to take a mark-to-market loan on something with casual 50%+ drawdowns takes a special breed of degen lol
In 100 days, the "attacker" who already had a lot of TDH will have a whopping 0.6% of network TDH

There seemed to be a lot of confusion about this…. dgmd Is “attacker“ and will be a minute before he can take over project
leverage is deadly in this space

Oof. That must hurt.
the number of fumbles in this space by leveraging up in something this volatile is wild to me
i think there is core set of holders that won't sell at any price regardless of if it is an attempt against the network

And for this to happen there are lots of what ifs, first, those cards actually ahve to be for sale... There is a core of holders here that I know wouldnt sell for almost any price if they knew it was in an attempt to destroy the network. and new cards would further dilute them over time. etc.

@[punk6529] any thoughts on IQAir filter vs competitors, say Dyson...
1/ if every person except for me sells to a new buyer, it is fine, but obviously the experiment is over.
2/ I think the dynamics are not really as described above on a couple of dimensions. You can also consider the following happening:
a) there are a set of hodlers that are quite hardcore and won't sell easily
b) it is true that some people will sell into bids, but of course some other people will see the prices going up and be less likely to sell (the history of crypto is not that crypto tokens fail because the price goes up)
c) the higher prices will attract other new buyers/collectors

Actually it doesn't. More smaller holders that aligns with Punk's thinking will make the network more secure. Let's me highlight another extreme case (not that it will happen, but I want to use it to make a point): assume that a high enough bid wall so that everybody except Punk (including Museum and Reseach) sold. Two things will happen: 1) all the TDH except Punk's will be zero'ed out - the network TDH drops from 700million to 150million 2) the new owner will start gain TDH at a rate of 1 millon a day than Punk. So in 150 days, he will have more TDH than all entities controled by Punk. He basically own more than 51% of the TDH network. This is of course an unlikely scenario - but it shows that smaller holder sell out is not good for the security of the network.
very difficult to move large % amounts of TDH

I saw the events this week in the opposite way. This "attack" was extremely weak to the system, even at a time that was ripe for selling as other mentions. Consider the stats I copied from the Network page today below. Even if 5 million TDH was destroyed, that amount is replaced in less than 4 days. Even on days of peak burn, the daily TDH change was still positive. Even with @[DGMD] starting with a top 50 daily TDH accumulation and after acquiring 2k+ cards, they are still only making 2,500 TDH a day more than @Ruskin, and no one was worried about that. The Network TDH is 710 million. Even if half of that disappeared overnight. You know how long it will take @[DGMD] to get to 370 million? A long time, and that wont be long enough because it's likely the that Network TDH would start to rise again with the HODLers. Time factor of TDH also give the Network time to defend itself. More people could buy memes new memes, complete sets, HODL what they have. These adjustment by individuals could make it nearly impossible to attack. More people sold SZN 2 than I initially expected, but in hindsite, it's bullish that more people HAVNEN'T dumped into the sell wall after all this time. 
correct, cards moving to @[DGMD] is not an attack on the system

Also one important note is that DGMD is that TDH is a proof of alignment. I would argue that DGMD is as aligned as they come. So in a sense, the TDH destruction and his actions, made the system even more aligned. Pretty amazing.
congrats!

I want to create a wave we’re people can share places they came across that they feel has the qualities from below and people would rate them on price from low medium or high and the same with the quality of the place low medium or high.
I don’t know how to call it maybe escapes.
it would be to hotels or resorts that have a lot of privacy the Idea would be you can checkout from the world it would have to have a outside private space that you could walk around and do whatever you want nice trails or quite place to walk around.
Is this possible to create on wave at the moment?
yeah I do not know who they are

I wonder who is selling their lunar chuckles. That is the last one punksladmemes needs and the holders are only arsonic (who wont sell because he needs full set too), museum (also wont sell), Sunday, 6529er, and Ruskin.

I’ve just spent the last 4 days learning a new skill in my field
It’s not this, but similar to learning Lacrosse, which I’ve never played before, after being good at tennis
It’s been a great but very exhausting experience. Combing motos skills, group work, 3D space visualisations - a good reminder to keep learning because it’s too easy to just stop and atrophy
I will tell you my views on this when I have them :)

punk, while you're here, use your mental facilities to solve this tdh retention issue for my lending platform
It is like free trade. The only thing that matters is your own internal relative advantage. What things are relatively easier for you than other things. In absolute terms there are always people who are better. You (one) just need to double down on your internal competitive advantage

I feel like I’m good but not the best. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
But it's true for mathletes too
Everyone understands intuitively that athletes need to practice like crazy
So the strategy of find something that you are relatively better at and do a ton of it will end up with you being a top 1% in it even in cognitive fields
You might have a proclivity to basketball but if you sit on the couch all day and your buddy plays 8 hours a day he will crush you
Anyway we are who we are. People do not understand that cognitive stuff is just like sports
They should not look at close distances. So playing games in living room TV is better than iPad etc

interesting. every time i wish my kids were reading instead of playing video games i think about some of the research that suggests reading does that
So that is a module that I did not get installed at the factory
I can't remember anyone's name and face so I am perpetually "oh yeah great to see you too"
Fuck fuck fuck fuck wtf is this person
So could have been the reading but also my mom is near sighted too so who knows
I'm nearsighted. Happened between age 6 and 12
I think in practice i do take in bigger chunks of text at a time but it is totally subconscious. The one time I tried to think about it i got slower so that was the end of that
some combo of genes and huge amount of practice
and i think virtuous cycle
i read a lot
but i was always fast at reading as a kid
no formal tricks and I try not to think about it so I don't ruin it

do you have strategies like reading "paragraphs at a time" like some speed readers?
i think i burned through my monthly allowance of 100 deep research queries in the first 2 days lol
so i have multiple accounts open
because i keep smashing into the limits
i have like 5 openai pro accounts
i mean you will laugh but because of the deep resesarch rate limits
I want to know something: I sent off o1-pro or deep research to give me first pass
i have it open all day
