Based16z shares his advice for young people looking to achieve financial freedom “I've been spending a lot of time right now working on Whop. I think that's really interesting and also embodies a lot of how you might describe the set of options for someone with the goal of achieving things in an economic sense” “I think that's a goal for a lot of people and was definitely a goal for me, to get my own economic freedom because I always felt somewhat hamstrung by it” “My parents could be like, ‘Hey, you can't do this. We're not going to support this or we can't afford this,’ or whatever” “If you have that as a goal then I think it's good to not go into a traditional job and try to do something on the internet for yourself and build equity in it or build skill in it or build specific knowledge” “What that is, is just so changing and I'm probably too old even to understand what the coolest one is. Maybe it's building Roblox games now right? There's some kids going insane on that” “Part of the Whop thesis is just like hey the smartest and most motivated people in the world are going to try to figure out their own things to do and it's going to be ever changing and an ever evolving meta” “It's even beyond crypto. I wouldn't tell someone, ‘Hey, go into crypto trading.’ If you had a real passion for that, I'm sure you can still do well starting from nothing” “You can make it doing anything as long as you love it” “You gotta work on something that's interesting to you, that's working for yourself, that's probably a little bit new and is hard to explain to old people and that you're going to have fun with”
