Was surprised to know that 70 % of families lose their wealth by the second generation, 90 % by the third. I’ve worked in government, built fintechs and seen every financial product out there. Bitcoin life insurance is the most aligned tool for sustainable wealth protection.

There's this interesting inversion in how we measure success. The visible stuff - the house in Palo Alto, the vacation posts - that's usually debt dressed up as wealth. For me, the real wealth is invisible:. It's having options, sleeping well, not checking my account balance.

The single most important goal of any political party should be to radically increase the amount of housing in the {city, state, country} through any method possible to make home ownership very near a good-paying job universally available.
Peter Thiel on why 70% of Millennials say they are pro-socialist: . “When one has too much student debt or if housing is too unaffordable, then one will have negative capital for a long time… and if one has no stake in the capitalist system, then one may well turn against it.”
