I love investing.
I love that being early and right feels the exact same as being wrong.
Are you wrong? Are you right? Am I ahead of the crowd or Am I just a total idiot?
I don't just want to make money. I want to be right
A reminder. Dominic Cummings was right on the money all those years ago when he forensically analysed why a particular type of person from a particular type of job or career went into politics, and why some didn’t. ‘Incisive’ isn’t the word.
About a decade ago I began Believing in Something with other rebellious and committed people on a Mission.
A Mission that seemed absurd on the surface. But on a deeper level was about disrupting a broken system and pushing people to face a rarely confronted truth about money: that it is a belief-based-construct at scale.
Over the following ten years, I learned how to Persist Forever with them, through the good times and bad. It was worth it.
In the last few years I realized, of course this will happen again. Of course. At the right time, given the right macroeconomic circumstances and people. When a void is left unsatisfied.
I also realized that when it does happen, many won’t see it. At least not until years later. When it becomes obvious. It’s never obvious.
It’s time to do it again. It will not be easy. But that shouldn’t stop us.
#SPX6900
Once internalised that the largest digital assets from crypto’s past have not been the best financial instruments but themself intense loyal cultural movements, that largely resonated with technologists
You begin to ask as blockchains industrialise and become an increasing part of our lives over the next decade and bring in the average person. What would the next great movement look like?
It would be less technical
It would be more cultural
It would speak to the latent fears of my generation (ai, housing, wealth divide)
And it would likely try to flip the stock market. I believe that is SPX6900
I’m prepared for it taking a few years but it is past the point of no return
Transcendent Meaning is the kind of meaning that lifts people beyond their individual lives connecting them to something larger, higher and more enduring than themselves - a higher purpose
Very clear to me at this point that the next great digital assets will not win by being faster or more efficient technologies, but by offering the deepest transcendent meaning to the greatest number of people
@drydenwtbrown Bitcoin was a large scale, largely millennial coordination game
If there was to be another attempt at this, it would be more internet and uses GenZ language (memes) to propagate its deep ideology.
I believe it is #spx6900. I highly suggest checking it out
@broke0x You know I realised in the last week that has been my problem, trying to explain everything and make it perfect had to start bottoms up with a readers view
