We try to do these once or twice a year and its a good time for an update. Noticing these types of things can help you save time, meet the right people and avoid arguments. During the pandemic, people are forced to communicate remotely and the word choices that people make will highlight how they […]
Feel free to ignore this post at your own risk. We won’t argue with you. You’ll see why in the post. If you’ve lived long enough to see hundreds of irrational and illogical decisions made by people, you’ll build a new framework for how they tick.

It will also explain why we’re always going to hold some gold/crypto even if both assets went to zero (extremely unlikely in our opinion). “Money” is essentially a solution to the coincidence of wants. In […]
The divide is here. There is no real solution from a macro perspective since we’re not politicians and we don’t have much of a say on anything. One of the themes here is that you should focus on the “microeconomics” since big changes are unlikely to happen (waiting and hoping is not a sound strategy). […]
