1/

Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, we'll cover *State Quantities* and *Flow Quantities*.

This mental model can help us analyze many different entities -- from complex engineering systems to publicly traded companies.

2/

A "State Quantity" is something that's associated with a *specific point in time*.

For example, the number of followers a Twitter account has is a state quantity. This number can go up and down over time. But at any one *specific* time point, it's fixed.

3/

Similarly, the amount of cash a company has is a state quantity.

This cash balance can also rise and fall over time.

But pick any one *specific* time point -- and the company can only have one *specific* cash balance at that time point.

4/

By contrast, a "Flow Quantity" is something that's associated with a time *interval* rather than a time *point*.

For example, the number of followers gained by a Twitter account is a flow quantity. It's meaningful only when we specify a time interval (eg, the last 30 days).

5/

A simple analogy is that a State Quantity is like a photo -- a snapshot at a particular *point* in time.

But a Flow Quantity is like a video -- a record of events that take place during a particular time *interval*.

The most memorable interview I did this year was w/ Stanley Druckenmiller, who famously made $1B shorting the British Pound.

The trading legend's track record includes a 30-year stretch returning 30%+ a year (without a single down year).

Here are 8 investing lessons🧵

1/ Make concentrated bets in high conviction plays

2/ Concentrated bets can sometimes *reduce* risk

3/ Use a multi-disciplinary approach to investing

4/ Know when to sell (he never uses a stop loss)

1/11) Introducing https://t.co/dDuU0rsw1Y.

We are building a new #DeFi asset management protocol.

Ccommunity owned and community managed funds.

DeFi meets Wall Street Bets.

It's time to decentralize and democratize investment

TLDR 👇

2/11)

The investment landscape has changed forever.

We are finally at zero interest rates. End of the road.

Traditional asset classes like bonds or equities don't have risk/adjusted positive outlooks anymore.

Inflation looms 💸💸

What can we do about it?

3/11

As @RaoulGMI says, only one asset class has outperformed this increase in the money supply.

#Bitcoin, and crypto assets are just getting started.

Asset Management TAM is > $100T while DeFi is just $40B and all crypto is ~$1T.

Huge opportunity ahead 🚀🚀

4/11

We want to give everyone access to this one-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Accreditation rules, access to secret deals and local jurisdiction have kept the best opportunities private.

@balajis said many times that Web 3.0 is going to turn the world into investors. We agree.

5/11
We need to give everyone a chance to participate.

Robinhood has made everyone aware of the risk of centralized platforms.

If you are not paying to use a platform, you are the product.

Thanks to #Ethereum and #DeFi, we can offer asset management that is trustless and open.
