It is always a combination of factors. Don't do what others do.
No hoes. No addictions. No stupid people.
It is my opinion - don't blindly trust but Think.
Working out will make you feel weak when it's actually making you stronger.
Learning new things will make you feel dumb when it's actually making you smarter.
Investing in yourself will make you feel broke when it's actually making you rich.
sometimes i'm jealous of people who just don't care about money. like genuinely don't think about it.
my buddy goes to work, comes home, coaches his kid's baseball team, watches tv. he's never once checked a crypto chart or calculated his net worth or stayed up until midnight researching.
he's perfectly happy. maybe happier than me honestly.
i can't turn my brain off. i'm always calculating. always optimizing. always thinking about the next move. it's made me wealthy but i'm not sure it's made me happier than the guy who just lives his life without keeping score.
the irony of financial freedom is that the personality type that achieves it is usually the same personality type that can't enjoy it. you're too busy chasing the next number.
i'm working on this. slowly. but i think some of you know exactly what i'm talking about.
Some of the bulls in here are soft as hell.
Their bull cases top out at 200-300k.
If BTC was worth just 50% of gold's market cap, it would be trading at 826K today. And it's superior to gold.
I canโt believe Iโm posting this, but I believe the Irish Government has FROZEN my Bank Account.
My bank card has not been working since yesterday - when my posts about the current protests in Ireland began to go viral.
This is insanity. The Irish Government is drunk on power.
"Hi Im government and Ive done nothing but fuck you and screw you over your entire life while ignoring everything you voted for.
You men have no rights whatsoever but now its time to go die in a ditch.
We have done paperwork called a draft so get ready for war."
GET.
FUCKED.
I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize.
Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. Heโs now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness.
Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding.
He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called โ130 of Chatham.โ He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history.
The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. Heโs locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future.
A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite.
Thatโs the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.
Some of our best hires were totally unqualified on paper.
They always had the same qualities: entrepreneurial, high agency, smart, mission aligned, and they got shit done.
If youโre hiring, especially in early stages, seek out & bet on these people. Donโt over-index on resumes.
