Life is all about answering 'why you?' questions. Whether it's a job interview, a pitch for a startup, or even a first date, you're often in a position to answer the 'why you?' question.

True wealth:
1. Mission that motivates you
2. Good quality of sleep
3. Unlimited time spent at the gym
4. Good relationships with family & friends
In general, follow good energy.

How to decide:
1. If it's not hell yes, it's no. - Derek Sivers
2. If you can't decide, the answer is no. - Naval Ravikant
3. What is one big decision that will remove 100 decisions? - Tim Ferriss
4. Why 10 years? Why not in 6 months? - Peter Thiel

2023-08-22 04:25:21

Interesting pattern: All my smart friends have joined an early-stage startup or started their own in the last year or two.
This pattern seems universal, regardless of where they are and what they’re good at.
Of course, most of my network is in the SF Bay Area, but this includes a couple of my childhood friends too.
They all have a few things in common:
1. They’re in their late 20s with no children.
2. They went to the best universities and have a STEM degree.
3. They’ve been early trend finders since the age of 12-13, like getting into Apple well before the iPhone 3.
Am I biased? Maybe. But the future seems brighter than ever. They motivate me so much. This is the beginning of infinity

Next crypto bubble scenario: Bitcoin ETF-driven premiums will cause people to get FOMO and eventually go broke.
The launch of a Bitcoin ETF will drive up the price of altcoins and BTC ETFs, even if the actual price of Bitcoin doesn't increase significantly.
Think about the huge GBTC premium in 2020-21. Now it's a -30% discount.
Don't get too excited about BTC ETFs, just buy BTC.
If government regulations force you to buy an ETF, research Saylor's MSTR - it has the potential to outperform all Bitcoin spot ETFs in the future.

Don’t learn to code.
Learn to solve problems.
That can be done by coding, or it can be done by marketing.
We can get good enough at anything in 1 year or less.
It’s like learning self-defense.
If you train for a year, you’re better than 80% of people out on the street.

2023-08-04 01:04:59

As if good food doesn't need a label,
A good person doesn't need a label.
Sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes.
Boiled eggs are boiled eggs.
No need explanation.
Taste it without salt or sugar.
You can taste it for real.
In this simplicity, the truth lies.

Bitcoin is like Justin Bieber.
I did not like him in the beginning.
Then I see him everywhere.
Then I listen to his songs every time.
Then I sing his songs in karaoke.
Bitcoin is Justin Bieber.
I'm a Justin Bieber maxi.

2023-07-26 01:59:40

Happiness is simple.
1. Sleep well
2. Eat well
3. Exercise (Move your body)
4. Work for something that gives you good energy (i.e., meaning)
5. Spend time with happy people (people who give you good energy)
In a formula:
Happiness = Body x Meaning x Relationship
In short, follow good energy. Happiness follows you.

Bitcoin Miami 2023 Lessons
1. Go to sponsored satellite events
2. Influencers are very welcoming to chat
3. Miami is beautiful
4. Many Bitcoin businesses
5. Real Bitcoiners show up during the bear market
6. Go to Bitcoin conferences closer to your city (~6 hr flight)
7. Bitcoiners tend to be world travelers who’ve lived in many different countries. There are many who can’t be defined by their nationality. E.g. Australian-American Korean.
Overall, I never thought a conference can be fun. I met and talked with so many Bitcoin enthusiasts.
Hope to come back to Miami next year as well!

Philosophical and ideological debate tend to be a zero-sum game.
Most think that they can't be a capitalist and a communist at the same time. But I argue that we can have multiple different ideologies: we can be a communist with our family and a capitalist with strangers, for example.
Anyway, the point, I want to make is that a philosophical conversation is necessary at some level, but at a certain point, it becomes so useless that it distracts us from perusing what's necessary: solving hard problems.
Problems are inevitable. And problems are soluble.
So let's build the future once we have the foundation of basic principles.

2023-03-06 04:41:02

Let's go beyond philosophical and moral value judgments such as whether Bitcoin is simply money or not, or whether it is a monetary phenomenon or a revolution.
I want to move forward with the perspective of a 'builder' who makes something on top of it.
I believe Bitcoin is the hardest digital land, and I want to think about what kind of building to build on it and what kind of service will come in.
Let's create the future.

안녕하세요 사장님! 저는 비트맥시 설문지 해보니깐 32만점에 25점이 나오네요. 상당히 저도 비트코인 맥시에 가까운걸 알게되었습니다.
화폐 혁명으로서의 비트코인이냐 화폐 현상으로의 비트코인을 물어보시는거 같습니다. 저는 비트코인의 철학을 논할만큼 깊은 인문학적 성찰이 없다는 점을 알려드리고 싶고, 대신 저는 현재 비트코인을 활용하여 사람들이 쓸 무언가를 아래 비트코인 매거진 기사에 있는 예시들처럼 만들어 보고 싶어합니다.
비트코인이 단순히 화폐냐 아니냐 또는 화폐현상이냐 혁명이냐와 같은 철학 도덕적 가치 판단을 뛰어넘어 이 위에 무엇인가를 만드는 'builder'의 관점을 가지고 나아가고자 합니다.
비트코인이 가장 단단한 디지털 땅이라 생각하고 이 위에 어떤 건물을 만들고 어떤 서비스가 들어올지에 대해 고민해보고 미래를 만들어보고 싶습니다.

But the problem is that many Bitcoiners don’t want to show their real identities. How about a bounty system? So it's like a quest that @npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63mis doing.

So it's like a job site for Bitcoiners, like the Bitcoin job board: https://bitcoinerjobs.com/
But for this project, instead of listing jobs, we list Bitcoiners.
There might be current programmers, lawyers, salespeople, marketers, engineers, etc who'd love to build stuff on the Bitcoin network.

Quick things I’m learning using Nostr:
1. Force me to write a clear and thoughtful sentence because it can’t be edited or removed
2. Maybe it’s like how we speak. We can’t edit what comes out of our mouth
3. And it’s recorded forever in a sharable format around the world
3. If we can resurrect ourselves in the future, Nostr will be a big piece of making our own version of AI on the Internet that can communicate to our future generations.
If we figure out how to put this consciousness into a robot like the Tesla Optimus, we live forever without figuring out how to live forever with using our own biological body.
May my body die but my consciousness live forever, thanks to Nostr.

2023-03-05 21:34:16

One thing I want to see on the Nostr protocol: Can it create a network effect?
It’s too early to judge, but my intuition is saying: With Bitcoin lightning payment rails, it can attract creators around the world.
It’s like Twitter or Facebook back in 2010 with a global micropayment integration.
We can consume good contents and pay those creators who build the community.

2023-03-05 21:29:34

Nullius in verba.

2023-03-05 21:23:54

Bitcoin = Bring your money and purchasing power anywhere you go in the world.
Nostr = Bring your followers and contents anywhere you on the Internet.

2023-03-05 21:13:32

Bitcoin = Financial sovereignty.
Bitcoin lightning = Payment sovereignty.
Nostr = Freedom of speech sovereignty.

2023-03-05 20:45:38

A few things I learned while studying how to code:
1. Don’t repeat yourself
2. Don’t reinvent the new wheel
3. Complexity isn’t better than simplicity
4. Copy, modify, and create something new
In short, don’t repeat yourself or others work.
