Alright my dear anon... So you want to lock-in and stay glued to the charts for the next 12 months and retire your bloodline for eternity???

Here's how to stay healthy while doing so!

1/x
One: Get some simple lifting equipment

Most people vastly overestimate the need to go to a gym...

Indeed, you can very realistically get a top 1% fizeek entirely at home.

If dudes in prison can get jacked in a cell you can get jacked never leaving your apartment :)

But he did not allow himself to marinate in depression, or numb his pain with pleasure/vice/etc...

He rather fled towards the hard frontier out West, in what was then Dakota Territory... ceaselessly repeating his mantra "Get action... Get action..."

19/x And we can extend this concept to the realm of art as well...

It is said that the greatest inspiration behind The Lord Of The Rings was Tolkien's lifelong grief over the loss of both his parents as a child, and two of his closest friends in WWI (which he also fought in)...

Thread: Thoughts On Life And The Transmutation Of Pain

🧵

So this is a long, meandering schizo thread...

But it starts with a story involving a family I once knew...

1/x





This family- who I'll call the N's- lived in a small, extremely derelict trailer park way out in the woods (example type images below)...

This was hardcore, radical, American-gothic style poverty... beyond that which most people in the US will ever see...

Thread: 10 Utterly Brilliant Crypto/Macro Crossover Thinkers You Should Be Following In 2024

🧵

One good thing about all the cross-market carnage the last two years is that it very much cemented the fact that crypto is macro and macro is crypto...

1/x

The recent ETF approvals and coming Circle IPO further illustrate this...

And as time passes and crypto slowly eats the tradfi financial rails (see the esteemed Larry Fink below for more on this :) ), they will converge more and more...

🧵

When I was growing up, one of my best friends was a Mormon kid named JS... (cont)...

1/x

JS was the youngest of 6 siblings, and because his family lived near the local elementary + high school, I often hung out at his house in the evenings after football/baseball/etc practice, and would, as a result- very occasionally- see his father, RS.

Thread: 10 Reasons Why Crypto Will 10x In The Coming Years

🧵

All of last year we heard proclamations regarding crypto's demise, yet it has remained resilient...

In that vein... here's ten reasons why it will not only survive but thrive, and 10x in the coming years :)

1/x One: Stablecoins

Stablecoins have clearly demonstrated themselves as the 'sticky use case' of crypto at this point.

There is a massive worldwide demand for dollars especially... and stables are increasingly serving that need...

🧵

Alright my friends, I have been geeking out watching ETHcc speeches on YT the last couple weeks and wanted to do a quick thread of some of my favorites :)

Here they are...

1/x One: @VitalikButerin on the history of account abstraction.

This was the headline speech of the conference obviously, and was very technical and very interesting, with some general alfa at the end:

Thread: My Friend JF, Who Would Have Been An OG Bitcoin Whale

🧵

Back in the day, in my first year of college, I became good friends with a dude named JF...

We were both from the opposite (more rural) side of the state, and bonded over that, and other shared interests...

1/x I was a bit of a boisterous redneck jock type at the time, but JF was the opposite... exceptionally polite, softspoken, and introspective.

Indeed, he was one of the kindest, most decent guys I have ever met.

Thread: Some Thoughts On Privacy, Defi, And Adoption

🧵

Encrypting important information has been a concern of us humans since the dawn of written history...

1/x The Spartan's scytale devices, Da Vinci's cryptex, James Jay's invisble ink in the Revolutionary War...

All of these are historical antecedents of what we see in crypto today, so far most notably via innovations such as Monero, Tornado Cash, etc.

Thread: 10 Ridiculously Smart People On Crypto-Twitter Who You Should Be Following

🧵

One of the main reasons I am in brypto is that I un-ironically believe it has attracted the greatest minds of our generation...

1/x Indeed, I am continually blown away by the intellectual capital one encounters here.

Its probably easy to miss the significance of this if you are just starting out, but from my vantage point the sheer amount of knowledge/intelligence/creativity/etc is mind blowing...

Thread: 10 Thoughts On Macro + Crypto

🧵

Are we headed for economic collapse?

Or will the 'Powell pause' usher in a renaissance in meme stocks and monkey jpegs?!?

1/x The Fed finally paused yesterday after nearly a year and a half of interest rate hikes...

And we currently find ourselves in a truly fascinating situation macro-wise (to say the least).

Here's some random thoughts on all the craziness...

One of my favorite parts of The Lord Of The Rings is where Gandalf goes to Minas Tirith to search the depths of its archives for information on the Ring Of Power...

1/x He ultimately finds a lost account of the one ring, written in Isildur's own hand, long forgotten by the latter day men of Gondor...

For, despite having this vast trove of ancient books and manuscripts, no one in the city has delved through them for hundreds of years...

Thread: Isolation, Wifi Money, And The Prison Of Modern Society

🧵

One of my all-time favorite stories is The Count Of Monte Cristo...

I've read and/or watched different versions of it ever since I was a kid, and its always resonated with me intensely.

1/x The story of the wrongfully-imprisoned young Frenchman Edmond Dantes and his transformation in his cold, dark jail cell- through what we today would call radical self-improvement- always seemed significant to me, and I found myself drawn to it over and over again.

Thread/Announcement: Crypto, Privacy, And Why I've Become An Ambassador For @silentdao_

🧵

So, if you've followed me for awhile you know a lot of my investment thesis for brypto revolves around 'fatalistic bullishness'. Basically...

1/x ...the idea that crypto will inevitably do well because of a) the massive debt + budget deficits + Boomer entitlements that will require huge amounts of money printing, and b) people's inherent predilection for gambling, especially in tough times.
