> Much better option is to keep working in tech, earn as much money as is feasible, and then funnel the excess funds into companies that _do_ longetivity research.

THat's a good idea. But I think an even better strategy would be to start a cryptocurrency hedge fund and later start an associated exchange.

This will allow us to maximize the amount of money we earn, so we can have the greatest impact on companies that do longevity research.

So if you could fill in the ??? on how to profit, then yes, this is a good way too. Note that it needs to be legal.

I'm joking around. What you said is very similar to the "Effective Altruist" mindset and so I'm referencing FTX & Alameda.

oh it's not altruistic. The life and longevity research investment will make a good return, considering that almost everyone would want to live longer and thus the demand would be insatiable. It's an investment.

But you have to spend all the money on research before the SEC sends you to jail, right?

[amrocha]

That's a great way of minimizing the money you earn

Nice try, SBF.
