6 years ago today I beat Klitschko & became unified heavyweight champion.
But soon after I came down with mental health struggle. Nobody is ever safe from mental health. I continue to battle on a daily basis.
To anyone struggling, never give up. Keep fighting. God bless you x
The Money Paradox
You have to lose money in order to make money.
Every successful investor & builder has stories of the invaluable lessons learned from a terrible loss in their career.
Sometimes you have to pay to learn.
Put skin in the game. Scared money don't make money!
Career advice I would give my younger self:
- pick a nascent industry w/ huge growth potential over next decades (tech in 2000-20, crypto now)
- figure out your superpower (entrepreneur vs operator vs investor)
- work for yourself, not someone else
@yimbyarts @Filecoin@storj@chia_project Yeah at @storj we have seen many people switch over to us for NFT hosting. Makes no sense for people to be hosting their NFT on centralized Amazon AWS, but seen it plenty times. Would really like to see more video #NFTs too, but it's still early.
The Productivity Paradox
Work longer, get less done.
Parkinson's Law says that work expands to fill the time available for its completion.
When you establish fixed hours to your work, you find unproductive ways to fill it.
Work like a lion instead—sprint, rest, repeat.
1980s: learning Japanese because Japanese companies will take over the world.
2000s: learning Japanese to watch anime.
2020s: learning Japanese to read financial statements from profitable microcaps trading at less than cash on hand.
These things move in cycles.
How many times do we have to dump in bull market for you to see this as an opportunity?
For those who need their hand held, watch this video by @KrownCryptoCave showing you all to spot major lows.

We are 100% in a simulation. You guys know this huge drop bitcoin has had recently? Same thing in happened in its previous cycles right before the parabolic stage to end the year and then crash into a bear market! Wild...

@flcnhvy Accept worst case outcome & assign it a probability, which is usually very low. Now think of good things in life & assign them probabilities – many are certain!
Bringing anxiety/fear to the conscious mind saps it of limbic emotional strength.
Cheery fatalism is very effective.
