И снова третье сентября 1 АПРЕЛЯ
Сегодня День смеха, все устраивают розыгрыши или делятся смешными историями. Такие есть и у меня, вот парочка.
1️⃣ Когда я ходил еще “пешком” в одно большое серьезное финансовое учреждение, не было даже интернета, а телефон был главным инструментом для торговли акциями и облигациями. Компанией руководила некая дама-директор. И вот у нее была секретарша, девочка-блондинка.
Этой милой девочке я позвонил с утра 1 апреля и сказал, что сегодня будет подаваться ток высокого напряжения по телефонным кабелям. И нужно все телефоны возле терминалов накрыть мокрыми тряпками.
Когда мы пришли на работу к началу торгов, все телефоны были накрыты мокрыми тряпками. Где она взяла столько тряпок, я не знаю!
2️⃣Производная второго порядка - работал в крупной инвестиционной компании, где все знали, что я люблю шутить. Было весьма трудно кого-то обмануть. Правда, был один человек мега-ответственный, юрист – никогда не шутил и шуток не понимал.
И вот ранним утром 1 апреля – это был выходной день – у нас назначена тренировка по футболу. Я позвонил ему и сказал, что в зале покрасили полы, тренировка отменяется.
Его даже не нужно было просить – он сам обзвонил всех и отменил тренировку. И все спросонья поверили – тем более, знали, что он точно никогда не шутит, этот парень с серьезным голосом. Народ улегся “досыпать”, отменил свои планы.
Выдержав примерно час, я снова набрал его и объяснил, что пошутил, мол, 1 апреля же. И затем мы с ним уже вдвоем всех обзванивали – сказать, что это была шутка, чтобы они приходили. К сожалению, до некоторых так и не удалось дозвониться во второй раз, видимо, крепко заснули – и тренировка прошла в половинном составе.
☘️ Мне будет очень приятно, если вы улыбнулись! Делитесь своими смешными историями в комментариях!

200M for Email Simplification App!
In 2013, a startup created a user-friendly email app to combine personal and work emails, reducing clicks to complete tasks. Microsoft acquired the app for $200 million after 18 months. Initially, it reached 3 million users at launch, soaring to hundreds of millions three years later. The founder emphasized a goal to simplify, not reinvent, email—echoing Dropbox's approach of enhancing existing solutions. Glassnode notes a 49.6% increase in new investors controlling bitcoin supply, with long-term holders redistributing assets, though it's not seen as a bearish signal. Insights from tech analyst Ali Martinez suggest declining hype around AI agents, affecting specific token prices. Polymarket users estimate a 12% chance the US government will sell seized BTC before Trump's inauguration, with $6.5 billion at stake.
