I imagine extreme wealth as a way to pursue ambitious projects, fund creative ideas, and enjoy extravagant experiences. These brief reactions capture what I find inspiring or appealing, not a detailed financial plan.
On January 28, 2025, I found DeepSeek’s development inspiring because I understood it as a side project funded by the founders’ main business, the quant hedge fund High-Flyer. I described the possibility of a money-making business funding a potentially world-changing side project as “pretty awesome.” I did not provide evidence or financial details about High-Flyer’s role or profitability.
On October 27, 2025, I said I would do the same kind of unspecified thing if I had “a couple billion in bitcoin,” like some Swiss people I mentioned. The captured post does not explain what “this” was or identify those people.
On December 28, 2025, after @patrickc shared a post titled “A Call for New Aesthetics,” I said that this was the type of thing I would do if I were a billionaire and called the idea “Really cool.” The capture does not explain what the idea involved.
On August 21, 2026, replying to @zachmstuck, I compared an unspecified situation to rented mansions, saying it was “still a little bit of a flex at least” and adding, “Gotta start somewhere.” The capture does not explain what situation I meant.
