Every time I say to myself there is no way I would buy into bitcoin because it is too expensive, I look back a few weeks later and it is astonishingly moving up even higher. From $4.5k I was thinking this. I think BTC is a good long term investment for people that have spare cash to experiment with. For someone like me that is a small fish, I'm going to continue to think that it is too expensive. But more importantly, transactions are too slow for my taste after seeing the speed of many other alts.
3  Other / Off-topic / Resume Writing Service on: January 27, 2018, 03:39:03 AM
Has anyone had any experience with professional resume writing services? Which service did you go with? How much did it cost you? Did you go for a cover letter too? What about these linkedin profile makeovers? Did it increase the number of interviews you scored? What was your overall satisfaction with the writer/service you hired?

Yesterday I decided to randomly click one of those 30 second resume critiques and today when I got the feedback, I was surprised that a real person went through my resume and highlighted key issues that I can agree on. Or at least, they convinced me into agreeing. But I never knew that hiring managers use special filtering software to eliminate applicants. I have been writing my resumes myself for the last few years but now I am wondering if the playing field has changed and I should up my game by investing a little money. The service I saw was about $150 for resume, $200 for resume & cover letter, and $350 for the all of that plus one of their top writers. Another service I saw was quoting prices in the thousands of dollars.

What is a good price to pay for this sort of thing? Anyone have any recommendations for particular services they have used?

I have found that it takes a lot of self improvement to attract girls to me. Also patience and faith. I'm really quiet so opening up with small talk is just about the hardest thing I have tried to do. But if I workout, find passion through hobbies and interact with the local community, occasionally someone falls upon me. More importantly, it is usually someone I enjoy spending time with because we are both focused on our mutual interests and not so much trying to impress the opposite sex.

If I were you, I would improve your odds by trying yoga. Lots of ladies in yoga. Every time I go to a studio or retreat, the ratio of girls to guys is at least 5:1.

But the odd thing is that once I am experiencing this balanced and motivated passion for a hobby that is attracting women towards me, I often don't feel the need to "get girls". It's almost like the needing feelings fall away and all that is left is content with friendship.

My first goal is to learn how to do a handstand for 30 seconds to help me improve my mental clarity and body strength. My second goal is to figure out what I am going to do with my life and how I plan to do it.

If by life, the quote means time, then yes. I think time moves in one direction. We are born to die pretty much. If by life, it means something else then that could be disputed further.
7  Other / Politics & Society / Re: To travel is to live on: January 25, 2018, 06:34:05 PM
Traveling has been eye opening in several respects through the people I have met, the variety of the places I have visited and the realizations about myself along the way. But sometimes I am traveling for a long period of time, I question what I am doing and where I am going. I wonder why I am here and what I should be doing. So I have come to decide that traveling for me is not as important as is living in a foreign place for more than 1 month. Living on a farm, with a family or in a city with strangers. To become accustomed to my new surroundings is key to my happiness.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: So, you want to be rich? All of you ? on: January 24, 2018, 04:48:02 PM
I don't think it is so much about being rich as it is having enough money in general to achieve some sort of fantasy of how life should be lived. Enough to satisfy the requirements of basic human needs at least. You can be rich and live in a shack. You can be rich and build schools for the poor. It doesn't have to be lavish and lazy. Satisfying the issue of money is important to me so that I help other people in an effective way and not have that stress of not being able to support myself.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think digital currency will ever replace paper money? on: January 24, 2018, 04:40:10 PM
Between fiat and crypto, I'm not sure. Between paper and digital, I think we have already come to this point in time where the speed and efficiency of credit cards have taken over cash transactions. If retail stores could stop dealing with fractions of a dollar so that I might never have to hold onto change, I might use cash more. If credit cards didn't offer lucrative deals on points and airline miles, they may not be as attractive either.
10  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will religion save you? on: January 23, 2018, 04:26:12 PM
It depends on what you are trying to be saved from. The typical thing that one needs to be saved from is this concept of hell. Still there are many ideas of what hell is and more importantly, when it can happen. If I think about the experiences people go through during their life times, hell could be now or it could be after death. And the extent of negative experiences are relative to the extent of positive ones. My suffering could be someone's bliss. My bliss could be someone's suffering. A dollar to me is a million dollars to someone else. In terms of what someone needs to be saved from exactly is questionable. Perhaps it is burning in a pit of doom. Perhaps it is mixed up in a negative tangle of one's own mind. Perhaps it is loss of ego entirely. In that sense, nothing can save you. And so can everything. Rather the context of what you believe you need to be saved from is what determines how you think you should go about being saved. It could be praying 5 times a day. It could be reading the bible six times. It could be going to the jungle to take Ayahuasca. It's up to you to make these determinations with what you observe from your own experiences. What attracts you and what repels you. What does your intuition say. Do you listen to it?
11  Other / Off-topic / Re: Sleep Paralysis? on: January 23, 2018, 04:13:16 PM
On the contrary to the fear that most people exhibit when they have sleep paralysis, consider yourself lucky that you might get to experience such an interesting mental state.

Sleep paralysis happens to every one every time they go to sleep. The brain puts to sleep the motor functions of the body so that you cannot run around your room and crash into every wall while you are dreaming of running a marathon.

Next time it happens to you, try not to fight it. Instead try to calm your heart rate down and meditate if you can. Realize it is natural to happen. You may wake up in fear that you cannot move and I agree it is unnatural that you wake up in that state but by calming yourself and maybe even closing your eyes again to sleep off the effects.

If you want to go a step farther to utilize this state, take a look at lucid dreaming! Sleep paralysis is one of the steps for the "wake back to bed" technique described by Steven Labarge in 'Exploring the world of lucid dreaming'. One who wants to practice this technique will lay down on their bed, meditate and listen to their thoughts while closing their eyes but not necessarily be thinking. Instead they are watching their thoughts (it's rather challenging of course). You will then see brief images in your mind and if you can remain in control of this listening/watching but not thinking state, you can enter a dream fully awake and free to control it in whatever way you wish. Sleep paralysis is part of this process because your body will begin to sort of shut down while you enter sleep and are not moving. Staying as calm as possible can help facilitate this process.

I'm not sure what to do if you want to get out of sleep paralysis and are stuck in it. But trying to stay calm is key considering you can't move anyway due to a natural process. A state of panic and anxiety is going to exacerbate the negative effects.
12  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to trade without losses on: January 19, 2018, 03:46:48 AM
Ideally I would say to take calculated risks with small portions of your portfolio and monitor those risky ones consistently. Cash in some profits to ensure you get a return on your original investments. Once you can eliminate your risk, you can play purely on profits.
13  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie should trade or not? Please give me idea. on: January 18, 2018, 07:36:46 PM
I'm a newbie too and I have found (as others have said) that it is good to develop a portfolio to start with encompassing a few different tokens for projects and technologies I have faith in. I follow the track record of those organizations from their twitters, blog posts and social networks. I check the prices and news often and have a basic idea of what's going on in the market. While you are working on that, you can look into some of the market indicators and day trading techniques. Perhaps from there it will be easier to go from long positions to short ones.
14  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you deal with loss? on: January 18, 2018, 07:11:22 PM
I suppose a lot of it depends on how big your risk is in the first place. For newbies like me, my risk is relatively low and I go along to try and forget that money was ever available to me in the first place - aka .. it isn't needed to pay bills or put food on the table. For me, dealing with loss of profit or loss of an opportunity to make profit is harder to handle.
15  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your trading strategy? on: January 18, 2018, 07:00:35 PM

Besides that, also is highly recommended to have a bot investment to forecast, advise and apply investment strategies.




What kind of bot are you using to forecast, advise and apply strategies? Do you mean a trading bot that executes trades for you?
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What happened to BTC and other ALTs? on: January 18, 2018, 05:58:09 PM
I think get used to it. There are probably many more storms and sunrises ahead as more and more the mainstream media comes to play a significant role.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: deeponion-airdrop tasks on: January 12, 2018, 04:38:29 AM
If so, what is the fastest way to rank up to a Jr. Member?

I don't think there is a quick way. To reach Jr. Member status you need 30 activity points. Every two weeks I believe you can acquire a maximum of 14 activity points by logging in and posting regularly. I was disappointed at first but it's a pretty smart method actually.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: deeponion-airdrop tasks on: January 10, 2018, 03:05:02 PM
I hear your onions have to be in the wallet which is connected to your DeepOnion member account. They recently changed the number of onions you have there from 100 to 50.


if tomorrow $onion price will be 100$(or more no matter ) airdrop tasks will be harder or it is stable and will not change....


The only thing that would be harder is for your to obtain the 50-Onions your wallet needs to participate. Aka - it would cost more to buy in.
19  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger nano S help on: January 10, 2018, 02:56:51 PM
Have you set up your ledger according to the instructions (copied seed, set pin .. etc)? Be sure that you have copied your seed somewhere safe before updating anything.


You can check your firmware version by going to Settings -> Device -> Firmware. If you are running version 1.3.1, you don't need to do anything. So if your ledger is new, chances are it is already updated.

If you don't have the latest firmware, You will have to manually update your firmware by downloading the chrome ledger manager desktop application, opening the application once installed, connecting your ledger to your computer, entering your pin, and using the ledger manager desktop application to manually update the firmware. This process will wipe your device so be sure you have a copy of your seed written down before this.

Here is an official guide:

20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrencies that you can earn by yourself (for example Steem) on: January 09, 2018, 04:57:46 PM
Gems Token.

Looks like they are setting up a microtasking similar to Amazon MTurk without extensive fees or annual membership. Earn Gems by completing tasks you sign up for and also earn trust based on your completion and accuracy rates I think.
