I wonder what will be the next asset they will launch on coinbase. I sure can buy up now and wait :-)

You can get a pizza today. In 2010, a programmer paid 10000BTC for two pizzas. https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-pizza-day-celebrating-pizza... Hopefully in future you won't regret buying a pizza with 0.0016 BTC. :-)

Not all tasks require uninterrupted attention all the time. Sure, if everyone is working on complex stuff everyone can put on their headsets; no one will disturb others unless required.

I personally love working close with my team in an open-setting. That's the reason I go to office every day even though my employer offers WFH. I just prefer turning around and asking a question or have a quick discussion. If everyone

I want to launch one of my pet projects, I am not sure when I would receive my green card. Instead of launching the service on my name, thinking an LLC would provide better liability protection. I talked to an attorney who said I can inco

T-mobile one - they had a promotion for 3 lines for $100 with free iPhone transfer in. Paid off my phones with the gift cards they sent. I don't burn more than 2gb of data per device as I am mostly on wifi, so I get $10 as kickback. So

I switched from At&t to t-mobile few months ago. I used to pay $130 for two lines, now I pay $80 for 3 lines. The reception is not great, but with all the perks like movie tickets, rentals the $80 monthly almost pays for itself. AT&

Companies usually can't afford cash, so they compensate in stock. Vesting stock is usually taxed at ~46% and short-term taxes on top of it if you sell. So paycheck wise there won't be much difference.
