By this logic, I lost $500B by not getting options on NVIDIA and timing every single successful jump.
That article silently assumes that, having a billion, the next step is earning more billions.
I can think of other options. I might not choose to buy that expensive house and those cars, personally speaking, but I certainly think there are options other than aiming for another billion.
Was this post copywritten by AI? It's all been boiled down to bullet points and includes ChatGPT's infamously overfit "X didn't just..." concluding paragraph.
Having $1.3 Billion is nothing to sneeze at. He obviously has done well for himself and has made the choices he has made for his own reasons. He is in no way a failure.
The title for this post seems very incorrect. How can you have "lost" something you never had? He chose to not invest in Microsoft and live his life how he wanted and that somehow makes it out to him making poor choices. Notch is still a billionaire; is the person that wrote this a billionaire?
He obviously isn't interested, I mean the only thing that I find surprising about him is he isn't funding a studio to make his dream games. Seemed to eventually get burned out when he tried to do it himself again.
LLM slop
I can’t imagine the miserable life a person must lead to focus on loss rather than the happiness brought to millions of people, the revolution in the gaming industry they started, and the 1 BILLION DOLLARS THEY MADE.
Money can’t buy happiness, but obsessing on other people’s missteps can buy misery.
