Interesting. So do people fear more the potential of being made fun of by friends/family than the risk of losing money? Or is it equal? I guess if you have to consider both of them then it does become more difficult.

You have to be willing to fail first before you do anything.

Before I bought bitcoin I risked losing everything I invested, failing publicly and having everyone mock me as the internet money nerd. I accepted that outcome.

I said if it comes then I am ready for it.

You have to risk scorn and humiliation to do anything meaningful.

That’s why so few do anything meaningful.

They have the potential, but they’re scared.

My superpower is I can see the future.

It’s made me a millionaire multiple times through entrepreneurship (I bootstrapped a game business when Facebook opened up the API back in ~2007/2008), and then later through investing in Bitcoin early.

My superpower also helped me raise 9 figures for nearly 100 businesses over the traders and saved my friends from losing tens of millions of dollars (maybe hundreds?).

I JUST realized today that I haven’t been in control of my powers for my whole life.

Seeing the future can also be a bane.

I was trying to CHANGE the negative future outcomes that I saw coming - but my superpower is SEEING the future not CHANGING the future.

I was constantly trying to correct behaviors & thought patterns, thinking that I could change things to avoid negative future outcomes.

While I have definitely come in at the right time for people in my life and have 100% changed their future, this takes a major toll on me.

Something simple like my daughter going over her screen time by an hour could put me into an anxiety state where I am envisioning the negative consequences of her continued overuse of screens years in the future … causing me to try to prevent a negative future from happening in the present, which usually leads to arguments because normal people don’t think like this.

Worrying is my cryptonite.

I am now going to focus on finding the tools to help me deal with changing the future in a way that doesn’t send me into worry and anxiety over negative future outcomes that don’t exist yet.

Does anyone else have this super power, and have you discovered a way to interface with normies in a way that allows you to have an impact on the future without harming the present?
