#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

Missing a train is only painful if you run after it! Likewise, not matching the idea of success others expect from you is only painful if that’s what you are seeking.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. 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. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

Work-life balance doesn’t apply to creatives.

Creative work is an irresistible magnet that makes life worth living. It’s an all-consuming obsession. Without it, your heart dies.

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.)

Being a founder is hard. Being an early employee is hard. Being a VC is hard. Being a politician is hard. Being an engineer is hard. Being a writer is hard. Being a friend is hard. Being a partner is hard. Being a parent is hard.

It's all hard.

Life is hard, and then you die.

To love is to risk not being loved in return, to live is to risk dying, to hope is to risk despair, to try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
