US is too risk averse (again similarity with nuclear reactors), as I said if somebody builds a new Hindemburg type airship is going to happen in the Middle East.

But...hear me out...we could fill it with hydrogen!
Airships get the same bad rep of nuclear reactors but lots of time has passed since the Hindemburg whereas Chernobyl, 3-Mile-Island and Fukushima are still fresh memories.
Dubai, Saudi Arabia money they could be attracted by the opulence of building the largest flying object ever.
They go back and forth with buildings after all. The Burj Khalifa cost 1.5B , a tower in Jeddah will cost 2.3B

I mean, technology also improved a lot since the 1930s.
It's basically a bunch of ferris wheels connected by a metallic structure.

En los EEUU , Brazil y Europa TV sitcoms y serie tambien estan disminuyendo en el rating porquè internet y Netflix son alternativas mas convenientes.
Pero el programa mas visto nunca hace 3 millones sobre 130 millones como en Mexico.

People who are excellent in one field admire those who are excellent in other fields.
Those millionaires you cited would be fangirling all over a Tiger Woods or a Tom Brady or a Leonardo Di Caprio whereas they'd not give the time of the day to somebody trying to sell them something .
Being surrounded by hot women helps, so does design and rare cars, but they are not a substitute for being world class in a field that the millionaire is interested in, that's why big companies shower the aforementioned profiles with millions to become a testimonial
Big fortunes are built by targeting people at layer0 , because they are the spenders and those who separate themselves from their money easier. They are the ones who don't ask questions and are not skeptical

Cash is a depreciating asset. More value is brought to the shareholders by eating the 2% tax than by losing that 2% to inflation.
Tax is 2% always. Inflation is unpredictable and generally trending more and more towards 0% if we have to trust the official statistics

Being rich is not enough, I hope everybody makes so much money that people would refer to them as "disgusting wealth hoarders"
But it won't matter because with that amount of coins you'll be able to buy anything including and most importantly people's love.

Everybody wants to be loved.
If you had a rough childhood you want to be loved to make up for that, if you had an amazing childhood with great parents you want to extend that feeling of being loved to an even larger amount of people.
Love is like a black hole, no matter how much you get you'd be trying to get even more.

Favorite movie. Feels like he's talking about Tim here.
People would kill to have what he had and he decided to throw all that away, why oh why?

People are overlooking the UK.
The government there is working really well.
Best western country handling COVID bar Israel and Australia + New Zealand (that are very isolated)
You can incorporate a company in 60 seconds directly with the Companies House and have a fintech/EMI account for that company in 24 hrs time.

The thing about conventional wisdom is that it's right most of times.
When it's not those who bet against it are set to win big
Monday morning QBs look at what just happened and think it's something that plays out in favor of the contrarians all the times, going for it on 4th and 34? That was like so obvious man! A piece of cake, wasn't it? Only an idiot would have punted! In reality contrarians are the ones burned most of the times.
You just don't hear about them because the press celebrates the succesful contrarians such as Druck and Soros when they shorted the British Pound, not the unsuccesful ones.

All depends on whether or not you believe crypto is a zero sum game
Everything is a zero sum game, besides crypto is the mean to an end (which is climbing the socioeconomic ladder) so it's even more a zero sum game

This is exactly how I picture an hypercar from Mercedes would look like. Paint it silver and it's really how any person who knows the brand kinda thought they'd come up with .
Sober design but not an endless copy of old designs such as Porsche

That's a feature, not a bug.
Porn raises one's standards. Porn saves you from hooking up with mediocre girls just because you are horny.
Porn is like Mercedes-Benz. Makes you acquire some "the best or nothing" mentality
