I no longer care about the financial system. I gave them my roadmap. OK? Thanks, bye. I've no idea what's going on. I'm disconnected. I'm totally disengaged.

They will envy you for your success, your wealth, for your intelligence, for your looks, for your status - but rarely for your wisdom.

If you have more than one reason to do something (choose a doctor or veterinarian, hire a gardener or an employee, marry a person, go on a trip), just don’t do it. It does not mean that one reason is better than two, just that by invoking more than one reason you are trying to convince yourself to do something. Obvious decisions (robust to error) require no more than a single reason.

Probability is not about the odds, but about the belief in the existence of an alternative outcome, cause, or motive.

I've debated many economists who claim to specialize in risk and probability: when one takes them slightly outside their narrow focus, but within the discipline of probability, they fall apart, with the disconsolate face of a gym rat in front of a gangster hit man.

History doesn't crawl; it leaps.

Bitcoin is the beginning of something great: a currency without a government, something necessary and imperative.
