1/ One of my big learnings over the last ~10 years is that the reality of business has a surprising amount of detail.
2/ One of the implications of this is that a novice reads some case custody or starts with some blank spreadsheet of what the “optimal” strategy is and usually the one that looks optimal is one about which you are most ignorant
3/ It looks optimal precisely because you are ignorant about it. Whereas the thing that will actually work looks covered in worts because you understand all the flaws and limitations.

Though it's aimed at investors, I've found the Kelly Criterion a generally helpful model for thinking about big life decisions.
Some life Lessons from Kelly Criterion might be:

1. Optimizing long-term returns requires dealing with high levels of volatility in the short term
2. Place few, larger bets when you have high confidence and no bets when you have low confidence - don't get stuck in the middle
3. Never bet all the chips
4. If you're on a bad streak, don't double down to try and make it back, dial it down instead.

1/ How to Size Your Investments (AKA A brief summary of what I have learned about the Kelly Criterion)
2/ I initially discovered the Kelly Criterion in @nntaleb's book, The Black Swan
3/ As Taleb pointed out, it is not enough to be correct as an investor, you must be correct in the right amounts, yet many investors don't think about it that way.

#Bitcoin is bigger than all the companies that try to capitalise on its #blockchain #technology.

#Bitcoin + #IoT + #DeepLearning will transform the global political & financial system without permission.

#blockchain #LightningNetwork #fintech #blockchain #disruptiveinnovation
#Decentralisation will take time.

#Bitcoin is decentralised although still attached to a centralised world.

⚠️ This is the alpha.
⚠️ #LightningNetwork is the beta.
If you want to change society you need to change the social paradigm, or offer an incentive greater than money to discourage greed. #bitcoin #LightningNetwork ⚡️

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"

There is a platform that proposes a solution to take blockchain to the next level. It envision itself as Blockchain 3.0. Does it have what it takes to disrupt blockchain tech?

Stop the guess, read the thread, as we introduce no other platform than Arcblock by @ArcBlock_io

👇👇
This thread is divided into two sections.
Section A talks about the existing problems of blockchain tech and @ArcBlock_io proposed solution to the problems.

Section B talks about Arcblock’s architecture in details.
As you read, remain blessed.

SECTION A:
Have you asked yourself why #blockchain #tech hasn’t gained mainstream adoption even with the positive updates and development? The reason is because of:
a) - poor performance
b) - cost
c) - lack of features
