Journalists
vs.
Reporters

[Patrick Bet-David @patrickbetdavid]

Four foundational principles of journalism:

1. seek truth and report it
2. minimize harm
3. act independently
4. be accountable and transparent.

Which journalists are currently doing that?

@DimitryNakhla Re:📊 Scores Revenues $475M, +60% YoY - would like to see the breakdown of the drivers of this number: how much was driven by price hike vs. the volume increase/decrease.

[Kevin Dahlstrom @Camp4]

This is it.

There are 3 levels to success—but they don’t work the way you think.

🪜 Level 1 is climbing the ladder and chasing success as society defines it ($).

The ladder has infinite steps, and most people stay on it forever.

A few start to question why they’re climbing…

🪜 Level 2 is stepping off the ladder, redefining success on your terms, and taking bold steps to live in alignment.

You still play the game but you are not the game.

It’s a good life, but eventually it dawns on you:

You’re still chasing… just different things.

🪜 Level 3 is climbing back down the ladder.

It’s not a goal, it’s a state of being. There’s no score.

It’s knowing the secret that Jason Mamoa describes:

—Less is more
—Only a few things really matter (and they can’t be bought)

This is true whether you’re a billionaire or broke.

Level 3 is rarefied air—not because it requires credentials, but because it requires that you break your programming and want less.

It’s not sacrifice, it’s liberating in a way that financial wealth can never be.

There’s no conflict here—Jason Mamoa still makes movies (and millions of dollars). He can visit that world and walk the red carpet while inhabiting another world.

A question for you:

Are you leveling up… or climbing the infinite ladder?

I stepped off the ladder to Level 2 about 8 years ago (better late than never). Now, at 55, I’m eyeing Level 3.

I couldn’t be more excited.

@MDXcrypto At least post current-dated pictures - this is not what Cayan looks like today, literally no view anymore if your unit is facing Ciel.

@DimitryNakhla What are they estimated to generate in 28 and 29?

[Andrei Verdes @theandreiverdes]

My coworker got promoted over me.

He was worse at coding. Better at politics.

I wrote better code. Fixed more bugs. Shipped faster.

He talked in meetings. Took credit. Played the game.

He got the promotion. I got "keep up the good work".

That's when I realized: corporate rewards politics, not performance.

Six months later I quit. Started freelancing.

Now I make 3x his salary. No politics. No credit-stealing. Just solving problems and getting paid directly.

The best developers rarely get promoted. They get used.

Companies optimize for compliance and communication. Not competence.

If you're technically great but politically terrible, you'll never win at corporations.

Leave. Build your own thing. Get paid for your actual value.

@joecarlsonshow It’s not “your own land” if you still have to pay tax to keep it..

@DimitryNakhla When $FICO raised its prices by 40% ($3.5 to $5) a year ago, all hell broke loose.. Let’s see what happens here, but I won’t hold my breath.

@MGStockTalk Now read ASML’s architects. Takeaways will remain the same but it’s an awesome read.

@DimitryNakhla ..and it's -7% in Amsterdam this morning.

Whenever I think I am too late to #Bitcoin, I look at this chart, and then I buy more.

@DimitryNakhla My favourite company of all time. Check out their linkedin - they post intersting breakdowns of what they work on all the time.

Everybody can't go.

This is the hardest lesson. You'll spend years trying to bring people with you. Family. Friends. Teammates. People you love and you respect. You want to set them free.

You'll share what you've learned. Show them what you've built. Explain how you escaped. But not everyone will follow.
Some are too comfortable in their chains. They can't see the cage they're in. They would rather complain about the system than leave it.

Some don't want the responsibility that comes with freedom.

They will choose familiar suffering over unfamiliar possibility. The path to freedom is always narrow. The crowd is always going the other direction.

The job isn't to drag people to freedom. Your job is to be free yourself. Show them what's possible. To leave the door open.

But not everybody will walk through it.

And everybody can't go.

After spending 10 years thinking about Money & Bitcoin, here's the simplest explanation I can come up with:

Money is a technology to move Value across Space, Time, and Scale.

Value is the utility humans derive from Goods & Services.

Value is highly subjective, and it changes across Time and Space.

Unbeknownst to them, Economists have defined these functions as:

- Store of Value (Time)

- Medium of Exchange (Space)

- Unit of Account (Scale)

Throughout History, no monetary system has managed to satisfy all 3 functions of Money at once. This is where the idea of Backing Money and the necessity of separating Money and Currency come from.

This trade-off can be described as a Money Trilemma: you can optimize for 2, but not all 3.

Gold is great at Time & Scale, but not Space.

Fiat is great at Space & Scale, but not Time.

Until the invention of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the first form of Money that successfully excels at all 3 functions simultaneously.

It achieves that by perfecting all the properties of Money, with no extra space for improvement:

Bitcoin is:

- Infinitely Divisible
- Instantly Portable
- Forever Durable
- Mathematically Finite (what is mistakenly called Scarcity)
- Perfectly Fungible

Bitcoin is the final Evolution of Money.

The World just hasn’t figured it out yet.

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

Most "Bitcoin maxis" are misunderstood.

Anyone who isn't born into wealth needs to solve "the money problem."

And the sooner you solve it, the sooner you can get on with living.

Instead of spending time reading 10-Ks, levering up to the gills on physical buildings, and diworseifying their portfolios...

Bitcoiners recognized the obvious logic of storing their value in the only finite neutral asset in the world.

And they had the courage to trust their rationale even in the face of inhuman volatility.

Most of us aren't in it for the tech.

We're in it for the freedom.

The freedom to spend more time with our friends and family.

The freedom to wake up in a village by the sea, have some good espresso, and dig into work that genuinely interests us.

Coastal runs at mid-day and evenings down in the port.

Label that whatever you want...

But I'll always consider myself a life maxi first and foremost.
