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.

My beloved children, There are moments that define the course of history. Not because they shock us, but because they reveal the battlefield. The creation of Bitcoin was one such moment. It showed the world that an individual could challenge the entire financial order. But more than that, it showed what one man could do…
There is a largely overlooked risk in the cryptocurrency space that stems from the way most non-Bitcoin assets are structured. Unlike Bitcoin, where control is determined by external resource expenditure through mining, many altcoins concentrate control in the token supply itself. This creates a long-term centralization vector that is rarely acknowledged. In Bitcoin, owning coins…
As time relentlessly marches on, the future’s divergence from the past becomes inevitable. Previous generations could shape their lives using lessons from the past, which encompassed knowledge about people, nations, currencies, relationships, and a spectrum of emotions. The astute saved time by identifying what to relearn and then explored new territories. However, the less insightful…
You are a lucky man, you get to piss away your daddy’s torture, on parties, and hookers, who quite honestly, serve a greater utility to society than you. They identify each other through plumage. We can’t define consciousness because consciousness does not exist. Humans fancy that there’s something special about the way we perceive the…
IQ is a particularly ugly aspect of science because the IQ literature reveals that which no one would wish to be the case. Which is that there are profound and virtually irremediable differences between people’s cognitive performances and that these differences have a very solid biological and heritable basis. No one wants to hear that…
Rationality suffocates in the air of superstition in the colonies This entire culture is based on hypocrisy, on fakery, on mocking up the appearance for that which cannot be obtained this was the thing about America that he loved the most: the utter faith that family did not matter, that the past was but a…
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…
If you were to spend less time theorizing on what SHOULD happen and take some time to look at the real world to get a better accurate understanding of what IS happening. Then you will come up with much cooler ideas, that will benefit the community more. You’re assuming that the market can tell the…
