Recent analogy that I used in a Web3 discussion: web3 allows people to control their own data and digital assets in the same way that you "buy" digital movies from the 🍎tv store.

They're yours right up until they disappear from your "library".

Just have random restaurants from Yelp and TripAdvisor. Randomise the results for four stars and above, the display says: "It looks lovely here but you can't go."🙂

I don't think I need to be that mean to myself 😅

My wife and I paid off our $500k mortgage in 2 years by doing the following:
- Worked 9-5, saved aggressively
- Cut our avocado toast and boozy brunches
- Sold a startup for $10m in cash

It’s that simple

There’s a 4K, 8 hour video where they mounted a RED camera to the front of a train in Scandinavia somewhere. Put that on a loop in vlc.

there's something delightfully rebellious about taking footage from a RED camera and squishing it down to a monochrome 264x176 0.2fps video
