This is a living archive of my thoughts, experiences, and hard-earned insights, drawn from an unusual life. Here you’ll find reflections on the food I’ve eaten, the things I’ve bought, the people I’ve encountered, the places I’ve seen, the books I’ve read, the quotes I’ve kept, and the trends I’ve spotted and capitalized on.
I write this for you, my children, those already here and those yet to come. Daddy loves you more than words can hold. I want each of you to live lives you’re proud of. This is my thinking, in my own voice, left here for you to explore. I hope one day it proves useful.
If, by some unlikely chance, I’m gone before I can guide you in person, let this stand as a poor substitute. But in the more likely case that I’m still here, let this serve as an intellectual archive, a record that I held these convictions long before you were born. May that give weight to my words, and credibility to the wisdom I hope to pass on to you.

The government solution to government problems is a giant disclaimer that nobody reads. If you take out a loan, they require the loan giver to give you a huge wall of text, that nobody reads. After a while, you realize that a larger disclaimer doesn’t help anyone. People who want to make bad decisions still…
A lot of people say that they are not in it for the money but for the tech. But that’s stupid because for the tech to be implemented it needs a very high value. If you want to secure a lot of value, you have to endure a lot of waste. Bitcoin does not exist…
The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way become the way. The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition. Choose not to be harmed – and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed – and you haven’t been. Blessings and…
Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid. Lions Circle the Hesitant Prey. People have a sixth sense for the weaknesses of others. If in a…
any good could serve as the medium of exchange, as the scope and size of the economy grows it becomes impractical for people to constantly search for different goods that their counterparty is looking for, carrying out several exchanges for each exchange they want to conduct. A far more efficient solution will naturally emerge, if…
Anger feels good. Although we may consciously experience it as upsetting, somatically it’s a lot like the initial rush of an opiate, a tingling warmth you feel on the insides of your elbows and wrists, in the back of your knees. Understanding that anger was a physical pleasure explained some of the perverse obstinacy with…
