“Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Have fun. Fall in love. Regret nothing, and don't let people bring you down. Study, think, create, and grow. Teach yourself and teach others.” - Richard Feynman

We’re all under the same stars ✨

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

The true lottery winners are those who got married to someone high-energy, mentally stable, intellectually curious, and above all, overflowing every day in gratitude and optimistic energy, to be able to learn, to be able to grow, to be able to experience the ups and downs of life

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

Marry someone curious who also loves highly stimulating conversations, and the education of your kids will naturally take care of itself.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

The highest wealth for a kid: growing up with two intellectually curious parents who have the courage to take risks, and who remain enthusiastic about their own agency and their own ability to write a great life story. That's the kind of parent you should aim to be.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I’m convinced that the most underrated trait in a romantic partner is that they bring peace into your life. Days are filled with enough chaos and uncertainty. Being able to come home to someone who defaults to emotional consistency, who creates a peace, is massively underrated.

You struggle for 5 years. Then suddenly in 1 month you achieve more than your 5 years. I beg you, Trust your grind.

Major cheat code in life: ask for big unreasonable things. The universe will meet you at the level of your audacity.

[Alice Smith @TheAliceSmith]

Capitalism is when a few get rich by providing for the many.

Socialism is when a few get rich by seizing from the many.

[Old Salty Marine @BamaSaltyMarine]

Maturing in marriage is realizing that when your husband says he'll do anything for you.

He means fighting bad guys and dragons and shit.

Not folding clothes, washing dishes and house stuff.

"Crypto" is going to zero. Bitcoin is going to 1M+.

I've been working on Bitcoin since early 2013 when it was ~$50. First it was going to zero because of Silk Road. Then Mt. Gox. Then governments were going to ban it. Then it was slow technology and it was going to be crushed by all of the other coins. Then Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX were sending it to zero. Now there are new narratives. New people that are far too levered, don't understand Bitcoin, but are somehow here to fix it.

Yet, somehow, here we are. A $1T asset.

Bitcoin has been the best thing I could have poured my life into over the last 13+ years. Meanwhile, trust in governments and their ability to stop destroying the people and their purchasing power has never been worse in those same 13+ years.

At the end of the day, my advice to you: the Bitcoin journey is a hero's journey. You kill your ego. You surrender the idea that you're the all-knower of the future, the main character, and important enough to matter to this thing. Bitcoin doesn't care what you think and it doesn't need your permission. You either have the balls to build conviction in it or you don't. You built Barstool, you know this. There is no free lunch. Nobody gets paid to show up when things are easy. Life isn't charity. Participation trophies are worthless. Those that end up getting paid do so because they build something that was simply too hard for others.

Nobody has to convince you of anything. You have to convince you. If you believe in the government and their ability to not print away your purchasing power, sell us your bitcoins. If you don't and you think Bitcoin is an idea worth believing in, have some guts.

Your choice. Bitcoin has been and will continue to be successful either way. It's on a journey of its own and it will be there for you whenever you're ready.

@naval …Who are paid by the politicians

I recently heard someone say.

"The amount of good things in your life depends on your ability to notice them."

I can't see it any other way now.

it’s makers vs takers

[Arthur MacWaters @ArthurMacwaters]

1% of people account for 63% of all violent crimes.

0.2% of people ever commit murder, and **67% of all murders**are committed by people with prior arrests

You can literally just fix crime by not tolerating people who show a history of being destructive to society.

[jay plemons @jayplemons]

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.

Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.

Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.

As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”

Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.

Time to choose your side.

Rumi was right when he said the path appears only after you start walking. Clarity comes from action not from waiting.
