Alright, here's my story. I got sick. The tl;dr is that my gallbladder was not functioning like it should have and needed to be removed, but it took three years for doctors to believe me, three and a half to get proper imaging, and four to actually have it removed. More below. 🧵

Once you hit 25, society will repeatedly tell you you are too old for many things. This is across the board, from career, to hobbies, to expanding your family.
The reality is you are likely not too old for most of those things. Yes, some things are biological and there is a

I have no qualms with people moving to Signal, but the sheer amount of misinformation about WhatsApp's encryption and whether or not they are reading your messages (they are not) is really concerning. WhatsApp uses a (strong) fork of Signal's protocol. Their whitepaper is public.

Think about it this way: someone has no MBA, no VC connections, was not able to be a founder. Cuts some small cheques but understands the risks. Learns from their experiences and gets attention from other startups. Hustles and gets VC attention with their record and learnings.

Yes. The are crowdsourced investment sites like Seed Invest, on which you can look through startup pitches and throw money in if you think they're good. Of course, you can also get accredited as an investor by the SEC and join a syndicate on Angellist, but that's more work.

Small cheques cut to startups run by friends is definitely a huge thing, especially because it's rare for people in their 20s to become accredited and be part of a syndicate/be an LP in a large fund. 1-25k is totally doable for the average 20-something SWE at a large tech company

Folks going, "I told you so! This was a pump and dump and you fell for it!" — are you idiots? No one thought this was a long-term play. The issue at hand is brokerages blocking perfectly legal trades. THAT is what is tanking these stocks today, and it is absolutely unacceptable.
