My cousin asked me which books to read if he wants to get rich. No fluff, no guru b.s.
• How to Get Rich (Felix Dennis)
• The Millionaire Fastlane (MJ Demarco)
• The Almanack of Naval
• Ready, Fire, Aim (Michael Masterson)
I'm spending a lot of my free time building out A.I. workflows using @getlindy. A lot of platforms out there but they're the easiest for me to use as a non-coder. I'm a newb but already seeing massive benefits.
Wrapping up my Q3 planning. Something that helps me is divide my life into different buckets:
• Work
• Mind
• Relationships
• Health
• Finances
• Fun
I give myself a score, reflect on each area, and set goals / habits.
I don't aim for balance. Instead, life works more as seasons. One year might be focused more on relationships, while another year is more work / financial. Most important thing is making sure I'm not scoring too low in any areas.
Be patient
Build cashflow
Trade altcoins when there's liquidity in the markets
Be biased towards new protocols and primitives
Take profits into Bitcoin and hard assets
Play the long-game. Think long-term
I'm guessing it's a combination of:
1. Burnout
2. Algorithm has changed - ppl have to work harder for less eyeballs
3. Other opportunities open up
4. Crypto isn't as fun as it used to be
It's hard to keep the energy up after several years.

You see this happen across all mediums. OG YouTubers dominate for a few years, then a new generation takes over. And it repeats.
But you just hope the OGs are in a better place, rather than broke and no longer relevant
Another idea is some ppl work like lions.
Lions sleep most of the day, and hunt when there's opportunity. So when markets are choppy and slow, they're out living life.
When market's are hot, then they become more active again.
There's a reason why football teams aren't built with 100% strikers. You need a blend of offense and defense.
Cash is for defense. Stocks / real estate give stability. Some guys make it 100% Crypto only, but that's survivorship bias.

If you want to win long-term, trade altcoins. Then take profits (if any) into Bitcoin or hard assets (index funds, real estate).
It's not real profits until it's off the chain and serving you IRL.
Bitcoin’s stuck in chop mode and summer’s already looking like a snoozefest.
But just because the market’s boring doesn’t mean there isn't money to be made.

An important lesson I learned from sports:
It's not the BEST who win in the long run - it's the BEST remaining out of those who SURVIVE.
You can't win if you retire early because of injuries.

A huge value add of ChatGPT is that it saves me from decision fatigue. I'm an "optimizer" so I could legit spend 25 mins finding a restaurant to eat. Instead, I give a few parameters to ChatGPT and it makes the decision for me.
DeFi’s growing.
AI agents are trading, routing capital & even rebalancing indexes on-chain.
Every trade you make on-chain is basically broadcasted live. Bots pick it apart, insiders jump ahead and suddenly you’re paying more than you should.

When I got into crypto, I imagined a future where I could pay for coffee in Paris, tip in Tokyo, and move funds across borders instantly.
Reality? I’m still waiting three business days and paying hidden fees like it’s 2005.

“Where’s retail?”
Connected with some friends recently who used to be in Crypto but left the scene.
Most got cooked from Luna / FTX crashing. No disposable income to invest due to increased cost of living. Finally, they rather invest in BTC than altcoins because it’s safer.
A money lesson I had to UNLEARN:
When I was growing up, my parents always preached the value of saving money.
We rarely ate out.
I could only buy clothes for school if it was on sale.
They lived and breathed, "a penny saved is a penny earned"
I applied this mentality to the…
What's worth spending money on:
• Anything health related
• New experiences
• Spending on your parents
• Paying for meals with friends
• Investing in knowledge
Most DeFi lending relies on standard yield-bearing tokens.
But that misses a huge chunk of the market non-tokenized yields locked in staking contracts, LP positions and specialized vaults.
