> Stablecoins enable instant, borderless, programmable transactions, but current blockchain infrastructure isn’t designed for them: existing systems are either fully general or trading-focused. Tempo is a blockchain designed and built for real-world payments.
I don't think putting all your net worth in S&P would be considered diversified.
With an MSCI world, those companies would drop to ~22% exposure. Throw a bit of real estate, more exposure to your home country if you are not in the US some real estate, some bonds and you can make it drop to <10%.
All those statements made sense to me at the time. And I have no doubt that one of these days, someone will make a correct prediction. But who the hell know what and when.

The password book of every person around me become awful over time. They don’t distinguish between uppercase and lowercase, they write bad notes, most of the content is outdated, sometimes there duplicates and overall cause me more headache than anything.
I hate password books. I don’t have a better solution though.
For now, I teach them to use chrome password manager for now and log in their chrome account when they need help. It sucks too. But at least I don’t get angry with their notes.
