I know a lot about bitcoin and investing and economics, but at one time I knew nothing about any of these things.
20 years ago I knew nothing about investing.
11 years ago I knew nothing about bitcoin.
7 years ago I knew nothing about economics.
So what changed?
Well I was curious and then I followed that curiosity where it took me.
I became obsessed with the things I was obsessed with.
Some people look at how expensive a house is and think they’ll never afford one, other people think “I wonder how I can make it cheaper?” And then they learn to build a house.
Time is going to pass.
Your time is going to pass.
It’s been 10 years since I’ve been in bitcoin.
That time passed and I know plenty of people who have nothing to show for it.
In fact that’s the norm.
I’m the exception.
You know why?
Because they weren’t curious about anything and I am.
I care.
I care about my life, I want things. I believe if others have it so can I.
Somebody out there has the life you want.
You can have it too, but you have to give a shit about yourself.
You have to talk differently to yourself.
You have to focus your energy.
You have to break free and very often you will have to go it alone.
But the time is going to pass regardless and do you really want to have nothing to show for it?
Don’t do it because you need to prove something to other people.
Do it because you’re not living up to your potential otherwise.
Do you want all of the best things about you to remain hidden and buried and to one day rest alongside you in the graveyard?
Or do you want to be who you were meant to be?
It’s your call.
I made my decision some time ago.
