I think the way to do it is simple. You need to develop the mental fortitude to simply spend some time logically planning out what you want to learn/do and why, and then just start…

Could this be related to electronic music shows, especially techno? Flashing lights and regular repetitive beats that act as a base to dance off of.

Agree on the first part, but what was so smart about the apartment/gold/BTC combo? Just good timing on all? Or was it more thought out than just good timing?

Great overview. Could you go more in depth with your experiences with the first group and second group?

Do these people that hold bitcoin or say that they've "made amazing returns" actual cash out at any point? Or are they holding a few bitcoins like everyone else? Isn't that how a b…

What was your programming level when you left the job and started working on these projects? I view myself as probably a 4/10 at this point, really never having built a super compl…
