The Daily Loop #146
3 quotes, 2 short form tweets, 1 long form read and 1 piece of advice from me. Consume 2 minutes of information to help you advance your knowledge in different fields.
The Daily Loop newsletter focuses on information that can be consumed in 2 minutes every day by linking to posts across the internet, formatted in a way that is easy for anyone to navigate. In a 3-2-1-1 design (quotes, short-form content, long-form content and advice).
The goal is for as many people to read this daily and inspire them to think differently about certain things. It will primarily be around topics and industries I am interested in such as: startups, ai, success, innovation, change, crypto, nfts, etc.

1 piece of advice from me
Most of you will make more money than others simply because you held your ETH in a bear/crab market while others spent trying to make more. Be more bullish on ETH and stingy with your spending.
