GM everyone. This is 2036, the crypto newsletter that pays you.

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/ Patience is beautiful - Arthur Hayes

Some have begun to wonder why, if we are truly in the midst of a banking crisis, Bitcoin hasn’t continued rising.

When you combine “money printer go brrr” with truly innovative technology, your returns will vastly outstrip the cost of energy.

How do we trade this?

King Arthur brings his A-game once again. Hands down the most valuable essay read this week.

And if you want to see Arthur at his best in a recent interview, check this out.

2/ How China envisions crypto

Yesterday, we talked about some of the most important crypto news of the year.

This quick Twitter thread dives deeper into how China sees crypto & Web3 today. Highly worth 2-min read.

3/ Excellent Advice for Living - Kevin Kelly on Rich Roll

Kevin Kelly is one of my unexpected new favorite people. He’s a futurist doing a short podcast tour to promote his new book - Excellent Advice for Living.

I haven’t taken this many notes from a podcast episode in a while. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did 🛸

4/ 31 lessons I’ve learned about money - Ryan Holiday

Read this once, and then read it again. It’s jam-packed with bombs of wisdom.

PLUS: If you’re looking to build a startup and you haven’t read Peter Thiel’s famous class notes by Blake Masters yet - I highly recommend it.

🐦 A couple of Tweets we found interesting

The best of the bird

My son asked what taxes are, so I gave him a bag of m&m's and explained that he has to give some to me and I know how much he has to give me but he has to guess himself and if he's wrong he goes to prison.

if you were forced to hold a significant position in one fungible token for a decade and it was not BTC or ETH, it would be...

I consider this a legitimately very difficult question.

And PEPE NFTs join the rank of the OG collections…

it is very pricey so it is not for civilians anymore unfortunately but I think any "major" NFT collection should probably have one
