In what sense? Do you eat caviar on a regular basis and dine at fine bistros? Because Taleb does. Perhaps he does not do so bad for himself. Last time he scored a few billions. Not often as he is long the wings but he seems to do better than the average guy who live in a town called "gulfstream" lol.
Why is every currency on the planet compared to Usd? That makes no sense. Have you ever left your home town?
"..... he scored a few billions." Got a link to that angry man? Here is one for town of Gulfstream, FL:- https://www.redfin.com/city/7218/FL/Gulf-Stream/housing-market
Nassim Taleb-Advised Universa Tail Fund Returned 3,600% in March https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...iversa-tail-risk-fund-returned-3-600-in-march That translates to more than a billion that he helped make for the fund.
What's early? Anything after Jan 2021 and you are probably under water and anything prior to that and you have sat by and watched your investment lose 40%. I wouldn't be proud of either.
Yeah Crypto is biggest Ponzi scam in the history of the world. I was thinking about Crypto vs Art. If we lost all the great art work from the masters that would be great cultural loss for the world. Yeah artists could paint more stuff but it will never be the same. Those priceless works would be lost forever. Lose all current Crypto tokens or NFTs in existence. No problem, just create new coins and blockchains and start the Ponzi scheme over again. In this respect, crypto is more like fiat money than art or gold.
I like this comment in response to Taleb's YT presentation: NRG 9 months ago (edited) If you don’t follow the math he wrote it is actually simple. Just multiply the value of Bitcoin today with the number 0. That will give you the general answer. For more precision multiply by 0.00
