Comment on Your Home Doesn't Matter for Tesla's Dream of a Battery-Powered Planet

Comments

Long time ago I visited the home of a young entrepreneur that had spent all his money installing optical fiber all around his home.

I remember what I thought: How stupid someone could be. It does not make financial sense at all when it was so expensive.

Turn out I was the stupid one. This man created a company doing exactly what he had done in his house but for others and made a ton of money.

In some way he paid a cost for living in the future, and he understood the practical shortcomings and advantages of the new technology much better than anyone else, which made him succeed when others failed.
