 I enjoy being underestimated. 

That’s where my edge comes from. 

This is why I act like a bro 100% of the time. 

Because number one I am a bro lol 

And number two it increases the chances that someone will underestimate me. 

Always funny to me when people reevaluate the persona and are like shit hodl is actually kinda smart. 

Being misunderstood and underestimated is rocket fuel. 

Use it. 
 “you’re just lucky that you got in early, bro”

I’ll bet they don’t realize you have an entire 6.15 bitcoin  🤣🤣 
 Same thing with sigma grindset 
 💯 
 Wait, you’re actually smart? 
 I should do this.. Hmn might have to move, most ppl know I fix their shit..

 As a teacher it helps me all the time! Being the only teacher who is "wrong" about all world views makes the kids curious to a degree unimaginable! It klicks for them much faster than my colleagues  
 The way you know you're onto something is normies can't understand it - so they typically disparage your mental models.

And they almost never check the receipts later on.

lmao

Cheers to being real and not giving a fuck.
 
 Old Trump and the current Biden play it the same way. Air force one strategy.. 
 The art of harnessing the opposition's ego and weaponizing it against them 🤌🏾


If Sun Tzu didn't say that already, I am.. It's black belt level intellectual jiu-jitsu (or poker) 
 Appear weak when strong and appear strong when weak. 🎯 
 When you are underestimated success taste sweeter 😁 
 First impressions matter. Wear a hoodie and flipflops to make it count. 
I got denigrated by a couple of business men before a meeting. I just walked away.

They were dismayed to discover that I was the guest speaker at said meeting.

They could barely make eye contact with me.
 
 🍻 
 Same. And why put on a contrived persona to play the normie game. It's boring and I'm not that self important.  
 You’ve earned your rightful place in my ‘Bitcoin OG’ coffee table book. 

I’ve enjoyed following you for YEARS now. And yeah, I may have underestimated you early on. My mistake! 
 It’s ok. I cultivated that on purpose. 
 you’ve got comedic wit… which requires being smart

 Couldn’t agree more brother 🤝
