I like crypto and am glad that the prices have gone back up. I HODLd and tend to mostly buy what you could call the "blue-chip" cryptocurrencies whose performance and valuation I am satisfied with. I can't help but ask, however, what happened to all the people who were convinced to buy "real-estate in the metaverse" or were told that it would be a good investment to pay tens of thousands of dollars for images of a cartoon ape? I do not hear much about these narratives anymore and I have not heard of any recovery in values, though I am sure some credulous people lost quite a bit for trusting these stories a few years ago. There needs to be some self-policing and accountability not just of the fringes but the mainstream of any industry in order to build and deserve public trust. I highly recommend reading the book "Narrative Economics" to understand how good storytelling can be used to drive unwarranted increases in asset prices. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691182292/narrative-economics

didn't realize how much strength I'd lost after 4-5 months of heavy cardio until I returned to the gym last week. cardio and strength training feel like polar opposites.

1/ The toothbrush test A helpful heuristic I use to evaluate consumer apps is the toothbrush test. I first learned about it in 2014 in a NY Times article. "When deciding whether Google should spend millions or even billions of dollars in acquiring a new company, its chief executive, Larry Page, asks whether the acquisition passes the toothbrush test: Is it something you will use once or twice a day, and does it make your life better? The esoteric criterion shuns traditional measures of valuing a company like earnings, discounted cash flow or even sales. Instead, Mr. Page is looking for usefulness above profitability, and long-term potential over near-term financial gain. Google’s toothbrush test highlights the increasing autonomy of Silicon Valley’s biggest corporate acquirers — and the marginalized role that investment banks are playing in the latest boom in technology deals."
