    QUESTION 
    If you go scroll twitter, known as X now, there are a lot. But you are talking to internet avatars across thousands of miles and you just don’t know what’s real or just fabricated attention farming. Once you go offline there are a lot such examples. One of my friend who is both of book smart...

    Curious: Who Here Has Crossed the $1M Mark in Liquid Assets?

    QUESTION 
    A lot of people I know have hit one M liquid excluding primary residence and they aren’t even business owners. It is really because asset prices have performed really well past few years. I crossed that bar recently last year due to gold and silver appreciation. My father, a retired engineer...

    3 years of 60-80hr weeks. They said I work too much.

    MINDSET 
    Ya most people are doing chores in their “non-work” component of their daily schedule..…which is just doing essential work without monetary gains anyway. That’s why they need 2-3 vacations per year to put a stop to this. The whole idea of “work vs life” is flawed…because you aren’t having...

    3 years of 60-80hr weeks. They said I work too much.

    MINDSET 
    What is work? What is working hard? It could be subjective imo. If I push more than 12 hours a day highly focused for more than 2-3 weeks my immune system gets weakened and I get slight allergic skin rashes here and there. Cortisol rises and it became harder to get focused. So I know for me...

    Decreasing margins - subconscious entrepreneur fear

    MINDSET 
    This is my own sticking point too. Scaling and growing means the necessity of embracing lower margin. Eating a small piece of a watermelon is bigger than taking the 100 percent of the whole grape.

    It was a big IPO hype last year but the valuation and price was insane. I have been fairly active as a crypto hobbyist and usdc (issued by Circle) is a life blood in the ecosystem. Governments worldwide mainstream position was “we love blockchain but not crypto”. Exporting one’s own fiat...

    That’s what tiktok is built for. Factory to buyers direct without middleman. The factory owner pitches his or her brand directly.

    Has anyone been successful in third-world countries like Peru, Colombia, or Venezuela?

    MARKETING EXECUTION 
    I sold premium wooden souvenirs made in Malaysia to local retail shops in Singapore. They found it too expensive and told me tourists prefer cheap metallic souvenirs that are made in bulk from China. Thats was in 2016-2017 period.

    I have a close friend who is very savy about this and he tips me on projects. I disagree that airdrop farming is “very little work” or maybe you have good experience with good projects? A lot of them need you to be actively swaps or transactions. I don’t even have time to do all only the too...

    The original argument was that you can move large sum of assets across borders easily using BTC. But now you can do the same for dollar and gold and even stocks. But BTC still has value being truly decentralised with no single authority that has control over it. No one can freeze your BTC...

    You can leave the country with stable coin, tokenized stocks and tokenised gold also. BTC recent weakness is due to people having too much option and access to too many options on crypto origin trading platforms. Get yourself a VPN and you can trade 10x tokenised Tesla on many such platforms...

    IDEA 
    I faced the issue more than a decade ago. The jobs I wanted to do didn’t shortlist me or I didn’t get an offer eventually. The roles that accepted me ask me in disbelief, that “do you know you are overqualified? Your grades are too good to do this. Are you sure?” I know that I didn’t want to...

    In Singapore there are plenty of people who do a second part-time job for extra money to make things less stressful. 20 years ago the average “low-skilled/unskilled” earns 2k a month. Now it’s about 3k a month. But cost of living probably doubled. I talked to our Grab (Uber equivalent)...
