Can’t wait to see the final visual effects! Bullish! 🫡

Startups don't die from running out of cash.
They die the exact moment the founders stop believing they're going to win.
200x DPI btw, you had to be at the right place at the right time and have the right friends
Lance Armstrong says doping cost him $111 million. A $100,000 check he wrote without knowing where it would end up saved his family.
He didn't pick Uber. He picked a friend.
In 2012 he lost his seven Tour de France titles. In 2013 he confessed on Oprah. Then the sponsors, the insurers and the US government came for the money.
In the video below, in 2018, he adds it up on camera: "Loss of guaranteed income, legal fees and settlements, it came to 111 million bucks." The government alone had sued him for $100 million. He settled for $5 million.
Then the other side of the ledger. Around 2009 an old friend, Chris Sacca, started a venture fund called Lowercase Capital and asked him to invest. He put in $100,000. "I didn't even know that he did Uber." The fund's biggest bet went in at a $3.7 million valuation.
What's the $100,000 worth now? "$10, $20, $30, $40, $50 million? It's one of those. It's a lot. It's saved our family."
Five months after that interview, Uber went public.
My take: the best trade of his life wasn't a race or a sponsor deal. It was a check he barely thought about, to someone he trusted, in a company he'd never heard of. Most people's best investment looks just as boring when they make it.
Did Armstrong earn his second fortune, or does luck like that make the first one too easy to forget?
Fortunately not true in my experience! GLP-1 has helped me curb "food noise" and still love life, lift weights every week and my appetite for life is still intact 😊
Huge culture war going on in game dev land. Ultimately, making fun games for cheaper will win out. The big question is the platform and business model disruption that happens with the shift (will Web finally beat the Steam distribution hold?)

Replying to @elonmusk @nicholasadeleon
okay one thing I can say with confidence is truly nobody thought the guy who owned the 140 character company would also be the guy that built the flying cars
