Attempting to grasp Bitcoin forced me to learn about:
Game Theory
Austrian Economics
Low time preference
Inflation vs. deflationary tech
History
Computer Science
Best rabbit hole ever.
I never made more than $45,000 in my life until I turned 32, embarrassing I know.
Then in a matter of 9 months via a Full-Stack Development course with
@bloomtech
I was able to increase my salary to $80,000
A 77% increase in less than a year.

@saifedean

Stop voting. Shift all focus to building the parallel society.
Bitcoin. Sovereign data storage. Shaking your ranchers hand. Growing a garden. Taking your kids out of public schools.
This is the way.
You won't change the system from within. It's not possible. Too much momentum.

Keep throwing sand in their gears.
It's working.
The complexity of their plans and their unsustainable systems will collapse under their own weight.
Delay delay delay.
And create distance anyway you can.

It’s like if a major sports team had no salary cap and they could buy all the best players and just bench them so their competitors couldn’t sign them.

AMAZING.

Hoping more leaders will follow his lead.

With respect, a pill doesn’t “cure alcoholism” it only temporarily can push down the urges.
The root of most addictions is suppressed emotions (trauma).

You know those +400 banks that died 12 months ago?
Yeah, they're still dead.
This is the month that their bodies float to the surface.
Watch bank consolidation / centralization like you've never seen before.

The seeds of great companies are sown years before they’re built.
