“China is never going to be a global model. Western system is really broken in some fundamental ways, but the Chinese system is not going to work either. It is a deeply unfair and immoral system where everything can be taken away from anyone in a split second.” — Francis Fukuyama
The most powerful force that made America prosper is wealth creation.
In the US, this has been a rule via home-equity and ownership, under affordable capital, effectively giving leverage to any average family in America at some point in their lives.
Everyone blessed enough to live in the US will own a home at some point...
Not anymore.
The old way was simple:
After most parents in the US perish, they would leave at a minimum a home worth ~500K to its children, effectively bringing total prosperity to the next generation.
After February 28th (D-Day for the Russian invasion), globalism has lost.
Instead of the US dollar, we now have a trifecta of capital forces.
The libertarian in me still needs to use “USD/Woke Capital” to live life, but most of my future is stored in startup investing, alternative financing and crypto.
We are (unfortunately) just getting started.
I am immensely grateful to be on the side of history well-positioned for economic, spiritual, and intellectual prosperity.
Unfortunately, with inflation at this level, we will see more misery, hunger, and poverty in the years to come.
Bitcoin solves that. Venture Capital solves that, but it will take time as things collapse faster than our ability to build new systems.
More than ever, it is time to partner with inevitable people.
As success comes in your life, it is easy to be trapped by your circumstances and become slaved into a reality that you must do more.
For the last 24 months, Facebook has been working hard at integrating everything. Gotta love network effects. That is the type of company one should build.
Anger or any dissatisfaction with others is your ego screaming from the inside, wanting you to feel relevant and superior.
