Just some random life thoughts here: In my experience, I find most smart crypto people to be incredibly lazy (sounds bad, but it isn't, let me explain): In crypto (and tbh in life) my default setting is: “What is the absolute minimum I need to do to get the maximum possible upside?” -I have zero meetings in my calendar, and I believe that I’ve fully internalised that this is a fat‑tail game. One or two properly timed, properly sized decisions will dwarf a lifetime of mid‑effort grinding. So most of the time I’m not “doing” much in the visible sense. I sit, I think, I scroll Twitter, chat with some people, read TG, I let things play out. Then when something actually lines up, it could be a narrative, I try to size it and move (pinned tweet for the coins I think move the most this cycle: https://x.com/Route2FI/status/2041439080064422363 ). IMO that’s way more rational than being constantly busy just to feel productive. Trust me, I've worked hard in corporate, and most of the stuff is just BS. -Same with information. There’s infinite noise, and my attention is a hard bottleneck, so trying to “keep up with everything” is just irrational. The time to lock in is now, which is why I ignore most DMs, most narratives, most “alpha,” most charts. I let a ridiculous amount of potential stuff die unread. That’s not because I don’t care; it’s because I’d rather miss small wins than be mentally drained when a real outlier shows up. IMO, I’m “lazy” in the sense that I refuse to waste energy on low‑impact actions, but under the hood the logic is simple: minimise actions, maximise asymmetry. Oh, and one more thing. Based on something I wrote a while ago, I got a DM asking why I don't use alarms to get up early and seize the day (and why I think this is massively EV+). Several reasons for that, but one of the most important is that using an alarm will spike your cortisol so heavily and make you age faster in terms of skin health. Plus, I just hate getting shaken out of dreams and waking up feeling tired AF. Waking up naturally must be healthier IMO, even though I don't have any crazy science to back this up. All the important stuff I have to do always gets done, and I guess this way of life works for me. Maybe I am just lazy and stubborn, though.(Route 2 FI)
