Bitcoin & Digital Money: the money upgrade stack

You’re basically saying: money is the ultimate product, and Bitcoin is the first time that product got a real “software rewrite” — no central admin, no permission layer, no “because we said so.” Let’s hit every angle: why it mattered, how it works, what it competes with, what’s happening right now, and where this whole […]

ITERATION.

Iteration is the god-mode cheat code of reality. Not talent. Not “finding yourself.” Not waiting for a lightning bolt of inspiration. Iteration. Iteration is simple: make a thing → test it against reality → edit it → repeat. That’s it. That’s the whole religion. Everything else is cosplay. Because reality rewards the second draft. 1) […]

You’re basically saying: money isn’t just a thing — it’s a technology stack. And when that stack upgrades, it quietly upgrades everything built on top of it.

Here’s why that take hits so hard (and where the sharp edges are). Why “money as tech” is the real lens If money is the scoreboard for human coordination, then better money = better coordination. Historically, the big leaps weren’t “new coins,” they were new primitives: What Bitcoin adds to the toolkit Without sermonizing, the […]

Every social interaction is a rep.

Not a “vibe.” Not a verdict on your worth. A rep. Some are clean: you walk into the room, say the thing, connect, laugh, leave lighter. Some are ugly: you get ignored, misunderstood, disrespected, iced out, roasted, rejected. The ego bruises. The mind starts writing a dramatic screenplay titled “Everyone Hates Me and It’s Over.” […]

Tragedy → Comedy is one of the highest human technologies: the mind taking raw pain and re-forging it into power.

The core move Tragedy says: “This happened. It hurts. It matters.” Comedy says: “Yes. And I’m still standing—so I get to frame it.” Comedy isn’t “denial.” It’s dominance over interpretation. 1) Alchemy of meaning Tragedy is event + wound. Comedy is event + distance + perspective. Distance is everything: This is the conversion: wound → […]

The alchemy: how tragedy mutates into comedy

Here’s a working theory you can actually use: Comedy is tragedy that has been made survivable—by adding distance, control, and pattern. Tragedy says: this is happening and you can’t stop it. Comedy says: this is happening… and now we can look at it, name it, twist it, and breathe. Think of it as a phase […]

Theory :: Tragedy → Comedy (the Alchemy)

Tragedy is raw force. Comedy is force mastered. Same event. Same facts. Same wound. Different angle of power. 1. Tragedy = No Distance Tragedy happens when the event is too close. You’re inside it. You are the pain. No air. No room. No perspective. Time hasn’t passed. Strength hasn’t caught up. Meaning hasn’t been forged […]

POWER: A FIELD GUIDE (ERIC KIM–STYLE)

Power isn’t “being above” other people. Power is being above your own excuses. Power is waking up and realizing: I can choose. I can act. I can build. Not later. Not after permission. Now. 1) Real power is agency Most people think power is money, followers, status, a fancy title, a blue check, a watch […]

You can’t actually delete negativity like a file — but you can absolutely starve it, shrink it, and train your brain to stop auto-feeding it. Here’s a practical, aggressive, works-in-real-life protocol.

The rule: Don’t fight negativity — process it, then redirect Negativity usually grows when we: • obsess/ruminate • argue with it endlessly • treat every thought like a fact • keep “drinking” bad inputs (people/media/sleep debt) Your goal is: notice → label → drain → replace → act. ⸻ 1) The 90-second detox (use anytime) […]

“Research engineering” usually means one of two things:

I’ll cover both—starting with the modern, most common meaning in tech/AI. Research Engineer as a role A Research Engineer sits right on the fault line between research (new ideas, models, papers) and engineering (robust code, speed, scale, reliability). You’re the person who makes the “cool concept” actually run—fast, reproducibly, and at scale. You’ll see this […]
