PLUS: The ultimate gaming thesis
GM everyone. This is 2036. We scroll for gems all day so you don’t have to.
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...

Two people have had an outsized impact on my career.
One of them is Naval Ravikant.
Naval used to actively produce content. But since he started dropping wisdom bombs on his own app - Airchat - he’s been quieter on the podcast front.
This week, however, he dropped another long-form banger.
Thoughts on macro, investing, crypto, life - it’s all there.
This is one of the best pieces I’ve ever read on crypto gaming.

If you’re curious why the Metaverse is a multi-trillion $$ opportunity - and why I focus so much on gaming - I encourage you to read this.
It’s the ultimate gaming thesis.

if we are lucky, we get to run back the same exact trade as all eyes shift to a $ETH spot ETF after $BTC is approved

Remember that at some point in this bull market, when the ETH ETF is listed and retail + institutions are FOMO'ing, ETH will be burning record amounts of supply, and record amounts of ETH will be locked for staking.
That is an epic supply/demand shock in the making...

Here's a guide on how to make it in crypto.
I'll be sharing my personal advice, starting from $1k and going all the way up to $10,000,000+
Believe it or not, it is entirely possible to start with nothing and make it.

I cannot trade for shit. At all. I don’t try. I’ll never claim to “call” the market unless it satire or tongue in cheek.
I had a VERY simple thesis (along will @elliotrades)
