<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re so high, lofty and great, then perhaps there is no more need to compete. That is, you just follow your passion. Just like how Dr. Dre<\/a> keeps making music even though he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rich as fuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dionysian joy of creation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Then you think about Kanye West<\/a>, that is now that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a billionaire, why does he still make music? He doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need to do it for monetary purposes anymore. This is where I feel his real innovation is coming, especially with his last on the album, that is he is just striving to make truly great music. He is no longer trying to sell albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s on my mind?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In my mind, and in my heart, I already feel like a crypto billionaire<\/a>. That is, I feel like I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m on Jeff Bezos<\/a> level. Where I no longer need to worry about money, instead, I focus more on virtue, aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, entrepreneurship and art. where I could speculate for fun, and at this point all of this is child\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s place. That is, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m just having fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
