How much I'm paying for AI productivity software (and the future of AI use)

How has your experience been with jointakeoff.com? Do you think it's worth it? If you are not a member, you can't check their courses to evaluate the quality, so I am hesitating.

Not really, because I spend some dedicated time to Ankify important stuff from the materials I have read throughout the day (or days) and this process involves a quick review and put them together.

Well said. "it's in any case quite useful to set effective priorities." this is exactly where I have been struggling.

Yes, I read through your annotated edition in detail as well and benefited a lot from it. It contains many additional resources that are extremely helpful. Thanks for creating it.

My Bitcoin Thesis @2022 - Part 1
aysajan3y10

The main argument here is that at its current state, you have to invest not-so-small capital in order to be part of the bitcoin production system. If no one puts capital, no bitcoin will be created. In this regard, bitcoin is different from all other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (Yes, Ethereum also uses POW but there new blocks can be created much faster with less capital intensity). This has nothing to do with 21 million cap or scarcity.

A Short Note on My Value Notion

"what would really be useful is the valuation of a cryptocurrency relative to fields outside of it." Yes, this is something I want to explore more as part of the value of cryptocurrency in general. I am also aware of these types of projects, at least in the mission statement. But I really don't know if that is really something they want to do, or it is purely for the sake of attracting more investors.

I feel like the question of "what is the value of a cryptocurrency" should be different from "what is the value of cryptocurrency in general?". and I suspect that the answer will extend to beyond cryptocurrency.

For me, it is the latter question that I am interested in. I agree that if the question is about price, it is relatively straightforward. But I do believe that price is an important component of the valuation and the article you shared seems a good start for this angle. Thank you for sharing it.
