YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED HUMBLE AND STACKED SATS.

STILL CAN BUT SHOULD HAVE TOO.

Stalin was first and foremost a bureaucrat. He was able to become dictator over the USSR precisely because he had an enormous capacity to do mind-numbing paper-pushing work. Lenin gave him lots of such work because he didn't mind doing it and Stalin, in turn, used the bureaucratic position to cement his position once Lenin passed.

Our tendency is to view bureaucracy as something benign and annoying, but in fact it is a cancer that devastates the organization that hosts it. If you've read The Real Anthony Fauci, you'll see that Fauci did something similar to cement his power, just at a smaller scale. It's the consummate bureaucrat, that will double-think their way to the top that ends up in power and unsurprisingly, they are truly sociopathic once in power.

They also don't stop being bureaucrats. Stalin worked 18 hours a day until the day he died, doing the paper-pushing that got him there. It's perhaps why he got more cruel the longer he stayed in power.

Yeah - they did another cover with Kamala holding up a bottle of whiskey.

Probably not easy to find, but for entropy I think it's not that important to be casino grade

You can fix the money, but you can't fix stupid.

I’m going to end up doing a full year without going to bitcoin conferences, by design.

I skipped Nashville, skipped MENA, skipped all the European ones. Nothing against them. Just wasn’t feeling it.

I did the Oslo Freedom Forum in June, but that’s not a bitcoin conference. The last actual one I did was Madeira in spring 2024.

Sometimes it’s good to take a break and refocus rather than phone it in and say the same things again. The things I said before are still valid, so why say them again, you know?

I’ve been traveling to visit family and friends instead.

Those platforms are basura 🗑️

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CALL OUT BULLSHIT. WHEN YOU SEE WRONG, SHINE A LIGHT ON IT.

BUT DO NOT COMPLAIN. DO NOT BEG FOR CHANGE.

BUILD BETTER ALTERNATIVES. BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE.

Wonderful! I hope he enjoyed it 🧡

I mainly end up hiring workaholics. This is a consequence of seeking passionate, smart people who love their work.

So as a manager I mainly find myself telling them to take more leave and asking pointed questions if I receive an email from them far outside hours in their TZ.

But it also means I model the behavior I want, which helps me regulate my own hours. I have youngish kids, and my wife has her own career, so I try to stick to my weekly work hours. And I broadcast that to my team.

I want to work with these people for a decade, so it's a marathon not a sprint.
