## @lazyvillager1 (The Giver (Plumber)) · 09-14 07:55 · ♥20 ↻1 💬3 the first few watches of TBS are very cosmetically pleasing: burry is the big man with the big gun (counter bet)
as someone who typically finds myself against the grain or betting on reversals, i love the TBS story much less today. what i see now is someone who almost-fatally under estimated his counter-parties for a thesis that effectively relied on the ppl holding dogshit to be a clean oracle on telling the public (knowing their stock will crash as a result) that they are holding dogshit. there is skill in timing
in crypto terms it is the equivalent of holding an expensive exploit default swap on Binance (if it were a product), where you are also reliant on Binance to admit an exploit is taking place when it is
the thought, while brilliant, was naively executed. it’s a bit sad bc the idea itself is so romantic. it’s also sad because i resonate with having poor execution myself lmao > 引用 @zeroxkyle: Want to talk about this part of the Big Short where Burry closed down his fund:
"Making money is not like I thought it would be. This business kills the part of life that is essential. The part that has nothing to do with business. For the past two years, my insides have felt like they’re eating themselves. All the people I respected won’t talk to me anymore except through lawyers. People want an authority to tell them how to value things, but they choose this authority not based on facts or results. They choose it because it seems authoritative and familiar. "
As we enter into late stage capitalism it is more important than ever to always remember that money and living life are completely at odds with each other - that the parts of life worth living - being happy, sharing things with your friends, living life, are all, really the anti-thesis of what capitalism, money, and greed all stand for
Personally the most important thing to do, is to balance it. Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu is a good read on the Middle Way, and all of life can be applied to the concept of the Middle. Too many people get caught up in one way - and it's easy to get caught up in money - and forget the joys of simple living.
To live this kind of life, you can think of your allocation of time on a weighing scale. Working a finance job - you lean too much on one side. Social media exacebates the worst side as well. You need to do things to balance the other side - dinner with friends, walking in parks, doing nothing, etc. https://x.com/lazyvillager1/status/2099406548435128592
