$100K invested in Jan 1980 would have reached the following values by Oct 2025:
• Savings account: $700K
• Gold: $770K
• 10Y T-Bonds: $1.3M
• Tokyo real estate: $150K
• Madrid real estate: $560K
• NY real estate: $1.1M
• Paris real estate: $1.2M
• Sydney real estate: $1.75M
• London real estate: $2M
• S&P 500: $10.6M
• IBM: $8.8M (including dividends)
• Apple: $214M (including dividends)
Takeaways:
➤ Cash underperforms dramatically, so limit it to liquidity needs.
➤ Volatile assets such as gold can perform poorly if one FOMOs into a top (gold had a major top in 1980).
➤ Real estate returns trail stocks' sharply unless leveraged with a mortgage to boost returns, yet even with leverage, they lag behind the S&P 500.

This proposal aims to fundamentally change how smart contract developers and public goods projects can monetise their work on Ethereum.

The more people purchase, the higher the price will be. Beer that no one buys will decrease in price. Similar to a stock exchange.

To deliver on Ethereum's ambitious L1 roadmap, we should decouple planning and execution. To that end, I'm proposing we reorient ACD to focus on scoping future forks, and elevate our existing testing calls as the main venue for the current ones.

What if Studio Ghibli directed Lord of the Rings?
I spent $250 in Kling credits and 9 hours re-editing the Fellowship trailer to bring that vision to life—and I’ll show you exactly how I did it 👇🏼
Started with $1k last March, ran it up to about $500k by July on memecoins. Quit my job. Tried my hand at perp trading SOL and BTC; went to literal zero in about two weeks. Proceeded to take out loans and use family members’ credit cards to live off of and chase trade, now I’m still at zero and in over $15k in debt. Destroyed all of my relationships in the process.
