A pseudonymous artist is quickly becoming one of the highest grossing digital artists nearly overnight.

You almost won't believe this story.

Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1/ About 2 weeks ago, someone reached out to me about a digital art collection that they had created.

It came via Twitter DM.

Not sure why this one caught my eye, but I was intrigued by their question.
2/ The individual told me they were a digital artist and they wanted to find a partner for launching their new collection.

They explained they wanted to launch it under a pseudonym, but were worried that no one would discover their work.

Peter Thiel allegedly built a $90+ million tax-free Roth IRA.

The crazy part? The maximum amount you're allowed to contribute to a Roth is $6,000 per year.

Time for a thread 👇👇👇
1/ Peter Thiel is a self-made billionaire famous for co-founding PayPal, Palantir, and Founders Fund.

He was also the first outside investor in Facebook, which has led to a net worth reported to be around $5.7 billion.
2/ Thiel is 53 years old, assuming he's been maxing out his Roth since he was 18, the maximum amount he could have contributed is $210,000.

So how did he earn more than 23,000% return on his retirement account?

The United States is in really bad financial shape.

The government has taken in more federal income tax every year since 2009, yet they lose more and more money each year.

Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1/ The US government has more revenue coming in the door every year.

Since 2009, federal income tax revenue has almost doubled.
2/ Although the US government has made more revenue each year, they continue to lose money year after year.

The last time the government spent less than it made was in 2001.

For 20 years, the government has lost money. Insane.

One of my areas of focus in 2020 was to scale the size of our content business across platforms.

Here is our year in review 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1/ Everything starts and ends with Twitter for me.

Jan 2020: ~ 300k followers
Dec 2020: ~ 430k followers

I do over 100 million impressions per month and will continue to use Twitter to drive traffic everywhere else over time.
2/ The daily letter that I send to investors allows me to have nuanced, more analytical conversations with people.

Jan 2020: 38,500 free subscribers
Dec 2020: 102,000 free subscribers

The open rate is around 35% and the click through rate is around 10% when I email everyone.

I've been running a sleep experiment for the last few weeks and I'm now averaging about 9 hours a night.

The hacks are simple. Anyone can do it.

Time for a thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1/ I used to pride myself on being able to function on a lack of sleep.

Whether it was travel, work, or procrastinating on the internet, I would regularly stay awake late into the night.

It was common for me to operate on 4-5 hours and then drink a gazillion coffees each day.
2/ It became obvious over the last few months that I needed to improve my sleep.

I read a few books. Listened to podcasts with sleep experts. And @polina_marinova annoyed me to death.

Here is what I learned...
