tl;dr
- Traded $32k to $1.2m
- Thought I was a genius
- Made poor investments
- Didn't conserve capital
- Peaked at 150 BTC
- Lost nearly all of it
2 weeks from losing my house + no income. Oops.
1/ Feels like a good time to tell the story of how I went from broke to a millionaire to broke again in 2017/18 again...
Yesterday was brutal for some people...
Losing life-changing money sucks, losing any money sucks...you can chase the market or you can change your strategy.

If you are really in it for the tech, go and build something.
- Better traders than you
- People who can move markets
- Unknown information
And if you are trading with leverage you might blow up your account with the volatility.
I made the decision that the crypto with the best opportunity of existing in 10 years is #Bitcoin:
- Solves a genuine problem
- The right tech
- A proven track record
- Ethereum (minimal)
- XRP (Arrington Capital, oops)
- Link (lol)
- Dentacoin (err)
But Bitcoin - MicroStrategy, Square, Ruffers, MassMutual...
There is a wall of money coming, and it isn't going into XRP... another easy signal, these people don't want to sell their #bitcoin, why? @bgarlinghouse can't wait to unload his shitcoin on you, why?
- Tezos foundation
- Block One (remember EOS?)
- I suspect Roger Ver still holds a load
- Even rogue states
Why?
https://t.co/wiKjHtRmY6
- Only crypto which is meaningfully decentralised
- Regulatory moat established
- Genuine censorship resistance
- Fixed cap
- Predictable issuance
It is the best and hardest fucking money that has ever existed. You can argue against this but you are wrong.
- Detractors turn to bulls
- Maxi narratives are proved right
- Price sets new all-time highs
- Security increases
- Governments print more useless fiat
- Argued against narratives
- Tried to fix Bitcoin (I was new and knew better)
- wAs oPeN MiNdEd
- Watched by BTC stack dwindle away
21 million divided by your sat stack = your score.
$ value is volatile but your score is the amount of the new financial paradigm you own.
Stack your sats (h/t @matt_odell)
Stop playing short-term games, zoom that shit out, if you can't handle the drops you are over-leveraged.
Bitcoin is economics 101 - supply and demand. We're talking about hard money, people who get #Bitcoin stay, they rarely sell...
Yeah, you're going to out trade the market, sure you are. Some will, most won't.
My edge is podcasting, so I make shows, sell adds, make a profit and buy #bitcoin. What is your edge?
1. Earn money
2. Buy #Bitcoin
3. Be patient
I know what some of you are thinking, but what if #bitcoin fails? Have you not seen the shit it has survived? Silk Road, Mt. Gox, civil wars.
It is still here and stronger than ever.
https://t.co/SPkFpl2Xz9
Look, 2018 sucked, going from paper millionaire to broke was a motherfucker, but tears won't bring back the money.
...at the end of every month, I will have more sats than the end of the last month.
Then with a little patience, I trust #bitcoin to do its thing.
...we're not fucking selling because it is heading to $100k.
...we're not selling at $500k because it is heading to $1m.
(Okay, I will definitely sell a little at $1m for a Lambo, bite me - but 0.2btc for a Lambo, sounds good right?)
Inflation punishes the prudent. This isn't right, is it?
If you want to build a solid financial future then you need to build solid foundations. You got this!

โWe donโt negotiate salariesโ is a negotiation tactic.
Always. No, your company is not an exception.
A tactic I donโt appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but thatโs negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.
Listen to Aditya
And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.
I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didnโt want to work there.
You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but itโs not happening.
Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. [โฆ]

"we don't negotiate salaries" really means "we'd prefer to negotiate massive signing bonuses and equity grants, but we'll negotiate salary if you REALLY insist" https://t.co/80k7nWAMoK

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.

1/โWhat would need to be true for you toโฆ.Xโ
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, โXโ could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- โFeel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- โFeel that weโre in a good place as a companyโ
- โFeel that weโre on the same pageโ
- โFeel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we arenโt that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders donโt know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is โwhat would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?โ
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
