I think crypto community needs a better dressed genius leading the way...
just saying, yes the guy is a billionaire in his 20s, he did some epic shit.
Yes he doesn't give a damn what he looks like.

But.... this is just hard to un-see!






Dress in ANYTHING is better than the damn pyjamas, and hit a gym for F*ck sake. OMG.

It's pretty sad and embarassing, but eccentricity in the crypto space is sort of expected. Even his shirt is stained.

I’m not interested in anything he’s selling or saying.

@MJ DeMarco just mentioned eccentricity… I’m honestly convinced that dressing nice, being professional, combing your hair, refraining from tattoos and piercings, perhaps even being clean shaven is now eccentric. When 90% of men have beards now, to try to be “manly,” there is nothing really edgy or rebel about it.

It’s like I’ve entered an alternative universe where raising a family, being married, going to church, and being an upstanding, productive, and competent adult is somehow rebellious and counterculture…

… But none of these self proclaimed rebels think so which is just funny.

Welcome to the Kali Yuga - horrifically unhealthy behavior is venerated and healthy behavior is excoriated.

"The invalids are the great danger to humanity. Not the evil men, not the predatory animals, those people who are from the outset failures, oppressed, broken; they are the ones, the weakest, who most undermine life among human beings, who in the most perilous way poison and question our trust in life, in humanity, in ourselves." - Nietzsche

On the topic of shaving:

I found an ancient safety razor around the house. It has to be ~50 years old, as it's from when my mom worked as a hairdresser in her 20s.

I bought 100 blades for €10 (these) and it was love at first shave. I'm back to my beloved baby face

I own an electric razor too and there's an abyss in shaving quality, but it's still nice for keeping body hair in check.

If you're still using disposable razors I feel sorry for you. I'm a safety razor apologist now. They're cheaper and offer better quality shaving. They are better for the environment too as you aren't wasting tons of plastic with disposable razors.

What's worse is my house has a huge mountain to the east which would mean the sun would finally peak over its top around 10 AM, perhaps later.

That sucks. I spent some time in houses bordering mountains (for example in Andorra) and it was strange and tiring to wait so long for the sunrise. There are some regions in Andorra where they get almost zero sunlight in the winter because it never goes over the peak of the mountains. It's brutally cold there.

The idiots in clown country Canada are giving us the choice of switching the clocks twice a year, or permanent DST. Why not offer a vote on permanent normal time? I don't even know what it's called, but I would take an hour of morning sun over an hour of evening sun any day.

The problem is that winter time IS normal natural time (or at least it is in Europe). So given a choice between switching the clocks or having permanent winter time, I'd rather keep switching the clocks.

Yes he doesn't give a damn what he looks like.

That's the thing. He's a genius. In his domains, he's by far the smartest guy on the planet. The mind of such a guy doesn't bother wasting its energy on picking the right clothes.

Also, he's on the autistic spectrum which is very clear to see when you watch a couple of videos with him and pay attention to his behavior. As smart as he is, he struggles with social norms and dressing well is one of those things.

Dress in ANYTHING is better than the damn pyjamas, and hit a gym for f*ck sake. OMG.

I doubt that going to the gym is anywhere in his priorities. Which is both understandable and a shame. It's understandable because he wants to spend 100% of his time doing what he does best. It's a shame because without taking care of his body, his mind may eventually stop working so well or he'll live a shorter life.

It's pretty sad and embarassing, but eccentricity in the crypto space is sort of expected. Even his shirt is stained.

This is what makes him who he is. Many people who invest in crypto (and most certainly first movers) are rebels and nerds. They can relate to him because he's weird and awkward just like they are (though like I mentioned in my response to @Antifragile, he's not actually deliberately like this). He would have never become such an icon if he dressed well and was handsome and jacked up.

Also, again, I'm not sure if the words "sad" and "embarrassing" are the right choices for a guy who's gifted with incredibly high IQ but who was born without much social intelligence through no fault of his own.

The guy is the driving force behind one of the biggest trends in the last few decades. He's also a billionaire and he's just 28 now. He launched Ethereum when he was freaking 20 - what are most men doing at 20 years of age? Not listening to him because you don't like the way he dresses or looks isn't smart.

If he followed your advice, he'd become everything the crypto community hates. He'd look like your typical sleazy bankster in an expensive suit who gives you a wide smile with his pearly whites while F*cking you in the a$$ with an iron poker while you aren't looking.

I'm not such a nerd as he is but I have deep, deep respect for the guy because he excels at what he does like very few people on the planet. He's FAR, FAR away from what you think he is and your judgment comes only from the way he looks.

I'm calling you out on this because I know that deep down your values are different than what you demonstrated with this judgment of his.

The guy is different, yes. He doesn't wear suits, yes. He doesn't look like a stereotypical man, yes.

Still, he's a freaking genius whose mind is 1000x more capable than our minds. He's the epitome of thinking BIG, literally.

I encourage everyone to read this article from 2016 (so this was largely in a pre-mainstream-crypto world):

The Uncanny Mind That Built Ethereum

Vitalik Buterin invented the world’s hottest new cryptocurrency and inspired a movement — before he’d turned 20.

www.wired.com

For example, this stuff:

I’ve been told by various people that Buterin learned to speak fluent Mandarin in just a few months, that he’s an autistic wunderkind, that all of his worldly possessions fit into one suitcase, that he once ate an entire lemon without removing the rind, that he’s an android powered by the Ethereum network.

Even those who have worked closely with Buterin seem mystified by him, as though this person is meant to be observed but not really understood.

“I saw him on the commuter train and he was wearing mismatched Hello Kitty socks,” Michael Perklin, the head of security at the Canadian blockchain consulting firm Ledger Labs, who has known Buterin since 2012, told me. “And this is the person building the infrastructure that is challenging the power structures of the most important financial institutions out there.”

Like it or not, people like him will rule the world in the next few decades. I, for one, vastly prefer him over sleazy banksters and politicians. He got to where he is not through slick talking and the right clothes but through his incredible intelligence and hard work.

Do you guys remember the famous Steve Job's quote?

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the one's who do.

Well, Vitalik is that type. Genius, misfit and crazy.

Kali Yuga = Hindu Dark Age

The Nietzsche quote was about how it's the losers who drag society down by demanding that everyone else be as pathetic as them.

Is it just me or are thier money grabbing with fees just getting worse and worse?

It used to be instant bank transfer and now they want 1% for instant transfer or you gotta wait 5 days.

They added fees to pay friends and family.

Exchange rates are heinous.

And I used to have an agreement with them that they gave me because I was so trusted that they’d let me keep the money while any chargebacks were investigated. And now they’re back to freezing it.

Oh and they froze my account the other month for weeks asking for an updated address or something when I’ve had the account like 4-5 years.

Elons book talks about his vision for PayPal and he had a much better idea than the greedy grubs running it now.

What is my advice? I advocate being able to wear a suit, well, for occasions that benefit from being well dressed. Wow, so triggering. If you think my advice is to look like a “sleazy banker” everywhere you go, you haven’t listened to a word.

This guy, in a very public event, decided to wear a stained shirt and pajama pants. To me, it’s over. I don’t care what he did, does, or will do, to me, he’s a dumbass manchild and made no effort to be professional or attract me to his project.

If he was street smart, he would know the vast majority of world’s money is in the hands of people who don’t understand or support dressing like that.

You know what that says to me? He actually has a more selfish priority than a “bigger than him” “why.” Why do I say that? Because he’s literally paying the piper to dress like that, but not with his money, but the project’s continued and increased success… His investors’ success. Ironically, someone like this cares more about how they look, than their project. I’m sorry, I’m not going to pay someone to dress like that so he can be the “billionaire that doesn’t give a shit.”

Notice, I’m not putting Steve Jobs on trial for wearing a turtle neck his entire career. Notice I’m not putting Elon on trial, whom you almost never see in a suit and also says shit that gets him in trouble frequently. Both of these men could/can read a room. Your hero here can’t.

So, spare me your shaming next time. I have a valid point in the actual, real, world. Not the internet world where everything, as I said in my last point, is flipped on its head.

This can’t be a turn off to only me. I’m not going to give that man child my money if I’m one of the ton of slowlane wealthy boomers worth 5-10 million.

Jokes aside, the guy is autistic. Most of what you have said would be true for a neurotypical person, but as someone who spends a lot of time around autistic teenagers, I can say that your "rule book" for social success does not naturally align with the mindsets of many autistic people. They simply do not have the same way of seeing the world that you do, nor the same core motivations or desires. They may end up reaching the same goals, but they might not follow the same path to get there.

This guy probably dresses like this because he likes those clothes or wears them every day.

My brother recently got into an online game where the top player in the world is an autistic Swede who plays 17 hours a day, goes outside 5 minutes a week, and eats lasagna and bread for every meal of every day. He is fully aware that other foods exist, he just has said himself that he does not care because lasagna is his favorite food and all other foods (including steaks haha) are objectively inferior to lasagna. No one is going to change his mind and I kind of doubt anyone will change this guy's mind either

If you’re B2C then I it’s likely a hard decision to remove PayPal as a payment option. My clients and students should already have a credit card so I think I’m fine just using Stripe.

Unfortunately you are correct. The sales I would lose compared to the fees and headaches of dealing with them mean it’s just something I have to put up with.

I understand your point, but you're thinking apples v apples. Pajama crypto guy is an orange. He's a Nikola Tesla for this era, who if you remember, had similar eccentricities and was considered a crazy loon by most. The autism really explains a lot as well which tends to include behavior that violate social norms.

This morning I've officially deleted my PayPal business account. I will no longer do business with PayPal in any way shape or form.

What was the break point? Did you share this already here somewhere?

But thanks for the colourful reply "He'd look like your typical sleazy bankster in an expensive suit who gives you a wide smile with his pearly whites while f*cking you in the a$$ with an iron poker while you aren't looking."

Yes, @MTF, very vivid and colorful. Writing is your superpower.

Yes, in this thread:

QUESTION - PayPal cancels account for password issues

I am puzzled... I had saved my password for my new PayPal business account with McAfee True Key. I was planning on connecting it to my Upwork account. The auto password sign-in feature mysteriously stopped working 3 nights ago. I attempted to sign in manually, but got locked out in the process...

I only intended to post about my previous bad experiences with PayPal, but they gave me new bad experiences within minutes after I made my post.

Took my first freelance payment through Bonsai CRM today. It's still a third-party system, but it's not PayPal. That was $500, and the fees are basically the same... so today PayPal lost $16.55 from me. Hope those collection threats and the $15 dispute charge were worth it.

My oldest is a 10 year old boy who is growing up in the suburbs, his world is drastically different than mine, the US as you know it is gone for this newer generation and frankly it's one of the few things that give me hope.

I am 35 years old, grew up on a rural farm doing hard work every summer since about 14 years old. My family was also very financially strapped, so we were always working and struggling but it was honest work and my parents who spoke no English and had no connections managed to by a 3 bedroom mobile home and then eventually the land it was on, they still own it to this day. I mention this to say I appreciate hard work and when it all comes crashing down it will back to hard work yet again. That world was a very straightforward world and I miss it sometimes, especially when I gotta deal with straight up immoral scammers operating "legally" such as insurance/doctors/teachers/cops all hiding behind "we are just following the rules".

But right now in 2022 I would trust this skinny guy in his stained PJs any day over some financial advisor pitching stocks/mutual funds/bonds/etc. Any appeal to authority whether via a suit/badge/doctor/teacher/cop/credentials/etc. automatically comes under heavy bullshit scrutiny no matter who they are from me these days. A homeless guy walking up to me or straight up asking for money is a lot more trustworthy than any of these credentialed minions, at least he is honest.

“I bargained with Life for a penny,
and Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;

Life is a just employer.
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid” ​

side note, but I find Howard Hughes super fascinating, he's like Nikola Tesla but for the mechanical side rather than electrical. Was also a prolific real estate investor and went big into film and entertainment... lived about as Unscripted as it gets. Also as weird as possible!

(of course, his inventions were nowhere near Tesla!)

Elon Musk hints he might launch his own social media platform

Tesla CEO Elon Musk polled Twitter on Saturday asking whether a new social media platform should be created to challenge Twitter, sparking speculation that Musk may be the one to do so.
