How to stomach a 99% draw down
This is actually an interesting idea… So assuming that we know with 100% precision that bitcoin is going to go up into the right forever, with insane extreme volatility like major swings up and downs, 99% gains, but also 99% drawdowns, how would we proceed?
Well I think the interesting thought is thinking like Jeff Bezos… I don’t think we give him enough credit, the general ideas that you stick to your principles your first principles, and then… you think about your internal metrics.
So what’s interesting is with Amazon, he saw that the stock plummeted from like $100 a share to like $.99 a share… and the big thought that he had was the stock the stock price is not the company. Even though that the Amazon stock went down 99%, he looked at all the internal measures in realize, that actually… The company was performing better than ever, and that the drawdown of stock price did not reflect the real reality of the company improving at an insane rate.
This is where I think it is important also to turn a blind shoulder to the news. Generally is my thought that, all news whether it be social media Twitter X, your favorite influencer news outlet etc.… It is always predicated on getting more engagement clicks reads follows retweets etc. And typically is around strong emotions like fear pornography. In fact, I have funny thoughts for any investor, just quit the news, give up the news, keep the pr0n
I didn’t even know what FTX or Sam Bankman-Fried was
I think one of my greatest proud moments enjoys was during I think 2018, 2019… When we saw a bitcoin go from $65,000 a coin down to I think maybe like $8000 a coin… Essentially I had zero idea that was happening, as that was very merely at the gym every single day, lifting for maybe like three hours, warm up included, and hot sauna… Chasing my infamous thousand pound atlas lift.
And during the time I just spend more time in my thoughts, thinking about bitcoin, life fitness etc.
And the truth is real innovation true innovation happens when you are disconnected.
Whenever you see all these like fictitious images or visions of these tech billionaires, like Jack Dorsey or whatever… It’s actually quite hilarious I almost look like them, they essentially look like and be behaved like homeless people, they almost take like a tech vow of poverty and disconnection, and yet, they are the most radical real inventors and innovators.
the body
This is also a big thought that have, assuming that you’re like lifting 12 times your body weight, if you could lift 900 kg, you hot yoga every single day, you go on a hike every day, you touch dirt once a day, you ride your bike around town, you sleep 8 to 12 hours a night, and you feast on the best beef bone marrow and beef liver and ribs, how could you live a poor life?
I think actually the big problem with most people is that bodily they are in poverty. Like even these dudes who seem successful, they are like super emaciated weak looking. When is the last time besides Pavel of telegram that you actually saw a jacked tech founder and leader? 
Health is easy
Health being healthy is actually super insanely easy. It is all via negativa. Cutting things substances etc. No more alcohol no more weed cigarettes marijuana, sleep pills uppers downers etc. The only drug we should stick to is like black coffee, ideally 100% fine robusta, and actually the biggest drug we should I’ve seen from is your iPhone or iPhone Pro.
A fun activity that I’ve been doing is whenever I go to sleep before, or I’m shutting up house, now that I have the privilege of having a detached two car garage in the back, my secret hack is actually charge all of my iPhones, iPads in the back garage, to never enter the front house.
