Wisdom

1/ Never Ring the Bell: In SEAL training there is a brass bell that hangs in the compound. To quit SEAL training, all you have to do is ring the bell. If you ring the bell, you no longer have to wake up at 5AM or go swimming in freezing cold waters. If you want to change the world, don’t ever quit and ring the bell – Admiral McRaven

2/ Don’t be afraid to join the circus: In SEAL training, the students that failed to pass an evolution were forced to do extra exercises with other students (thus joining the circus). However, the students in the circus ended up becoming stronger and more disciplined because of the extra hours of exercises – Admiral McRaven

13/ Bitcoin Is Infrastructure: A recent infrastructure bill saw the addition of crypto regulations with the stated aim of collecting an additional $28Bn of tax revenues. The bill treats anyone who uses crypto as a broker and requires reporting any crypto transactional activity to the IRS. “This is a big banks protection act in my view” – Congressman Warren Davidson

14/ Bankers Are Coming For Crypto: America has lead with the industrial revolution, automobile, aviation and aerospace, and the Internet. This bill means abandoning the fintech revolution. “That shows how far gone the thinking and logic is here in the capital on a lot of policies”. Call your Senators and Congress member, let them know how bad this language would be for you, your district and state, and America’s innovation – Congressman Warren Davidson
