“Man is a darkened being; he knows not whence he comes, nor whither he goes.”

— Goethe, Conversations with Eckermann

“It may seem unlikely in principle that one individual could really generate so much more wealth than another. The key to this mystery is to revisit that question, Are they really worth 100 of us? Would a basketball team trade one of their players for 100 random people? What would Apple's next product look like if you replaced Steve Jobs with a committee of 100 random people? These things don't scale linearly. Perhaps the CEO or the professional athlete has only ten times (whatever that means) the skill and determination of an ordinary person. But it makes all the difference that it's concentrated in one individual.”

— Paul Graham, Mind the Gap

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”

— Dale Carnegie

I saw the all-time high price at the time on the front page of Business in WSJ and was like, What the fuck! I need to get some before it’s all gone!

“If you endow enough men, individuals of vivid and different personality, and make the endowment perpetual, to be handed down from artist to artist, you will have put the arts in a position to defy the subversive pressure of commercial advantage and of the mediocre spirit which is the bane and hidden terror of democracy. Democracies have fallen, they have always fallen, because humanity craves the outstanding personality. And hitherto no democracy has provided sufficient place for such an individuality. If you so endow sculptors and writers you will begin for America an age of awakening which will over-shadow the quattrocento; because our opportunity is greater than Leonardo's: we have more aliment, we have not one classic tradition to revivify, we have China and Egypt, and the unknown lands lying upon the roof of the world—Khotan, Kara-shar and Kan-su.”

— Ezra Pound, Ezra Pound and the Visual Arts p. 268-269

You can still get 25 sats per article read at the moment on the Bitcoin Magazine app
