Thank you, incredibly grateful for your mentorship! I'll be sure to put out some more free value to show my appreciation. For now, here is my big guide:
> the first product fox sent us we immediately rejected
For anyone wondering, my first post was just a couple paragraphs, a high-level outline of how to get into FAANG–I assumed that people could just fill-in-the-blanks on their own. I've had to self-teach for a long time, so I just assumed others could do the same–just shoot a message to your nearest FAANG recruiter and figure it out from there.
But, now I realize there's enormous value in my years of learning: reading, watching videos, attending international seminars, networking, consulting, doing research, building teams, interviewing and being interviewed, time spent with older mentors, going down rabbit-holes on forums, interesting conversations in video game lobbies, and my unique work experiences. Not to mention being a master at "googling it."
I've made a résumé for a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, helped a caretaker/high-school dropout get into college, and currently teaching a VP at a BB (making at least half a million USD) how to lead engineering teams. It's been a wild ride, and none of this would have been possible if BTB hadn't encouraged me.
Did anonymity go out the door? I see Fox, Bull and Opossum on here (https://faukes.com/team/). Funny that losing anonymity makes me trust this less than more. Also I thought BTB was multiple people.
This is an ignorant opinion. Losing anonymity should increase trust because we now stand behind our words at the risk of our off-chain reputation. All of our staff believe in this wholeheartedly–go ahead and google their names to verify their backgrounds. For example, our marketing associate has a long career as an actress. It should be easy to find videos of her with skin in the game.
It is not the loss of anonymity by itself that makes me wary. It is the inconsistency with the BTB messaging. Bull on multiple occasions mentioned that he will not reveal who he/they are. And the brand (both Bull's and the jungle's) seems to heavily rely on that as well. And if there was a change of heart I would expect a more orchestrated reveal and not find out about it through a random link. I do understand the increase of skin in the game with this but that is not the only variable. And in no way did I mean that the product is of low quality. I do enjoy your posts Fox and am working through your 2022 Web Developer Guide.
All the info related to BTB is beyond terrible and wrong. Not even close honestly. By end of month after our real connections and promotions go through you'll all have a good idea on how it actually works.
Hint no one is even close yet and most are in 40s.
Teaching how to lead engineering teams? It's kind of like herding cats (which, as a hamster, I've always been pretty good at) -- keeping them focused on the goal, running interference so they don't have to deal with (other) management, and using company resources to give them recognition and support they are (probably) unaware exists.
Im @chadmuzlim - 17 years old and got a digital marketing agency set up with three clients right now. Thinking I can hit 10,000$ a month by the end of March?? Crazy crazy times Thank you BTB
Also put my college fund into eth/soylana & link - has worked out good so far. Plus using your advice on stocks I got my boomer dad to put money into AMD, NVDA and SMH. Again I will never be able to thank you enough.

“ If you’re under 30 you probably want to target Florida and Miami. If you’re over 30 or have a sizable online presence, go to the lowest tax area you can find.”
Are these fundamentally different? Or is it more like if you’re in wealth accumulation > FL, wealth maintain > PR?
PR is by far most wealth accumulation, we just doubt anyone in their mid 20s would do it due to lifestyle sacrifice and party obsession of people in their 20s
I buy the narrative that the top individuals will end up needing companies less but there is something to economies of scale & having some kinds of institutions. You won't find many that are more individualist than me but what happens when the collectivists all freak out and gang up on us? Could get ugly. Just my 2 cents.
Hey BTB, I agree with everything you're saying. However, I'm slightly concerned as for the past 2 years I have been trying to set up an e-com brand. Are you effectively saying that building an e-com brand with the hope of an exit one day is not going to work soon?
this does not pertain to crypto but wondering your thoughts on a investment into some Lithium miners (smaller cap penny stocks as a degen type play) and maybe some Lithium/battery metal ETFs for the traditional portfolio. There will be a deficit in Lithium available for the coming demand I believe (going "green")
(Asking again as I didn’t make cutoff for last post)
While there will be an increase in demand for lithium, the small operations/penny stocks would play out just like gold vs. gold mine penny stocks during the gold boom: someone got the gold, and the stockholders got the shaft. You'd have to know a lot more about each specific company, their operations, capitalization, and potential compliance issues (etc.) to know if they'll even be sufficiently profitable to make it worth the risk.
Also, lithium is not all that rare, and if the price rises, more marginal sources become viable, so there is an upper limit on the price of lithium.
Before anyone asks no we're not going to be involved with the Melania Trump scam NFT mint
Lol…they are Grifters who see how much they can make off their “base”

Surprised Colonel Longnuts not on team page. Heard he got laid off from accidentally dropping his Trezor in the ocean

Did I lose your trust because you found out that I'm Korean?
Don't be silly. That adds trust. lol

Keep it up!
Two of our suppliers called us today telling us they are increasing most SKUs by 15-20% MINIMUM come Feb and asked us to stock up.
We are seeing emails from all our suppliers, price going up an average of 10-15%

you can thank D_Game for the semi stuff he's the resident expert, we don't even own either of those! Just SMH
hello, can I ask which trading plattform you are using? I couldnt find all the crypto coins on my plattform.
each exchanges have different coins offered, no exchange have ALL the coins in the market.
easier way to find it by using coingecko they have lists of exchanges that offer the specific coin you want.

I actually helped come up with the idea for the two to fight. Funny to see this in your article.
What’s the appropriate medium to pitch you an idea?
3 sentence email

No.
Great Post, Good To Know There's Still Wealth Share From The Free Sub Stack.
But If Your Not Paying For The Next Level Then Your Just Not Gonna Make It
