Crypto Learning Budget

A strategy for learning about crypto and NFTs by allocating a specific budget for hands-on experimentation and immersive learning.

Learning Budget Strategy

• Set aside a specific amount ($250,000) as a "learning budget"
• Use the budget to actively experiment with crypto tools and NFTs
• Focus on hands-on experience rather than just theoretical knowledge
• Create a time-boxed period (one week mentioned) for intensive learning

Implementation Approach

• Shut down distractions

  • Turn off Slack
  • Disable Facebook
  • Stay off Twitter
  • Remove all regular work commitments

• Team-based immersion

  • Clear entire team's calendar
  • Have everyone focus solely on learning
  • Create shared learning experience
  • Stop normal work activities during this period

Benefits of This Approach

• Reduces FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)

  • Addresses the feeling of missing opportunities
  • Gives dedicated time to explore new areas
  • Helps understand what you don't know

• Creates focused learning environment

  • Works like a "sprint week" around learning
  • Acts as a "mini vacation" or "mini retirement"
  • Allows deep diving into specific topics

• Follows "work like a lion, not like a cow" philosophy

  • Intensive sprints of focused work
  • Concentrated periods of learning
  • More effective than continuous partial attention
