🦾 Food for the mind
Friend,
Great quotes from: The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and Happiness (p. 101). Magrathea Publishing. Kindle Edition.
“Our egos are constructed in our formative years—our first two decades. They get constructed by our environment, our parents, society. Then, we spend the rest of our life trying to make our ego happy. We interpret anything new through our ego: “How do I change the external world to make it more how I would like it to be?” [8]
“You absolutely need habits to function. You cannot solve every problem in life as if it is the first time it’s thrown at you. We accumulate all these habits. We put them in the bundle of identity, ego, ourselves, and then we get attached to them. “I’m Naval. This is the way I am.”
“It’s really important to be able to uncondition yourself, to be able to take your habits apart and say, “Okay, this is a habit I probably picked up when I was a toddler trying to get my parent’s attention. Now I’ve reinforced it and reinforced it, and I call it a part of my identity. Does it still serve me? Does it make me happier? Does it make me healthier? Does it make me accomplish whatever I set out to accomplish?”
”There are two attractive lessons about suffering in the long term. It can make you accept the world the way it is. The other lesson is it can make your ego change in an extremely hard way. Maybe you’re a competitive athlete, and you get injured badly, like Bruce Lee. You have to accept being an athlete is not your entire identity, and maybe you can forge a new identity as a philosopher. [8]
“If you can be more right and more rational, you’re going to get nonlinear returns in your life.”
Bitcoin only
A friend was trying to buy some of this new "crypto" project. I told her, "Nope. Scam. If it's not Bitcoin, scam."
Then she texted me again a few days later, asking if I wanted to hear about it. Em. No. Scam.
Buy Bitcoin and stop wasting your time with this garbage. I think I convinced her.
Either way, it's strange how bad people are at listening. That's why you have to repeat yourself. Regarding "money" and "investing," people have the worst ideas.
That's because of Wall Street and now Crypto Bros profit. They profit off of the average person's ignorance. Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger (RIP) have been showing people how to get rich for years. Buy and hold forever. That's it.
Of course, they don't get Bitcoin, and that's ok... it took Warren 20+ years to finally "Get" Apple, at which point he bought a ton of it: ~40% of Berkshire Holdings is now Apple stock.
The only thing you need to understand about Bitcoin is this:
Governments will keep printing money
There will never be more than 21 million bitcoin and most of it is already mined.
For as long as fiat currencies increase (they will), the price of Bitcoin will rise.
That's it. Bet on math and fact. It's the single greatest investment thesis / opportunity of your lifetime.

Fascinating tweet from Sam Knowlton:
Before the mid-1800s, it is estimated that the grasslands of North America were home to 30-60 million bison, 10 million elk, 40 million white-tailed deer, 10 million mule deer, and a combined total of 100 million caribou and pronghorn.
Despite this vast number of herbivores, methane emissions were only about 80% of those from the current population of herbivores (which includes both livestock and wildlife), even though today's populations are significantly smaller than those of the mid-1800s.
This suggests that methane emissions do not decrease proportionally with the number of herbivores. Instead, they are the result of specific agricultural practices rather than the sheer number of animals.
