21/ People keep tagging into the thread, not reading what I've wrote. BTC launched in, what, 2009 ? The point I've belabored above remains: gotta grind for ~20+ years before the easy-money / big-money bets start appearing.https://twitter.com/FakkaFranz/status/1288225915068190722 …

32/ and this "friendlessness" gets back to "the grind" that I keep talking about. I ALREADY DID "ten years with no friends" once in my life; not really eager to do it again.

33/ In Rewrite, by Benford, the character who reads STRONGLY as Mary Sue Benford, 60 yo in a 17 yo body, goes ahead and bangs his 17 yo crush like a church bell in a hurricane. It was ... uh ... uncomfortable to read.https://twitter.com/cicero418/status/1288235991589965825 …

34/ YEEEEEP Stock trades used to be super expensive. $50 fee c. 1985 is $120 today, inflation adjusted. Have $2k to invest in this time travel scenario? Lost 5% off the top. PLUS a wide bid-ask spread! https://www.businessinsider.com/historical-trading-commissions-2014-3 …https://twitter.com/Bobthewelding1/status/1288236623000408065 …

35/ Yep. As I suggested upthread, I think that indy writing is the way to go. Standard quality in RPGs, novels, etc. c. 1981 wasn't that high. I could compete well. Buy desktop publishing software and a Mac c. 1985 ... https://twitter.com/crybx/status/1288237282596593666 …

37/ yeah, I'm sure that there are TONS of 50:1 bets (literal sports bets, but also shorting stocks, going deep on margin and buying for 1-day pops, etc.) out there I'm implicitly playing the game with the rule "no time to research and memorize"https://twitter.com/drethelin/status/1288239426104156160 …

38/ yeah, is the dress blue or white? there are two different ways to play the game; I read it as "back to 1981", but you can play it the other wayhttps://twitter.com/Cristiona/status/1288240303858753541 …

39/ If I had to come back as a 10 year old in 2020 USA, I suppose I could write novels after school and launch them via Kickstarter / KDP ...

40/ Have thought about this. I ABSOLUTELY could not rewrite it from memory. I could write a SIMILAR book, but ... man...I don't know if I ** COULD ** By which I mean, I've already written it 6 times (drafts), and the magic is gone, in the sense that >https://twitter.com/SquaresToCubes/status/1288242937818517504 …

41/ the absolute burning compulsion to tell this story, right, and well ... has already been shorted to ground. It was already a massive uphill task to write 1,300 pages an accomplish what I wanted to ... WHEN THERE WAS A FIRE IN MY BELLY. Whew.
