    Why I'm so bullish on Christianity: First, I compared secular / non-secular market data. Virtually all major indicators showing the Long Religion/Short Secular pair trade as one of the best this century: 1. +4% single-year ROI in mental health gains for weekly churchgoers vs

    Nine years ago, sitting in a hotel room in Budapest, my girlfriend of just a couple weeks found out she was pregnant. I was twenty-three and had just begun traveling the world. I hardly knew her and she hardly knew me.

    Becoming a dad saved my life. Becoming a dad saved my soul. Becoming a dad answered my prayers when I begged to become a better man. Becoming a dad gave me the strength to quit so many vices and adapt so many virtues. Becoming a father enriched my life with God such that in

    After minutes of grilling me to make sure I was serious. She finally believed me. We called the doctor, cancelled the appointment, and went back to Budapest. We never even set foot outside the terminal. Now, nearly a decade later, we have four beautiful children. A marriage

    I'm saying this to boast. God knows the first years were impossibly difficult. Navigating a secret pregnancy in Saudi Arabia was tough. Marrying a woman I barely knew in the courthouse of a city I'd never heard of so we could legally travel back into the middle east was tough.

    Proposal for full refund for all < $250,000 aUST wallets. "With $1.46B, we will be able to refund 99.6% of all Anchor wallets, which is probably over 95% of all Anchor users." I support this even though I would not benefit from this. agora.terra.money/t/proposal-tie…

    Rules that, when I break them, consistently wreck me (1/🧵): 1. Don't invest in farm tokens. This includes tokens whose main purpose is rewards. The higher the emissions, the faster the fall. I like to aggregate my yields, but I know that's an additional smart contract risk.

    @BeanstalkFarms has been exploited. I personally lost 25% of my net worth. Definitely over invested this time. What's more frustrating, I know many people who invested because of me and my content. There aren't proper words to express how sorry I am.

    Another 🧵, just to see if I can get any good at these. Stablecoin yields are something I get asked about all the time and something that my team has dedicated a lot of time towards researching. 1/x

    I broke. It must have been the sign my soul was desperately waiting for. I told her we couldn't do it. I told her I'd claim the child. I'd raise the child. I could be a good father. She was worried that I'd be throwing my youth away. I told her I could make myself happy in any
