One of my biggest takeaways from the First Annual iBankCoin Investor Conference was the talk from Howard Lindzon. It stuck with me how he demonstrated our ability to live in the future. The cliff note version is you stay current with industrial and social trends via interacting with the right people.
Like seeing the S.A.M. shift into hyper speed and pick apart the oil tanker contango trade real-time.
When you live in the future you earn the privileges, like beating the rush. Other things start to happen. Perhaps you acquire your average peer’s quarterly salary in two days and opt into a gym trip at 1pm—before the New Year New You crowd flood and taints the facility, you know what I mean? Privileges.
Because people doing lunge laps around the god damned bench presses while you’re working on a ridiculous pump is too much nonsense.
Living in the future costs money. Why do you think The Rhino accepts $1.6 million as the going rate for a two bedroom, one parking spot apartment in San Francisco?
These angel investors don’t only wield powerful checkbooks. They also shift perceptions and drive change. For example, Peter Thiel just announced 75 million reasons to take a serious look at the cannabis industry [via Wired, click here]. This is not like mining 10,000 Bitcoin when they were worth 0.005 cents each, but more like converting a million US dollars-to-bitcoin at $100, before the Chinese. Or the Russians.
You’re still ahead of the curve if you devote resources to cannabis today. As a trader you can wrap some risk around GWPH. As an entrepreneur maybe you try to out-brand this Bob Marley line of weed Thiel invested in. Seriously, nobody thinks Jamaican weed is better than the disturbing genetics produced by master indoor growers.
Look, you all have the tools to live in the future. My most indispensible are The PPT and 12631. Next is Twitter. Believe it or not, phone calls still work pretty well too.
I am piped into the future from the cold depths of Detroit. Just imagine if you or I lived in New York…London? Find a way to put yourself closer to the action today.
