Just looking around me, friends, colleagues, neighbors, etc. see how I could do better. It sounds pretty bad but the people around me influence my personal growth. I love to push boundaries and explore things that haven't been explored

If I had to pay $1 per month for every website I visit daily on top of my comcast subscription, I’d need to sell my house. Ads are fine, the real problem with social networks is privacy. I’d pay for privacy if they’d offer some sort of sand

I've been investing in BTC since 2011. I think the term "invest" is appropriate here ;-) I started investing in altcoins recently as a way to entertain myself from long term holdings. I give it to you though, altcoins aren&#x

Coinbase is just a broker with a bunch of customers. It connects to all the BTC exchanges in order to execute all their orders. They don't own bitcoins.

No, it's just poorly managed. Use Gemini, which is 10 faster and much cheaper.

No code reviews. One single developer owns a lot of code. Extremely tied deadlines with very high expectations. Things get pushed out all the time. No real team work. Just code in time, send it to QA, they'll find 10000 bugs... problem

The thing is, if its value drops to zero, we might lose a few dollars here and there right? A lot of high profile people and edge funds would lose hundreds if not billions of dollars. So we’re good no worries... Now, if 1 BTC reaches 500k-$
