If the last ten years have taught me anything, itā€™s the importance of patience and thoughtfulness in decision making. I used to hold a double-digit stack of BTC, and sold them all in 2015 in protest of both the projectā€™s technical direction (small blocks, Segwit, Lightning, etc.) and abusive straying from its cypherpunk roots (censorship, Blockstreamā€™s capture, etc). In hindsight, it was an expensive mistake, because the upside of hodling (now I the millions of dollars) was at least two orders of magnitudes greater than the downside (tens of thousands). I wish I had read Antifragile and learned to navigate asymmetrical bets sooner. Not long after, I also resigned in protest of being passed for Partner promotion at a Big Four, against the advice of my peers. I eventually made it at a different firm, but I took a needlessly circuitous route to get there. 1/3

Standing for your values is always expensive when you stand for something other than the ordinary. There are other paths I could have taken to be more wealthy, but doing so wouldnā€™t have brought me to where I am now. Iā€™m sure that for everything you lost, there is something you gained, even if itā€™s hard to see sometimes.
