not that anyone here needs a reminder, but all of these BLATANTLY illegal and unconstitutional executive orders going into effect ANYWAY show YET AGAIN that Biden and the Dems were unwilling and incapable to do anything that actually matters

Oh, the Supreme Court would have overturned Biden's executive orders? Then make them do it. You can hold it up in lower courts for YEARS until then. Oh, the lower court judge won't rule your way? Fire them and get a different judge. Fight dirty with these demons. Literally LOCK them out of congress and order federal agents to keep them out. Inform John Roberts that he's retired effective immediately, take his robes and don't let him into the chambers. THE RULES DON'T MATTER, THEY'RE ONLY THEIR FOR PEOPLE WHO FETISHIZE RULES

short answer: yes a lot of the top performers in crypto this cycle are AI projects (fartcoin, ai16z, virtuals, aixbt) which have been going up for the last 4 months.

long answer: crypto prices have been going up since late 2022. The higher the prices get, the higher the volatility. People are so deep in profit that mentally they start looking for reasons to sell. So any bad news, which would be shrugged off on the way up, becomes the final catalyst for them to sell. So really, the price is volatile because it's so high, not because of any specific news event. This same principle can be applied to Nvidia.

Also here's the correlation between bitcoin and the NASDAQ:

If they were correlated 1:1, it would be a flat line. But bitcoin actually tremendously outperforms, at least since 2020.

"I hope this is not true forever but I can’t argue with you. My father is the artist, he turned 88 on Monday, so he has witnessed the rise and fall of most of the dictatorships of the 20th century. A neo-conservative of the 1960s, Andre believes that, while the CCP may not fall in his lifetime, that eventually it will crumble to the will of the people."

 

The era of amateur athletics in college is officially over. While it's obviously good that the players (the ones providing the value) are officially getting compensated, the knock-on effects on other parts of the universities will likely be negative. Tuition will likely increase to cover some of the athletes' wages, and non-revenue sports will be squeezed further. Additionally, it will be more difficult for schools without warchests to compete on the field, if they are even given a chance at all.

For football, I'm envisioning an MLB-like future where NFL teams will draft players out of high school, then have the option to let them enroll in colleges on renewable one-year deals as makeshift minor leagues.

Further down the road, I think eventually college football teams will be affiliated with universities in name only and will completely divest from academics. Behind the scenes this has basically already happened but now there is no need for the amateurism veil. They will become glorified developmental leagues, but will not be completely subsumed by the NFL because 1) there are not enough NFL roster spots to support that, and 2) college football teams are major brands that make a lot of people a lot of money.
