So this is bizarre.

My Twitter profile conversion rate (profile visit--> follow) shot up from 10% to 85% overnight, after I changed a few words in my bio.

What happened? 👇
I was on a ship-30-for-30 workshop call last weekend w/ @dickiebush and @Nicolascole77 (it's a writing challenge where you write an essay a day for 30 days.)
So we were talking about Twitter bios.

@Nicolascole77 took a look at mine and went, "Woah, freedom, wealth, consciousness? Way to stuff all the big vague words in one sentence! Try to be more specific."

For your reference here's my old profile:
Ok, makes sense.

Then I went into a group workshop with my shipmates @memetzgz, @HassanHKarimi, @stephvalibus & @clairetaitte.

They were like, "What do you mean by 'destination is the byproduct of a journey well taken'? Feels disconnected with the rest."
Alright, you all have a point.

So I changed those. 12 words in total. I didn't give it much thought. Figured it's only a few words. Not anything earth changing.
I went to bed, woke up this morning, only to find my conversion rate went up 750%.

So what can you learn from this?
How to have a great Twitter bio--

1. Describe what topics you tweet about & be specific.
2. Make it clear what values others get from your tweets.
3. Personal touch is good, but make sure it connects w/ the rest of your bio.
4. Have people read it and give you feedback.
BTW, @dickiebush and @Nicolascole77 run a kickass writing challenge. If you want to build a writing habit, you should check it out.

I’m having too much fun comparing Olympics media coverage in China and the US 🍿

In case you weren’t aware, Olympic sports is a state-owned industry in China. The nation threw big money into training top athletes.

Why? It’s a fantastic governance tool 👇
When you’re a centralized authority, you want your people to be die-hard nationalists. You want to create the mindset of “we’re in this together”, to “make China great again”. When people have common identity, they don’t fight among themselves and that makes your job easier.
Sports are powerful emotional events that bond people together. You’re smart. So you leverage that.

It’s never about the sports. It’s always about national spirit and common goal.

So you invest heavily in sports. Every four years, your investment gets a big pay day.

I'm taking the occasion to start clearing out all my crypto positions except #ETH and Solana.
Don't get me wrong. I don't have any problem with any other coins. Some of them will probably do very well and I'll miss out. But I simply don't have enough conviction about any of them right now and see bigger volatilities coming.
Since I don't have strong conviction about them, I'd likely be shaken out of those positions when going gets tough. That's a self knowledge I've learned overtime and try to apply.

So, suppose you got kidnapped. Someone put a gun to your head and say “Go get 1000 Twitter followers this month or go see Abraham Lincoln!”

What do you do?

Here’s what I did. I do not recommend it. But in case you get kidnapped, you’ll want to reference this post. Image
First, I did not encounter no terrorists.

Instead, I met the notorious @dickiebush and @Nicolascole77, who tricked me into joining their 30 day writing challenge gang. So they’re to blame for everything happened next.
The idea of the challenge is you write a 250-word essay a day for 30 days in a row, as a way to build a writing habit.

“Surely I can do that for a month,” I thought. 250 words is not much, right?

How I lost $140,000 on Amazon stocks

Amazon stock went up 100x in the past 15 years. Any idiot could have made money on it. Yet I managed to accomplish the exact opposite 😆

Here’s how it went down.
It was the fall of 2005. I was in school, penniless, but managed to save $2000. I just read the first investment book in my life, Peter Lynch’s One Up on Wall Street. He said you should invest in companies you know and like. Makes sense, right?
Amazon was the company I used the most. Prime was just launched and I loved it. Subscription was a new thing then.

So everyone seems to think Axie Infinity is the "next big thing” in crypto. After all, it’s making more money than ethereum and bitcoin right now.

But I think it’s going to fail.

Here’s why.
Yes, it’s growing like crazy right now.
The game has 300k daily active players, 30x growth from beginning of the year. Revenue is higher than all projects combined in DeFi. Image
The value prop for users is you can make money playing the game.

It’s arguably the first success story of the “play to earn” model. You play the Axie game, which is like Pokémon. You earn the in-game token, called SLP. You exchange SLP for ETH or “real” money.

Why bitcoin will never become the global reserve currency

Bitcoin maxies tout it as the ultra sound money. But in fact having #bitcoin as the global reserve currency would be one of the worst ideas of the 21st century.

It’s not gonna happen. Here’s why👇
1. “Ultra sound money” makes it ultra difficult for anyone to get out of recessions

People are having a knee-jerk reaction to monetary policy excess right now.

Fed prints too much. Asset prices all inflate. Your money is worth less. It helps the rich and hurts the poor.
All true.

But having the pendulum swing the other extreme is not the solution. In fact, extremely short sighted.

The world got off the gold-standard bandwagon for a reason— it was super clunky and made recessions/crises worse than they should be.
