“I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.”

-- Mark Twain.

The best thoughts are simple, crisp ones.

Long books, like the 830 page "monetary history of the US by Milton Friedman" are long, and verging on meaningless because they can't condense the facts into a few simple points. (HT @rclaassen )

Same for almost everything published by academic economists.

We don't need more raw word count. We need clear thoughts.

Like: "Bitcoin will become the dominant form of money in 20 years" or "Trading Bitcoin doesn't work because all the gains happen in 10 days".

Saylor and Tom Lee are both excellent at this.
