crypto (specifically on chain) is becoming online poker in the early 2000s
for the youngin's that dont know
what basically happened was online poker got HUGE in the ealy 2000s
there was a small window early on when it was getting big
where if you were semi-decent to very good at poker you cleaned up and could make very consistent, huge money
and because of that it got heavily sensationalized with people flexing their money which go more eyes on it
& i even remember documentaries following around young kids who would rent lavish home in vegas for the summer to all play online poker, flex their wins, & live lavish lifestyle buying expensive clothes, dinners, clubbing, etc.
(sound familiar)
then very quickly the game changed
> regulations hit which made it harder to play
> people created & sold programs to optimize when playing & most people began buying and using them
> people in-turn got way better/more efficient at poker & there were less fish
because of all this the game was not seen as a fun thing for the average player anymore, so they stopped
and all that was left was highly optimized players all competing with each other all day long for scraps of what they used to make
all hoping for those early day vibes to come back
....they didnt
you can still make money with online poker today, but the big money/fish are all gone, & you'll never make those early 2000s numbers
and without maximum tooling, knowledge, & professional skillset you are basically throwing money into the wind
(sound familiar)

Narrative violation: Met a fisherman from Santa Cruz last night who’s been fishing for over 50 years. He said the ocean is the healthiest he’s ever seen it. More fish than ever, whale populations are booming, species that had nearly disappeared are coming back.
Not all doom and gloom out there.

Follow this guy. He’s about to spend an entire year without looking at a screen, while tracking his biomarkers and overall health to see what changes.
It feels like removing a dagger from my leg.
Headache. Dysphoria. Flatness. Hearing phantom iPhone dings in my sleep.
Days 1-3 were more of a rush. I felt light and free.
On day 4, the withdrawals began. I've never had to kick something like this before.
Screens are a legit to see if the month 6 PET scan shows enhanced metabolism in regions that improve in drug addicts who quit like the thalamus, frontal cortex, and striatum (reward circuit).
There are no PET studies of people quitting screens, so Dr. Eber and I are breaking new ground.
Image attached is baseline PET (F18 tracer). That's one of a few scans I'm tracking.

Seemed like a legitimately helpful guy. Dead in a plane crash with wife and children. That's how fast it can all change. Especially since Charlie was murdered, I wake up every day with a deeper sense of my own mortality. One minute you're smiling on camera, the next....
Over the past 12 months, I spoke to more than 50 top-tier VC firms about investing in my $25M ARR SaaS company.
After a full year of pitches, term sheets, and big promises...
I walked away from every single one and decided I would NEVER take VC money.
Most people would say is was one of the best decisions of my founder career.
So I just recorded a video, going over the 7 reasons why I chose to stay bootstrapped, why taking VC money would have been catastrophic for my business and what this means for you.
I show you:
- Why dividends beat lottery tickets (and how I'm banking $1M/month in profit)
- The harsh truth about investor "value-add" (spoiler: it's mostly BS)
- Why a new seat at the table destroys companies
- How investors play a portfolio game while you're all-in on ONE bet
- Why I don't believe in spreadsheets or metrics

Our investigators are observing never-seen-before laundering patterns with the stolen funds from the Binance exploit. Thousands of transactions in a short period suggest that the attackers are using automation to obscure the trail of funds. Rather than simply moving funds onward, te them among addresses, often sending funds back to addresses involved earlier in the sequence.
