Investing @ Slow Ventures. Write a blog called "Young Money." A lot of people read it, you should too: www.youngmoney.co/welcome
The value of video, on the other hand, is probably overestimated. It’s less searchable/indexable, the half life is too short.

Great entertainment value for viewers, tough to capture that value as the creator unless your “thing” is to be a video creator.

I realize it's en vogue to parade around when your asset goes up. Just annoying seeing the "I told you back in 2014" posts when the stuff that people said in 2014 was totally off base lol.

You can get rich being right for the wrong reasons, but don't act like a psychic.

Increased accessibility was great for the price, and I think “digital gold” is the best description at this point, but it’s wild to see how the goal post has moved over time.

It’s categorically useless as a currency, and it’s entirely centralized at this point. You buy it on Coinbase or Robinhood, Blackrock has an ETF, etc.

Curious to see conversion numbers. Anecdotally I've noticed click engagement is a lot higher here too, just started posting though.

Of course, there's no place for nuance on the internet, so everyone either thinks a politically-charged judge hosed Musk or the rich billionaire got what he deserved.

4) $345 million in legal fees for representing a plaintiff who had like 9 shares is insane, and using % of total monetary in question during a lawsuit as the measuring stick for determining attorney fees doesn't work when you're dealing with numbers this big.
