Few in history have inspired as many people as this man. Tom built the Rosetta Stone for trading. For example, 11 years ago I got a brokerage account at Schwab, and stumbled upon an options chain. There was no direction from Schwab on how to approach it. There was no direction from anyone, anywhere. The only guide online at the time was an endless stream of videos by Tom & @Tony_BATtista, making jokes as they broke down grad school finance concepts like they were times tables. I owe my goals today to that one experience, binge-watching trading tips on @tastyliveshow for an entire summer break, which I did because it was fun! Because of their smiles — their genuine love of the game — the content was engaging, the tips could be trusted, and it became clear that anybody, no matter their qualifications, could learn to generate >15% p.a. and create any life they want. What @tastytrade & @tastycrypto have built in the decade since is so much larger than the media cache they started with. Tom inspired two generations of traders — a community that transcends physical & cultural borders, inspired by common ideals. How rare is that phenomenon today! He & his friends taught people in cute neighborhoods and broken communities alike that anyone, with the right tools, could carry a hedge fund in their pocket. They gave us those tools, and showed us — in common language — how to use them, as if we were all interns at the same investment bank. The Tasty Torch has been passed to the talent those smart smiles attracted, each one a unique derivative of the energy Tom brought to the table. The community is truly stronger than ever. What was once a Cherry Tree is now a Grove of Knowledge. There are 8 Billion People on Earth today. If 16% of them, the top 1σ, learned options like Tom & Co. taught us to, a cooperative larger than the population of China would be able to create futures impenetrable by market forces. That mission has already started on @ethereum @solana @bnbchain @cosmos Thank you, Tom, for giving us the power of your life. You gave us a chance and made the market fun forever. 🍒🌸✌️
