🦉 Let’s get started with some weekly wisdom

“Get the f*** out of bed b**** go!”

👋 What’s up world

🐉 Akira Toriyama is dead: Either you know (then you are a nerd like me) or you don’t (then you probably had a sad childhood). The dragon ball creator died at age 68.
🏆️ And the Oscar goes to: … the weekly Mixtape for best entertainment in your life. All the other winners, well mainly everything around Oppenheimer winning 6 Oscars in total (best movie, best actor, best supporting actor, best director, … ), you’ll find here. Oh yeah and wanna see Ryan Gosling perform “I’m just Ken” in a pink suit?!
🤖 AI regulation: Europe just passed one of the strongest AI act putting a clear path toward safe and human-centric AI development. It will ban a lot of bad stuff, require more testing & rules and companies will have to disclose the use of AI generated content. More background for you nerds out there. #kiki

📱 Bye bye TikTok (🇺🇸version): ByteDance (the Chinese owner) will be forced to sell TikTok due to national security concerns into U.S. ownership within 165 days. U.S. investor groups are already lining up to buy it.

🚀 IPOs IPOs IPOs…: Looks like a busy summer in Europe with a lot of potential IPOs coming up.
- Klarna: the Swedish buy-now-pay-later fintech is aiming at a $20B valuation in Q3.

- 1komma5: the German solar company is aiming at a €6B valuation in 2025.
- Douglas: the German perfumery is aiming at a €3B valuation later this year.
📈 Not BTC again: Yes, and it’s not going away. After hitting a record high of $73K it retreats to $68k adding roughly 1.500 millionaires daily. We’ll you should have bought it back in 2009!

🤑 Money Lego in the bank: Who would have thought that selling pressed plastic could be such a great business? The BIGGEST toy producer in the world operates at a steady margin of ~25% (23: $9.7B revenues & $2.5B EBIT).
🛢️ Big oil profits: But nothing compared to big oil. Saudi Aramco reported a profit of $121B leaving them at a ~27% margin (23: $440B revenues). The only one applauding here is your rising thermostat this summer 🔥

🏆 Yeaaaah buddy

🏎️ Formula Boring One is back: Verstappen already won the first two races this year after winning 19 out of 22 races last year 🥱 And while it’s not only boring for us normal ones watching it, it also puts all other team valuations at risk. Who wants to invest in a sport where there is only one winner?! Yeah right. Apparently AUDI who bought 100% of the Sauber Team and is getting ready for the 2026 season. And no, Verstappen will only be 29 by then and will most likely be still racing.
⚽️ CL Quarter final draw: If your football enthusiastic friend does not have time in April on Tuesday & Wednesday nights this might be due to the Champions league quarter final matches. Who will advance? My picks are Bayern, Real, PSG & Dortmund.
🥊 Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul: The 57-year-old former heavy weight champion will fight the 27-year-old idiot YouTuber live on Netflix July 20th. Let’s hope Tyson will only bite his ear off.

💡 Get shit done

🍚 The power of rice: Don’t put your wet phone in rice (after you dropped it in the toilet). Maybe just don’t drop it in the toilet first you idiot. Call apple support instead.
🍀 How to attract more luck into your life: Ever wondered how to attract more luck into your life? Here are 3 tips:
1. Find a 1 Pfennig coin. Avoid boring people.
2. Find a 4-leaf clover. If all factors are equal, trust your gut.
3. Don’t drop your phone in rice idiot! Have a poker mindset aka. try a way to hack the system.

🍿 … & chill

⚽️ Typical German: adidas has launched the Euro Cup jersey for Germany with a great TV add. About time adidas got some good press after taking the shit for the Kanye deal. I like both, jersey and especially the spot. What do you Almans think?

🍁 The Gentlemen: Surprisingly good watch on Netflix. Guy Ritchie creates a Snatch x how to sell drugs online fast x some English royal’s show (IMDB 8.3).

🏑 Germany goes Olympia: The German female field hockey national team called DANAS qualified for the Olympic games in Paris this summer. Watch their dream come true (Congrats Anne!).
