I'm extremely bullish on ethereum and believe it will become a major world asset. On top of being a store of value, ether is the fuel for the world's new programmable financial system, digital assets, and governance. I'm convinced that ethereum will hit $1-2 trillion in market cap (currently at $335b) within the next couple … Continue reading Why I’m So Bullish Ethereum

Why the Ethereum Merge is Bullish
Later this year ethereum will deprecate PoW (Proof of Work) and upgrade to PoS (Proof of Stake), dubbed "the merge". This upgrade will be enormously bullish for ethereum for the following reasons: Ethereum staking yield will jump from 4.8% to 10-15%. This is because unburnt fee revenue will start going to stakers instead of miners. … Continue reading Why the Ethereum Merge is Bullish
The Importance of Living Honestly
I've noticed that I'm happier when living honestly, and am more likely to feel anxious, guilty, and depressed when not. Living honestly means being honest with yourself and others, such as: Doing what you want to do, not what you think other people want you to do. Maybe you have some weird hobby that's embarrassing. … Continue reading The Importance of Living Honestly
How NFTs Will Change the World
NFTs have a lot of hype and are a very polarizing topic. In this article I will explain why NFTs will change the world. Note: I have never purchased any NFTs, so I am not shilling any bags.

Be the Rational Conscious Director Rather than a Slave to your Impulses
Consciousness is the control one has over their life beyond the primal monkey brain of being a slave to one's impulses. Being a slave to one's impulses can feel good in the moment, similar to an empty dopamine high, but ultimately results in the dissatisfaction of realizing one has actually moved further away from their … Continue reading Be the Rational Conscious Director Rather than a Slave to your Impulses
Why Seoul is the Best Modern City
Seoul, South Korea is the most impressive and livable modern large city I've seen, especially when accounting for the value of one's money - with prices a fraction of that of Tokyo and Singapore which are comparably impressive. Seoul is modern, clean, pedestrian-friendly, and innovative. I think that every city planner should be required to … Continue reading Why Seoul is the Best Modern City
My (Miserable) Experience in South Korea’s Mandatory 7 Day Quarantine
I recently underwent the mandatory 7-day quarantine that South Korea imposes on all foreign travelers in addition to the negative PCR test required to fly into the country. Foreigners are assigned to a room in a hotel-turned-quarantine-facility upon arrival, and aren't allowed to leave their rooms during the entire duration of their quarantine. Meals are … Continue reading My (Miserable) Experience in South Korea’s Mandatory 7 Day Quarantine
Remote Work Tip – Don’t Work From Home
As someone who's been working remotely for 3.5 years, the best tip I can offer to someone working remotely is to not work from home. I've noticed that I am significantly happier and more productive when leaving my apartment to work elsewhere. Personally I'm a huge fan of working out of coffee shops, though admittedly … Continue reading Remote Work Tip – Don’t Work From Home
Why Switzerland has the Best Government System in the World
I believe that Switzerland has the best government system in the world. It is definitely not perfect (it's no liquid democracy), but light years better than every other country's government I've seen. On top of that, the economy is very strong with some of the highest wages in the world. And despite having very low … Continue reading Why Switzerland has the Best Government System in the World
