Why Builders Choose Bitcoin:
A Naval-Inspired Field Guide
The real game is wealth—assets that compound while you sleep and free you to think beyond the next paycheck.
That insight detonated across the internet in 2018 when entrepreneur-investor Naval Ravikant posted his legendary tweetstorm and later unpacked it in the podcast episode.
- 1Seek wealth, not money or status.
- 2Money is how we transfer time and wealth.
- 3Ignore people playing status games.
Leverage in a Digital Frontier
You won't find freedom trading hours for dollars. To get truly wealthy, you need equity—own a piece of something that scales. Wealth is created by solving problems people don't yet know they have—at scale. So choose a game worth playing for decades. Surround yourself with allies who compound value, not extract it. The greatest returns—wealth, wisdom, love—compound over time. Build rare, specific knowledge. It will feel like play to you, but look like work to everyone else. Code and media are leverage without permission. You can deploy both while you sleep. An army of invisible robots is at your disposal—coded, stored, and humming in data centers. Use them.
Listen, Then Build
This isn't a blueprint. It's a compass. It explores Naval's mental models—compounding, infinite games, engineering your own luck. Don't just listen. Absorb the signal. Then write your own script—in code, in sats, in skin. Press play. Download the philosophy. Deploy it on-chain. Wealth compounds. So does wisdom. So does trust. This thread isn't about getting rich. It's about getting free.
