Imagine a different bet: You can have $1 million today, or you can have a penny that doubles every day for 100 years. Your great-grandchildren will curse your name if you take the million.
This isn’t just a math problem — it’s how modern society handles long-term thinking. We’re collectively taking the million dollars, over and over again, while exponential opportunities compound quietly in the background.
So my question for myself is, how do I think about my business and finances in a long-term manner? How would I treat my finances today thinking about 40 years from now? I likely wouldn’t buy so much random interesting technology and instead invest my money.
