In the world of crypto, it is not Ethereum, but bitcoin. The instantly recognizable big orange B icon, with the dollar signs around it.

I’ve been spending some time reading blog posts, from the chainlink blog, some thoughts:

1. The best blog posts are the ones in which you can scan them really quickly, and understand the information quickly. Therefore, the use of well described H2 headers is a good idea.
2. Also, embedding YouTube video links is not a good idea. Why? Nobody wants to click that big red button. A better strategy instead is animated GIF images, autoplay. Or even a better idea, or if you use wordpress.org and you have a videopress.com subscription, you can make your videos autoplay in mute.
3. Freshness, frequency publishing and updated: The best blog, or blog posts are the ones which frequently get updated. The worst thing that a blog can do is that when you revisit it, it is not updated. The best blog is always being constantly updated, having new things published to it. For example, can you imagine going on Reddit, and not seeing any new things posted?
4. Images: we humans are visual creatures. I’ve discovered that randomly interspersing images is very good, even if the images themselves have nothing to do with the information around it. In other words, better to have a bad image or an unrelated image than no image.

Why are blogs so important?

I believe that a blog is at least 100,000 times more important than social media. Why? It is the best place to share pertinent information and knowledge.

For example, when I think about the success of myself, and how I became so influential, it was not from social media, not even from YouTube; it was from my blog, this blog.

What I really like about crypto, and crypto technology is that there is so much for me to learn. It seems both practical, philosophically interesting, etc.

For example, the notion of “self custody“.

Also when it comes to crypto technology related things, I really enjoy reading these PDF technical papers.

Game Finance — GameFi

Chain.link — right now might be a good chance to buy.

Why? If you go to the chainlink blog, it looks like they got Eric Schmidt on board, the former CEO of google.

Something interesting Eric Schmidt said in a conversation with Sergey:

When building up Google, what we tried to do was put a little bit of Google in everything.

It seems that this similar line of thinking applies to chainlink; put a little bit of chainlink in everything.

Why do I like crypto? It is sexy.

Becoming an influencer is pretty straight forward:

The first thing is pursue something that you are so insanely passionate about that you’re willing to outhustle anybody else by a factor of 1000X.

The second thing is use the Internet. Publish your thoughts, your videos, your photos, your ideas, your audio, your artwork, etc. online. Do not use Instagram or Facebook or Twitter; spend 90% of your effort building up your own blog, self hosted on wordpress.org, and 10% of your effort on YouTube.

The third thing is think independently, and create independently. This means don’t create and make things based on what everyone else is doing. For example, the hilarity is that I publish a lot to YouTube, upload a lot of videos to YouTube, upload a lot of vlogs to YouTube, I upload a lot of stuff to YouTube, yet I never look at YouTube. A simple thought to success:

Spend 99% of your time and effort creating and producing and publishing, and only 1% of your time and effort consuming.

The fourth thing is time. I started blogging, uploading stuff to YouTube ever since I was 21 years old. As I write this I am currently 35 years old, I was born in 1988, and I suppose if I do the math, I have been in the game for over 14 years. It took me 14 years to get about 10,000 subscribers to my email newsletter, and I’m still going strong.

The fifth thing is the email newsletter. Even though email is a pretty bad technology, it seems to be the most effective way to propagate your thoughts. For example, I think the average person probably checks their email every two minutes. The penetration rate of email is probably 10,000X of that of social media. Another example, having about 90,000 fans on my Facebook fan page, if I post something organically, only maybe 200 people will see it organically. That rate is atrocious. However if I send out an email newsletter, my open rate seems to be around 30%. Much better.

Create, share and publish that which you’re personally curious about

A really big thing is in regards to things, create share and publish things you’re personally curious about.

Concept — to seize an idea. *-kehp

To seize, to hold.

It seems that people lack the ability to think independently.

The best car color for a SoCal car — matte white?

One million dollars:

$1,000,000

One million dollars is a one, and two commas.

One hundred million dollars is —

$100,000,000

A hundred M— a one and zero zero and two commas.

A billion dollars —

$1,000,000,000

A one, and three commas.

If your bank account — let us say your basic Chase checking account looked like that … how would you approach rent, money, expenses differently?

A real billionaire wants to be left alone

If indeed you were a true billionaire, you actually would not want to be known. Can you imagine how insanely annoying it would be everyone telling you for money? Or “donations“?

For example, if you were a real bona fide billionaire, I don’t think you would actually want to drive around in a Rolls-Royce, or a Lamborghini. Why? Too much unwanted attention. Perhaps a better approach would be to just drive an uber luxury low-key car, let’s say a Hyundai Genesis instead. Like the G90.

Something funny I’m starting to realize; money is just a concept.

A thought:

Does Elon Musk think about retirement, contributing towards his Roth IRA, and his 401(k)?

Certainly not.

Interest rates from banks?

Apparently currently speaking, there are all-time highs from banks, offering up to 4 to 5% and even a basic savings account, or checking deposit. The idea:

You can take a large chunk of money, let’s say $500,000, or $1 million, and just put it into a standard savings account, and the bank will magically have your money increase 4-5%.

Where did this money come from? It kind of makes no sense to me; the more I think about it, this whole banking system, fiat currency is starting to feel like a scam.

The real use of money?

Some other thoughts in regards to money: what is the real use of money?

The first obvious one is you need a place to live. A lot of people spend a very very large chunk of money either paying rent, buying a house or a condo, paying their monthly mortgage fees, etc. A really funny thought I had:

Rent should not cost more than $500 USD a month.

For example, one of the outsides of life sharing with Cindy and Cindy‘s mom’s family and her mom is that we don’t pay more than $500 a month in rent, sharing a huge suburban home in orange county California. There are lots of downsides of living in a mega complex house with lots of different people and family members, yet, I still think it may be a net positive. Why? You could save inordinate amount of money on rent, for example, I’ve seen that in Santa Monica at this new apartment condo called the park… a studio is $4,800 USD a month, a 1 bedroom is $5,800 USD a month, a 2 bedroom is $8,900 USD a month, and a 3-bedroom is $10,900 USD a month.

So the question is, where did this money magically come from?

Nerds at the computer pushing buttons, and ones and zeros?

My personal thought is in regards to money, the best way to approach things is to create real value and real wealth through real products, real services, real humans.

For example, Kanye West became a billionaire after you started designing and selling inordinate amounts of Yeezy sneakers in partnership with Adidas. Elon musk became the goat after creating physical cars, the Tesla cars, and selling millions of them. Jeff Bezos did it by creating the most epic Netwerk, the insane innovation of having almost any single product delivered to you within two days, one day, or even same day, or even within an hour or a few hours.

One of the most useful things I have learned and discovered is working out and lifting insanely heavy weights barefoot. I was first inspired by Hafþór, deadlifting 501 kg barefoot. My curiosity:

Why did he do the world deadlift record attempt barefoot?

This is what I think and I understood: when it comes down to it, let us say attempting a new world record, and giving it your all, an individual will strategize and do things in order to gain every possible maximum advantage. Therefore, the simple thought of attempting New world records, personal records, or just lifting an insanely heavy weight is that when you do it barefoot, you have maximum connection with the ground, maximum grip, maximum leverage.

This is applicable when you are doing almost any type of weight lifting. This includes rock pool, squat hold, atlas lift, the lift, farmers walk, squat, etc.

Even for other lists, I think it would be beneficial for bench press, shoulder press, military press, even Olympic weightlifting.

Why don’t more people lift weights barefoot? My theory is that because there is this low-key marketing desire to sell more weightlifting style shoes, it is a huge industry. Also part of it is a safety thing, a lot of commercial gyms don’t want to be sued by people accidentally having weights dropped on their foot. Also I think part of it is a hygiene thing, just walking around barefoot and the gym seems unhygienic.

This is the hilarious irony is that when it comes to traversing the gym barefoot, ironically enough it may be safer, because you are on maximum alert, trying to avoid some other idiots from dropping weights on your foot.

After having spent considerable time golds gym Venice beach, working out and warming up in the sun, being outdoors etc., and now going back to my traditional gym which is dark and indoors, I’m starting to hate being indoors more and more. The lesson and moral of the story:

Get a quick pump inside the gym, and get your ass outside the gym.

Try to avoid talking to people in the gym, they regardless of how interesting they may be.

Being indoors is bad for your health and strength!

I feel this is quintessential advice, especially during the winter months.

Also, maybe when choosing an apartment or a house or a home, the ultimate optimization is for natural light.

This should be the marketing language for the Hyundai N line; as a way for people to remember what “N“ stands for.

Just ignore and walk away. The best method.

No such thing as a “cowardly” woman.

Get dem gainzzz:

If you want to rack pull more, or move heavier weight, the secret is in your legs. Use your legs more.

The gym is a good place to work out, and also a good to work?

We are currently in the year 2023. Why are we still producing and driving gasoline cars?, it is insane.

Getting fit is relatively straightforward. It is all via negativa things — simply get rid of the things which weaken you.

My simple prescriptions include stop drinking soda, sweetened beverages, stop consuming anything with fake and artificial sweeteners, stop eating bread, carbs, starches, vegetables and fruit, pasta, rice, beer, wine, spirits and alcohol, weed, drugs etc.

Also, don’t sit.

For positive exercises, do anything which promotes you standing.

One thing I have observed is ultimately, when it comes down to it, people are more fascinated by feats of strength, instead of bodily muscles and physique.

Girls like strong guys.

Also, men are more impressed and flabbergasted by insane strength.

For example, apparently I went viral after doing a seven plate atlas lift, but that is nothing compared to my plate and beyond Atlas lift.

For example, a lot of people have randomly started talking to me, after witnessing me lift heavy weights, or attempting to lift very heavy weights. For example, pretty girls at the gym telling me, “that’s a lot of weight“. Also guys telling me the same.

Or, guys at the gym aceeding to me. When I am about to attempt a new personal record in my atlas lift, and I am insanely hyped up, and I am frantically looking for a 5 pound plate, or 2 1/2 pound plate, guys will randomly tell me, “feel free to take whatever you want.”

Also, at golds gym Venice, when hunting for the 200 pound dumbbell, a random guy saying “let us get out of your way, take whatever way you want.”

It seems that everyone wants to become more productive, yet, why doesn’t anybody give thought to human physiology?

Weight lifting is an “essay”, an “assay”— an attempt.

Time to take over.

This is what I desire to promote and advance:

The only cars which Seneca cares for is Tesla:

Our new stoic approach?

My new goal.

Words move us.

Money as insurance? “Secure”, security,

Secura— without care.

Se— without.
