Paying off debt is probably one of the most important that you can do.
Money in the past:
Gold
Money back then:
Fiat (Government issued currency) - US Dollars
Money Now:
Time
Attention
Energy
Information
Power
Influence
Privacy
Scarcity
Building Assets is Key.
Wealthy people build their assets up first then borrow against them using Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO), and Securities Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOC).
Don't use a normal credit card.
Build your credit with a Credit Builder instead.
Purpose, Connection, and Love are all dying from the world.
We must heal, and reconnect the world to the greater purpose.
Make Liberalism about Capitalism Again!
Make Conservatism about Traditional Values Again!
Make Libertarianism about Property Rights Again!

Make Nationalism about Protecting The National Family Again!
Nevermind, no court, I guess.
Just have to pay the fine, and do traffic school.
I honestly hate driving so much.
They make it a necessity by poor infrastructure design then give it to as a privilege but then find every way to charge you for it.
Driving costs like $300+ / month.
I'd rather take a train for a $20/month metro pass but CA can't build.
Driving is so boring, and soul crushing.
I'd rather relax, drink a coffee, or tea, read a book, or sleep, write some code something instead of wasting my time in traffic.
I have to deal with a speeding ticket tomorrow π.
I'll only get 4 to 5 hours of sleep because the court is at 8 am (08:00).
I plan on retiring off the dividends, and having the appreciation as a little treat.

If your coworkers have an iq less than 100 then AI is already better than most of them.
Newer models coming soon are estimated to be at 130 iq.
So smarter than practically most people on earth.
It's on like o3 right now, probably because the logic, and reasoning aspects are still early, and need to be fleshed out.
I'm sure the primary concern is model run time, usually they limit most models to like a minute at most to prevent rogue thinking.
I'm not sure but the more time an AI is given to think the better its answers tend to be.
The Media: "Trump is helping Russia"
The Media: "Hunter Biden's Laptop is fake"
The Media: "Matt Gaetz is a pedo"
The Media: "Elon Musk is a Nazi"
The Media: "Vaccines are Safe, & Effective"
The Media: "J6 was caused by Trump"
New Media lie: "Israel is committing genocide"
Just look at Boston Dynamics, and it's Atlas model.
This is what it was capable of 3 years ago, which in tech terms is outdated.
This plus deepseek, Google, or an Open AI model is basically better than most if not all humans at this point.
Also Atlas has a new slimmer, more updated model now than this video from what I can tell.
The job industry that I work in is proactively being threatened by automation, and AI.
I'm under the assumption that if I'm not a millionaire then I am behind, and I will assume that if I don't have $5 million by the time I retire I will be behind.
Inflation is about to take us for a ride.
I came to a conclusion that I thought was interesting when discussing my thoughts on The Trinity.
From Conventional Jewish Thought, El (God) is One as in one entity, what Christians typically call "The Father".
But then I realized El is one, as in one unit a family in the reflection of The Almighty's perfect design, The Father ("God" /Elohim / Yah ) is the father who corrects, The Mother (The Holy Spirit / RuachΒ Ha-Kodesh) is the mother who nutures, and The Son (Jesus/Yeshua) is the son who leaves his parents to join his wife, The Church.
When a man leaves his parents household, he becomes one with his wife, in Judaism this concept is called Echad, which transcends the physical manifestation of a child's birth, a child is simply a reflection of the unity of bond between a husband, & wife, it is a deep connection.

Most of your peers are probably maxing out their credit cards on Uber. You have taken a lot of initiative to learn about things that matter.
To be fair, I am 28 but when I started learning about finance, and economics I was around 19 or 20, it was after Andrew Yang talked about UBI, and automation displacement that woke me up.
I wanted to know how wealthy people made money, and how to earn an income when I eventually get my job replaced by automation.
I started searching stuff up, and learned about the stock market, credit, bonds, all that, etc. plus obviously crypto.
Since then I've learned a lot, I still have more to learn of course, and some progress to make but I think I'm heading in the right direction.
But thank you π.
People (white men) will begin to go to college again once colleges incentivize lower costs, better educational material, and better job security.
Right now colleges are still too woke, expensive, and deliver suboptimal guarantees on future financial stability for most people.
There should just two blockchains, one for transactions, and another for everything else.
Yes, I like Hoppe, and heavily support his ideas.
If I recall there is a command that audits supply but myself personally I am not aware of the mathematics, or code necessary to audit the supply.
However, I have trust in the code, and cryptographic processes not to fail.
Just like I had trust in bitcoin to not have inflation bugs when it did, which were of course fixed.
And I believe that if such an occurrence were to happen in Monero then the core developers would make the necessary adjustments to correct the issue without negatively, and drastically hurting users.
Ideally, it would be optimal to punish the exploiter but given the obfuscation of Monero, it may be hard to determine the individual(s) responsible.
People keep track of the monero network, and I am sure that the community could quickly pinpoint an inflation incident if network usage drastically increased.
Tail emissions is a fixed amount, 0.6 every two minutes.
That offsets (permanently) lost monero.
Bitcoin will eventually run out of coins to circulate, Monero will not.
Even new veins of gold are discovered.
Yes, new Monero is minted.
But New Supply =/= inflation, however typically whenever new supply is introduced inflation typically does occur* (*at least in most fiat currencies).
I haven't looked at Monero's CPI but I imagine Monero CPI is small like 0.5%, which one could consider "inflationary" but given the negligible amount compared to price appreciation it makes it hardly noticeable.
Overall, I would say any inflation Monero would see isn't a problem like it is in fiat.
I already explained my position, and you completely ignored it.
As long as new coins are being issued technically it is inflationary.
Fiat is Inflationary.
Monero is Disinflationary.
Bitcoin is Deflationary.
The difference is that Monero grows in value.
It's the difference between United States, and Switzerland.
Bitcoin like The United States economy grows fast, and rapidly but crashes hard, and wipes out years of progress, whereas Switzerlands economy grows steadily, and predictable over time but doesn't have drastic crashes.
You retain a more predictable range of value.
Bitcoin loses tens of thousands of dollars in swings, whereas monero maybe loses a few pennies to dollars.
At scale monero doesn't have as drastic volatility, the price is more reliable over time.
Yes, I support medical use of marijuana/cannabis.
I am not particularly fond of recreational use but I don't think it's worth the cost to arrest people over it.
It's more effective to tax, and regulate it, so that less people are incentivized to use it.
Weaker strains, and a financial net loss to buy it, plus with legalization it removes the edgy appeal, less people smoke it when it's legal.
My NIP-05 is Jordan@acceptcrypto.org because I run a website called nostr:nprofile1qqsfmt5xeuaeaxdseegdu62errxs2altdl2m24ug3kdjrel9dlte38gpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3vamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwdehhxarj9e3xzmnyqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytfsxyh8jcttd95x7mnwv5hxxmmdrmyzsp which is about encouraging, and promoting Bitcoin, and Cryptocurrency adoption for payments.
Bitcoin is a Cryptocurrency.
It is meant to be used as a medium of exchange but yes, you can also save it too.
The Stock Market is crucial for economic growth, and development, without the stock market the modern economy would be dramatically smaller than it is today.
People utilize savings, and excess discretionary income to give business the money they need to improve their business.
Better technology, new tools, more employees, etc.

"What makes us tick" by John Sutherland (Preserved by The Library of Congress):
I just woke up from a dream where a girl was talking to/flirting with me πβοΈ.
What was weird though is she wearing a shirt with a little red evil emoji like this, and it said 66 below it.

And she was wearing a necklace like a pink or orange color.
Secret meaning, maybe, or just wishful thinking, who knows π€?
Avoiding debt is key.
Without debt it allows to make any financial decision you want in life.

This is why men are gravitating towards political extremism because we've been belittled, ridiculed, and harassed our whole lives, nothing we do is worthwhile or appreciated, we're always "flawed", we're always doing something "wrong" or "bad".
Society pushes us to the ground, and is shocked when we have the audacity to stand up, and push them on the ground back.

I do not use WeChat personally.
I am aware of its popularity in Asia, primarily China.
It's not used as much in America, and other western countries.
