“My Kids Aren’t Going to College”

I said this on @PBDsPodcast recently and I said it was because of: “The Paradox”

Here’s what that means…

Today, we are living in a Paradox:

For most people, it’s never been harder to make it today, homes are out of reach, most require 2 incomes, and only 30% of college grads are working in jobs related to their degrees

but at the same time…

it’s never been easier to make money, access any subject online, master in hours, free distribution, digital intelligence, $10trillion sloshing in the system

So why the paradox, why do people fall in one side or the other today?

The people who thrive today aren’t smarter, as in education terms.

They’re the ones who recognize what children once understood instinctively:
“life is a game”

Every game has:
   •   Rules
   •   Constraints
   •   Strategies
   •   And cheat codes

The problem isn’t effort.

The problem is…
school trains people to follow instructions inside a game that no longer exists.

In the Intelligence Age, you don’t wait to be assigned a role

You learn how the system works

You use leverage
You play to win

So my kids, are learning the game, figuring out how to work within that game, instead of waiting for someone to give them permission to have a job and be told what to do.

Nvidia CEO: “you cannot show me a task that is beneath me.”

The enemy of continuous growth is arrogance, zero sum mindset and a sense of entitlement.

Working at a company where half the people are based in Germany 🇩🇪 and the other half are based in the US 🇺🇸 really gives you a perspective on how both of these people think and work.

Germans are super high maintenance to work with, every new idea needs to come w a set of predefined rules and structure before action is taken meanwhile with Americans you give them some crumbs and as long as the idea feels and seems good they will jump into it and solve problems as they go.

Germans think the “American way” is inefficient or careless but the reality is that life is rarely predictable and often rewards action and speed over cautiousness or fear of failure.

I think Americans are right about this, risk is something to be managed in motion. Action creates information. Yes, the cost might be rework and sometimes chaos but the upside is momentum and learning.

@Mylovanov You wanna put these words in his mouth...
What he said has absolutely NOTHING to do with your misleading statement :)
At least have some decency and provide subtitles for those who don't understand Russian.

PulseChain dot com has been upgraded.

[Richard Heart @RichardHeartWin]

Things people care to check for when they inspect tokens, no admin key, no ability for anyone to mint / inflate supply. No ability for anyone to turn off transfers. No taxes, or fees. No proxy contracts, oracles or reentrancy. It's nice to know a token has none of these things.

[Richard Heart @RichardHeartWin]

Today the SEC notified the court that it “...does not intend to file an amended complaint...” and their deadline to do so has expired. The Court previously dismissed the SEC’s entire case. Richard Heart, PulseChain, PulseX, and HEX have defeated the SEC completely and have achieved regulatory clarity that nearly no other coins have. They're now safer to work with in ways that almost no other coins are. The SEC walked away from some other cryptocurrency cases voluntarily, but this is the only case where the SEC lost and crypto won across the board, with a dismissal in court of every single claim the SEC brought.

This is a victory for open-source software, cryptocurrency, and free speech. The SEC actually sued software code itself in this case, claiming it could be an alter ego of a person. This would have set a terrible precedent and caused perhaps multiple billions of dollars of damage to the vital open source and free software industry that powers most of the Internet and your speech on it.

Why do people constantly tell men to marry, when every man that's been married, says it was one of their worst decisions?

@itsolelehmann 1. Naknick helps businesses engage their customers through branded gaming experiences that are fun and interactive
2. It’s cool because these games boost brand recognition, encourage purchases, collect customer insights, no downloads or intrusive ads

Bitcoin Who is to blame for low prices? You, the sellers, present and past. The governments for dumping Billions (Germany, USA.) The hackers and exploiters, and those who go hacked. The forced sellers who thought borrowing wasn't selling. Those sitting in "stables" instead of real coins. Fans of POW that gave billions to power companies. Billions wasted in brand advertising on stadiums and sports teams that never even generate a click. Oh and the regulatory agencies that for a decade spread fear and confusion about a simple public immutable ledger. Oh, and the Billion in legal fees dealt to the industry, as reported from some association whose name I can't remember. Oh, and the bankruptcies from all the companies you idiots gave your money and coins to. And the $1B+ that went to lawyer fees there, lol.

All of this adds up to more supply in the market, which makes lower prices. These are mostly supply side things. Then there's the demand side. You have no call center, you do not outbound calling, you do no email, you do no physical mail, you have no ads anywhere, why would anyone buy? They've never heard of you.

Reduce supply. Reduce inflation. Reduce costs. Increase demand. Compete and win. You really have world changing technology and when it stops going down, it tends to go up the hardest. Ethereum, stop building and start marketing, what you've got is already far far better than it needs to be, and you're already incurring tech debt for no reason with half the things your pushing, that no end user actually wants. Like, making everyone use L2s, instead of the L1. Dumb.

And finally, if the game is what is going to get back up the hardest, I think PulseX, PulseChain, and HEX are pretty cool. Or maybe something pump dot tires will garner attraction outside the community.
