Excellent read - Jeff Lore
On Jeff’s character
• “He wears the same Lululemon shorts and T-shirt every day. He owns 15 pairs of the shorts and 10 of the shirts, in three colors each.”
• “He even cuts his own hair because, well, going to a barber takes time.”
On ambition and work
• “The brain is an organ. If you need to work more hours, you can train for it.”
• “If you’re not the first person doing something, it’s probably not worth your time to be doing it at all.”
On Hyperliquid’s ethos
• “No investors. No paid market makers. No fees to the dev team. No insiders.”
• “If Bitcoin had raised VC rounds, I really don’t think it would be Bitcoin.”
On direction vs. destination
• “Be very confident you’re going in the right direction, and execute well on the step you’re taking right now, without knowing exactly where you’re going.”
The ending is beautiful writing
• “You leave a beach in Puerto Rico where nobody knows your name. You build something from scratch using your television and your own savings. You turn down $100 million. You give billions to strangers. And what do you get? War.”
There is no second best.
