It depends on what you want out of life and what your dreams are. The past can have a tendancy to bring back the negative sides thats for fuckin sure. If your active in sports it can defaintly help to create more positive thinking.

I am suprised that so many recommends subtitels for english viewing content, you will learn way more english without using subtitels. Look up the teaching company it could expand things. If you live abroad or have in the past and have studied english it can easily become an obsession because it dominates on so many aspects of the world today, it can also overtake your first language depending on how you get addicted to it.

Travel or live longer periods of time in an english speaking country will also of course speed things, english will always be the dominant language in the world because of its rich content. The most difficult thing can be getting rid of accent area. Listening to vocal songs with good lyrics will help a lot in learning new words and meanings. Through certain movie and tv genres you will find a lot more varied english content. The americans have a tendancy to get hung up on how the R's and how a foreigner uses them, canadians not so much. Have never really noticed this with the british.

Playing certain types of video games will also of course be the fastest way you can learn more english, roleplaying games have a tendancy to crate a much more expediant fashion to the learning english overall. Games like Mass Effect, the Witcher series, fallout, elder scrolls, or the final fantasy series you can learn a lot, any roleplaying game that has a lot of character interacton and good stories will also generate a richer understanding.

It comes down to a differnt timeframe for him, the new emerging markets will be what will interest him the most. For this person it has become routine to do the unexpected. For many people they cant handle it when certain indivduals think outside the traditional aspect of operation. His knowledge and imagination had an exponential growth during his early 20's.

Visit Bern City, Switzerland. Bern is the most beautiful tourist spot in the world which is also the capital of Switzerland. The uniqueness of this city is it has many ancient buildings built in the year 1100-1700s. One of the famous buildings in the city of Bern ie Bern Cathedral. Bern Cathedral was built with a gothic design in the 1400s.

This place for its history & intellectual achivements. It defaintly has been through its share of transitions.

Germany can have a lot to offer in both Berlin & Munich. Fulpnes has a lot nice outdoor options as well as Whistler. The colors in Quedlinburg are quite unique for its medival times.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto in infancy on: August 13, 2018, 05:22:59 PM
The crypto media in my opinion is extremely unmature & unbalanced today. The media creates to much extreme hype that other people need to find alternative sources to the first information that was provided  to them because of this the adoption will take even longer. Schools like high schools, colleges, & university's can help inform and spread knowledge about crypto but it this will help to a limited extend. Information for each year is moving at such a fast pace that schools as they exist today just cant keep up with the crypto space.

New schools needs to be built up from the ground up if it wants to become more compatible with this space that's the reality. For the current moment people will benefit a lot more if they organize into larger group. The event that recently took place at UofA would be to large of a group, a group with about 15-20 is a great amount. If more people started to see how different these times are compared to the early .com days maybe more people might become more patient. How can the crypto scene learn more from the .com days a, did try themselves to create a net currency but people during those days said why do we need this.

Younger people are a lot more excited & enthusiastic about this tech but its gonna be harder to convince older people. The crypto adoption will no doubt create a bigger split between the young and the old in terms of the interest of actually using it. Learning & following the crypto scene is quite time consuming for the individual no doubt. On coincap there are very few projects that think about taking decentralization to a grand scale.

7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which european countries are best for cryptocurrency startups? on: August 03, 2018, 08:05:42 PM
To my knowledge Switzerland is the best country for Cryptocurrency from continental Europe. but in addition to Switzerland of course there is another country that also receives Cryptocurrency well.

Switzerland has many great things but its many area's are heavily bugged down because of the politics in Bern. Lets say your entrepreneur in Zurich you own a bar before you even become profitable you will be doing a lot tax reporting to Bern and then I mean a lot. The crypto valley has potential but it is nothing more but a hype word right now, the real reality is really different if you experience the place. The hotspots for startups I would say is Germany I suggest searching around. The french are defiantly getting creative in the startup scene by buying up abandoned places.

This space can learn a lot from SV if it studies its history and adapts it to the crypto scene. Think about it the reason that people likes to live and work in SV is because it has that startup feel atmosphere. It has great media reporting on the many aspects that goes on. If someone said to me what is a huge problem in Silicon Valley now then its diversity Europe can tackle this in new ways, diversity can become a lot better but it want ever be perfect. Because of Europe's old history it has a lot of abandoned real estate around in its many countries where it can heavily cut down on expenses in the early startup days.

Because of Silicon Valleys rising costs what are they doing many are moving down to LA or Texas. In LA venture capital has gotten a lot better after its 10 year investment. In other states in the US places they will defiantly be a lot more cautious with throwing money around besides SV of course. Yes SV has been heavily overconfident of there dominance they have been sleeping quite a lot probably to long. The way they watched the world in the 90's and the early 2000's was like staying wired 24/7. If Europe really wants to start unleashing that decentralized startup magic it needs a startup culture and that does not exist yet, I would more say its in a massive testing phase now and saying to itself fuck is this really us can we do this. One thing that Europe needs is a massive gathering like the burning man, it needs to know that its has an identity in the tech scene.

One thing that's defiantly dangerous is how a lot of people react to fake news in this space and rush in an expedient way and do something stupid with there crypto. Once the crypto media starts maturing more then only then can think progress more. There is just way to much hype dancing around that to many people get immersed into this dancing that they forget reality. Many people exited this space in Q1 of this year, they where more interested in becoming the next Richie Rich I guess.

Privacy is not stressed enough in crypto world! Every information is made public. No real working app can be built until the privacy problem is solved!

I really don't understand what you are trying to drive at. If you are talking about bitcoin is not anonymous, per se, its more of a pseudo-anonymity. There's a lot of privacy coins out there like Monero, Verge or Zcash.

And as far as bitcoin, privacy only because a problem is you used to scam people or bought something in the darkmarket. They can trace you back because of blockchains. Other's used tumbling services, but I think if you don't exploit bitcoin's sort of anonymity issues then I don't see it as a big hindrance to anyone in my opinion.

To simplify it privacy is more of an important issue now then scaling.

Its becoming a pretty common pattern now this year with people in high places that they use the same expressional behavior to spread there bias as there counterparts do.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk accept BTC for Tesla! 🔥 on: July 30, 2018, 09:53:54 PM
I would advice to read and do research on this person more if one wants to get his attention he has been through many cycles. Knowing the right words to use will defiantly get things moving thing in the right direction. All in all Musk works with a passion and drive that is pushing tech to new extreme heights unheard of before.

https://www.quora.com/How-did-Elon-Musk-work-for-100-hours-a-week-for-more-than-15-years

Elon is well known within his circles of his ups and downs. Back in 08-09 when BTC was nothing more but a future sci-fi fantasy dream this guy was using his last millions to keep Spacex & Tesla afloat. It was reported back in March that Elon had started researching crypto & blockchian in general, I think he has been following this space for a lot longer because he sees a hole new structured economy emerging that is more compatible then the existing one with his vision. My guess is when this tech starts to mature more it will take centre stage and help fuel the the emerging "space based economy".

Very interesting book:
Elon Musk and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Alex Vance.

12  Local / Italiano (Italian) / Re: I am going to visit Rovereto, the Bitcoin capital of Italy. Suggestions? on: July 30, 2018, 07:18:55 PM
Not to long ago I visited Zug in Switzerland was not really impressed. The place looks very promising after what I have been reading, one might get a different perspective with street view with whats there. I have never been to Italy before, I have been interested in its culture for some time though. The Christmas markets in this location looks spectacular.
