Increase your cholesterol consumption, increase your testosterone

Highest foods with highest cholesterol

Foods with high cholesterol levels are primarily derived from animal sources. Here are some of the foods that are particularly high in cholesterol:

1. Egg Yolks: A single egg yolk contains about 185 mg of cholesterol, making it one of the richest sources of dietary cholesterol.
2. Organ Meats: Liver and other organ meats are extremely high in cholesterol. For example, a 100-gram serving of beef liver contains about 337 mg of cholesterol.
3. Shellfish: Certain types of shellfish are high in cholesterol. For example, shrimp and lobster have higher cholesterol levels, with a 100-gram serving of shrimp providing about 195 mg of cholesterol.
4. Cheese: Cheese can be high in cholesterol, particularly full-fat varieties. A 100-gram serving of cream cheese contains about 110 mg of cholesterol, while other cheeses like cheddar or Gouda contain similar amounts.
5. Butter: High in cholesterol, with a 100-gram serving containing about 215 mg of cholesterol.
6. Fatty Meats: Cuts of meat that have a higher fat content, such as ribs or certain steaks, also contain higher levels of cholesterol. Processed meats like sausages and bacon are also high in cholesterol.
7. Full-Fat Dairy: Full-fat dairy products such as cream and whole milk contain considerable amounts of cholesterol. For instance, a 100-gram serving of heavy cream has about 137 mg of cholesterol.

While these foods are high in cholesterol, dietary guidelines have shifted in recent years to focus less on individual nutrient limits (like cholesterol) and more on overall dietary patterns for health. It’s generally recommended to balance these high-cholesterol foods within a diet that’s rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and to maintain healthy levels of physical activity.

What is cholesterol in food

The history of dietary cholesterol and its perceived impact on health has evolved significantly over the years. Here’s a brief overview:

1. Early 20th Century: Cholesterol was first identified and linked to cardiovascular disease in the early 1900s. It was initially found in the plaques of arteries, leading researchers to consider dietary sources of cholesterol as a potential cause of heart disease.
2. Mid-20th Century: In the 1950s, Ancel Keys, an American physiologist, proposed the lipid hypothesis, which suggested that saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet were linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease. This hypothesis was popularized and led to widespread public health campaigns that advocated for low-fat and low-cholesterol diets.
3. Diet-Heart Hypothesis: Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the diet-heart hypothesis gained traction. This led to the development of guidelines recommending reduced intake of saturated fat and cholesterol. Foods like eggs, butter, and red meat were often vilified due to their high cholesterol content.
4. Late 20th Century: By the 1980s and 1990s, scientific understanding began to differentiate the effects of different types of fats, and the role of dietary cholesterol became more nuanced. Research suggested that the impact of dietary cholesterol on blood cholesterol levels was less significant than previously thought for most people.
5. 21st Century Updates: In 2015, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee made a significant change by no longer listing cholesterol as a nutrient of concern for overconsumption. This shift reflected growing evidence that dietary cholesterol (found in foods like eggs) has a smaller impact on blood cholesterol levels than other factors like the mix of fats in the diet.
6. Current Perspective: Today, the focus has largely shifted towards the overall dietary pattern rather than individual nutrients. The role of dietary cholesterol is now considered in the context of varied diets that also include fiber, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

Overall, the view on dietary cholesterol has shifted from a strict avoidance to a more balanced understanding of its role in a healthy diet, emphasizing that moderation is key and the bigger picture of overall dietary habits is what really matters.

Cholesterol etymology

The word “cholesterol” comes from the Greek words “chole,” meaning bile, and “stereos,” meaning solid. The term was first used in the early 19th century to describe a solid substance extracted from gallstones. The suffix “-ol” denotes an alcohol, which reflects the chemical nature of cholesterol as a type of alcohol found in body tissues and fluids. Thus, “cholesterol” essentially means “solid bile alcohol.”

Why people will still be paid in US dollars, at least in America

My personal hot take is that at least in America, we will continue to use the US dollar for things into perpetuity, and things like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies or crypto assets will be used as a supplement or an addition…

For example, as long as there is a US government, I think the US government will probably be around for at least another 300 or 500 years… As long as there is a government, there is currency, which is the US dollar.

I suppose the reason why the US dollar is valued it has the ultimate brand name. Everyone knows what a Benjamin is, everyone knows the symbol, and no no no, nobody cares about the Chinese Yuan — only the Chinese, and maybe people in Africa or whatever. In fact, I think the future of China is a bit gloomy; apparently China holds a lot of US governmental bonds and debt, but the irony is China herself is in debt. Also, apparently during COVID-19, it also took a hard toll on the Chinese economy.

My personal prediction is that moving forward to the future, it is going to be more and more about information, cyber security or whatever. It seems that because the new world religion is now money and capital, it is in the best interest of all governments around the world to be peaceful, in order for all of these all the girls to keep their pink rules Royce, Their nice mansions in Vancouver, and to continue sipping good American whiskey.

For example, Apple. Apple is good for the planet, because of Apple, I am very dubious we will ever see a war between American and China. At this point, our economies are intertwined, like yin and yang. America innovates, and China does the production. In China is actually insanely good at making products, Whenever people think that made in China is bad, this is not true. I think it just comes down to an overseer things; if you have Americans over seeing the development and production of things, is Apex at producing things.

Let me example with my beloved Titan fitness weightlifting equipment. It is so cheap, and the quality is so good, about a 10th of the price of buying stuff from rogue fitness.

I think the only problem with China, made in China is if you don’t have American people doing quality control.

Bitcoin thoughts

The best way to think about bitcoin

“I could have bought a place in Dumbo before it was Dumbo, have bought a place in Dumbo before it was Dumbo, it was worth 1 million now it’s worth 10 million, how am I feeling? have bought a place in Dumbo before it was Dumbo, it was worth 1 million now it’s worth 10 million, how am I feeling? Dumbo.” – Jay Z

So do you hear about all the stories that “I should have bought property in XYZ before it was XYZ… And I didn’t, and now it is worth 100 million or whatever?

I think the hard thing in the difficult thing is that we human beings have a poor ability to think about digital things. I think the hard thing in the difficult thing is that we human beings have a poor ability to think about digital things. We have a bias towards the physical, the hard, etc.

However, let us consider Google and Facebook. However, let us consider Google and Facebook. They don’t own any physical property per se– all of their value is derived from the digital, the immaterial.

I think this is the same thing with the early advent of the Internet and Google. I still remember, very very vividly, as a child taking my first computer class, taking my first computer class, at PS 169 in Bayside Queens. I think the fifth or sixth grade.

Essentially — there were all these search engines to use, and I think I saw this “search engine for dummies” book, and I remember using and I remember using Alta Vista, yahoo, and stumbling upon Google, and I found that Google by far had the most beautiful and minimalistic layout. If you asked me as an 11-year-old or 12-year-old kid, whether this little Google search engine thing would take over the planet, in terms of information and everything, I would have said no. I wonder if this is also the early advent of bitcoin; do you remember when everyone used to have either a Hotmail or yahoo email address, and then slowly but surely, people adopted Gmail? I wonder if bitcoin is going to be like Gmail, Gmail is the best email service on the planet, bitcoin will also become the same thing, the best digital cryptocurrency or asset on the planet?

Key Drivers

1. The halving

Sound money must do with scarcity! 

What I find so fascinating about bitcoin is that because everyone already knows that they were only ever 21 million bitcoins in existence, ever… And for more or less, people could publicly state how many bitcoin they own, as a consequence, it almost makes one’s wealth transparent open and verifiable.

For example, if you just tell somebody you’re a bitcoin address, your bitcoin wallet token address, proof of reserves… More or less it is verifiable how much bitcoin owns. The problem in today’s world is there is a lot of fake mathematics which goes into determining ones net worth, adding up their real estate values, Rare art, the number of golden toothpicks in heir house etc.

With bitcoin, it is very very easy to determine your net worth, the question is– “What is your Bitcoin net worth?”

I find this to be a very revolutionary idea, let’s say that you just tell somebody that you have an own 15 bitcoin, they could easily do the math and figure out how much it is worth. Or if you have 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 or 1000 bitcoin or whatever.

Money wise

Money wisdom

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that is designed to have a stable value, typically by being pegged to a stable asset such as a fiat currency (like the US dollar), precious metals, or other cryptocurrencies. The main goal of stablecoins is to reduce volatility compared to unpegged cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

There are several mechanisms by which stablecoins maintain their stability:

1. Fiat-Collateralized Stablecoins: These stablecoins are backed by reserves of a fiat currency. For every unit of the stablecoin issued, a corresponding unit of the fiat currency is held in reserve. Examples include USDC and Tether (USDT), which claim to have a dollar in reserve for each coin issued.
2. Crypto-Collateralized Stablecoins: These are backed by other cryptocurrencies but maintain stability through over-collateralization. This means they hold a larger amount of the reserve cryptocurrency than the stablecoins issued, to account for the volatility of the backing asset. MakerDAO’s DAI is an example, typically over-collateralized by a basket of other crypto assets.
3. Algorithmic Stablecoins: Instead of using reserves, these stablecoins use algorithms to control the supply of the stablecoin, expanding or contracting it in response to changes in demand to maintain a peg to a stable asset. Examples include Basis, which was designed to adjust its supply in response to market conditions.

Stablecoins can be used for everyday transactions, providing a less volatile means of exchange in the digital currency space. They are also popular in the cryptocurrency trading community, allowing traders to move funds with relative stability in fast-moving markets.

Benefits over owning US dollars in a checking account

Stablecoins offer several benefits over traditional U.S. dollars held in a checking account, particularly in contexts involving digital transactions and global finance:

1. Transaction Speed: Transactions using stablecoins typically process much faster than traditional bank transactions. This is particularly advantageous for international transfers, which can take several days when using traditional banking systems.
2. Lower Fees: Stablecoins can be transferred at a lower cost compared to traditional banking systems, especially for cross-border transactions. Banks often charge hefty fees for international wire transfers, whereas stablecoin transactions may have minimal or no fees, depending on the network used.
3. Accessibility: Stablecoins are accessible to anyone with an internet connection, providing a financial tool for people in underbanked or unbanked regions of the world. This increases financial inclusion by allowing more people to participate in the global economy.
4. Decentralization: Unlike funds in a traditional bank, which are controlled by the bank and subject to its policies and economic health, stablecoins operate on decentralized networks. This can offer users more control over their own money, depending on the stablecoin and the underlying technology.
5. Programmability: The digital nature of stablecoins allows for programmability. This means they can be integrated into smart contracts and other automated financial applications, enabling complex financial transactions that are automatically executed under certain conditions.
6. Transparency: Blockchain technology, which underpins many stablecoins, offers greater transparency of transactions. Every transaction is recorded on a public ledger, reducing the risk of fraud and corruption.
7. Stability: While cryptocurrencies are known for their volatility, stablecoins are designed to be stable as they are pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar. This makes them a safer choice for people who wish to avoid the price fluctuations associated with typical cryptocurrencies.

These benefits make stablecoins a compelling alternative for various applications, from everyday transactions to complex financial contracts. However, it’s also important to be aware of the risks, including regulatory uncertainty and the dependability of the underlying collateral, especially with privately issued stablecoins.
