I raised $27.5M for medical search: SENS.org RichardHeart.com | https://HEX.com/techspecs (~100B marketcap on nomics.com) (I'm also forking Ethereum at t.me/PulseChainCom No energy waste, no inflation, full fork with system state and ERC20s)

Things that make some people really angry: I own the world's largest faceted diamond. 555.55 carats. I have $7.5M of watches. I dress like a clown.

I call it outrage marketing. I twerk, talk about my pp and spent about $20M on luxury stuff just for flex value. I bought the world's largest diamond, $10M of watches and $3M of cars. People hate it and keep watching. I wish that people cared at all about the $27M I raised for charity. They do not.

Someone should invent a value transfer technology that routes around middlemen. Censorship resistant, so to speak.

Go to gym. Do an activity with other people. Be kind. Lot's of other people would die to have your attention. Symbiosis.

The Great Finance/Startup/Stock/Housing/Everything Grift May Be Unwinding. They will bottom, then all wind up again. The same structure will generate the same outputs again and again.

Yes, I am. I called the top on roughly the day over a year ago. You'll be mad about this part though. It will find a bottom. I will buy that bottom. And it will make new all time highs. Then a few years after, you can post your anger / relief thread cycle again. It keeps oscillating higher and higher. There's some real innovation hidden in the mess, and it still truly is the best performing asset class that has ever existed in history. BTW, everything is crashing, so hopefully you don't own any of those things, or someone else's post about being happy the things you owned crashing might seem crass to you right? lol.

Well, I hate to break it to you buddy, but gold is a horrible asset. Gold is cheaper nowt than 10 years ago. Yes the trash, USD has beaten it. Yes, I know, I have $9,000,000 of wrist watches made of it. But they appreciate because of their non commodity value. Now compare to tech stocks bought 10 years ago on average. P.S. I called the Bitcoin top roughly on the day, in 2017 and in this cycle. Happy to provide the proof if you doubt it.

I publicly called the Bitcoin top over a year ago. It Fell 56% over 70 days to $28600.It then bounced, made a fake out break out to 69k (6% higher high) and dumped 56% to $30,331. Grayscale "Bitcoin" can be bought at a 25% discount still, and as long as that discount exists, there's no chance of a Bitcoin bull run. Macro situation: Interest rates up, markets, houses and luxury goods down, crypto totally correlated with stocks. Caveat: I'm a founder in the space.

Whenever the pro death guys show up, and they always do: Summary of pro death arguments:

  Fairness
      Only rich people will get it. (No tech has ever done this.)
      Better to give money to the poor than science. (family, city, state, nation, has proven local investment beats foreign.)
  Bad for society
      Dead people make more room for new, other people. (consider going first.)
      Run out of resources (live people discover/extract/renew better than dead or nonexistent)
      Overpopulation (colonize the seas, solar system, or have a war.)
            Stop having kids
            Worse wars (nukes are more dangerous than having your first 220 year old person in 2136)
      Dictators never die (they die all the time and rarely of age)
      Old people are expensive (50% of your lifetime medical cost occur in your final year. Delay is profitable.) 
      Old people suck.  (death is an inferior cure to robustness.)
  Bad for individual
      You'll get bored. (your memory isn't that good, or your boredom isn't age related)
      You'll have to watch your loved ones die. (so you prefer they watch you?)
      You'll live forever in a terrible state. (longevity requires robustness.)
      Against gods will (not if he disallows suicide, then it is required.)
      People will force you to live forever (they aren't able to do this now, why would they begin to be?)
Do you think less people make progress faster? What's your target level of depriving life of existence? How do you plan to keep mankind robust from extinction events on a single planet? You might just need more people. What do you think our technology would look like if we had 10x less people for the last 100 years? More people make more progress faster. Aren’t you glad your parents didn't decide the world would be prettier or work better without you in it? If great minds like Einstein, Bell, Tesla, Da Vinci etc., were still alive and productive today, the world would be a better place. You're literally asking for others to die out of your fear. The burden should be higher. Have courage. If living longer comes with too many disadvantages, we'll know 100 years from now and decide then.

Man up, save your family, save yourself.

P.S. Curing aging isn't immortality. You die at 600 on average by accident, and if the parade of imaginary horrible things comes true, even earlier.

P.P.S. I personally raised $27M for longevity research (SENS.org).

My daily would be the ROLEX rose gold SARU full diamond bracelet and dial. Like collecting keyboards, once you find your end game, you really don't want to go back to anything else much. So thought I've got 26 watches or so, I really only want to wear the best of them usually. I veer from that if I'm wearing a unique color clothes, like leopard print or green, then I might switch to one of those watches. So the answer I guess is mostly storage. I embrace the idea that owning things should be fun, so wearing them is totally in the game. That being said, I don't actually use them to tell time, so I don't bother winding them anymore, they're just jewelry to me, and sometimes I'll wear one on each arm. This makes watch enthusiasts very angry. I strip away the complexity and show that it's really all just flexing, and our phones all do a better job telling time :)

I've got $8M of watches. Their utility to me is just to brag about them. Which is funny, because I'm only met with downvotes whenever I do :). But therein lies the rub. At a distance, people hate, but up close, they love. It's a perceived distance to cooperation. There's ingroup profit in hate at a distance. But when you can join a better in group, or add a new asset to the one you're in, it turns to love. Thus, I consider collectibles of all forms, a combination of social value plus a dash of scarcity mindset. Also, I believe the top is in, and watch values will go down along side equities with rising interest rates.

Mr. Graham writes an essay supporting free speech. Thus the comments here, ironically, attack his speech, with tons of words found no where in his essay at all. The comments here literally prove the spirit of his essay.
