Living Wisely in the Digital Age

“Diets don’t work tomorrow. But every diet works.
Habits don’t change in a day. But 1% a day makes every habit work. Every.
The reason is: they work if you do a little each day. If you relax and give yourself permission to only improve a little each day, then a good habit works.
It’s permission to improve. It’s also permission to fail. Because when you first start something, you’re on day one.
If you want to succeed at anything, you have to give yourself permission to fail twice as much as you thought you would.”
“Improve a little each day. It compounds. When 1% compounds every day, it doubles every 72 days, not every 100 days. Compounding tiny excellence is what creates big excellence.
You can’t be a master in one day. You have to improve a little every day.
Picasso created 2 works of art a day. That’s 50,000 in a lifetime. It adds up.”
“Actions are outside of the head or body. Take 1% action per day. …”
“…It doesn’t happen in one day. There are no goals. There’s only practice. Practice never makes perfect. Practice makes happy. Practice makes habits.”

“The Bitcoin protocol follows a declining block reward schedule, whereby the number of bitcoins awarded for confirmed blocks halves every 210,000 blocks. The halving of the block reward is a significant negative shock to miners’ revenue, similar to a large discrete price decrease.”

“The first waves of investments in the Bitcoin ecosystem have focused on mining, retail payments, merchant/transaction acquisition, store of value, mobile wallets, exchanges. None of these have wide application with the public at large or financial institutions nor do I see wide application in the future based on current technology limitations or current regulatory constraints. I also do not believe in wide applicability across many work flows and processes in financial services and with incumbents to be more precise. Further, tacking onto a unique Blockchain many different use cases, many different apps may end up weakening said blockchain for that matter”

“Revival of a once celebrated name is a harder sell than rediscovery of an unknown one.”

Sebastião Salgado’s Advice For Young Photographers Today
“If you’re young and have the time, go and study. Study anthropology, sociology, economy, geopolitics. Study so that you’re actually able to understand what you’re photographing. What you can photograph and what you should photograph.”
— Answer to 24 year old Haoyang Zhao
