In his latest <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OkmSMSq0ZU&amp;t=161s161s">YouTube video</a>, the 21-year-old challenged fellow content creator and Hype House manager Thomas Petrou to a boxing match — with a $500,000 purse — to settle the pair's recent feud and to donate money to charity."I'm here to say one last thing. And this is an offer you cannot deny – I challenge you to a legitimate boxing match," Hall said in the video, addressing Petrou directly. "Eight rounds, three-minute rounds, scored professionally."Hall added that representatives from Triller, a short-form video app and TikTok rival, informed him that the two could face off in an undercard match for the Mike Tyson versus Roy Jones Jr. exhibition on November 28.Hall went on to tell his 2.7 million subscribers that in the event of his loss, he would donate $500,000 to the charity of Petrou's choice. However, if he were to best his opponent, he would donate the $500,000 to a charity of his own fans' choosing. "There comes a moment in a man's life when they have to face reality, look themselves in the mirror and ask themselves, 'Am I a real man? Do I really wanna make the world a better place? Or am I just full of s---- and a total f------ p----,'" Hall taunted. "That moment, right now, is actually for you, Thomas."<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2OkmSMSq0ZU" frameborder="0"></iframe>In 24 hours, the video has racked up over 1 million views.<h2>Hall's challenge follows the recent escalation of the content creators' ongoing feud</h2>In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-ZI1jK2in8">YouTube video</a> on August 8, Hall detailed his most recent clash with Petrou — and floated the idea of the two putting their differences to rest with a boxing match. After Hall accused the Hype House of creating "fake content," in a filmed interview, Petrou responded by commenting that the creators "all make the same content" and should "talk about [the recent explosion in] Lebanon instead."Hall then argued that his content was different from the Hype House's videos "for 10-year-olds," to which Petrou fired back: "I'll stick to making videos my supporters enjoy, you stick to getting locked up for drug use, bullying people for clout and shotgunning Redbulls" (a clear reference to Hall's <a href="https://www.insider.com/jaden-hossler-bryce-hall-arrested-texas-tiktok-sway-house-2020-5">May 25 arrest</a> on drug-related charges in Lee County, Texas). "You can't argue with me and then say you don't wanna feed into drama because there's more important issues going on the world right now — which is completely true — and then continue to feed into the drama," Hall said in the video. "I wanted to set up a boxing thing with him but, I wanted to do it like, you know, kind of like the Logan [Paul] and KSI thing. That s--- is f------ dope."Hall went on to speculate that Petrou would not participate because he knew Hall would win and was "scared" of the competition and potentially getting embarrassed "in front of millions of people." Petrou has not publicly responded to Hall's challenge.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The landscape of elite <keyword id="6762469" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="TikTok">TikTok</keyword> collab houses has shifted significantly in recent months. </li><li>At the <keyword id="8532020" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Hype-House">Hype House</keyword>, new members and a change of scenery are breathing new life into an established brand. </li><li>Likewise, a couple of rocky months for <keyword id="9307970" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="sway-la">Sway LA</keyword> has ultimately led the group to more stable ground. </li><li>The Clubhouse is vying for "rookie of the year" status as its creator roster and real estate footprint continue to grow. </li><li>Mansion life isn't always sweet for the young creators who live in these houses. Often, it means sacrificing their privacy and learning to live with unexpected (sometimes downright creepy) fan drop-ins. </li></ul>At three of TikTok's most popular and influential collab houses, change seems to be the only constant. Some of those changes have been happening quietly in the background, while others have been incredibly public and tumultuous. Given how much news they've generated, it's hard to believe all of these groups are less than a year old. The Hype House, led by Chase Lil Huddy Hudson and Thomas Petrou, is only about six months in. Sway, or Sway LA, formed shortly thereafter in January. The Clubhouse is even newer to the scene, although it's certainly made up for lost time. Now, we're starting to see three rollercoaster months of drama smooth out. Old friends-turned-rivals are reuniting. Popular creators are leaving and joining established houses, while new houses pop up elsewhere. And as these collab houses continue to grow their followings by thousands every week, the effects of viral internet fame are starting to impact members' real lives. <h2>Sway LA is rolling with the punches.</h2>The <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@theswayla?lang=en">Sway House</a>, also known as Sway LA, is Los Angeles TikTok collab house that has a reputation for controversial personalities. An unwavering commitment to sparking and embracing controversy has, up to this point, been the group's defining trait. For the uninitiated, the "Sway boys" are shade-room regulars, known for engaging in Twitter spats, sparking <a href="https://youtu.be/9HpeXVCuqjU">minor feuds</a>, dropping <a href="https://youtu.be/zIUSMI1Y-7o">diss tracks</a>, and, occasionally, <a href="https://twitter.com/JoshRichards/status/1255164522651742208?s=20">flashing fans</a> on Instagram Live.In May, while vacationing in Texas, two of Sway's most recognizable faces, Bryce Hall and Jaden Hossler, were <a href="https://www.insider.com/bryce-hall-arrest-drug-sway-house-jaden-hossler-charges-2020-5">arrested on drug-related charges</a>. In the aftermath, Hossler and fellow Sway boy Josh Richards announced they'd be taking an <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiktok-josh-richards-sway-house-hiatus-apology-2020-6">indefinite hiatus</a> from the group. In an interview with Insider, Richards cited his own "recklessness" and penchant for "the LA partying <keyword id="15482" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="lifestyle">lifestyle</keyword>" as his personal reasons for the planned break. The controversy triggered a flood of unexpected fan drop-ins at the house. The visits were likely meant to be a show of support for Sway amid the chaos, but on Twitter, member Anthony Reeves had to repeatedly ask fans to stop <a href="https://www.insider.com/sway-house-bryce-hall-jaden-hossler-arrests-texas-fans-harassment-2020-5">pulling up to the house</a>, knocking on the door, peering through the windows, and trying to record videos of the group at home. Hopefully, Sway's newest member, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/blakegray/">Blake Gray,</a> is prepared to deal with the scrutiny. <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:800; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px); data.width~800;"><div style="padding:8px;"><div style="background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:62.4537037037% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"><div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"></div></div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdr43Vj5gi" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">swag</a> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A post shared by Blake Gray (@blakegray) on Jun 15, 2020 at 10:18am PDT<time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2020-06-15T17:18:21+00:00">Jun 15, 2020 at 10:18am PDT</time></div></blockquote><h2>Fresh faces are moving in and filling vacancies at the Hype House, as the group grapples with ongoing <a href="https://www.insider.com/trespassing-break-in-hype-house-2020-6">privacy issues</a>. </h2>The Hype House is a Los Angeles-based Generation Z content creator collective that originally included twenty of Tik Tok's rising and established stars.Following an internal <a href="https://www.insider.com/hype-house-members-drama-split-daisy-2020-3">legal dispute and power struggle</a>, the Hype House lost a few members this year, including sisters <a href="https://www.insider.com/charli-d-amelio-bio-how-old-tiktok-famous-renegade-super-bowl-2020">Charli</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/dixie-damelio-interview-profile-tiktok-fame-charli-2020-4">Dixie D'Amelio</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiktok-hype-house-facing-power-struggle-legal-dispute-2020-3">Daisy Keech</a>, who subsequently went on to found the Clubhouse.

But the multi-million dollar upgrade has come with a problem — a line of cars filled with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBcNpomn_n2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">fans and their parents</a> has been forming outside their new digs <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBck_FUnqHz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">every night,</a> according to Petrou. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBf0cibHEJA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">Phone harassment</a> has been an issue for member Tony Lopez, too.Not long after moving out, the group learned of <a href="https://www.insider.com/trespassing-break-in-hype-house-2020-6">a break-in</a> at the <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiktok-hype-house-teens-today-show-tour-2020-2">old Hype House</a> — the Los Angeles mansion that, until recently, was their home. It remains unclear how and when the breach occurred, but multiple members who lived in the house reported missing possessions (include Kouvr Annon's pet fish) and extensive damage to the home's interior. The house, on which the group still pays rent, had been "<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBWj0fqFYq0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">deep-cleaned</a>" by maids before move-out last month. For now, Hype House management has "turned the full investigation over to law enforcement."<h2>Amid a storm of controversy that's followed both houses, rumors swirled that they could be merging, but they don't appear to be true.</h2>The <a href="https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/a32811702/hype-house-sway-house-combining-rumors-swype-house/">whispers</a> were helped along by content the houses have been making together recently. Last week, when Richards <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdpFUMASrh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">sported</a> a hoodie from Hudson's merch line on Instagram, fans went wild. Hudson seems to have <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBduOT2H44W/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">followed</a> Richards and Hall on Instagram again after the pair dropped a <a href="https://youtu.be/zIUSMI1Y-7o">diss track</a> about him in March. Hall, meanwhile, has been popping up in Hype House cofounder Thomas Petrou's <a href="https://youtu.be/RfCd0vhnmvU">content</a> a lot <a href="https://youtu.be/TSthxjbulyA">lately</a>. According to Michael Gruen of TalentX Entertainment, Sway's parent company, a Sway-Hype merger is not underway. But the two groups are consciously focusing on "building each other up instead of competing.""It's all just a rumor," Gruen told Insider via email.

Los Angeles-based creator Elijah Daniel says he's planning to start this own collab house for "gay and alternative" creatives. On Sunday, the YouTube prankster and vlogger-turned-musician took to TikTok to recruit <keyword id="2893283" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="content-creators">content creators</keyword> to join the newest collective — The Alt Haus. "I'm so sick of seeing all of these straight influencer houses pop up," Daniel said in the video, gesturing to a <a href="https://twitter.com/TaylorLorenz/status/1291818129564274689">tweet</a> by New York Times technology reporter Taylor Lorenz that alerted followers to the formation of Team RAR, another creator house in Los Angeles. "So you know what we're gonna do? We're gonna do it. We're making it. I got an investor to let us create the Alt Haus."Daniel then teased a verified TikTok account called <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@thealthaus">@thealthaus</a>, a handle that he appears to have owned previously under the name Carter Parker (an alias <a href="https://twitter.com/elijahdaniel/status/1271460995290914821">he says</a> he used to "infiltrate straight and republican TikTok")."Tag all of your favorite creators," he instructed viewers. "Who should be in the Alt Haus? Who deserves to be in the Alt Haus?"<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@elijahdaniel/video/6859017972904758534" data-video-id="6859017972904758534" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@elijahdaniel" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@elijahdaniel">@elijahdaniel</a> <a title="greenscreen" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/greenscreen">##greenscreen</a> <a title="fyp" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fyp">##fyp</a> it’s time. @thealthaus <a target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - elijahdaniel" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-6859017973403863813">♬ original sound - elijahdaniel</a> </section> </blockquote> In just one day, the clip racked up over 500,000 views and thousands of comments from followers suggesting LGBTQA and alternative content creators.In a follow-up <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@elijahdaniel/video/6859030256838380806">video</a>, Daniel posed a series of interview questions for potential collaborators, encouraging creators to duet the clip with their Alt Haus auditions.

With the deluge of audition tapes came criticism about the aspiring creators' levels of "alternativeness" — but Daniel says he isn't entertaining the disapproval in the comments section. "I see a lot of you guys being rude to creators that are making auditions and telling them they're not 'gay enough' or not 'alt enough.'

The risky allure of WiFi Money: private jets, sports cars, and ruined investors

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Conservative commentator Bari Weiss just dropped "episode 2" of the "Twitter Files." </li><li>The new information dump focused on content moderation.</li></ul>The "Twitter Files" part two on Thursday claimed to "reveal" a "secret" operation in which the platform limited the reach of certain accounts and posts — but Twitter's practice of hiding some tweets hasn't been a secret at all, and what she outlined sounds similar to a December 2 policy announced by Twitter owner Elon Musk.Journalist and conservative commentator Bari Weiss published the latest <a href="https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1601007575633305600?s=20&amp;t=wLRUAmz1A9_3nYYKE61HYA">thread</a>, hyped up by Twitter's new owner Elon Musk, writing that "teams of Twitter employees build blacklists, prevent disfavored tweets from trending, and actively limit the visibility of entire accounts or even trending topics—all in secret, without informing users." Twitter first announced in 2018 it would effectively hide some tweets from conversations and search results, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/WillOremus/status/1601027943324491777?s=20&amp;t=ooa0BvbJKhJ9I74-jS0Ssg">The Washington Post's Will Oremus</a>. <a href="https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/product/2018/Serving_Healthy_Conversation.html">Twitter</a> at the time said it would look at the way other individuals reacted to an account in order to avoid showing tweets that "detract" from conversations.Critics, and there were many, especially as <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/43paqq/twitter-is-shadow-banning-prominent-republicans-like-the-rnc-chair-and-trump-jrs-spokesman">prominent Republicans were impacted</a>, referred to Twitter's practice of limiting certain tweets' visibility as "shadowbanning." But Twitter <a href="https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2018/Setting-the-record-straight-on-shadow-banning">disputed the characterization</a> and said it disliked the term "shadowban," noting the tweets were not being removed from the platform, but removed from search and more difficult to find.In her thread, Weiss said Twitter's Strategic Response Team - Global Escalation Team, known as SRT-GET, was the body tasked with deciding which users were marked for "visibility filtering.""Think about visibility filtering as being a way for us to suppress what people see to different levels. It's a very powerful tool," one senior Twitter employee said, per Weiss.But, she said, Twitter's Site Integrity Policy, Policy Escalation Support team known as "SIP-PES, which Weiss described as a group of top executives, was charged with making the most "politically sensitive" decisions.She name-checked several conservative accounts (Charlie Kirk and Dan Bongino), as well as a doctor's account, that she said were impacted. But Weiss did not add any context in her thread as to why these accounts were impacted, if any Twitter rules were violated or not, or who ultimately made the call to add them to search or trending blacklists.The description outlined by Weiss of Twitter's internal moderation policy appears to fall in line with Musk's own recently-announced approach to content moderation on the site: "Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of reach. Negativity should &amp; will get less reach than positivity," he <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1598752139278532610">tweeted</a> on December 2.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-twitter-bari-weiss-cousins-confidants-2022-12">Insider's Kali Hayes</a> reported earlier this week that Weiss was among a new crop of colleagues that CEO Elon Musk was bringing into the Twitter fold. She was given access to Twitter's employee systems, added to the company Slack, and issued a company laptop, two people told Insider. But Weiss, a former New York Times columnist, is not thought to be a current employee at Twitter. Several reporters with Weiss's outlet The Free Press were also involved in reporting the story, she said, and had "broad and expanding" access to Twitter files."The only condition we agreed to was that the material would first be published on Twitter," she wrote.For Musk's part, he followed-up by announcing that "Twitter is working on a software update that will show your true account status, so you know clearly if you've been shadowbanned, the reason why and how to appeal."<h2>Thursday's thread was the second such installation</h2>The Thursday tweet thread came nearly a week after the first, in which independent journalist Matt Taibbi <a href="https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598822959866683394">wrote</a> that Twitter received and granted some content moderation requests, including from the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-granted-requests-from-trump-white-house-biden-remove-posts-2022-12">Trump White House and Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign</a>. <a href="https://taibbi.substack.com/p/note-to-readers-8d4">On his Substack</a>, Taibbi said that in order to cover the story he "had to agree to certain conditions" but did not specify what they were.According to available internet archives, at least some of the posts the Biden campaign requested be removed included <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/twitter-files-show-biden-campaign-asked-remove-tweets-hunter-biden-2022-12?inline-endstory-related-recommendations=" rel="">nude photos</a> that would have violated Twitter's terms of service under its non-consensual nudity policy. Taibbi did not include any examples of the White House requests.Taibbi also said the content moderation favored Democrats, <a href="https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598829996264390656?s=20&amp;t=QahBJdewzK05vdusZdwNMg" rel=" nofollow">citing campaign donations made by Twitter staff</a>, but did not provide evidence that tweets were removed even if they did not violate the terms of service.<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1598825403182874625">Musk retweeted Taibbi's initial thread</a> adding, "Here we go!" along with two popcorn emojis. <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1598864377750306816">He teased</a> "episode 2" of the series, writing on Friday that the next installment come the following day, only to follow that announcement up a day later with: "<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1599252162688655360">Looks like we will need another day or so</a>."Despite, Musk's assertions, Twitter's actions were not in violation of the First Amendment because "Twitter is not a state actor and the First Amendment applies only to state actors," Doron Kalir, a professor at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, previously told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/first-amendment-explained-twitter-censorship-hunter-biden-laptop-2022-12">Insider</a>.He explained that the First Amendment states "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press," and because Twitter is not considered the government, and is instead an independent company, it does not fall under the First Amendment. "Federal courts in the United State have ruled time and again, and as recently as 2020, that those digital platforms are not state actors, therefore they are not the government, and the government cannot restrict them in any way," Kalir said, referencing the 2020 case <a href="https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2020/02/26/18-15712.pdf" rel="">Prager University v. Google LLC</a>, in which the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled YouTube was not a state actor.

The 'Twitter Files' part 2 claimed to 'reveal' that the platform limited some accounts' reach, but that was already public knowledge &mdash; and in line with Elon Musk's new 'freedom of speech, not freedom of reach' policy

Here's what eight experts have to say.</li></ul>The <keyword id="10080892" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="spac-market">SPAC market</keyword> has been on fire during the pandemic. In fact, 219 special purpose acquisition companies raised <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/spacs-raised-73-billion-more-than-traditional-ipos-blank-checks-2020-12-1029906693">a record $73 billion</a> in 2020, representing a 462% year-over-year jump in proceeds raised by blank-check firms.In the first quarter of 2021 alone, there were <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/spac-market-q1-statistics-volume-166-billion-growing-adoption-2021-3-1030194528">$166 billion of deals</a> across roughly 400 SPACs currently looking for companies to take public. SPACs are so hot even celebrities like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/alex-rodriguez-files-to-form-575-million-spac-slam-baseball-2021-2">Alex Rodriguez</a> and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/colin-kaepernick-spac-blank-check-company-social-purpose-mission-advancement-2021-2">Colin Kaepernick</a> are getting involved. Some praise SPACs as a way to give retail investors access to returns from companies with monumental runways for growth when in the past they'd be forced to wait for an IPO to get exposure.On the other hand, some experts - including Andrew Park of Americans for Financial Reform and Renee M. Jones of Boston College Law School - say SPACs should be reined in.In <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/spac-boom-sec-retail-investors-blank-check-companies-regulation-2021-3-1030157257">a letter</a> to the House Financial Services Committee, Jones and Park said that they believe SPACs are "fueled by conflicts of interest and compensation to corporate insiders at the expense of retail investors."According to data from "A Sober Look at SPACs" by Klausner, Ohlrogge, and Ruan 2020, average returns for SPACs 12 months after their merger was negative 34.9% between January 2019 and June 2020. With this in mind, Insider talked to professors, registered investment advisors, corporate accounting experts, and more about the risks of SPACs.<h3>Here's what they had to say about what investors should be looking for in their next SPAC investment:</h3>1. "When an investor buys shares in a SPAC before a merger and holds those shares through the time of the merger and thereafter, he is paying at least $10 per share, and these days much more, for something like $7 in cash per share to invest in a target company. Assuming the target knows what it is getting and negotiates with the SPAC accordingly, the SPAC shareholder will bear the cost of that shortfall."Of course, the <keyword id="10892804" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="spac-bubble">SPAC bubble</keyword> may continue for a while, and the investor's bet could work out well for that reason. And even before the bubble, some of these deals did work out well for SPAC shareholders. But, an investment in a SPAC merger is either a bet on the bubble, or a bet that the sponsor can create a lot of value for SPAC shareholders following the merger. Historically, such post-SPAC value creation has not been common." - Michael Klausner, Nancy and Charles Munger Professor of Business and Professor of Law at Stanford Law SchoolRead more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stocks-to-buy-cheap-stocks-to-soar-in-the-value-rotation-jpmorgan-2021-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JPMorgan says buy these 50 beaten-down stocks as traders continue to flee high-flyers and pile into cheaper names</a>2. "The main risk with a SPAC versus a traditional IPO is the baseline revenue numbers that are used to value the company. In a traditional IPO, a company cannot use forward guidance (projections) to justify its valuation. The SPAC route allows a company to show projected revenue numbers and get valued off of future earnings. - Mike Murphy, Rosecliff CEO and Managing Partner 3. "Despite all of the hype, investors need to tread very carefully and face two very important decision points: deciding to invest in the SPAC, and the decision to stay with the business combination once it is announced. And making the wrong choice at either of these junctures could come with potentially massive consequences."Therefore, it is imperative that, initially, investors perform independent financial and reputational due diligence of both the investor team and the strategy of the SPAC itself. Once this assessment has been conducted, and an acquisition target is identified, investors will need to ask questions including whether the target is ready to go public, what the history and strength of its management is, and what broader market risks exist, among other things." - Julie Copeland and Sarah Keeling, Partners at StoneTurn4. "SPACs should generally be avoided by retail investors because the SEC is unable to do its normal detailed company review of the IPO, as no operating company has even been identified at that point. As a result, investors would have no idea what they are buying. Invariably, many will suffer losses." - Dr. Howard M. Schilit, Founder and CEO Schilit Forensics, LLC and author of Financial Shenanigans5. "SPAC concerns. 1. SPAC sponsors have different incentives than SPAC investors. Investors have put up most of the capital, while sponsors are usually able to obtain ownership at a discounted price generally through dilution when the SPAC makes an acquisition."Therefore, sponsors have a greater financial incentive to get a deal done and might be less concerned with the longer term returns to investors. 2. Investors face high dilution. Dilution comes from three sources: First, SPAC sponsors compensate themselves with the 'promote' which can be up to 25% of the SPAC's IPO proceeds. Second, investors who redeem their shares prior to IPO receive interest and retain warrants. Third, the SPAC pays underwriting fee for the IPO." - John Ingram, Partner and Chief Investment Officer, at Boston-based RIA Crestwood Advisors. 6. "Given the rapid rise in the number of SPACs there is a lot of capital competing for deals right now, so sponsors may feel the need to overpay in order to get the deal. To this point, we did a quick screen on Bloomberg of U.S. domiciled SPACs and found there are currently 593 SPACs listed. A year ago there were 161. So a significant increase in the number of SPACs. Not all of them are going to find good deals." - Matt Dmytryszyn, Director of Investments, Telemus, an RIA based in Southfield, Michigan Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-investing-crypto-hedge-fund-cio-explains-rally-defi-nfts-2021-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The CIO of a crypto hedge fund breaks down why bitcoin could rally as high as $400,000 in 2 years - and explains why he's also bullish on DeFi and NFTs</a>7. "While the SPAC universe is likely to continue to grow, we would be cautious and stress that due diligence is extraordinarily important in this space. Its allure is driven by the celebrity names, many of whom have little to no investing experience. In addition, you are taking a bet that an attractive company will appear and if one does not there is opportunity lost as you have tied up money that may have earned more elsewhere (e.g., traditional private equity). - Megan Horneman, Director of Portfolio Strategy at Verdence Capital Advisors 8. "If you go and make an investment like that, you need to be prepared that you could potentially lose all of your money. You could potentially not have any return on your money because it takes two years potentially for this to go through its cycle process of getting an IPO done." - Andrew Smith, chief investment strategist, Delos Capital Advisors who told Insider SPACs are one of the riskiest investments in the market.

The SPAC market is booming, but there are plenty of bad buys. Here's what 8 experts say investors should be looking for in their next SPAC investment.

1. Time Your Work Sessions
"Set a timer for thirty minutes and commit to not doing anything else during that time. No phone, no email, no Facebook. Setting a timer frees your mind to focus on the single task at hand without distractions."
- <a href="http://theyec.org/author/andy-drish" target="_blank">Andy Drish</a> | Founder, <a href="http://www.TheReferralSquirrel.com" target="_blank">Referral Squirrel</a> 
2. Try the Pomodoro Technique
"The Pomodoro technique is a very effective work-pause-work method invented by Francesco Cirillo in the late '80s. Each work sprint of 25 minutes is followed by a 5-minute break. First, choose a relatively simple task to accomplish, focus on the task for 25 minutes and then take 5-minute break to grab another cup of coffee. Then, start again. Works like a charm, especially if you're on the move!"

<a href="http://twitter.com/juhaliikala" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false"></a>3. Take Breaks to Network
"I live by a structured schedule, but it's hard to concentrate when there's a lot of opportunity around when I'm working. Scheduling work blocks and breaks is a great way to "reward" myself with time to network, get distracted and enjoy some freedom while still accomplishing my tasks."

<a href="http://www.shesgotsystems.com" target="_blank"></a>4. Reliable WiFi with MiFi
"The danger for me when working on-the-go is the lack of reliable Internet connection. When the connection is spotty, I may get distracted with my phone, a newspaper article and more. Having a MiFi device has been an amazing solution; you're guaranteed to get a fast and fail-free connection so you can work anywhere, anytime."

<a href="http://www.Poshly.com" target="_blank"></a>5. Prep Your Offline Workload
"We tend to have a lot of reliance on Internet access, but sometimes when WiFi is spotty or just unavailable, make sure you have plenty of work you can do offline. You can still upload it online later, if needed. Just thinking about Internet problems can be distracting, so by eliminating the need for Internet access, you can focus more energy on getting your work done."

"When I work away from my desk, I usually list out three things I have to get done. I can network or do anything else I want as soon as I finish that work. I make a point of not doing anything else until I finish that work. I've never had a problem telling someone that I simply must get something emailed off before I chat -- fellow entrepreneurs in particular often understand!"

"I'm a big fan of giving myself artificial deadlines for whatever I happen to be working on, and doing so can really help you stay focused wherever you happen to be. Make sure the deadlines are tough to meet, though, otherwise you'll be easily distracted by whatever is going on around you. If you've got twenty minutes to finish up that presentation, your eyes will stay on the prize."

"When traveling, you generally only have a few minutes here and there to really accomplish anything. The way I get around that is to have my to-do list, which is housed at RememberTheMilk.com, stare at me in the face with Priority 1 projects. I then shut the email off so no new distractions come my way. That combination allows me to get things done and then enjoy the world around me."

"The best tool I have used to help me stay focused on the go is Wunderlist. I can sync my laptop, iPad and iPhone up at all times. If I'm using my phone, I can see the same list of priorities for each client that needs to get done as when I'm on my computer. I think that when you can't visualize everything that needs to get done, you become easily distracted."

"Staying focused outside of the office is all about the environment, so I put on headphones and listen to some light music. Not only does it block out ambient noise, but people are less likely to distract you if they think you can't hear them anyway."

"When working outside of an office or your house, it can be easy to get distracted by the immense amount of noise at coffee shops or in the airport. Investing in a nice pair of headphones is a great way to stay focused on the task at hand and tune out the things going on around you."

"When I'm traveling, I divide tasks by location: sitting in the airport, riding in the car, waiting in line, during ascent and descent, and cruising altitude. This requires a bit more planning, but I find that it makes keeping up with email, phone calls and projects relatively easy. The ease and efficiency of never having to wonder what to do now helps me to invest the time wisely."

<a href="http://twitter.com/RealLifeE" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false"></a>13. Which Tasks Are Location Independent?
"If I have to do work in an airport, lobby or Starbucks, I do my best to schedule what I will be working on in advance. Processing data and doing routine tasks is far easier than being creative in these environments. Set yourself up with tasks that you can accomplish given the time, resources and environment."

"Okay, not really dancing; listening to music is kind of a must for me when I'm working in public, while traveling, or otherwise surrounded by people. Let We Are Hunted or The Hype Machine's Popular list drown out the world, especially in the presence of abundant distractions."

<a href="http://playerize.com" target="_blank"></a>15. Keep Co-Working to Truly Work
"Working on the go regularly will help train you to focus while outside your own office. A few years ago, I never would have been able to get four emails done as I walk from gate to gate at the airport, but it's something you can really get good at."
