Top Takeaways Of The Week

Wealth

It's Not All Crypto: 
The biggest stores of value in the world are factories, stocks, houses, real estate, and other productive assets, not Bitcoin or gold. Dozens of coins representing thousands to millions of assets to store value, “That’s true decentralization” - Vitalik Buterin

The 2 Key Limits of ETH: Latency; Users currently have to wait an average of 30 seconds to confirm transactions on the blockchain, this will improve with time. Privacy; The blockchain by itself is fully transparent. However, cryptographic technologies like Zero-Knowledge Proofs can increase privacy, and privacy coins like Zcash already use it - Vitalik Buterin

What Exactly is Sharding? Sharding is a decentralization middle ground, the system randomly chooses 1% (or even less) of the nodes to validate a transaction. It increases efficiency and keeps validation distributed. - Vitalik Buterin

The Reason to Buy Real Estate Is the Same As Bitcoin: Why David Greene is buying as much nice real estate as he can right now: “I believe the dollar is losing value because the government keeps printing more of it” â€“ David Greene
How Elon Wants to Fix Twitter: 
  • Free speech on Twitter should only abide by the law
  • We should be reluctant to delete tweets, “If in doubt, let the speech exist”
  • Timeouts are better than permanent bans
  • The Twitter algorithm should be open source and available online for people to freely inspect and highlight issues and suggest changes
    • Additionally, it should always be clear if Twitter took an action on a tweet (e.g. promoted or demoted)
“A sign of free speech is that someone you don’t like is allowed to say something you don’t like” – Elon Musk

How To Procrastinate Less: Brain dump to declutter your mind and thoughts; Identify your priorities and deadlines (use an electronic calendar). Think about what organizing systems make sense to your brain (efficacy, not perfection). Break projects into smaller chunks. Pomodoro Technique (set a start and a stop time) - Dr. Sharon Saline

Health


Six Pillars of Hormone Health: (1) diet (specifically caloric restriction); (2) exercise (specifically resistance training); (3) stress & stress optimization; (4) sleep optimization; (5) sunlight; (6) spirit – dial in the body, mind, and soul connection - Dr. Andrew Huberman

Low T, Drop the J: High alcohol intake and smoking marijuana will ultimately decrease testosterone  - Dr. Andrew Huberman

Intermittent Fasting & Effects on Hormones: More significant spike in growth hormone and IGF-1 levels which will help in older age groups than younger – the longer you fast, the bigger the spike - Dr. Andrew Huberman

Not Everyone Is Willing to Go To the Gym at 5am: But most people don't make friend with Tim Cook. - Sahil Bloom

Colder, Smarter, More Productive: Deliberate cold exposure improves mental performance (resilience, grittiness, the ability to move through challenges). It can be used to cause increases in catecholamines (including dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline) in ways that can improve your levels of attention and your mood - Dr. Andrew Huberman

Cold Stress Protocol: (11-15 minutes per week) Monday – 1 minute of cold exposure; Wednesday – extending by 50%; Friday – twice as long as on Monday; Continue this every week and either increase the duration or lower the temperate and reduce the duration - Dr. Andrew Huberman

Wisdom

Value the Learning More Than the Earning: Get a great mentor in your 20s and learn as much as possible, the earnings will eventually come â€“ David Greene

Who Are Your Darkest Hour Friends? They are not around just for the celebration, these are the type of friends who stick with you during the hard times. You never forget those people, they were they for you during the hardest times. When you find them, cherish those relationships, they are truly rare Sahil Bloom

No Bad Ideas In Music: There are no rules to music, every idea deserves its own opportunity for trial and error. New ideas often sound bad until they are attempted. The ideas that breakthrough rarely breakthrough in the predicted way. So give your ideas a chance! You never know how it will turn out.- Rick Rubin

Make Are For You and You Alone: â€œYou can’t make art with someone else in mind, I don’t believe it can be good” â€“ Rick Rubin

2 Dead Simple Ways To Be Better At Life: The ability to accept compliments is underrated. Just say “thank you”. â€œI appreciate YOU” - Deep level of appreciation, connection, different from “I appreciate IT” - Sahil Bloom

“Without music, life would be a mistake”. â€œAnd those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who can not hear the music” â€“ Lex Fridman quoting Friedrich Nietzsche
