Summary follows...

• The stock is 24–28 % below its August high, P/E ratio 18, dividend yield 1 %.
• Operationally, the business continues to grow: Revenue +8 %, Net income +8 %, Diluted EPS +15 % (due to share buybacks).

• EBITDA margin improving, free cash flow yield at 8.3 %.
• Share repurchases of $4 billion last quarter (all-time high) – even exceeding free cash flow.
• Scenario: 12 % free cash flow growth + 1 % dividend yields a conservative 13 % total return per year.

• Global travel volume stable to slightly growing.
• Booking benefits from inflation (higher booking prices → higher platform fees).
• Outlook: high single-digit to low double-digit earnings growth.

• AI tools like Deep Seek (free) or Gemini offer better travel recommendations than traditional portals.
• Booking charges 10–20 % fees; other players (e.g., Muses) prepare disruption – similar to how Booking once displaced established competitors with 40 % fees.
• The danger: margin pressure, not immediate destruction, but the risk/reward is too uncertain for the speaker.

• Booking looks fundamentally strong and cheap, but the AI transformation could massively change business models of tech platforms.
• Speaker finds the stock not attractive enough – too much risk of disruption (e.g., 50 % share price decline).

• Kimera, known for the Evo37/38 (restomod tributes to the Lancia 037), presents something completely different with the K39: a brand-new ground-up car.
• Tech: bespoke carbon-fiber tub, manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 from Koenigsegg.
• Stats: 1,000 hp, 1,200 Nm torque, 1,100 kg target weight. Smaller turbos than the Jesko mean less power but even better throttle response.

• The yellow car shown is a very early prototype, fresh from blasting up the Goodwood hill – finished only on the morning of the first day.
• Currently running just 0.2 bar of boost (around 600 hp), but the engine sounds loud, vicious, and aggressive.
• Driving feel: More stable than the Evo models thanks to a lower, wider chassis geometry, with classic Koenigsegg aggression in acceleration and response.

• The interior is temporary, trimmed just to make the car presentable for Goodwood. Production will feature exposed carbon fiber and beautiful details.
• Start-up procedure: ignition, fuel, clutch, start.

• Evo38 Martini: 2.1-liter four-cylinder with supercharger and turbo, 640 hp (up from 600), E85-compatible, raised rev limit.
• Pricing: Evo38 Martini around £1 million, K39 likely £2 million.
• Key differences: restomod based on a Lancia Beta Montecarlo vs. brand-new car; raspy rally four-cylinder vs. fire-breathing Swedish V8.

• Luca (ex-WRC driver and Kimera boss) takes the wheel and confirms: the K39 keeps the motorsport DNA, even though it is more circuit-oriented.
• Early signs are very good, but there is a long way to go before the finished product. The K39 could give billionaires something to think about beyond the Ferrari F80 or McLaren W1.

• Bitcoin drops below $77,000, and the market is under heavy pressure.
• Binance was hit by a theft of $6.3 billion – part of it has already been frozen.
• The alleged entry point: a laptop of a Binance developer. Attackers gained access to internal systems and triggered withdrawals through a „backdoor.“
• Suspected culprits: North Korean hackers (group „TraderTraitor“), similar to the Bybit incident.
• Binance states: customer funds are safe, losses will be covered from its own reserves. Withdrawals are expected to resume within about 45 hours.

• Despite the bad news, the reaction is milder than in previous eras – past hacks like Mt. Gox ($470M) once destroyed the market.
• Many altcoins are down significantly, but Hyperliquid surged as much as +20 % on huge news: the NYSE parent company wants to use Hyperliquid as a trading engine – another step toward tokenization and closer ties between crypto and Wall Street.

• No exchange is 100 % safe – even Binance was considered very secure. What matters most is how an attack is handled.
• Regulated platforms with insurance (e.g., OKX Shield) offer extra protection.
• Important: don‘t click random links, avoid panic moves, and manage your own risk.

• The S&P 500 is moving sideways, but many tech stocks are crashing: Intel -28 %, AMD and Qualcomm nearly -10 %, Dell -9 %.
• Many companies reported decent earnings, but expectations were simply too high – „good numbers, bad sentiment.“
• The sell-off is rotating through sectors rather than hitting everything at once – a „bear market within a bull market.“ Gold and silver are correcting too, oil is rising, and geopolitical uncertainty remains.

• $76,000 is a critical support level. Below that, $73,000 could be next, and in an extreme case $64,000/$60,000.
• Long-term, the host remains bullish on Bitcoin, but expects continued volatility and rough patches.
• In the portfolio challenge, positions were added below the $10,000 mark (including Apple, ServiceNow). Key principles: cash reserves, risk management, and independent decisions.

Bottom line: Crisis and opportunity are close together. Those who think long-term, diversify broadly, and avoid panic can use the turmoil – but only with clear risk management.

• Bitcoin is around $77,000, and the expected Q4 dump in a midterm year is taking shape.
• Historical patterns point to another possible low, though timing always remains uncertain.

• A weekly close below $83K for two consecutive weeks would confirm a fakeout to the upside.
• Many other markets (gold, silver, South Korean and Chinese indices) already show the typical structure of Q1 low, summer low, and Q4 low.
• Bitcoin had remained relatively strong compared to other assets – historically, a sharp catch-down often follows.

• Technical analysis (RSI, MACD, golden crosses) looks bullish.
• The macro perspective is bearish, especially after September rate hikes in midterm years: Bitcoin usually holds up for about 1.5 months before the final Q4 low appears.
• Events like the SpaceX IPO or the upcoming Anthropic IPO can act as triggers – but narratives usually follow price, not the other way around.

• Scenario 1: Quick crash – Bitcoin drops directly and finds a low soon, similar to the FTX collapse in 2022.
• Scenario 2: Another bounce – Bitcoin falls to the bull market support band, bounces, and then gets the final hit after the midterms. Historically, the lowest prices almost always occurred after the midterms.

• Apathetic tops tend to cause more fakeouts in both directions.
• In midterm years, the goal is often to preserve capital – not to maximize gains.
• Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is recommended as a robust approach to avoid getting chopped up by short-term swings.
• Staying alert can reveal opportunities – not just in Bitcoin, but in many other markets as well.

History is repeating itself: Q1 low, summer low, Q4 low – even in 2026. Understanding this can help you position better and avoid being shaken by short-term narratives.

The creator historically disliked V60 doses over 15-18g, believing linear scaling didn't work. This video introduces a new framework for a 30g brew that focuses on sweetness and body without sacrificing clarity.

Parameters:

• Coffee: 30g
• Grind: Slightly coarser than for 15g (about half a number coarser on an Option-O 80 with SSP Brew Burrs)
• Water Temp: 85–88 °C (soft water is recommended to accentuate natural acidity)
• Hardness: 20-30 GH, 5-10 KH

The secret is a gentle "triple bloom" to saturate the deep bed, followed by a fast final pour that acts like an immersion:

• 0:00: 90g gentle pour (spiral to center, ~5g/sec)
• 0:20: 70–80g pour
• 0:40: Top up to 200–210g
• 1:00: Fast center pour up to 450g total. This increases the perceived sweetness significantly.

Drawdown: 2:00 – 2:30 minutes.

• 30g Batch: Much sweeter (honey, ripe pear), fuller body, buttery texture. Lower floral notes, richer mouthfeel.
• 15g Batch: Higher floral complexity, sharper acidity, slightly thinner body.
• Target: ~16.5% extraction, ~1.25% TDS.

• This is a framework, not a rigid recipe. It uses the deeper bed to its advantage.
• Don't worry about grounds sticking to the walls—it helps filter fines.
• The final center pour is the key to unlocking sweetness.

Conclusion: A revolutionary method for anyone looking to brew a truly delicious big batch (2+ cups) on a V60.

• On October 29, starting at 20:05 UTC, on-chain trackers reported unusual outflows from Binance hot wallets. At 20:24 UTC, the Ethereum wallet Binance 14 was drained in a single transaction worth about $2.5 billion.
• The attack then expanded to hot wallets on Bitcoin, Tron, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche and Solana – stablecoins, BTC, ETH and many other tokens were stolen.
• Binance paused deposits and withdrawals worldwide. Former CEO CZ confirmed the hack, Co-CEO Yi He said user funds were safe, and Binance.US was not affected.

• Initial findings suggest the attack started with the compromise of a DevOps engineer's laptop. The attackers gained access to a service container in Binance's backend infrastructure and used it to authorize unauthorized withdrawals.
• On Ethereum, the attackers used EIP-7702 to turn a hot wallet into an automated “sweeper” that drained its balance and also redirected new deposits to the attacker.
• Binance says there are no signs that cold storage or master keys were compromised; the exact transaction authorization process is still under investigation.

• Blockchain analysis firms such as TRM Labs, Elliptic and Chainalysis suspect North Korea's “Trader Traitor” unit (part of the Lazarus Group). This has not yet been officially confirmed.
• At roughly $6 billion, this is the largest exchange hack in history – the previous record was $1.5 billion (Bybit, February 2025).

• Binance plans to cover all losses from its SAFU fund and its own balance sheet. The loss equals about 4% of its roughly $160 billion in assets under management.
• Tether froze $1.6 billion in USDT, Circle froze over $800 million in USDC, Ripple froze about $200 million in RLUSD, and Aave paused affected lending pools.
• In total, $2.5 to $3 billion (40–50%) of the stolen funds were frozen. However, over $570 million in ETH has already moved through Tornado Cash, Uniswap and cross-chain bridges.

• Bitcoin fell from around $81,000 to a low of about $76,400 – the weakest level since mid-September. At the time of writing, BTC was recovering near $78,500.
• Within 24 hours, about $1.5 billion in derivative positions were liquidated, nearly 90% of them longs.
• BNB dropped 5–8% to around $680, and Ethereum fell about 5%.
• Despite the biggest hack in crypto history, user funds remain protected and the industry is actively working to contain the damage.
