… like something real and physical


Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States, served 5 years & 7 months in office (1923–1929)
Nicknamed “Silent Cal,” he made fiscal discipline the cornerstone of his administration. During his presidency:
•He reduced the national debt by roughly 25%
•He cut federal spending, leaving office with a smaller budget than when he began
•He pushed through tax cuts while still maintaining annual budget surpluses
Then came The Crash of 1929
Black Tuesday (October 29, 1929) widely cited as the official beginning of the Great Depression.


how I feel on days like today…
when it’s cold & windy, the upcoming family vacation may get canceled due to an angry cartel, Bitcoin & the markets are getting hammered, wife is sick & I have in person work meetings scheduled all week long…
Well, this morning my wife asked,
“So… how much money have we lost with Bitcoin?”
I said, “Good News… we actually have more Bitcoin than we did last year… & now we can stack more sats per dollar.”
She just shook her head and walked away. Apparently she’s getting price alerts on her phone.
I thought I turned all those off 🤦🏻♂️

“It’s nearing 11pm. Saylor has been talking almost nonstop for four hours. I ask if he sleeps.
“I sleep when I get bored,” he says. “Not very often.”

The Seven Billion Dollar Man - Washingtonian
There is no great genius without a tincture of madness. --SENECA One afternoon last summer, Michael Saylor's assistant buzzed him in his offic...

“In 1999, at the height of the dot-com boom, Michael Saylor appeared in a high-profile segment on 60 Minutes (specifically airing in the fall of 1999, titled "The $7 Billion Man"). At the time, he was the 34-year-old billionaire CEO of MicroStrategy and was being hailed as one of the primary visionaries of the new digital economy.
The interview is a fascinating "time capsule" of early internet optimism and the shifting boundaries of personal data.
Key Themes of the Interview
* The "Telepathic" Vision: Saylor discussed his concept of "telepathic intelligence"—the idea that technology would eventually anticipate our needs. He envisioned a world where MicroStrategy's software would push personalized information (like traffic alerts, weather, or stock prices) to pagers and cell phones before the user even asked for it.
* Online Privacy vs. Convenience: When questioned about the massive amounts of personal data MicroStrategy was collecting to power these services, Saylor argued that people would willingly trade their privacy for convenience. He famously posited that most "traffic is predictable" and that by tracking 5 million people’s movements, he could optimize their lives.
* The Birth of Big Data: He described a future where everyone would have a "personal intelligence agent." While we now take this for granted (Siri, Alexa, Google Maps), in 1999, his description of tracking user location and behavior was seen as both revolutionary and deeply controversial.
Context and Aftermath
The 60 Minutes profile was intended to showcase Saylor as the "wealthiest man in Washington, D.C." and a titan of industry. However, the timing was bittersweet:
* The Nosedive: Just months after the segment aired, in March 2000, MicroStrategy was forced to restate its earnings following an SEC investigation.
* The Record Loss: The stock plummeted, and Saylor lost roughly $6 billion in a single day, setting a record at the time for the largest one-day loss of personal wealth.
> Fun Fact: Saylor took the interview so seriously that he reportedly reviewed tapes of himself beforehand and hired a coach .”
