It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood ... -Theodore Roosevelt

There are no secrets about the world of nature. There are secrets about the thoughts and intentions of men. -J. Robert Oppenheimer

All the world’s a stage And all the men and women merely players They have their exits and their entrances And one man in his time plays many parts -William Shakespeare (As You Like It)

If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders. -George Carlin

The phrase "it's better to be lucky than good" must be one of the most ridiculous homilies ever uttered. In nearly any competitive endeavor, you have to be damned good before luck can be of any use to you at all. -Garry Kasparov

Meanwhile the Cosmos is rich beyond measure: The total number of stars in the universe is greater than all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet Earth. -Carl Sagan

Quote from my Father: Opinions are like assholes; everyone's got one.

Ole Timey Saying: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. -Sun Tzu

Chaos isn’t a pit, chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. ... And some, are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is. -Petyr Baelish

Time in the market beats timing the market.

🤔 Sooo Lido just told everyone at a #DevconVI panel how they think big professional operators are more important than my home staker frens...! 👇 Watch a quick 1min clip about "Promoting Small & Independent Stakers" first to get the context, then read on youtu.be/Exh-hQOV8kE?t=…

Lido said: "we think that most of the stake should be managed by professional operators" & that home stakers by contrast are "hobby(ists)" who are "not rational" & "do it for fun" 👀 Yikes, maybe they missed the memo... not the best way to Promote Small and Independent Stakers!

Lido's biz model is to convince the world that staking is risky/complex/expensive/time consuming. It's not. Similar to TurboTax lobbying to keep taxes complex, Lido has an incentive to promote barriers to entry for staking.
