Code and media are permissionless leverage. They're the leverage behind the newly rich. You can create software and media that works for you while you sleep.
An army of robots is freely available - it's just packed in data centers for heat and space efficiency. Use it.
If you can't code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts.
Leverage is a force multiplier for your judgement.
Judgement requires experience, but can be built faster by learning foundational skills.
There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes.
Study microeconomics, game theory, psychology, persuasion, ethics, mathematics, and computers.
Reading is faster than listening. Doing is faster than watching.
You should be too busy to “do coffee," while still keeping an uncluttered calendar.
Work as hard as you can. Even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work.
Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true.
There are no get rich quick schemes. That's just someone else getting rich off you.
Apply specific knowledge, with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve.
When you're finally wealthy, you'll realize that it wasn't what you were seeking in the first place. But that's for another day.
And to finish, sorry for spamming^^
either those things, or mine a bunch of BTC on your desktop GPU in 2012
$boudi people in 2012 were lucky, re-read the title of the topic
really? or did they just use their superior awareness of the world around them to jump on an opportunity early.. no different to buying a share or starting a business
I remember people on forums talking about mining bitcoin, litecoin, etc and I didn't take part even though it would have cost me very little to do so
if you say that's luck, then anyone who makes money buying property at least is in a similar basket - worse, because they are risking capital with leverage
being in the right place & time is `luck`; of course you can fuck it up even then, but you already are 90% there just with that
Disagree. There is very little investment that doesn't rely on capitalizing on opportunity. The right place was being alive, the right place was anywhere in the world
example; bunch of start-ups fail because they are too early - not the right time
Start ups are mostly bullshit trying to feed off venture capital - they wouldn't use their own money to fund their crazy ideas
The best way to get rich is travel back in time to 2010 and get some Bitcoins
