Highlights
The dead-mic Flock saga
Panda queued up a segment on Flock's license-plate and "Condor" tracking cameras, played a clip, and then delivered a full editorial on surveillance overreach… to a room that couldn't hear a word. Curtis, Waldo and Carrie "held it down" with a silent protest until Panda resurfaced: "Oh my goodness. Did you guys didn't hear me at all?" It became the funniest beat of the day.
Fear, greed, and blood in the streets
Carrie laid out his DCA discipline around the fear & greed index: buy aggressively during extreme fear, ease off as it turns to greed. He leaned on the Buffett maxim and admitted he trades on gut more than charts.
Market psychology as homework
Panda walked Kilo through the emotional cycle (disbelief → euphoria → complacency → panic) and Rocky added the technical side: watch for the big red capitulation volume candle. Panda even recounted his own 2017–2020 origin story, mask-in-the-car freakout and all.
Books roundtable
Rocky (who once did ~220 audiobooks in a year running sulfur-mining machines) championed The Screwtape Letters; OneEyedWillie added Red Rising and The Richest Man in Babylon; Kilo brought How to Win Friends and Influence People P1 1:00:06; Panda made the case for The Slight Edge.
Waldo, patron saint of not reading
Asked for a favorite book, Waldo confessed he'd rather smell them, riffing on library dust and the ritual of sniffing a fresh comic. A deadpan classic.
The trading-chart panda
OneEyedWillie minted a naked green panda with a Matrix eyepiece against a faithful DexTools-style background — real contract address, 5B supply and all. Waldo: "so grimy yet so clean at the same time."
Detox, dumb phones and physical media
A strong stretch on digital detox: OneEyedWillie on hoarding DVD/Blu-ray players from thrift stores as streaming yanks titles, and the wave of schools returning to pen and paper (one Minneapolis class jumped reading confidence from 46% to 95%).
"Would You Rather," round two
The centerpiece comedy segment: $15k/month forever if you accept one daily curse — the Mystery Call (a speaker-phone call from anyone in your contacts who asks one brutally honest question), the Affection Guy (a burly, bearded stranger who hugs you for minutes and kisses your forehead), or the Tickler. The room escalated it into the shower, into funerals, into ETH Denver. Waldo simply took all three and announced he'd buy Bitcoin.
Billabong's community-building soapbox
Arriving seven hours deep after a rough day, Billabong delivered a concentrated take: cabal complaints don't fix anything, "the game" is the same high-school dynamic everywhere, and the real work is drawing attention honestly and building people's confidence so the shy ones start talking.
Base vs. the builders
Waldo went off on Base championing insiders and pivoting from memes to AI while long-time builders got shafted; Fred (dialing in from Medellín after an earthquake) offered a calmer thesis that Robinhood's competition is the kick Base needed to re-embrace memes and community.
