*Ahem*
Question: If soil, water and trees didn't have their current rgb color values -- would they still exude hope & life?

For many Investors, Warren Buffett needs no introduction -- when the Oracle of Omaha invests or speaks, many listen.
I personally prefer Chamath Palihapitiya -- but an article about Warren Buffett, life investing & meaning is hard for me to pass ⁶.
In summary, Buffett talked about love, and how it yields exponential returns; but the goal isn't ultimately about how much love you get back: it's who you get it from.
His words, in tandem with this ...
... I know blockchain coding doesn't have emotions or racial ties -- and I haven't confused Basic Attention Token, with a Basic Love Token. *Mmm, BLTs tho*.
As someone with chocolate skin, I felt John Boyega's call to care for others & step up ... as a sort of challenge; in his words, "to be better".
If I earn a living helping more and more people, who in turn help others, say z.B.: a small business owner who personally tackles homelessness & starvation in their neighborhoods: the ripple effect could make Fibonacci clap in his grave; according to another of my role models, Kevin O'Leary ... most of such caring, responsible & successful Business Leaders aren't males ⁸.
Melding Boyega's "Be better, Black boy" with Buffett [basically] asking "Who are you really investing in?", I somehow came to the RGB color Venn Diagram: Soil (111, 69, 2); its potential & foundation, and resemblance in shade to my melanin -- and Water (2, 69, 111); a dangerous necessity without which, we die [kind of like love].
One might ask: Wait, why is Love blue instead of pink or red?
It'd be an excellent question ... for another article; According to the Ancient Greeks, love after all can be: Agape, Storge, Eros &/or Philia. Disagree? Agree? Let me know below
Attention can be costly when recklessly spent ⁷ -- but priceless when invested in others, just like love; but Kurzgesagt says it better ².
Even today, when someone shows me support, love or remote kindness -- I secretly feel indebted. It's like kindness forces me to write mental IOUs to that person ¹.
Before I invest further in others, I need to first have several, sustainable sources of income -- which is why in the weeks to come I want to talk about the Online Economy [Ö], Salt Lending, Nexo, Blockfi & Celsius Network, and each of their roles in the next parabolic run.
Using these banks I hope to raise my annual income, and invest in assets & ventures via [secured/collaterallized] debt. More on that later
In summary: Whether someone you look up to, told you to, or you personally feel it's the right thing to do: investing in others is often times one of the most rewarding experiences -- to cure boredom and give life meaning; especially if they support and care for others in return; because who knows, maybe one day they'll help you too.
