TJR Is What Aristotle Warned Us About

ok so the "we are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act but a habit" quote that every hustle account posts over a sunset? Aristotle never said it. It's Will Durant, 1926, summarizing Aristotle in his own book. The internet took the summary, put Aristotle's name on it, and repeated it until it became true. Which is genuinely the funniest possible thing to happen in a video about a guy whose whole business is looking like he knows. Also: 97% of day traders who last 300 days lose money, and there is no rule anywhere — not from a regulator, not from a platform — that a trading coach has to show a checked track record before selling you a course. The box marked "show your work" was never on the form.

Did Kimchi Really Make $40 Million

ok so everyone online swears this trader "Kimchi" turned $500 into $40 million on the Trump coin. thing is — 58 wallets really did each make $10M+ that week, $1.1 billion in 72 hours, and it's all public on-chain. people spent months hunting for his wallet and found nothing. what they DID find: someone launched a coin named after him promising to send him the fees, and it's worth like $2,000 now. everyone cashed in on the rumor except the guy it's about.

KIMCHI

ok so there's this USC business student who started trading joke coins in April with like two hundred dollars, whose entire dream at the time was "make a couple grand." by December he was doing seven figures a month. still in college. still eating what he calls prison food at his desk 15 hours a day, seven days a week.

then the $TRUMP coin dropped two nights before the inauguration, went from a few cents to $75, and he allegedly walked away with $40-50 million off one weekend — and he STILL wasn't the biggest winner, because one random wallet bought a million dollars of it three hours before it was public and cleared over $100 million.

the wildest part? he has never once said the $40 million number. everyone else made it up for him and it just stuck. he's not selling anything. every person posting him is.

The Rise And Fall Of Tai Lopez

the wildest part of the Tai Lopez story isn't even the Lambo ad. His company REV promised investors up to 25% a year. for context, Warren Buffett — literally one of the richest men alive — did about 20% and that made him a legend. the operations chief who helped decide where a quarter-BILLION dollars went? the SEC alleges her real background was preschool substitute teacher, radio promoter, and Tai's personal assistant. also allegedly his cousin. the company had no CFO. it took in $230M+ from 660 people. (all allegations, nobody's been found guilty.) anyway the FBI is now knocking on investors' doors and Tai has said publicly… nothing. full story here:

You Don't Know PlaqueBoyMax

ok so PlaqueBoyMax literally named himself after a silver play button he took from his high school friend group and refused to give back because he did all the editing. his sister gifted him a mug that said "max the editor" as a joke and he took it as a personal threat. FIVE years later he's the first Twitch streamer ever nominated for a Grammy. and also crying on stream in a 28-inch wig. the trophy thing explains everything and nothing.

This is the full PlaqueBoyMax story: Maxwell Elliott Dent, the gifted kid turned Twitch and YouTube phenom, from the Basement Boys and FaZe

The Cost Of Getting To Big

okay the KSI leaving the Sidemen thing is so much worse than "guy quits group." he reportedly went to them in APRIL offering to stay part-time — videos every two weeks — and got told no. then he dropped the leaving video on the last day of May and Simon literally found out on the way to Soccer Aid. no heads up. best friend of TWENTY YEARS. and the fans? they went and sent racial abuse and death threats to his editor, Mo, a guy who had nothing to do with any of it. and the wildest part is 2017 KSI once warned his own brother about chasing numbers instead of passion, and 2026 KSI walked right back into it.

The Cost Of Breaking The Internet

Kai Cenat became the FIRST person ever to hit a million Twitch subs — 27 days, Snoop Dogg literally gifting 50,000 subs in one go (that's like a quarter million dollars just to push him over the line). And then? He got on a plane to Europe, posted that he'd lost touch with reality from streaming nonstop, the relationship ended days later, and he just… vanished for nine months. Fans had already renamed the whole thing "the begathon" because he had to keep begging for subs to move the clock. Winning broke him.

How DeeBlock Built Duke Dennis

the wildest part of the Duke Dennis story: this man — the smoothest guy on the entire internet — used to fully believe he lived inside the Naruto universe. like training in the woods, Walmart headband, homemade kunai, the whole thing. and the day his nerd arc ended is the same day his cousin Dee walked into his life as the one person who believed in him. after Dee was killed, Duke turned the loss into his whole identity. the neighborhood got renamed DeeBlock. the brand, the nickname, the chain he wears every single stream — all for Dee. he just never got to see Duke make it.

The Real Bruce DEO

Bruce Deo talking behind the backs of Kai Cenat and YourRage while being all buddy-buddy with them in public — and instead of ending him it basically made him bigger. man got banned on a burner, spent the ban on vacation in Japan (the exact trip he was mad people stole from him), came back and pulled 13k subs in two weeks. AND the petty conspiracy stuff everyone clowned him for? the crypto scam, the viewbotting? turned out he was RIGHT.

How Marlon & Lacy Took Over Streaming

the most-watched friendship on the internet right now literally started because a broke Swedish guy stream-sniped a free haircut. Marlon had almost a MILLION TikTok followers and got 50 people on his first stream. meanwhile Lacy once paid hundreds of dollars just to bully Clix through text-to-speech until Clix called him on Discord to threaten him — and THAT'S how the friendship that got him into FaZe started. a donor also once paid him $2,500 to shave his head AND eyebrows then refunded it after. bald, browless, and scammed. anyway they co-own a whole empire now and didn't even pay for the haircut that started it all.

Kai VS Speed - Car Wars

okay so kai cenat and ishowspeed have spent over a MILLION dollars on cars combined and one of them flew to asia specifically to buy a $250,000 chinese electric supercar that can literally bounce and dance on command. speed also has a lamborghini wrapped in portugal colors with a ronaldo sticker on the hood because he is who he is. and somehow both of them also own the SAME $1,500 ford scorpio from 1985. the range is sending me.

YouTubers That Lost Everything

We talk a lot about internet drama, but the absolute speed at which these multi-million dollar YouTube and Twitch empires completely turned to ash can be surprising

The Quickest Financial Drain: A streamer named Goobr literally called a friend who was in the middle of a college exam, begged for money, got a $50,000 wire transfer, and lost the entire amount playing blackjack in exactly 20 seconds before instantly shutting down his stream.

The Federal Offense: Trevor Jacobs literally crashed a whole airplane into a forest on purpose just to harvest 4 million views, tried to destroy the evidence, and ended up with a 6-month federal prison sentence.

The Most Cringe Apology: Colleen Ballinger addressing literal lingerie-to-minor allegations by pulling out a ukulele and singing a diss track at her own critics.

The Juiced Lie: Liver King building an entire brand on a "natural primal lifestyle" while secretly spending $11,000 a month on steroids, followed by getting arrested for threatening Joe Rogan.

The Shoplifting Run: Nina Lin beating a sexual assault ban on Twitch only to immediately go live on stream shoplifting steaks at Target and telling her chat to calm down because "Target isn't losing money."

Speed's Caribbean Tour

If you didn’t catch Speed’s 20-day sprint through 15 Caribbean islands, you missed what can only be described as a real-life cartoon character tearing through the tropics:

Trinidad: He immediately located a KFC like a heat-seeking missile and ate 5,000 calories of local street food.

Dominican Republic: His stream hit 1 MILLION live viewers, which led to a massive view-botting scandal where his hosts literally painted over his commemorative mural out of spite.

Jamaica: He ran a track relay race against a literal government minister and lectured a kid wearing a Messi shirt about Ronaldo’s frontal lobe development.

Guadeloupe: He was ironically declared the "President," got a green card tattoo, and immediately dropped his $5,000 custom streaming phone into the ocean.

Saint Kitts: He ate pig's blood black pudding and won a footrace against an 11-year-old's school donkey.

St. Maarten: His body completely shut down from the 3-week grind, causing him to collapse live on stream in front of millions before crawling across the border into the French free zone to finish the tour.

The man is planning to stream from actual outer space next and honestly? No one can doubt his commitment. 🌴🏃‍♂️
