^206? Also, it's unlikely Ledger or Trezor use the whole 2^256 universe, so maybe it's even lower?

Please discuss!

Gameplan!

TLDR: Hold!

Okay guys. 2500 shareholder as of today due to 1300 assigned puts at $170 and $150.

Look, it sucks. Watching your pile of money turn into a smaller pile of money. I know, I feel it too.

Some background, I'm not the smartest or most talented guy. I'm not the tallest or best looking guy, my voice is thin and lame. I'm certainly not from any background that would stand out from a socioeconomic perspective. But what am I? I'm lucky as hell. Which is why at 37, I travel, spend time w family and am trying to be a chicken video youtuber.

How did I get so lucky you ask?

Wanna know the real answer?

I hold things. Starting in senior year of high school, I bought AMD at $1.50 a share. After college I mined and bought Bitcoin. When I started working in finance thru cold calling CEO's asking for jobs, one told me I should diversify and make slow money. So guess what I did? I created the Anti-myself portfolio where I bought sleepy dividend stocks like Eaton, Assa Abloy, GE, Chubb, Microsoft, Micron (when it was hated and at $70 a share), Intel, Nintendo, Philip Morris, Chevron, list goes on.

The point is, at MANY points, it felt terrible. The market tests your psyche.

As long as the underlying company is a good one and you dont need the money for an emergency, just don't sell.

There's nothing broken about Reddit. The market is changing faster than even wirh AI. But the brand and product works. Furthermore, while Management may not be perfect, I believe it's clear they care about the company and not just profits.

I still use Reddit every day. So hold! It's worked for me, I bet it'll work for all of us.

Chinese Equities and Basic Economic Principles

Hi all, saw some posts on Chinese investing which I've been wading into the last 1.5 years, wanted to share...

Semi-retired in my 30's to make chicken videos on Youtube. So you KNOW I know what I'm talking about. I have a CFA and worked for over 10 years in the industry but all I learned some awful things. It's like the quote from one money manager said: "when you invest with me, we turn your money + my experience into my money + your experience". Most firms who have a "mission statement" should really call them "commission statements".

At any rate, I've spent a few years following the economic slowdown in China and as I'm interested to build a 3-5% exposure to select Chinese equities that focus on where that particular market in China provides these industries with a technological and manufacturing advantage. Think batteries where the A-shares trade at a discount to the H-shares.

So I set off to set up some structures and needed RMB. Guess what? Just about EVERY wealthy Chinese person wants USD and wants to get rid of their RMB. They're even willing pay ~4-6% above spot to get it.

I thought about this for awhile and what I'm realizing is ultimately "Money" is supposed to be able to buy power and influence. And in China, no matter how much "Money" you have, you can't buy the influence and power. So RMBs are really more like glorified food stamps. Sure you can buy a fancy electric car (which are amazing for consumers) and some of the best food in the world. But I would argue consumption is a tiny part of the monetary value of money.

So all of that is to say, tactically there are some good investments to be had, but DON'T put more than you can consume into Chinese stocks because the local currency is only good for consumption. That % will look different for different portfolio sizes but for ours I think less than 5% is okay.

TL:DR Some interesting opportunities in China but don't go all in.

I ate Russian King Crab at the North Korean Border.

I'm pretty sure Russian and Alaskan King Crab are the same but maybe I'm wrong. Also had plenty of clams and a Snow crab to compare.

Check it out! New to making content so would love feedback too, trying to improve slightly every video! Thanks in advance.

Quartz Crisis 2.0: Rise of the Chinese EV

Is the UAE market a sign of things to come globally? How can legacy automakers compete with cheaper but increasingly higher quality chinese vehicles? I guess tariffs is step 1, but that also hurts the consumer.

Thoughts?

150 Deathblade stacks. My Luckiest Snowballing Ranked Game...

Ok so figured I'd play a ranked game to start my day.

Start of the game, offered Deadlier Blades Aug, obviously take it for my and my enemies' peace and calm. Put it on Ezreal because I got 2 Pantheons from the shop. Won every round excited to stack my Ezreal drones and the deathblade.

2-7 mobs dropped me 2 Orns and 3-1 shop had 1 Samira. Okay obvious pivot. 2-3 offered the Evelynn steamroll+ which gave me a 3-cost and 1 gold for the rest of the game! WTF HOW IS THIS BALANCED?

3 starred my Ornn and Samira easily, deathblade to 150 stacks. Freaking unreal and super satisfying to play. Won 23 rounds lost 1 Hp due to picking Evelynn god option.

Just wanted to share.

Tried all cabin classes of Chinese Highspeed Train!

I spent our last trip trying all the cabin classes.

Making videos now trying to learn content creation so shameless plug. Just about a month in so please give feedback!

TLDR: Go with 2nd class (cheapest) or business class (most expensive). 1st class is bad value!

PSA: If you really believe there is manipulation to the downside. Please sell your calls!

Ok guys I'm the guy who said a week ago that maybe Altman was dumping his position and causing the weak price action. I was downvoted to oblivion. But I'm back with another PSA and I hope I have earned a tiny bit of credibility for being right on the Altman situation.

So basically, I have a theory that certain hedge funds, particularly ones with affiliated market-making businesses (looking at you Citadel) have a new strategy which is when capital on options positions become VERY sizeable, you can actually profit by buying/selling the stock to win those option bets (yes, an option is a binary bet).

Here's how it works.

Let's say, they are able to aell $750m worth of premiums of outstanding call options owned by RDDT "longs". Because of what I described above, they can use those premiums to short the shares basically surpressing the price into expiration.

Now in 99% of cases this woudln't make sense because the risk to the short position is greater than the $750m premium valuec but now:

-Tons of volume today is just via passive ETFs, which are more predictable in their activity.
-Many "long" positiontakers only buying calls because they are of r/wallstreetbets culture
-$RDDT having a low public float due to being recently IPO'd
-All brokerages have basically moved to payment for order flow model so data on retail shareholder behavior is more available than ever

So basically what I'm saying is, if you want to stop the "manipulation", which in my mind is totally fair play to the manipulators, and you're a call or LEAPs holder, you can do so by selling your options and buying shares.

And no, the manipulators aren't out to get RDDT, they're just looking for opportunity and RDDT happens to be that right now.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

Position: 635 shares, sold 3 contracts of Jun 150 puts, sold 7 contracts of Jun 140 Puts.

SP500 going to 12,000. DD Inside!

Yo everyone. I've been running around Asia making chicken videos on YouTube. So you KNOW I'm a damn good bet when it comes to financial markets. I even have a CFA thingy-majig.

Okay, so how do I this market is going up and to the right? Aside from the fact that it ALWAYS DOES ANYWAY? Check this out.

Ask yourself real quick. It's 2030 and there are three scenarios:

Scenario A: The SP500 sits at 8,500 after slightly recovering from a 40% pullback in late 2026/2027. Average home price has also slightly recovered and sits at a tad over $500k. Unemployed edged slightly up and inflation has run hot so the average consumer is struggling.

Scenario B: The SP500 sits at 6,500 after a pullback due to the AI boom unwinding. Private credit has been schlacked and semi industry is overleveraged on more expensive debt. The average home has fallen to around $400k as the economy has slowed. The average consumer still struggles but doesn't feel left behind.

Scenario C: Blast off. AI revolutionizes productivity, most people are useless. The SP500 rockets to over 10,000 and the average US home is over $750k, with the average home in desireable MSA's now standing at well over $1.5m. The average consumer is effectively priced out of life at this point and while they don't have to worry about hunger, they're basically just pawns in the game.

Now think about history, which scenario is the most likely? Obviously the one that screws over your average Joe the most.

So C it is!

Positions:
1,000 shares long $RDDT.
500 shares long $CRCL.
500 shares long $PM (tobacco will keep the people happy).
500 shares long CATL (300750).

Could it be Sam Altman dumping his shares to fund OpenAI?

Everyone knows that OpenAI is a mess. Just look at MSFT performance. Anthropic is kicking ass taking names

Could this price weakness be because one of the largest RDDT owners is dumping?

Just hit 50 subs! 6 of them are family, but that means 46 are real people who watched my vids! Woooo

So I started a month ago with nothing but a silly idea and asking lots of subreddits for advice. 4 weeks and 100 fun hours of ClipChamp later, I've got 50 subs!

Good news is today someone recommended CapCut, which I used for the first time and it's soooooo much faster than ClipChamp. Now I think I'll be able to edit my videos as fast as I shoot them!

If anyone else has any other advice, I'm all ears! Looking for maybe a upgraded thumbnail too, so if anyone has thoughts on that. Ive tried to keep a consistent theme thru my thumbnails but maybe it would be better if they had some more design elements or cleaner font?

Let's go!

u/Illustrious-Boss9356 — 3 months ago

Looking for any and all advice as I'm 2.5 weeks into this endeavor (and having a blast!).

Please let me know the optimal strategy for face/faceless and longform/shortform on the same channel, or is that just a mistake?

Thanks!

So this is my first faceless video and my first short.

Curious if yall experience tubers have any advice to give. Is it a mistake posting shorts from the same channel as my long form? Or should I not mix face and faceless content?

I'm only two weeks in so please blast away! I'm trying to learn every video.

YichaoLovesChicken is the channel.

Thanks a ton in advance.
