Without going into the question of existence of spiritual realm, and other (impractical) philosophical questions, I'll say this.

It is very very simple for me.

Anyone can believe whatever they want.

But, they cannot force it upon anyone else.

As long as it is a very private and personal thing not affecting others, you can believe whatevs.

Now, if someone has a belief that in some way causes them to restrict others of their personal will, then it should not be seen as a valid belief.

If one believes that being gay is wrong he can believe that all he wants as long as he doesn't do harm to gay people. Like forcefully convincing other people that his belief is true or denying service to gay people.

Rosetta Stone software I found the most useful. It makes you repeat stuff a thousand times, but you get it, and not only that, but you remember it forever. Seriously, after 5 years, I can't get the sentences I learned using Rosetta out of my head. I will remember them always.

I think ICO will be replaced with some new fundraising method as the technology and awareness of the blockchain develops. There was a prediction that less and less people will create their own tokens in the next few years, and everyone will just use ether or whatever blockchain coin of the dominant infrastructure may be. I personally like different platforms having different coins, as they are not just money in that sense, but also represent value and function specific to the platform. But we need a good universal wallet and an easy-peasy way to exchange those tokens for others in order to be useful.

Maaan, it's 2018. and we still don't have holodecks we were promised! Can't wait until virtual reality systems get advanced enough!

Never! I value personal privacy a lot. Especially since I'm introverted. I can't spend all my time with people, I need time alone. And that means I need my privacy to live and breathe. But from a more philosophical standpoint, I still think we shouldn't share everything with our partners and that we ought to have privacy. Same goes for children. Parents usually want to completely control their children, but children need to have privacy as well.

If you love a person's soul, then a little chubbiness is insignificant. Love is not the problem. The problem is that we get bored. We want something new and exciting. That's just how things are most of the time. But weather you'll act on those shallow desires doesn't depend on your partner, or them getting fat. It depends only on what kind of person you are. Don't be a shallow person. Or rather, be whoever it is that you are, just be aware of that. If you are a shallow person, and you know that you are a shallow person, AND you are totally okay with that based on your views and belief system, then by all means, you do you, that is who you are.

And let me ask you this - will she still love you when you get fat?

Another interesting question for debate is - if you love her, and she gets like really fat, is she now a different person, a person that doesn't care much about their health, a person that is lazy and lacks will to self-control? And what have you done, as her partner that loves her, to try and stop her from destroying her health?

I am happy not being married. I don't see myself getting married in a long time. I haven't yet met someone that I feel like I would like to spend the rest of eternity with. I will not get married just for the sake of getting married. I can't stand having to be with someone just because, it suffocates me. But I guess when you meet that someone that makes you want to marry them you understand. I can't understand that now, but maybe sometime in the future.

I think having a big idea is more important, because if you have a great idea, you can raise investments for money. But after that, it's all execution. Ideas are worthless without execution.

My opinion on this is that you MUST first find out what it is that you love doing. What is your passion. And many people will say, I don't know what is my passion, or I don't have passion to do anything. But the key is to explore yourself. If you do not know what to choose, the best thing you can do is take some time to figure out where does your passion lay.Take a few years and try things. And I don't think just try it for a day and move to the next one. Try doing things for several months at a time. Maybe you'll discover that you are a developer at heart, maybe you'll discover you like to write poems. Whatever it is, when you find it, you'll know what it is by the way it feels. It will feel so easy and you'll be so immersed while doing it, that the time will just fly. You will stay up late because you can't stop working on it. I was lucky to discover that kind of passion for software dev early.

I'd google "Money" to see how the world turned out! Then if I see crypto is used, I'd go to coin market cap and lookup my coins <3 then check my ledger to see if everything is still there

I think you should make note of two different kinds of education - traditional, where you go to school and learn a standardized curriculum and self pursued education. But not only that, but more importantly the things you learn are useless if you don't know how to use them to solve problems. So that's the kind of applied knowledge you should strive to get to be successful in business. I don't think you can get that kind of knowledge by traditional means of educations (but they are necessary to provide you with a solid ground to expand further). The best way that you can get that applied knowledge is by having mentors and connecting with people that are really experienced in that field. Also, doing stuff on your own for the purpose of learning, like side projects.

I hold right now because some of my holdings are down 80%, and I'm waiting for them to go up and then I'll do some more trading. For other projects I believe in, I just hold by default. In this market wide crash everything is down, and when the market recovers, everything will go up. So short term (like 3-4 months) I am waiting for it to recover, but long term I'm waiting for it to soar to unthinkable heights

Yes, great point! The catch is that for something to become a currency, it has to have much much lower volatility than bitcoin has now. I'm not going to buy coffee for bitcoin if I can see that it can possibly 1) buy 2 coffees using the same amount in a week, or 2) I could have bought 2 coffees for the same amount a week ago. When the price stabilizes then it will be much more viable as a method of payment. Although to be fair, I do use bitcoin as a method of payment every now and then, by converting fiat into btc, and buying the thing right away, so it doesn't have time to change value significantly. That works, but it's cumbersome, can have a lot of fees and of course, that's not the point of crypto. So, I guess we'll be waiting for some big institutional money to come into crypto, which will cause more adoption, which will cause the price to stabilize in the end after having a big climb

The question is I think if you're going to use it as a store of value or as a method of payment. As a store of value, as you said, early adopters enjoy the biggest profits. As a method of payment, you don't care if it's $1 or $10000, as long as the price doesn't fluctuate too much too fast (if it does, it's difficult to use it as a method of payment). But I think when bitcoin becomes mainstream, the price will stabilize and it will be used in reality as a method of payment. And then it won't matter as the majority of people will be late comers, and the early adopters will be rich but they won't be able to affect the market, because it will be so big. So I think in the long run it doesn't matter and that fairness is not a scale that can be applied to this issue. That's the way it works with every new technology, the early adopters are the ones who are rewarded the most, but you have to remember that they are the ones who risked the most too - not every new technology goes on to become "the next big thing"

I think it's important to work both smart and hard if you want to really succeed. If you work smart, you'll finish the job for the day faster and have more free time. But imagine if you also took that time to do more smart work. You'd be able to achieve much more. This of course applies to people having their own business and wanting to grow it. If you're working for someone else, you'll want to work smart not hard. When you work hard, I found that you lose the bigger picture. That is very bad if you're working on your own business. So I found a solution where you would take breaks of half an hour to an hour, where you'd just chill and not focus too hard on anything, while still having the project on your mind. I think this allows the brain to connect the pieces better and often I'll realize something in that almost daydreaming state, that I couldn't realize during focused work.

Now another challenge is if you really, objectively have too much on your plate that you have to work hard and long. In that case you should learn how to delegate. But that's easier said than done, because when you delegate a task, that's only the beginning. Because when that someone finishes the task, you'll have to look over the results to make sure that is good. And oftentimes it won't be. So you'll be left with two options - either fix it yourself, or return it to be fixed, which opens another opportunity for the result to not be what you wanted. If you succeed to balance this delegation mechanism, you are on a clear path to working smart and winning.

PS If you need some motivation to work hard for what you want, check out Gary Vaynerchuk on youtube

I think that making it possible for anyone to invest in crypto is great, but the fact is that is has opened gates to inexperienced traders. I am still a noob, after a year of trading and watching the market. Also, when you see price of a coin go 7x in a matter of days (not talking just about the January bull run, but that happens in general, pump and dump, etc), then you think it's a regular thing, and you want to have that kind of gains with your coins too. I definitely agree about being patient. My suggestion is to play the long game. Trying to day trade when inexperienced will suck you in and become an obsession, but doesn't guarantee you'll see large gains. In fact, I think long term holding is most likely to bring big gains if you choose projects you believe in, and if they really are solid. Imagine trying to trade a coin that has a private beta out, and you are trying to hang to any news about it, like conferences and dev updates. There simply isn't enough to go on yet. Then, imagine when that project releases a major version. That's gonna drive up the price. But, imagine when a little more time passes and they start gaining traction and start being used more widely. That's when you'll se the largest gains!

Trading - no. But I'll buy into more crypto when it's a correction like this. If I don't have any money at that moment, I'll just hold. Or, in some rare cases sell some of the position of the projects where I turned profit, but I don't necessarily believe in them, to get a good position in other projects I do believe in. I know that even in a very red market you can get like 50% profits on a coin if you trade with a right timing, but I'm more in the long game. So I'm hoping that a year or two years from now it won't matter, because the market cap will get huge and we'll all have 100x from what we have now

Yeah, this is a great price to get more Ethereum but sure, the whole market went down over the last few months, and should soon start to go up again. Ethereum is valuable as a means of transferring value, and because most ICOs are based on it. But in the future it will become even more valuable with implementation of scaling mechanisms - Sharding, Off-chain transactions. When some of those solutions get implemented, and we see Ethereum scale well, it's value should also rise, as it will become viable for more usecases.

I'll invest in projects with a good idea, that are unique in some way and have a strong team. So I have to see myself using the project in some way in the future to be interested. The team must have strong track record of accomplishments. The team must be diverse. Then, after investing in the ICO, I will hold as long as I have confidence in the project. That means, if the team accomplishes visible progress, if they are communicating with the community, and they are doing good marketing, then I will hold. If not, I'll try to sell at a good moment.

Yeah it's bad. Although I found that even not eating fast food, but dining out a lot can be almost as bad. What I'm trying for sometime now is intermittent fasting, and I love it. It's not a fad diet, and you don't have to change your habits that much. You have an 8 hour window during the day in which you eat, and 16 hours where you don't eat. It may sound scary but it's not that difficult to do actually. You're asleep for 8 hours, which leaves 16 hours in which you need to take first or second 8 and plan to eat only then. You can eat multiple times, and don't have to make yourself eat only super healthy stuff, but you can eat as you normally do. Agreed, if you eat a lot of fast food every day, that needs to change regardless, but intermittent fasting can be a first step. Google it for more info
