    Mark Cuban: Guide to Getting Rich... just terrible.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm a pretty big fan of Mark Cuban. He's an outspoken personality, a philanthropist, and has a take-no-prisoners attitude to business. The guy is lauded for his successes, but he has taken some massive risks in his career. He put it all on the line to get where he is. Of course, we all know...

    My Progress

    EXECUTION 
    Hey man, I'm not a publisher by any means, but I am a frequent purchaser of books (both ebooks and standard books). I really, respectfully, think you should invest $50 on a freelancer to design you a better cover. Book covers are huge in the ebook marketplace. I'm sure I've missed out on a few...

    Startup Progress Launched May 1 2016

    EXECUTION 
    This is 100% the strangest thread I've seen on this forum. It's like a weird schizophrenic soap opera.

    First business endeavour, journey to launch and beyond

    EXECUTION 
    Hi all, I've been on the forum for a few months. For the last two years or so I've been thinking of idea after idea and never getting down to action. In the last few days I've changed that, slowly but surely putting the pieces together for my first e-commerce business. I cannot stress enough...

    Work is for Slowlaners

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    Haha, my car is actually pretty nice and I do get compliments on it. I think just the name "Honda Civic" is sarcastically associated with the classic, non-flashy/lame car that everyone buys, even though the current lineups are really sleek-looking (and not super cheap anymore either).

    Work is for Slowlaners

    HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANE 
    I went out and met a girl for a first date not long ago. The topic of "what do you drive" came up. When she found out I drove a (almost new) Honda Civic, she (good-naturedly) made fun of me. She drives an Audi. Which she financed at "a great rate, with 0% down, so it was an easy decision." I...

    The $170BN CRYPTO Industry

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was referring to when the backlog is especially high (tens of thousands unconfirmed, usually during ATH periods) and people send with minimal fee and the transaction gets "stuck" for days because it's so congested. 2 weeks was an exaggeration for effect; I've only heard...

    The $170BN CRYPTO Industry

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    This is exactly what other coins are aspiring to do, and they're all ethereum-based. OmiseGo (OMG) is a coin that got mad-hyped (and over-priced) but looks extremely promising. They've partnered with McDonalds Thailand to integrate crypto-payment in the future. Bitcoin as it is right now is...

    I am far from an expert in mining though; I did my research a while back and decided to stay far away from it. I'd browse reddit for some other ideas. Crypto communities on there are pretty good.

    There's definitely more room for mining in ether than in bitcoin because the supply isn't capped. The downside is that it's worth far less. A big point of consideration is the cost of electricity where you live. If you're mining, say, 3$ per day worth of ether but it's adding $150/month to your...

    The $170BN CRYPTO Industry

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    There's a lot of chatter in this thread about bitcoin and how it's "not a currency" and "not often being use like a currency." Bingo. Bitcoin sucks. It's the goliath-sized pet rock of cryptocurrency. It has ZERO smart technology or capability. It has less use than gold; you can't even make...

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    I wasn't implying that it would grow like the internet, but I used the internet as a basis example to highlight where I think crypto is at in it's integration.

    Supply is so finite that most miners no longer bother. It's almost universally recommended to just buy from an exchange.

    Hey man. The truth is that mining is, essentially, a thing of the past. Basically, mining is the use of processing power to attempt random algorithmic equations and hope you get a coin. As of now, you'd be looking at a $50,000+ up front investment in computers/processing power and a monthly...

    CRYPTO INVESTING 
    I posted this on reddit a little while ago in a thread discussing "where we're at" in the age of crypto: **** If the stages are this, in comparison to the internet age: Pioneers (e.g. buying stock in google in the 90's) Early adopters (those first cool friends with an internet connection and...

    What are your thoughts on "Privilege"?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Completely agree. It's so much more than just a bad up-bringing. People who had it this bad are also likely to lack the development (of intelligence, creativity, focus, etc) they require from the nurturing process. Without role models to teach you and set an example, it can be near-impossible to...

    What are your thoughts on "Privilege"?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I mean, yeah, it definitely exists. But it works both ways. I grew up comfortably upper-middle class to responsible parents living well in the slowlane. Did they tell me to work hard? Yes. Did I get an allowance simply for being a child? No. My up-bringing wasn't exactly difficult. I never...

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Hey OP, First off, thanks for the thread. Great info and I'm impressed with your story. Should be great things to come. My question here is a bit of an obscure one. You got the goods delivered to your house, and then (smartly) drove them over the border to ship them to a fulfillment centre. Are...
