Investing is really about one thing at its core—taste. Knowing what resonates, what people want, what's actually valuable. That's the game.
Here's what I've learned: every car I've owned has appreciated. Not one depreciated. And we both know that's wild because 99% of vehicles lose value the moment you drive them off the lot. No complex playbook, no secret formula. I just bought the ones that caught my eye, the ones with character. And somehow they kept going up.
The interesting part? This pattern shows up everywhere. Every market. Whether you're talking classic cars, collectibles, alternative assets, or even emerging tech—the same principle holds. Buy what has genuine appeal, what you believe in, what stands out from the noise. The math works itself out.
Taste isn't some mystical thing. It's about recognizing real value before crowds do. It's about conviction in what you're picking. That edge is surprisingly portable across different asset classes and market cycles.

Is buying a car a full upgrade? What kind of strong aesthetic taste does that require? Why don't I have this luck?

Bro, there's some logic to that... but honestly, it's all survivor bias.

NGL taste is just an information gap; those who saw it early have made a fortune.

Relying solely on taste to make money? That sounds like survivor bias, bro.

Relying solely on intuition to make money? That sounds a bit too mystical, but I have indeed seen people like that...
