Fuck being shy.
Fuck being an introvert.
Strangers will make you rich.
Start networking.
You're a man.
Silence is impolite.
Make small talk everywhere you go.
You never know what kind of connections you'll create. Closed mouths don't get fed
My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money.
3 things nobody told you:
1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value.
No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works.
Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created. Create value, receive value. If money is the goal, value has to be the focus.
This isn't just some vague idea: The only way to get rich is to create an enormous amount of value for others, and capture a small portion of that along the way.
It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming about the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing. The only way to create value is by doing the thing.
And if you don't know where to start, look around you. Customers, colleagues, bosses, shareholders, employees. Every single one of them has a problem. What problems can you solve for the people around you? Figure them out, solve them, scale that solution.
That's how you make money.
2. You have to demonstrate excellence in everything you do.
Your income scales proportional to the amount of excellence that you're able to demonstrate.
Strategic incompetence is a lie. You don't get to pick and choose when to show up, because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. Everything matters. Every single thing.
Top performers show up with energy and enthusiasm for the little things just as much as they do for the big things.
If you're in the top-10% of performers, there's no ceiling for what you can do. But the self-awareness to identify where you currently stack up, and adapt to the honest feedback on it, is very rare.
If you're in the top-10%, you know it. If you're not, figure out why and fix it.
3. You don't need passion, you need energy.
I still have no idea what it means to follow your passion.
You don't have to be passionate about your professional pursuits, you just need to find energy in them. You just need to feel a pull towards them. You just need to feel that spark of curiosity in them.
Passion is usually a byproduct of energy.
When you have energy for something, you'll give it your deep attention to learn more. You’ll ask the right questions. You’ll figure it out. You’ll win.
***
And remember: Nobody is coming to save you. It’s just you. There’s a power in that.
Go do the thing.
The $AKT math is genuinely interesting.
Current price: ~$0.71
All-time high: $8.08 (April 2021)
That's -94% from ATH
But here's what's different from 2021:
2021 AKT: pure hype, no AI narrative,
no real customers, no revenue.
2026 AKT: real GPU revenue, real AI labs
using the network, the BIGGEST narrative
in tech driving demand.
Same chain. Different era. Same price level.
ATH recovery math:
$0.45 → $8.08 = +1,696% just to retrace
If AI compute demand keeps growing
(and the data says it's ACCELERATING)
the next cycle might not stop at $8.
Quick competitor reality check:
→ Nvidia (NVDA): $3+ trillion market cap
→ Anthropic: $965B private valuation
→ OpenAI: $852B private valuation
→ Akash (AKT): $112M market cap
A $112M company solving the same problem
those trillion-dollar companies are racing
to solve — but on-chain, permissionless.
The asymmetry is rare.
NFA — but pay attention.

Two members of Congress bought $MU early and now they are both in a new AI stock
Rep. Cisneros (D) bought $LITE on April 14th
Rep. Gottheimer (D) bought $LITE on May 22nd
• Cisneros sits on the Armed Services Intelligence Subcommittee. And Lumentum sells lasers directly to the U.S. military
• Gottheimer sits on House Intelligence and co-sponsored legislation targeting AI chip export controls. Lumentum's chips are subject to those exact controls
The harsh truth rich people don't want to tell you...
The odds are stacked against you, and life isn't fair.
You'll never have their capital - you weren't born into it.
You'll never have their body - your genetics aren't as good.
You'll never have their ideas - they're naturally more gifted than you.
This is all true.
But having this mindset serves you ZERO good.
It's not a reason to give up. It's actually a reason to try harder.
Because you can only compare yourself to people dealt the same hand.
Some players were dealt aces. You weren't.
But folding before you've played yours guarantees you lose.

Zcash has been a top-performing altcoin recently with +225% gains, but has now crashed -25% over the past day as it was revealed that a vulnerability could have allowed unlimited $ZEC minting, and the privacy features mean nobody can verify if it was exploited or not.
