After multiple attempts of revival, I realised that this profile needs to move on.
And it has nothing to do with the reach or time commitments.
One single reason- crypto has become boring.
What to expect now? ๐
@satyaki44@adiiHQ@ostium I believe Copper has a lot more run up. The supplies are a constraint from Indonesian mines (2nd largest of the world) and demand keeps on rising due to electricity demands of data centers.
@satyaki44 Metals super cycle is on. People still feel more comfortable about betting on Au, Ag, Cu instead of BTC. And all of this is because of legacy these metals carry.
BTC is young. Just 15 yo phenomena. I don't think it'll enjoy the status of gold at least until a decade.
You are reading this post because destiny brought you here. ๐
Every time I bring up the role of destiny (yes, you call it tailwinds) in someone's success, it is often perceived as an utter downplay of their painstaking efforts. ๐ฒ
It is only when someone fails terribly, we can attribute it to the destiny. ๐ค
So I thought, can I try putting a % to it so that no one gets offended?
But that % -- is it a static number or depends on case-to-case basis?
Let's take the case of Jensen Huang.
The man albeit bright, made a weird choice of college post graduation.
What would be called as a 'career killer' move by many, he opted to go to Oregon State University (OSU) despite the option of picking any Ivy League college.
And why did he do this blunder? Well, because Oregon was closer to home. Just 90 minute drive. ๐
Now the destiny kicks in when he realises that in 1980, Oregon didn't offer a dedicated course in computer science.
So he had to major in Electrical Engineering.
This is where he learnt the magic of breadboards, logics, ICs.
And we all are a living witness of what he did with that knowledge.
Now, did he chose OSU over others because he was smart? Or because of destiny?
I see the disagreement because people think of success as 1:1 play. You put in effort, you win. Destiny favours you, you win.
What if it is a blend of not one but many factors? Well, that's for another day!
Until then, what % of Nvidia's success would you attribute to destiny?
Back in the day where USSR was a thing, it made sense to signal power.
Each country would do a version of this to ensure others don't mess with them.
Over a period, this scheme failed.
People now consider this display of power as unnecessary and often mock it.
You see how people with big trucks often exude 'small dick energy'?
That's exactly how this colonial hangover feels.
I understand some trade deals are struck during these events, it is a great opportunity to host foreign delegates for strategic discussions.
But all of it at what cost?
I'm sure we can do better. How many of you agree?
