30 years of reading books is indistinguishable from genius.
20 years of disciplined investing is indistinguishable from winning the lottery.

#Idea; A proof-of-burn machine to convert any national fiat into a #StableCoin
-- User deposits currency notes to this machine
-- Machine checks notes aren't fake, shreds it into pieces, mints equivalent in stablecoins, credits it to the QR code shown by user
Less insulting idea;
-- Read currency note serial number
-- Mark it as "converted"
-- Keep a record of this number in mint transaction; Coinbase to user address
Tagging #bitcoin, because it could be potential on-ramp / gateway drug

It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

Stars were forming at an extraordinary rate of about 900 new Suns worth of mass per year in a galaxy (SpARCS1049).
This is over 300x faster than the rate at which our galaxy, the Milky Way, is forming its stars. (At the rate seen in SpARCS1049, all of the stars in the Milky Way could form in just 100 million years, which is a short period of time compared to our Galaxy’s age of more than 10 billion years.)
Astronomers have discovered what can happen when a giant black hole does not intervene in the life of a galaxy cluster. Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes they have shown that passive black hole behavior may explain a remarkable torrent of star formation occurring in a dista
