GameStop โ which became a household name during the meme stock craze of 2021 โ has offered to buy ecommerce giant eBay for $55.5 billion, a tie-up that the video game retailer's boss believes could produce a "legit competitor" to Amazon. https://t.co/BUFHFbQabs
Crazily enough, this realization came to me during early adulthood. Life's greatest pursuit is the accumulation of resources. Resources enable growth for all walks of life. Currently playing through some Starcraft in my downtime. $BTC $COIN $SPY
In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree.
Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling.
Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time.
Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.
This position pushed up all the way past $30,000 in total value today if it was still being held. Sold it for a profit of roughly $800. Hindsight is 20/20. Marking for future reference. The market is an orderly example of Chaos Theory. I love it!

@J_Davis132 The first mouse is in the trap; the bear trap. I thought this sounded cool. Then, I had a sudden realization that I was a mouse going up against a bear.
