The Space Between

I spend my days combing through an unbelievable amount of information all with the motivation of uncovering the best early stage crypto opportunities on the market.

I read hundreds of headlines a day, comb through an equal number of charts, and try to read developer notes to find the details everyone's overlooking.

But come Friday, it feels my brain is like a browser with 200 tabs open.

At a certain point, it becomes slow and freezes more easily.

I moved to the bottom of the world last year and one of the things that sold me was proximity to the most beautiful places in the world.

Glacial valleys, mountains that disappear into cloud, water so still it looks fake. It's a few hours down the road and I've been only just a handful of times.

That's the thing nobody warns you about when you work in markets. You build your whole life around information. More feeds, more sources, more alerts.

You start measuring a good day by how much you consumed, not by how clearly you thought. And slowly the stuff outside the screen stops getting your attention.

This weekend I'm driving south with no laptop, no plan, and probably no cell signal for most of it. Just a couple of days in the mountains doing absolutely nothing productive.

I scheduled this one a day in advanced so by the time you're reading this, this will be my view.

I used to feel guilty about that.

Now I think it's the most productive thing I can do.

The best ideas I've had this year didn't come while reading a whitepaper.

They came from the space between them.

I stole that mentality from my colleague Sean McLaughlin. He talks a lot about the space between trades; the discipline of doing nothing when nothing needs to be done.

It's one of the most underrated edges in any market. With this thinking, he doubled his entire portfolio last year without risking any more than 1% per position.

So if this message resonates, I'd highly encourage you check out his work here.
