I’m going to change the world:

I’m going to change the world.

I remembered a Steve Jobs quote recently:

‘Those who believe they are crazy enough to change the world are the ones who do.’

I’m going to change the world.

Really, you? How?

Yes, me.

By becoming one of the best investors in the world doing it my way. Understanding not only the environment we’re in today, but understanding history to see where we are in market cycles. Given my background in venture capital and understanding companies and trends of the future, I’m perfectly set up to look forward.

So where are we?

The market is going to pop because of naked shorting, hedge funds and Reddit. I knew this was coming in Feb 2021 and have talked about it at length on my website (here).

But it’s more than just that. What happens to the US dollar? It’ll get crushed. What the Federal Reserve has done by continuing QE, even after the economy recovered, jobs came back and retail was booming, is dangerous.

It has boosted asset prices and increased inequality like nothing else. Rich people own the stock market. Most of the money flows have gone into that because there’s no other place for international investors to put their money.

But the US government is still backstopping the whole market through QE.

They’ve created one of the most interesting economics experiments in history. Where do we go in an environment with inflation of the global reserve currency with interest rates at 0 and trillions of dollars of stimulus as well as quantitative easing and then a market crash?

Wow.

Unclear but a few thoughts.

Depending on how the media handles this next market crash. They could choose to side with the hedge funds or retail investors.

It’s likely going to be retail investors once the story gets out about the criminality that hedge funds and market makers have been committing. Once Elizabeth Warren gets on this, she’ll expose what’s happening.

But it depends on the narrative and who’s in control of the story.

Now with the Internet, retail has control. The world will see soon enough what hedge funds and market makers have been doing. Rich people are going to be pissed because they’re going to lose a lot of money. But millions of people around the world are going to have their lives changed forever.

Because of the Internet.

There are a lot of other ideas I have as well. Here’s my playbook.

First build a media company. Build my own brand. Uphold my own reputation. Bet on yourself. Talk about your strategies in public. Hold yourself accountable. Prove it.

It’s great to talk about these things but you have to put in the work. You have to put in the time every day to be great. You have to work harder than anyone else at this stuff because it’s no joke.

The reason why I want to do all of this?

It’s fun.

Why not?

What’s stopping me from competing with the best people in the world on investing?

Nothing.

All I need is capital to start pushing my ideas.

I’ve been reading, listening and studying the greats.

I have a watch list of 40 stocks.

I have a list of 20 commodities.

I have a list of 10 crypto tokens, but that whole market is in flux right now.

So I can’t start really seeing if I’m right until I have enough capital.

Invest your money properly, don’t look at it, and let it grow.

Wealth comes in the waiting.

In being patient.

In letting your ideas play out over long periods of time.

Waiting and not doing anything.

Reviewing every so often, understanding what’s happening, and that’s it.

But with that you also get freedom to spend life how you want.

If I can get paid to write, speak and podcast, I don’t have to have a normal job and can use the time to just read and better myself.

I can use it to decide the kinds of risks I want to take and spend my time challenging myself.

If I’m able to get out of the normal 9-5, I definitely want to spend more time exploring the world. Getting to know myself. Doing crazy things.

Who’s stopping you?

As long as your income can be made from wherever you are, and you can set up everything so that you’re not needed for decent periods of time, that’s great.

It’s almost like a yearly summer break.

Do the work for 9 months of the year. Reading reports, following the news, reading books, writing, doing podcasts, doing interviews, etc.

Then 3 months of the year shut off.

Don’t do anything.

Sit and wait.

Enjoy time doing whatever.

No one is going to remember you in the future for being a good writer today.

Congratulations, you called a market crash.

Sure the world will look at you differently, but it doesn’t change anything.

If you want to be great in 10 years, you have to do the work every day.

I’m ready.

I’m ready to change the world.
