You can grind your way to the top 10% of most fields, but the top 0.1% works differently; it's reserved for people who've found their work so absorbing they've stopped noticing the grind at all.
Tesla often forgot to eat. Edisons assistants said he couldn't understand why his employees got tired. He'd hammer at a problem for 30hrs, then look up confused that everyone had gone home and assumed they were sick. Buffett, in his nineties, reads 500 pages of annual reports a day for fun.
People assume these people had super-human willpower, but they actually had a completely different relationship with effort; the effort in itself was the reward.

Bears are out in full force to take advantage of that 2000 crash trendline

This asymmetric only opportunity exists because the majority of people in crypto and aware of zec have lost most of their funds on 10/10 and after
What’s stopping you?
SITUATION DETECTED: Antares Nuclear’s Mark-0 reactor has achieved initial criticality at Idaho National Laboratory, what the U.S. Department of Energy is calling one of the most significant technological achievements in nuclear energy in over 40 years.
Sell in May because we’re all going to die and everything’s going to zero and crypto isn’t quantum proof and Saylor is going to send bitcoin to the shadow realm
one of the most popular cryptocurrencies (zcash) was just exploited by Opus 4.8
the discussion around moving BTC to post quantum rails needs to happen yesterday
This is a crime. This is deliberately exposing the general public to the most overvalued company in the history of the stock market in order to prop up an IPO that jailbreaks the entire index/pension/retirement fund system.
This is selling suicide pills at the drugstore.
