one of the reasons why i was drawn to crypto is because it was (and still largely is) a very overlooked strategy for wealth accumulation that i had assessed to have "generational once in a lifetime" opportunities because of the extremely broken risk/reward skew
in a similar train of thought

one of the reasons why i play the markets the way i do with stables and long-only crypto (i rarely short) is because i think its the best r/r strategy for wealth accumulation, especially if you live probabilistically and are playing across time
why do i say "probabilistically"?

because "no one knows what will happen", but if you're experienced and in deep enough, you have significantly better odds of "guessing" how things pan out

you want to be able to profit in any of the most likely outcomes and ignore the rest
even if the current "true" path of the future is divergent from your current path

YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE YOUR PATH

which is why you need to constantly know where you are heading, and where the rest of the world is heading

you cant change the wind, but you can adjust your sails
the odds that your 1 strategy is the best strategy ever and requires no calibrations or considerations to external factors is laughably retarded af

and imo, it is also borderline malicious if you extol it to others without considerations of their circumstances and abilities
what do i mean by "playing across time"

like in chess, most people play in series - 1 move, evaluate, next move. basically IFTTT if this then that

but you would actually want to be setting yourself up several moves in advance - losing a piece now is actually strategically fine
simplified, the primary objective (for me) is to own a fuck ton (yes, even more) of coins (yes, not USD), and therefore you advance forward

but by advancing on fronts tactically, it doesn't matter if you lose certain battles if it simply just sets you up to win the entire war
a lot of people are playing the "make it, then fk off and retire" game, and there's nothing wrong with that dream

personally, i just want to own as many coins as i can - for fun

i have always viewed crypto as a 24/7 365 money MMORPG - it's immensely fun if you don't suck at it

if youre truly rich, you can do whatever you want, even if its expensive

for many people, saving a couple hundred thousand every year for a couple years in their early adulthood is worth a lot (time value of money) and buys them plenty of time with family / friends in the future
someone asked me about relocating for tax minimization and the above was my answer

with each higher tier of tax savings, there is also an associated "costs"

some are "low-cost" to do, like just investing from a retirement account instead of a tax-liable cash brokerage account
others are the whole 9 yards, offshoring et al

mind you, plenty of people relocate overseas for some very normal regular job without boosted salaries or massive tax savings

ultimately comes down to finding a balance you can accept between new experiences + money vs intangibles

altered the based infographic to remove the $10k tier

you'd notice 2 main things:

#1 - primary residence + real estate as a % of wealth decreases over time

#2 - financial assets (in blue) increase over time

bonus notes: rich people do not depend on retirement schemes

let's talk house

primary residence peaks at ~45% for people with 100k networth and continually dives down as people get richer, why?

the ceiling for primary residences essentially caps out worldwide at ~$50M

yeah, there's some crazy exepensive houses, but those are outliers
my personal opinion is that one's budget to real estate (primary residence + holiday homes) should never exceed 30% of one's networth

and it should be viewed as normal that the % drops as one's NW increases as the 30% is a category cap, not a target

homes do not generate wealth

my answer: if not for own use and just a pure return play, it is not apparent to me RE has better returns

even if negating RE downside of leverage, illiquidity, etc

the increase in mental overhead is also a QoL drain

yes, you can outsource it

but who will manage the managers
i think its fairly easy to backtest this

find a property 5-10 years ago in your city of choice and simulate buying it and renting it out, dont forget financing cost and taxes

compare that to SPY, and remember, you do nothing for your SPY returns, returns just drops from the sky
regarding EMs

i think there's a systemic reason why they will perpetually underperform

the only positive outcome i can imagine is the domestic population getting richer and expressing home country bias and bidding up their own ponzis, more so than americans can do for theirs

watched a youtube video yesterday in which a guy rated investors based on

1. returns, of course
and 2. scalability of strategy

as i make more money, i start to realize the 2nd part is pretty important
ive simplified things on the tardfi side of things that i only employ 2 simple strategies, each with infinite scalability:
- S&P500 ETFs (for risk on)
- t-bills (for risk off)
on the crypto side, the closet equivalents in terms of scalability are BTC and ETH for risk on

for risk off, its not apparent to me that the risk premia of stables is worth the multi layered 3rd party risks and i think its not a loss to collapse it backwards to tardfi as t-bills

i hate the concept of passive investing, especially passive income

nothing about investing is passive

even choosing which passive index to follow and how much to allocate, is still an active choice

"passive" just simplifies and compresses the operational processes at the tip
however, this does not mean that indexing is bad; i think it's superior

for normal people with access to normal products and cant suck the dick of some star fund manager for allocation: index

the active outperformance (if there even is any) is almost never justified by the fees
you dont actually NEED to be invested in an exclusive accredited investor only hedge fund so that you can have non-beta no drawdowns uponly portfolio returns

you could just simply accept that volatility is normal and be okay with it

no physical metals

- as someone holding physical metals

a small regret in life: i should've bought more digital gold instead of analogue bitcoin

GLD works fine, but one could also buy unallocated PM with reputable banks with built in ongoing custody fee and optional delivery
imo (could be wrong) the self custody aspect of PMs is hugely overrated

the odds that the world collapses and reverts to a barter system based on precious metals is insanely retarded and thats just doomer prepper hardcore fantasy porn

it is decent for money laundering i suppose
how unallocated precious metals work is that you just buy fractional amounts eg. 10g or 1/4 an oz

like securities, you get brokerage + custody (not complicated)

after accumulating above certain values, you *could* convert it to have claim to actual pieces, and pay for delivery
