if you don't know who this is, I'll break it down quick for you
he made $40,000,000 on $TRUMP and retired forever
you may say "this was insider" or "he got lucky"
but here's the reality behind it
many people like him were grinding crypto for years, stacking money, and waiting for the best opportunities to come up
when $TRUMP launched it spawned around $400 million marketcap
if you were online that night, and you were in the memecoin space, you were looking at the most incredible opportunity that crypto has ever presented
there were hours for you to get into this coin sub $10 billion marketcap
it ran all the way to $70 BILLION marketcap at its peak
opportunities like this don't present themselves every day, but if you understand the game you're playing, and you're prepared, there is truly endless possibilities for what you can achieve
crazy how 45 min of cardio and six hours of sleep is the difference between feeling like projects are going nowhere and being deeply grateful for the opportunities before you

Nobody teaches men that life runs on game theory. Not as an abstract concept but literally how every negotiation, deal, and relationship plays out.
The first rule is whoever needs the outcome least has the power. It's why the guy who's desperate for the deal gets a worse price than the guy who can walk. It's why chasing money directly makes you worse at getting it and why people say yes to things they should say no to.
That's why leverage matters more than cash imo. Leverage is optionality. It's having enough going for you that you never have to take the first offer.
One of the greatest realizations that helps me stay present:
THINGS CHANGE.
Life often changes for the better, but things change.
One minute you're 20, complaining about going to classes.
The next, you're 22 and it's 3am and it's looking like you have to pull an all-nighter.
Then you're 25, you're lost in your career. You don't know what to do with your life and no one is coming to save you.
You're 27 and you're alone in a new city you don't know anyone in.
It's alright, you find your way. You're 30, life is great, but you've decided to take it head on: betting on yourself. No one paying you, no one saving you. It's all up to you.
You handle that (like you always do) and things are great again. But now you're balancing running a business, your health, spending time with friends and family...and you're planning a wedding. Not enough hours in a day.
If you thought time was short, now you've got a baby on the way. Drained of sleep, and yet you still find a way to manage it all.
You ask your Dad for some advice on raising kids. All he says is "enjoy it...those days go fast."
You think back to how fast time has gone. You think back to those simple days in college. Where your biggest responsibility was going to class, having fun, and meeting people.
You might find yourself wishing you would've appreciated that moment just a bit more...instead of searching for the next.
Cause things change. And it all goes fast. And you can never come back to where you are right now.
