- Most people think it’s ridiculous to own a yacht but I think it’s a great investment.
This is my reasoning:
J.P. Morgan acquired his first yacht in 1881. The yacht was a 185-foot steam sailor named Corsair. If we learn one thing from J.P. Morgan, it’s the value of owning a yacht for the purpose of making more deals.
In 1893 J.P. Morgan invited the presidents of the New York Central Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad aboard the Corsair II to end the rate wars between the two railroads.
He kept the yacht at sea until the men negotiated. The rate wars had been going on for years, and they were costing both railroads money. Morgan argued that the wars were also hurting the American economy by discouraging investment.
He convinced the presidents of the two railroads to agree to stop competing with each other and to divide up the territory they served. Known as The Corsair Pact, it was a major victory for Morgan, and it helped to solidify his position as the most powerful banker in the United States.
It’s Morgan who, when asked the expense in maintaining such a vessel, is credited as saying the now cliché approximation of, “if you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.”

- Official Announcement!👽June 9th, 9am PST. I've mentioned it before but here's the full story. I will be releasing 111 unique Alien NFTs. The metadata will change over time per holder, so they're your $Infinati badges and cool art (Unbored Alien Yacht Club?). They may morph into a GIF, Video etc.
Each one is unique. Say you end up being a whale or xyz (whale for the week because you know I will perform in your city), then you could use that as a ticket for entry\* - Some festivals won’t let me to do this, such as an upcoming hacker convention in August. So this may vary since I’m not the president, only the CEO of Infinati. Other perks will exist though, merch, only fans? lol, etc.
The website is alive and kicking. The contract has been deployed. It just needs ONE more Alien, a special one, perhaps a GIF or video or 3D magic!? My PFP is an example and the main one that’s already minted and owned by me always (I hope).
f you go to my site or find the contract, it won’t let you mint until Friday but you may look at it so you know you won’t get your wallet wiped. You won’t see it on OpenSea either until it’s minted. Max 5 per wallet!
As always I appreciate the support. They will be very affordable on Base (less than $ 10 unless ETH moons this week). $INFINATI! LFG. 😎 Love you.
ps these are real sneak peaks, will not count as your badge. Just announcing.
reply with something so I know who wants to get ABDUCTED by a UFO at the speed of light, specially if you own cows.
- Part 15: Nathan Mayer Rothschild (continued).
The following is Methods of Prosperity newsletter number 15. It was originally deployed September 28, 2023. As of June 6, 2024, original subscribers have received up to issue number 51 (Sam Walton, conclusion).
TL;DR
In 1817, the Rothschild family was elevated to Austrian nobility, signaling their elite status. By 1822, the five Rothschild brothers established a financial institution with branches in major European cities. They excelled in arbitrage, increasing their wealth by exploiting market inefficiencies. During the Napoleonic wars, they efficiently handled British subsidy payments to Austrian allies, gaining the trust of key Austrian officials. This led to Salomon Mayer Rothschild moving to Vienna to manage a significant loan.
The Rothschilds entered the maritime insurance industry in 1824, founding the Alliance Assurance Company to compete with Lloyd’s of London. This company eventually merged and evolved into the RSA Group, acquired in 2021. Nathan Mayer Rothschild’s relationship with the Bank of England was crucial. In 1825, his family provided gold to prevent a financial crisis.
The Rothschilds also gained control of the Almadén mercury mines in 1835, becoming dominant in the global mercury market, essential for gold refining. They expanded their refining interests, acquiring the Royal Mint Refinery in London. This gave them considerable influence over the gold market, especially during the gold rushes of the 1850s. The Rothschilds owned the Almadén mines until they were sold to the Spanish government in 1973, with operations ceasing in 2003 due to environmental concerns.
Key lessons:
• Don’t be greedy. There’s no need to over-charge for loans.
• You will do well taking on the right amount of risk.
• Find market inefficiencies and take advantage.
• Lend as much as you can to nobility.

I’m a former makeup artist who wanted something that not only I would like, but anyone can use every day.
The only problem is there’s a very limited supply.
- PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkl substances), AKA forever chemicals, are a group of synthetic chemicals that never break down.
Developed by DuPont and 3M in the 1940’s and 1950’s as a sealant for military applications during WWII, these compounds had to be repurposed after the war.
Including non-stick cookware, like Teflon, these compounds are in nearly everything. Inadvertently, this stuff contaminated the environment and potentially causes various health issues.

Part 14: Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836).
TL;DR
One family’s wealth and influence on the global economy of the 18th century was in the balance. One of five sons born into the second generation of the Rothschild dynasty on September 16, 1777, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany would tip the scales. Nathan Mayer Rothschild was sent by his father, Mayer Amschel Rothschild in 1798, to England to lay the groundwork for an international banking network, initially settling in Manchester with a textile business before moving into banking in London. Suddenly, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte went to war against Prussia and Russia, leaving turmoil in his wake. Wilhelm IX of Hesse, a close ally of Prussia, was forced to go into exile. His assets could have been seized by Napoleon. The House of Rothschild was chosen to secure the assets of Wilhelm IX, leveraging the opportunity to engage in profitable gold arbitrage amidst the Continental Blockade, thus outmaneuvering Napoleon’s economic strategies.
The Rothschild network’s ability to move capital and gold across Europe discreetly allowed them to support Britain’s military efforts against Napoleon, including funding the Duke of Wellington’s troops. Nathan Rothschild’s financial acumen established the family as premier bankers, culminating in their role as the British government’s key supplier of bullion and their involvement in critical financial transactions for the war effort. Their success was amplified by their insightful exploitation of market inefficiencies and superior access to information, which together with their political connections, gave them a significant advantage over competitors. The defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo was a turning point that solidified the Rothschild banking dynasty's prominence in international finance.
Key lessons:
• The golden rule is: he who has the gold makes the rules.
• Where there is distress, there is profit to be made.
• Use leveraged debt to expand your business.
• Your network is your net worth.
• Arbitrage is leverage.

- Methods of Prosperity Part 47: Sam Walton
TL;DR
In 1985, Forbes Magazine declared Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, the richest man in America. Sam Walton lived modestly, driving an old pickup truck and getting regular haircuts at a local barber shop while wearing a Walmart trucker hat. Walmart lost half a billion dollars after the stock market crash in 1987, to which Walton famously responded, “It’s only paper.”
Sam Walton was born in 1918 in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, to Thomas Gibson Walton, a natural negotiator and banker who avoided debt, and Nancy Lee, who started a milk business during the Great Depression. Growing up during tough times, Sam learned the value of money early, contributing to his family’s income by selling magazine subscriptions and raising and selling rabbits and pigeons. Walton graduated with a BA in economics from the University of Missouri and briefly worked for JC Penney before serving as a captain in the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps during World War II. After the war, he ventured into retail by purchasing a Ben Franklin variety store in Newport, Arkansas, with a $ 20,000 loan from his father-in-law. It didn’t take long for Sam Walton to discover limitations with that franchise. The store’s competition across the street did better than his store, but Sam had the awareness to “learn from everyone“.
Key Lessons:
• Price is what you pay, value is what you get.
• Provide more value than your competition.
• Always contribute more than you receive.
• Wealthy people are never needy.
• Learn from everyone.

Part 46: James Patterson, Founder of National Cash Register.
TL;DR
Dayton, Ohio, was devastated by a flood in 1913. John Patterson, founder of National Cash Register (NCR) transformed his factory into a makeshift hospital and refuge. NCR workers produced rowboats in the facility for rescuing residents of Ohio from the flood. The product which NCR was famous for was invented by James Ritty. Frustrated with employee theft at his saloon, he created a device to track sales, which Patterson and his brother Frank acquired and improved, leading to NCR’s establishment in 1884. Under Patterson, NCR not only innovated the cash register with additions like a paper roll and electric motor but also pioneered modern sales techniques, including a detailed sales script and comprehensive training and welfare programs for employees. Patterson and other executives later faced legal challenges, including a conviction under the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1912. Patterson’s efforts during the Dayton flood influenced public opinion. Charges were eventually overturned on appeal.
Key Lessons:
• Go hard with your selling techniques and sales training.
• Your resources can help save lives and livelihoods.
• Discover inefficiencies such as preventing loss.
• Get out of a bad business and into a good one.
• Surf’s up, catch a wave (metaphorically).
• You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
• Haters will come after you.
• Take care of your people.
• Cut costs.
