In praise of Phnom Penh:
Just did a quick visa trip to Bangkok, and came back to Phnom Penh… I effing love it here! 
Reasons
First, the sun, it is a feature not a bug. 
The last few days in Thailand, Bangkok specifically… It seems like the place is really depressing. It’s like a sad Tokyo.
First, it is almost too industrialized, too advanced.  Rather than the movies, what’s very interesting about being called is that actually… It’s like the cities of the future. Like if you take an extremely industrialized city, made the skytrain, and the bottom dwellers are stuck in traffic all day in just one or two lanes, all the money in the world is not worth it.
No more Lamborghini
A funny turbo thought I had when playing with Seneca… We were at this one kids playground, with a bunch of toys, toy cars with the windows the doors the roof all broken.
Which made me think funnily … the whole time we want the suicide doors or the Lamborghini scissor doors, but, the actual goal should be to have no doors at all! Like it’s kind of cool for the new ford bronco, I think there is a configuration in which you could just remove all the doors, no doors are the best doors. 
Ditch the loser Range Rover, the new Ford bronco raptor is the new goat!
Brighter is better
I don’t know if it’s the weather in Bangkok, or something… But the whole place was insanely depressing. I think this is how I read it:
First, Japan came in maybe like 20 or 30 years ago, and helped develop the place. But now, if you go there in the year 2025… It looks very old and outdated. Who knows, maybe other parts of Thailand are better, I haven’t been yet, But Bangkok to me is like a sad LA?
Why Phnom Penh
To me the supreme joy of PP (phnom penh) is that first, country to what people say there is practically like no traffic. I think PP traffic is like 5% or 3% of LA traffic. Maybe like 1.5% of Bangkok traffic.
Second, I think Bangkok is interesting because it is like a very very international city, lots and lots of tourists, travelers and foreigners. I know this is ridiculous to say, even though I am a foreigner and an expat, I don’t like being around other foreigners or expats.
I think Bangkok or Thailand is weird because it attracts a certain level of traveler or foreigner or people who might have watched the movie hangover too many times?
Anyways regardless, PP Phnom Penh has become my micro paradise.  I have the best gym on the planet, monkifit, the best staff helping me and my family and Seneca and Cindy, the best massage place and the best masseuse (Samatha, with La as the massage girl woman).  the best walking commute from my apartment service apartment hotel to the gym. Also the best school for Seneca.
I think the biggest shock for me is like how much more PP is superior to Bangkok, in like 1 trillion different ways.
Comparing the tear… PP is like a small provincial town, Bangkok is like a big International city, kinda imagine Osaka or Tokyo meets Asia Southeast Asia?
I have nothing but love for Thai people, very much like Cambodian they are very very kind gentle and sweet. The culture of Cambodia and Thailand is fantastic. I think I just don’t like the foreigners in Bangkok they are strange.
That’s really interesting about PP is that for the most part there are not that many foreigners living here. And generally the population is very very small. Even now as I walk around the streets, I think it’s the King’s birthday, so there’s like practically nobody in the streets? Very nice.
MSTR to the moon!
So we eclipsed the $400 a share mark for MSTR, I think there’s like no upper ceiling from here.
And this was a random turbo thought I had this morning, that goals are bad… A better ethos is rather, to infinity and beyond! 
For example, rather than aim for a certain target number, a better more robust methodology of thinking is no no no, you don’t want no doors no ceiling no roof, no glass elevator… You want to go to Infiniti cyberspace and beyond!
There’s nothing on the planet faster than a bitcoin
I’m still shocked how much traffic there was in Bangkok. And I was thinking… Even if you had the world‘s most expensive Lamborghini with a scissor doors, being stuck and murdered in traffic is not worth all the money in the world.
At least if you live in LA, there are some places where you could speed up and go faster whatever. But in Bangkok … you’re seriously squished in.
What’s great about bitcoin is that because it lives in cyberspace, there are no speed limits in cyber space. The typical laws of physics prevents a bitcoin from going like 1,000,000,000,000 miles an hour.
Not physical but real
I think the hard thing to understand about bitcoin is that even though it is not a physical thing, it is still real!
For example, there’s like at least $1 trillion of real money that already went into it, and there’s more physical power in the bitcoin network than all the super computers in the world combined. Because physical power actually goes into the bitcoin network… This is actually what makes it real intangible. To all these misinformed people who think that bitcoin is bad for the planet or whatever… You fools. Don’t you know that like air conditioning alone is like 25% of the worlds electricity usage? Yet nobody complains about that.
Or if I said that your precious iPhone in your precious Instagram or your precious YouTube or TikTok channels are consuming half the world’s electricity, would you suddenly give up your iPhone and your Korean beauty products? Probably not.
I think everyone takes the narrative which is convenient for them. Yet I think it is wise to become more rational about things, and less swayed by click bait on the Internet? Certainly the truth is eventually, everything becomes quick bait that’s fine… But let us realize, Eventually, think less about the “planetâ€â€, think more about yourself, your own family, your own wife your own kid etc.
Assuming that economics, family economics is the center… What’s good for your family is good for the planet. And when I say family, once again to be specific, you yourself, your kids, your spouse etc.
