1/ On How Short Life Is

A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful.

Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?"

It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...

A nicely articulated view from @KyleSamani . I disagree with his conclusion, but A. Not sure I’m right and B. A middle ground is plausible (and arguably we’ve already been in it.). /1

Monday morning meditation: throughout history, being ultra-wealthy required being politically active. Political regimes (and their corresponding property rights) have averaged lifespans shorter than the average human. I.e. your property will eventually get taken from you.

Before BlockTower, I worked at the University of Chicago Office of Investments (endowment) for 4 years. Learned a huge amount from my colleagues. One major lesson was around "smart laziness." /1

🥳 We've been celebrating 10 yrs of Bitstamp! Blowing off steam after a decade of hard work sure feels good.

We’ve also been snatching our people off the dancefloor to ask them about their work, psychic abilities and their superpowers! Check out what they said.

“Miscalibrating” or learning the wrong lessons from the past is an interesting challenge in finance and life. Example, during a bull run, you learn that every smallish dip is a buy. This seems like wisdom, but is obviously just a regime specific heuristic.

Prediction: AI will cause the price of work that can happen in front of a computer to decrease much faster than the price of work that happens in the physical world.

This is the opposite of what most people (including me) expected, and will have strange effects.
