Today is Favorite Friday, where we serve up the resources we most enjoyed this week 🍲.

So if you're looking for content to dig into this weekend, this is your list...

🥢 Our Favorite Resources

What we most enjoyed this week

1/ How to do great work - Paul Graham

Paul Graham is the co-founder of Y Combinator, the most successful startup accelerator in the world.

His essays on startups, investing and wealth are some of the most read in the industry.

This week he published his latest one. And we hadn’t read anything this impactful in a long time.

If you have 30 min this weekend, we recommend you read it.

If you don’t have time - we summarized some of the most important points just for readers of 2036. You can find the summary here.

2/ How to make wealth & How to get rich

Arguably, Paul Graham’s most famous essay is on how to build wealth.

But Naval’s tweetstorm, podcast and essay on the same subject are even better.

Parts of Naval’s work have been remixed into music. And this week, the latest hit just dropped. You can check it out here.

And if you want the most wholesome educational wealth training, listen to this.

3/ Arthur Hayes’ price predictions

Long-time readers of 2036 know that when King Arthur speaks, the crypto world listens.

Arthur Hayes was the first African-American billionaire crypto investor. And luckily for us, he publishes all his thoughts for free on the worldwide web.

His essays are required reading in crypto-land.

In his latest one, he discusses why AI will use bitcoin and predicts what it’ll mean for the price:

You have to read the essay to understand the table fully, but it’s 100% worth it.

4/ Bitcoin’s new chief of marketing

Larry Fink, the CEO of Blackrock, is arguably one of the most powerful men in finance.

He used to call bitcoin an index of money laundering.

But this week, he went on national TV to sing the praises of bitcoin and sell it to the world.

He’s the new Chief Marketing Officer bitcoin didn’t know it needed.

It’s just a 51-second clip - but if you like bitcoin, you’ll enjoy it.

it’s actually possible to live like this but it takes about a decade of plotting and scheming and solving for distribution and knocking over small dominos
what you’ll have to do is do 100 quests for free/fun, document it, and personally share the story with ~10,000 people
