Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. That’s for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!
The only real risk that has ever existed for Bitcoin is quantum cracking SHA256. More specifically how do we handle the Satoshi stack when we do the upgrade. It’s too dangerous to leave exposed but it would deeply risk Bitcoin’s credibility for everyone to agree to burn the Satoshi stack. Even this though is almost certainly solvable. And as long as that is true, Bitcoin is going to $1M+ per coin eventually. Which is why i am buying.
You want a business with low status.
You want a business that isn’t sexy, exciting, or even a little bit interesting. You don’t care what people think about you, and you don’t care what other people think about your business idea. I’ll give you a few scenarios:
Scenario #1: “Nick runs a crypto AI startup. Wow!” Boo! This is not good.
Scenario #2: “Nick runs a pest control company.” Great.
Scenario #3: “Nick cuts grass and manages a few crews.” Even better.
Scenario #4: “Nick hauls junk.” Perfect.
If you need to status test your business, try this.
Go to your grandma (or any older adult) and tell them what you have in mind. If they say, “wow that is such a good idea!” It means that it is actually a terrible idea, highly competitive, and nobody has won that game before.
BUT if they say, “oh, good for you,” that means your business is boring, has been done before, and is likely to succeed. Don’t forget. You WANT a business with low status because this will attract less sophisticated competition.
The truth is that people watch too much Shark Tank and think about entrepreneurship through a new-idea lens.
This makes them delusional about what is actually likely to be successful. If no one has succeeded before or if your business doesn’t exist yet, it is because nobody has been able to win the game and make money doing what you want to be doing. And if nobody has won, why would you want to play that game?
