Today, I learnt about the word "ultracrepidarianism". It means the habit of giving opinions and advice on matters outside of one's knowledge or competence.

Read a book today and came across this foolproof investment advice, lol. "Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good stock and hold it till it goes up, then sell it. If it don't go up, don't buy it."
I often find myself reading about the disadvantages of Bitcoin Cash or Cryptocurrencies. I try to listen to the critics and see if their arguments hold up. Because I don't want to win the argument; I want to understand the truth. The truth is more valuable for me than winning some silly argument. I want to make a well informed decision and that comes from hearing both sides of the argument. In fact, I would argue that hearing from the critics (or someone with opposing…
Take dogecoin, which was created as a joke and has no fundamental value. As a recent Wall Street Journal article outlined, the dogecoin “serves no purpose and, unlike Bitcoin, faces no limit on the number of coins that exist.” Yet investors are flocking to it, for no other apparent reason than it has already gone up so much. Needless to say, things don’t go up forever. Those who nevertheless continue to invest in such an environment do so with the implicit assumption that…
It's really horrible what Israel did to Gaza. I can't even bear to watch the videos because it would be too much for me to bear. Israel complained about Hamas shooting rockets into Israel but if you force people out of their homes, of course they will become angry people. If someone steal my home, of course I would be angry at the person doing this to me. Again, I think this is why a peer to peer cryptocurrency is important for humanity. Because the government cannot print…
I feel bad for the children that has arrived to inherit the current world. These children deserves better. I hope the new generation can be better human beings in the future and see each other as human beings to work together with rather than enemies.
Small piece of advice for new Bitcoin Cash holders. If you're having panic attacks or depression over the price drop yesterday, perhaps you're overly invested. Make sure your investment sizing is such that it won't cause you these sort of mental stress. It's not worth it. And some encouraging news is that, if it can drop very much, that means it can also go up very fast. It can drop 50% but it can go up more than 100% in a day too, which Bitcoin Cash had done in the past…
Why I think Bitcoin Cash is super important for humanity is because the world is getting increasingly dystopian. When governments launch their own digital currencies, they will be able to know exactly how you're spending every single dollar. How you spend your money should be none of their business, or anyone's business for that matter. They should not be able to profile you based on those data. The lack of privacy and increasing surveillance of common people is suffocating.…
I like the story of Kim Ung-Yong. I read about him few years ago and today I was thinking about the subject of intelligence and this story comes back to mind. Kim Ung-Yong is a genius. He was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records with the highest IQ. At only 6 months old, he started to speak. Two months later, he already understood algebra. When he was 2 years old, he was fluent in 4 languages – Japanese, Korean, German, and English. At the time, his IQ is at 210.…
