Do you know someone who has truly “set it, and forgot it” and became wealthy from that?

Just read a story about the guy who did some early work for Nvidia and was paid in shares that vested after so long. He forgot about them and they ended up becoming worth a billion dollars.

Grew up in Plano. Are Mama’s pizza, Country Burger, and Taco Bueno still the go to for high school lunch break?

I vividly remember hauling ass to get there and chow down so we could be back to PSHS in 50 minutes.

Paul Barron: Big conversations are now active in DC - @POTUS holds the keys to clarity on the Ethics angle. Be ready either way this falls.

Clarity isn’t dead yet. Lots of 11th hour negotiations going on right now.

Moved away but curious about Plano High School Football

I grew up in Plano and high school football was everything. Players had to keep shirts tucked in at all times, we got weekly progress reports detailing our grades and classroom behavior for the coaches to review, no long hair, and no tattoos. We were very competitive, had great coaches (Brence), the team was run super tight, and it was a considered an honor to play and rep Plano. Is that still the case? Sometimes during football season I’ll find myself searching through the scores to see how PSHS faired, but it seems the dominate times have passed us by.

Rec’s for Houston’s best gym with the nicest spa, sauna, steam room.

Looking for a gym that not only has updated and nice equipment, but where the locker room and the facilities are just as nice. I’m talking like Four Seasons nice. I want a clean locker room with a functioning sauna and steam room and preferably a cold plunge as well. I just returned from the Four Seasons in Maui and their locker room was stunning. I would pay top dollar if we had a nice facility like that in the Houston area. Any rec’s?

How long until burnout sets in?

Long hours, sleazy coworkers, difficult customers, unsteady pay, and chasing pay plans. Weeks, months, or years. Tell me when burn out set in for you.

Did the banks overplay their hand?

Assuming Clarity doesn’t pass on the 15th, doesn’t this allow the SEC and CFTC to align their policies closer to the Genius Act, therefore, giving Crypto a bigger tool bag to grow? And if/when a new administration shows up and wants to change the rules, it will be a train too big to stop at that point.

Explain Hbar to me like I’m 5 years old

New to crypto and have a little cash to invest. So far, I’ve narrowed it down to about five but I’m probably going to invest in evenly. However, H bar keeps popping up and a lot of the research that I’m doing. I really like how they’re not focused on the noise or the influencers, they just seem to be grinding away behind the scenes and building a very solid infrastructure amongst institutional players. But I still don’t fully understand how it works.

Where do you get your Crypto news?

There are a few guys on YouTube I like listening to (Paul Barron, Crypto Sensei). But even Crypto Sensei seems to post a lot of hype and hopeium. I follow Eleanor Terrott on X and she’s really good for White House and breaking news. Beyond that I haven’t found anyone else with good credible info.

How do I get back on track

Let me clarify. My life is pretty good when I zoom out and take a look at it overall. I have a good job. A great family. Kids and safe and happy. Everyone is healthy. Only stress is the normal day to day stuff. But as I’ve gotten older (45), I lost my internal fire for certain things that used to really charge me up. It’s like I’ve been grinding so hard for many years now that I’ve kind of forgotten who I was. I used to be a social person. Loved going to live sporting events. Would accept almost any invite to a party or to hang. Now I’m picky. I barely ever want to do anything except my normal routine. Gym, work, sleep, etc. I get cranky if my schedule gets interrupted by anything like a work trip, a kids schedule change that involves me, or holidays that throw off my schedule. I barely ever watch sports anymore, hate getting invited to weddings or social hangs, and have just become sort of grumpy. All I think about is hitting my FU number so I can walk away from work and literally retire and do nothing. How do I get my spark back? I’m not lazy by any means. I work out every morning. I never miss work. I handle all my responsibilities.

Is this just part of getting old or am I truly losing my spark?

What’s the going % for a Houston Real Estate Agent?

Thinking of selling my home but the thought of giving away 6% isn’t sitting well with me. My home should sell somewhere for around $2million, so we are talking over $100K in commissions.

At this point I’m just curious….

Over the course of the past 3 years I’ve experienced almost every emotion regarding crypto. Hope, excitement, fear, greed, fomo, hopelessness, etc. At this point my original thesis and reasoning for getting into crypto is a distant afterthought. At this point I’m just curious to see what happens if/when Clarity Act passes. Just give us the opportunity……I don’t care if it goes up or down. Just let us see!!!!

Lots of speculation right now surrounding Mitch McConnell. He may or may not be dead at this point. If he is in fact dead, what does that do to his vote?
