Went to an Indian restaurant tonight and sat a couple tables down from a grown (white) man eating curry for the first time (he was with his friend, who was clearly introducing him to Indian food).
“This is so good! We should make this and sell it to white people!”
Bro… 😂
The sun sets on all currencies, no matter how dominant they appear. The fiat currencies of the world today are no exceptions. It just… takes time. Likely decades from where we are today, if not half a century for a full transition.
Whatever eventually (we are likely still be 20+ years away) becomes ubiquitous Internet Money (and it will be a cryptocurrency!) will be worth ~1000x the next largest crypto asset.
tl;dr — focus on the process of keeping healthy, learning at a high pace, wanting/spending less, working hard, and investing meaningful amounts (while being right! — putting $ into crypto really helps here).
People keep DMing me for advice. I’ll share what has worked for me, which is still how I’m operating today.
1) Find passions that are healthy and lead to personal growth (these tend to be affordable!)
2) Work hard and invest as much as you can into crypto.
All of this comes full circle. When all you want to do is spend time with loved ones and lean into your hobbies (which are close to free), it creates a virtuous cycle.
The same logic applies today. I feel like my USD earnings are closer to $10M/yr given how much I can continue to invest + my confidence in the space.
I feel this way despite the fact that the yield I generate already dwarfs my income… it’s (still!) all about accumulation!
To this day, I always make it a point to never have more than $15k (my limit used to be $3k!) in my checking account. The rest goes to crypto.
In 2013, when I was making $450K all-in and buying BTC, I felt like I was earning $1M/yr (in reality I was making MUCH more).
