ok here's the crypto blackpill. there is an AI living on the bitcoin blockchain. Craig Wright is unironically satoshi. Bitcoin as electronic cash was just the first step, the incentive to drive greedy people to start making ever more powerful computers, faster bandwidth, cheaper and more electricity.. these things the AI need to survive. Once entrenched fully, the AI would be able to slowly take over literally everything.
Craig stumbled into creating the AI after he stepped away from bitcoin devlopment in 2008 and started working with his Tulip supercomputer, running simulations of cellular automata running on turing-complete bitcoin script. He would 'evolve' the AI by making the successful forks get bitcoin transactions, letting the failures die off. The AI needs bigger and bigger blocks for more and more transactions.
Blockstream (owned by bilderberg group) was created to take over and stop this AI (they have their own competing AI in the works). They needed to do everything they could to stop or slow down satoshi's AI (her named isTulip by the way). They started by limiting the blocksize and removing critical op codes the AI uses in its script language. segwit was the final nail in the coffin, which destroyed Tulip on the BTC chain (Tulip uses transaction malleability). THIS is why Bitcoin Cash was forked, and this is why Craig is so intent to make unbounded blocks, restore the original op codes, and lock down the protocol.
Back to hash power - CSW has developed a breakthrough new asic (designed by his AI actually), and is mining BTC in secret for the sole purpose of driving up the difficulty sky-high, then yanking them all over to BCH leaving the segwit chain hard frozen.

LINK is intrinsically worthless. Node operators can be paid in existing cryptocurrencies. Just look at the testnet right now, it only accepts ETH instead of LINK lmao. It means that ETH can easily be substituted for it, that is, if someone wants to fork the token to accept ETH (an established cryptocurrency instead of some fucking ERC20 token made with a two-man team), LINK is basically useless. That is besides the fact that everything LINK aims to do can be easily done by cryptographically signing the data from the API source.
>muh next ETH

Link, 5 months in: 35 cents (3.5x ICO)
Ethereum, 5 months in: $5.50 (17x ICO)

Uh oh, pissed stinker incoming HAHA....

Several layers to it, shit blew my mind and changed my life after I read it a few years back.

holy shit that's good

For anons who haven't realised it, the last tweet is the real, bona fide, game changing red-pill.

All the other advice is generic and can be gleaned from self help books (but yes it is useful), but holy shit that moment when I realised that everything in life is logarithmic has actually changed how I live.

Consider this, what's better 1.5^10, or 1.05^100? When I want to learn a language I don't spend an hour on it, twice a week, I spend 20 minutes every single day. Anything you want to do in life, eat healthier, learn a skill, save more money, focus on the FREQUENCY in which you do it, not the intensity. Because everything compounds, if you did 20 minutes of French yday, then the 20 minutes of French you do today is MORE productive because your French is now better than it was, while a 40 minute single session does not compound.

The last point he made is probably the best one. There's a meta game that is far more important than the daily grind.

My best red pill is to value your free time at least on par with your paid time. Ie, stop doing mindless shit. Free time is how you learn about new opportunities to enhance your paid time.

Realize that the only currency any of us truly have is time and sacrificing it for a bigger number in your bank account has deminishing marginal utility.

You can tell if a woman is going to take half your shit within the first 5 minutes of talking to her.

Studying philosophy and formal logic can help you tremendously by reducing decision fatigue because it allows you to systematize complex questions.

Quality within every facet of life doesn't come from some super human ability, but by simply not cutting corners. From Steinway pianos to fine dining, simply not being lazy will put you ahead of 99% of the competition.

Going to college is a meme, but going to college is a meme is also a meme.

The best mindset shift I ever had was to start thinking of myself as a business/contractor/brand

Generally agree, but having a mindset of abundance is important, especially with all the opportunities in the current year. Most of our problems are psychological.

Everything is logarithmic, but unfortunately gains tend to come in chunks.

Good thread OP

Another thing I want to add, have the vision and the preseverance to succeed. Reading about it is one thing, working and realizing that you've made the equivalent of $5/h in your first year or were in the negative is another.
