If my main goal was to make tons of money, I would have set up a hedge or quant trading fund, hired a bunch of fellow nerds, and sat close to the stock exchanges in NYC. And I know a bunch of people who do it. They make money by extracting value. But I didn't come to this world to extract value. Not even to redistribute value. I came here to create value. The more value I create, the higher my chances of capturing a portion of it. And that's how money should be made.
