10 Insightful Lessons From the Book “Ego is the Enemy”
⚡️Book Review⚡️
It is true that all of us, with no exemption, harbors a certain level of pride and ego.
Since pride is in us, it is either we feed it or starve it.
👉How you deal with your pride makes the big difference.
As soon as you feel you are becoming egoistic, boastful, and proud – you can tell yourself to stop.
👉Instead of directing people’s attention to you, choose to direct attention to others.
Ego encourages you to lift yourself and base your worth on nothing or false worth.
On the other hand, humility tells you how important it is to listen to people.
👉So, we listen twice as much as we talk.
Ego tells you not to listen to anyone. As a result, you stop learning. You stop growing.
So, if you want to keep on learning, learn to be humble first.
✅That’s how you become Great.
Ego focuses on self. Humility focuses on others.
✅If you want to become great, you need to help other people become great.
🚫Ego drives you to make certain decisions just to please others, causing a lot of problems along the way.
✅Instead, do what other people refuse to do simply because they think they are too important to do it themselves.
Looking down on people will prevent you from seeing what’s above you.
👉Every person’s worth is not based on their wealth, position, and job.
Pride tells us that we deserve better. It tells us to get what others have because we are better than them.
🚫Don’t let ego dictate which goal you need to accomplish.
Whether it is in our career or relationship, ego has its harsh way of killing what we love.
👉When we put ourselves first and not considering other people’s feelings and needs, there’s a good chance that you will lose them.
Whether we succeed or fail, ego is always there. Even if we are only aspiring and dreaming, ego is still there.
✅Own up the responsibility.
✅Endure and work harder to achieve your goal.
✅Don’t let ego get in the way.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
