The core principles of investing aren't too many, and doesn't change too often.

Below are my quick useful🔟principles.

1⃣ Focus on Understandability (& circle of competence), Quality, Durability, Growth & Competitive advantages/Moats.
2⃣ Focus on Financial strength, cash generation capability along with long runway and high re-investment opportunity.

3⃣ Focus on Management - Integrity, Capability, Vision, Incentives alignment and long-term orientation.
4⃣ Learn how to interpret the Financial Statements of a Company, given it's growth stage/life cycle, Industry and what it's actual goals currently are.

5⃣ Respect Valuation (but that doesn't always have to mean purely statistical/backward looking metrics).
6⃣ Keep an eye on innovation, disruption and major trends helping/hurting your holdings and prospective Co's.

7⃣ Portfolio Concentration towards the best ideas based on conviction & return potential.
8⃣ Think & act long-term. Rational & disciplined execution. Time & patience given to great businesses will generally be rewarded with great returns.
9⃣ Keep an open mind. Respect well researched contrary opinions.

Learn from various good resources, but always make your own decisions.

Learn from your mistakes & move on. Do not try to justify your past mistakes if the facts are no longer aligned with them.
🔟Accept Volatility as part of the journey and even take advantage of it.

Moderating your fear (during bad times) and greed (during good times) will ensure survival and long-term success.

Hope this was helpful.

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho


There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.


Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.


Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.


The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.
1/ Feels like a good time to tell the story of how I went from broke to a millionaire to broke again in 2017/18 again...

Yesterday was brutal for some people...

Losing life-changing money sucks, losing any money sucks...you can chase the market or you can change your strategy.

2/ The original thread is gone but you can read it here.

tl;dr
- Traded $32k to $1.2m
- Thought I was a genius
- Made poor investments
- Didn't conserve capital
- Peaked at 150 BTC
- Lost nearly all of it

2 weeks from losing my house + no income. Oops.

3/ I am going to assume you are in it for the money rather than the tech. Yeah, you might Tweet about the amazing blockchaining of cross-border payments and oracles yadda yadda...really, you are in it to make money.

If you are really in it for the tech, go and build something.

4/ Okay, so if you want to make money, trading is super hard, you are trading against:
- Better traders than you
- People who can move markets
- Unknown information

And if you are trading with leverage you might blow up your account with the volatility.

5/ If you are not trading, you are investing. Okay, so what are you investing in?

I made the decision that the crypto with the best opportunity of existing in 10 years is #Bitcoin:
- Solves a genuine problem
- The right tech
- A proven track record
