Moneylion is getting acquired for $1 billion. It went public through a SPAC deal around $2.4 billion. Was trading at $100 million 18 months ago.
Lots of SPACs were real companies that just had poor valuations, but made good investments after initially selling off.

A thing about bitcoin that I’ve found annoying is that the original argument for it, a decentralized currency that can’t be manipulated, is effectively dead.
The price went up because 1) it’s broadly accessible on exchanges and 2) people just… bought it.

Twitter does still produce some bangers.
Cracked out kid (who I chatted with two years ago, funny enough), casually tracking all Citibike data for a side project may be helping with the manhunt in Manhattan.

“While the most compulsive gambler on a roulette table knows he’s playing a game of luck, the investor can easily convince himself that it was his own analysis that made him rich, not market/sector beta or sheer chance.”

Really interesting breakdown from @jonkeegan.com at @sherwoodnews.bsky.social on engagement stats across X, Threads, and BlueSky. TLDR: BlueSky is punching above its weight, despite its lower user base.
Will be interesting to see if this sticks.
