I never understood audiobooks until a friend of mine told me he's always listening to them while driving, working, or doing whatever that doesn't allow him to actually read. And that is saves him a ton of time. He was also very shocked how people don't like audiobooks. I later started listening to audiobooks to put me to sleep. If I was reading, I had to have a light on and I wasn't really able to sleep, but if I just put my headphones in I would fall asleep in minutes. I don't really remember everything that I listened to, but I do know that I listened to Stephen Hawking's books at some point.

Every single projection I've seen (both from people in crypto and more traditional economists) shows ETH going up to and above $400. Also there are just so many ICOs with tokens running on ETH blockchain that give support to ETH...I really think that next to BTC it is and will remai the most sustainable currency.

I don't know why but I've been talking to a lot of guys who have been in crypto forever, and they don't like XRP. When I ask why, they can't give a definite answer, just that "they don't believe it'll hold on a long run". I honestly can't find anything wrong with it, and I would even consider it less risky than other alt, since some bigger exchanges are already introducing XRP trading...

This.
Just switching currencies does not make you tax liable, just cashing out.

I was always motivated by the fact I'll be able to get a better job, earn my own money and live independantly of my parents. I would hate to depend on someone other than myself to provide for me.

You should try to figure out what sells the most on Amazon or Ebay. Apparetly people are already buying it, so you'll be able to capture the ones that want to pay in BTC. I've heard people make miracles on Amazon by selling all sorts of things I'd never consider buying. But apparently there's demand...

Yeah well, earning money on bounty campaigns is just a little better than counting on a faucet. Can't really expect that it's going to pay out big. You might get what you expected, but you also might not. Especially if the ICO doesn't go well.

A lot of people will "stash" their funds in BTC when they're not trading, meaning they'll drop altcoins and buy BTC, thus increasing its price.

I guess it could last, but I don't believe the "too big to fail" idea. Regulators can get it off the market really fast and if there's a sudden drop in demand, the thing will just collapse into itself.

And this data is for the period when BTC was still under $1000 

Yes!! Remember The Name is my fav motivational song (for sports mostly).

Yep, I once met a guy who was in celebrity marketing and he said brands that advertise through female influencers sell their products out in minutes after posting, so it's definitely worth the money they invest into IG marketing. But nevertheless, celebrity branding costs enormous amounts of money, much more than advertising with girls who are just IG famous.

A prerequisite for making any money on IG is having tons of followers. No brand is going to be interested in promoting their products via an account with a couple of hundred followers. It's a plus if your followers belong to the same segment (sports fans, fashionistas...), so that brands can reach the biggest possible audience with minimum effort.

Such a huge loss. LP influenced my highschool years a lot and for a long time I really wanted to go see them live (but unfortunately never made it).
I find it extremely hard to understand how superstars can fall into such a dark place that they don't se another way out. After all, they have the means to turn their lives around completely if they decide to do so (change careers, move, get therapy...). But still a lot of them are fighting depression, which really strikes me as odd.

I  just really really REALLY hope it goes back up at some point   If it does, I'm never jumping on that bandwagon again.

There is just SO much risk associated with ICOs.
- They might be scams (well some can be spotted a mile away, but some are quite well planned).
- There's no guarantee that tokens will be listed on any of the exchanges and even if they do get listed, they can get dumped.
- If you're not failiar with the field it's super hard to figure out if the idea behind the project makes any sense (especially if there's nothing there but an idea).

Wow, haven't heard of that one since I lived with my college roommate that was studying engineering at the time. He was constantly on WA doing his assignments.

Not to be completely OT, I just use a mail client, the usual social media apps and Spotify.

I prefer Smith+Crown. They're very thorough. Also Hacked is a very good site/blog, but you have to pay subscription to read more than 1 article.

EDIT: You might have to dig a bit for the comparative analysis, I do remember Coin Telegraph doing one way back (but that one is now outdated for sure).

Sure there's money to be made on altcoins, especially if you take the time to check when the jumps are expected to happen. But it takes some patience and time to dig into it.
But ICOs are usually not worth it. There's a huge risk associated to it and it can be a long wait before you see a return.

It's not. S08 will be the last
