Being useful is more MAGNETIC than being rich.

Most men get this wrong, they think money is what creates aura.

It is not.

It is the way you acquired it.

Money can be impressive, obviously, but it becomes much less impressive when it appears disconnected from competence, courage, discipline, or some usefulness to the world.

Suppose someone wins the lottery tomorrow and ends up with the same net worth as Elon.

Who would you rather meet? The lucky one, or the one who acquired it through ambition, obsession, competence, and repeated proof of ability?

This is exactly why the useful man is more magnetic than the rich man.

Let me introduce you to RHP: Resource Holding Potential.

If you are not familiar with it, google it.

RHP is the ONLY metric a man should focus on, because being HIGH RHP is what leads to abundance. It is not just about the resources, it is about your ability to acquire them, protect them, multiply them, and recover when you get mauled.

You see......There is nothing people worry about more than the future. They worry about money, status, family, decline, relevance, and the general instability of life.

A high RHP person signals that he has an innate ability to deal with that instability. He demonstrates, through action, that he can create options where other people only see doom.

That is what produces aura.

That is what creates the gravitational pull.

Because most people are weak, and our tribal nature wires us to seek shelter in the stronger. High RHP makes you that shelter.

The lesson is to understand that money is not the real goal. RHP is. If you focus only on being rich, you end up chasing the appearance of power instead of becoming the source of it.

So become useful. Become the kind of person who can acquire, protect, adapt, and stay dangerous. Then money, and everything else only you know you are chasing, has a better chance of becoming a consequence.

Money is an aura tool only for men whose story is not consequential enough to be known.

One of the smart things I always did, even when I went from broke to being able to get my own home is in the interim, be it all the different motorbikes and cars I got, I would always buy them outright used but great condition and always shoot for a car well well below what I could afford.

I was never worried about social status. And never acted different once my situation was radically different from my peers. Even as a young man.

I also saw the trend of finance with cars and people who are for all intents and purposes objectively broke when you merge assets and liabilities, but drive very new and nice cars that they dont own and by the time they do for a depreciating asset they pay much more than they would have if they just saved up and stopped extending the things keeping them broke and lenders rich.

Today it almost means nothing when you turn up with a newish car.

Even if you bought it and you dont talk about money, dont show it, people will assume you are on finance like vast majority of people, so that wow factor doesnt even exist unless its trending towards exotic car.

You see, now people just do it to keep up. When I was younger, it was a sign of wealth.

You may think you have confidence because of the things you can own, but it doesnt hold a candle to the confidence you get from knowing all that and choosing modesty.

Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, you become a slave to the things you feed.

The idea of money is to free you from slavery but what noone will tell you is that most people unawares use it to further tighten the noose.

A rich person may not even notice this because of all the other freedoms he has.

Reading my tweet with contempt. ("Only a broke larp would say that, he exposed himself with that post")

Good. You sound defensive. Might want to ask why?

Fear the man who has nothing left to lose.

That version of you is "free".

If you manage to do both.
Then you could be a problem.

Even better if you choose not to be.

Young, old, rich or poor, the more you guard your personality from what you either own (rich) or dont own (poor),

You keep being "free".

"For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world but lose his own soul."

You came out your mother with nothing.

You leave with nothing. Not even your private phone, pictures and messages or email are yours anymore.

You leave with nothing.

Others inherit it all, then they eventually leave with nothing.

So what are we doing here?

Now that's question a free man asks, and has the "freedom" to look for an answer.

The rest. "Whip whip", crack on back on to work, or check your portfolio. Time is money remember.

Oh shoot.

Only one of those you can never get back.

He who has ears, let him hear.

@jords What will be your target on hype in bull market?

[jords @jords]

not trying to virtue signal but wanted to share my response to a dm i received in case it helps anyone else struggling rn. ive received a few from ppl who are hurting atm and for whatever reason find me approachable, i try to help where i can

CT can be incredibly toxic n ppl chase unrealistic targets then get depressed when falling short, or end up further behind as a result. anyways, here is my response:

hello friend, thank you for your message. im sorry to hear you're going through it right now. how old are you? first off i will say that no one is hurting more about your life than you, from an objective observer the problems you've listed are all solvable and there is plenty of hope to be found

you have parents who are willing to house you, that's a good start. ppl will always compare someone to someone else, it's up to us to feel confident in ourselves in order to rise above the comparisons, no one is better at being you

the debt sucks but money is a solvable problem and much better to have than a problem with your physical health. it does sound like you need to do a lot of work on your mental health though, you need to be reading good things and developing good habits that make you understand there is much life left to live and the best times are ahead

we live for fucking ages now and that's exciting bc it means you can be an unrecognisably better version of yourself and get to live essentially another life. you've known pain and that's what it takes to see growth

we so often overthink the worst case scenario but we rarely give time to how quickly it can all turn around. how quickly the sun can shine again

my first recommendation would be to share these thoughts with your partner, a therapist would be ideal but w debt your partner is the right call to start. it's a red flag that i am the most comfortable person for you to talk to about your troubles, it's certainly much better than no one and just having written it down is helpful, but the ppl in your life who love you will be able to support you far better than i can

my girlfriend is just about to move in with me after a while doing long distance and i can't wait. that alone is worth you sorting your shit out so you too can feel that amazing feeling some day

my actionable recommendation would be to read some of the posts ive put out on substack and try to implement the learnings in your life. start with baselines (linked) and try to develop a morning routine that you stick to then improve it over time.

i would also recommend reading 'how money changed me'. there's many books i can recommend too but start with the easy accessible stuff, it's in my voice which i presume you can relate to if you've sent this to me

i really hope you start feeling better homie, i know you can't see any path forward but from where i sit i can't see any way you don't figure it out and start seeing the colour return to the world. you have your parents alive and a girl who cares for you, that's a great base to rebuild something special

good luck, i believe in you :')

Can honestly say that trading assets in a bear market that I thought were great and going much higher at a later point was always a bad decision and a waste of time.

Pendle my biggest example from the previous cycle.

You feel like a genius for a few weeks/months and then you feel like a total moron a year later.

Repeatedly selling and buying back assets you believe in is extremely difficult. You will likely end up with less size in the asset and underperform having simply held.

Bear markets are not for getting cute. They are the best possible time to position at attractive valuations for longer time horizons.

Of course, you must be good at asset selection, and if you aren’t then selling bear market rips on vapour will of course be the right decision.

The previous cycle favoured traders. I lean towards this cycle favouring holders as we get much more concentrated flows into a few winners for longer periods of time.

[shiv @Alphase02396172]

@Innerdevcrypto But then how do you operate in the world, you need to cling to get motivated, let's say I want to be rich, you need to get attached to that idea to work towards that goal, isn't it

[shiv @Alphase02396172]

@xydotdot @rasmr_eth Hilarious roast

[shiv @Alphase02396172]

@xydotdot @rasmr_eth 😅😂😂

[shiv @Alphase02396172]

@xydotdot I like being in solitude, and that being my preference, have not developed my social skills a lot. Thinking to join Toastmaster or some clubs to improve on those skills

[XY @xydotdot]

A tip from one antisocial to another.

There is nothing wrong with preferring to be alone. Some people think better with space, and being constantly available becomes exhausting when it is not intentional. Having no insecurity around solitude is a strength, because it means your sense of self does not depend on constant social validation. The mistake is assuming preference and skill are the same thing.

You can prefer to be alone and still understand that the world is distributed socially. Almost every major opportunity first appears as a person before it becomes anything else.

Being antisocial by nature is fine. Letting it become social incompetence is very expensive.

@xydotdot I want to do something but I don't know what and where to https://t.co/iX3yMtuIKV I am just confused on what should I do with AI? Earlier this week, I was able to create an functional website within an hour in Claude for my martial arts teacher. That was amazing tbh to do that

@sdethe9 I am trusting @hmalviya9, since he tagged it, have donated some money to you to your soul address. Hope your mother gets well soon

[shiv @Alphase02396172]

@sdethe9 How much money you need?

[VD @hmalviya9]

The Return of Kalki..

The Upanishads were created to address a couple of false positives in the Vedic tradition according to the demand of the time.

Now, thousands of years after the Upanishads, if you think we can completely rely on them without doing iterations based on the current demand of the time, then that’s a very self-sabotaging argument.

So, the nation's obsession with ancient wisdom won't bring any positive outcome to society if it doesn't evolve with the demand of the time, especially considering we're left with a small fraction of the mental abilities compared to what our ancestors had thousands of years ago when they used to memorize all those heavy scriptures.

We need new-age sages.

Enlightened content creators will play that role. The knowledge will be received from the same portal from which the wisdom of the Vedas appeared.

It's time to connect with the flow; nothing should be more important than that. Build skills, connect with the flow, work hard, and money will flow.

When you feel disconnected from material success, you begin with self-discovery - go all in.

Don't stop.
Don't worry about what others think of you.

People are sleeping.

You need to make them awake.

Kalki is just a metaphor.. awakeners are Kalki, and there will be thousands of them.

@hmalviya9 Been doing vipasana as a meditation tool, but I find it boring don't know why, will try this though now, thank you
