How does users being able to withdraw their money immediately affect your business model? How are you preventing someone from depositing/withdrawing the same $25 a billion times per week?

Wow, I had no idea the terms on these partnerships. Amex spending $4B on Delta miles in 2019 seems crazy. I wonder what sort of discount Amex (and other CC's) get on those miles vs retail buyers.
Also, they report total marketing spend of $2.9B in 2019 - seems like they could still be sitting on quite a few unused miles.

Ya, sometimes I follow this path as well. I like how you put it.

Agreed, I have found that as well. I have tried to define how much momentum I need to stay engaged. For instance, I started a YouTube channel. The process of creating videos was a short enough feedback loop (a few days max to start/finish a video) that I was able to stay engaged for longer than normal. I fed off of each finished video as the momentum to keep working on the project of "growing an audience around a topic I was passionate about".
I have also found that I am able to stay engaged in other applications where I have a shorter feedback loop, to maintain momentum.

Interesting distinction between "dreaming" and "fantasizing". Does the author define the two as the same process with the only difference being the effect the action has on you (e.g. destructive/unsatisfying)?

"maybe you already got what you came for."
As someone who frequently starts projects and doesn't finish them, I've wondered if the part I enjoy about the project is the dreaming about what could be. That little rush you get when a new idea is upon you and it's all you can think about for x days. Doing the initial research and formulating a plan.
This is a dopamine rush for me. The feeling of being laser focused for those few days is invigorating. The start of something new, the potential for life changing work.
It usually stops there. Maybe that's what I came for.
