Minimalist Everything
Who’s paying over $2,000 for a Bloomberg terminal or some other data service? I’ve minimized everything. You see those screenshots of charts—that’s the most I look at. All of my analytics are my own, and they don’t even really need those charts.
When the FOMC announcement or economic data came out, I was less interested in the data points and more focused on the market implications to identify opportunities for ‘buying low’ or spotting psyche-outs.
I don’t even use a desktop or laptop these days, and you can see the extent of permissionless scaling—real merit.
It truly is incredible.
There are so many interesting things to do for growth. Random prosing in the city and chats with people in different industries (market intelligence) and the joy of be non typical and observing human nature or free market demand relative to supply.
I really like the nuance of it all.
Now there may be some correlation between looks and skills - 360 ; but conditional on having had some success in spite of not looking the part is potent, even crucial, information.
