Gave me good cause to pivot from finance to technology in 2012, resulted in making literally 5x more than I would have likely made.

Got me a strong introduction to multiple jobs. One of which really transformed my career. (Twitter is a much better LinkedIn than LinkedIn)

Exposed me to really interesting thinkers which fundamentally altered what I pursue in life.

Told my COVID was coming in early 2020, shorted the US market and made ~$35k.

Got me off mainstream media and made me deeply pessimistic about both political parties but really optimistic about the future.
