Unpopular opinion: remote work is mostly bullshit. Way more gets done when you’re all in the same office.

When you get senior enough, most jobs eventually converge to reading, writing, and speaking. Worth investing early on in learning how to do those three things well.

I've recently noticed all of my good ideas come from the following, in ranked order: 1. Reading books 2. Conversations with a handful of A+ people 3. Twitter (yes, really) 4. Long runs 2019 plan is simple: spend more time doing the above, and less time doing everything else.

One of the biggest traps for both investors & founders in crypto these days is the endless stream of conferences. It's easy to go from one to the next feeling like you're doing work,& not actually accomplishing anything. Most of the meaningful work is done at home, unglamorously.

Enough psychedelics have not been involved in the design of most metaverses I’ve seen to date.

I always find it annoying when someone I never talk to sends a message “hi, how are you?”. There’s a 100% chance they want something and a 0% chance they actually care how I am. Spit it out, I’ll help you if I can! But please cut to the chase.

If you wanted to be accurate, you would say this was Visa’s fault. Less accurately, you would blame Coinbase. But blaming bitcoin makes literally NO sense

The further along you get in your career, the less you’re paid to actually do things, and the more you’re paid to make great decisions.

My favorite kind of books are non-fiction that read like fiction. What are your top recs that fit that category?
