Two of my favorite books ever. Read Bill Mcraven's "Make Your Bed:The Little Things That Can Change Your Life." Also, I really enjoyed When Breath Becomes Air. Tuesday's With Morrie has lessons that are timeless.

I've read through every one of these threads and used the observations / advice I've seen here paired with my own research to get "into the game." It seems like Ripple, Monero, Gnosis, and Golem are the ones worth being in outside of the "big 3" (not MBB). I also bought $1000 worth of ethereum at $210 yesterday because I thought that was a good price, but it's only continued to fall... is that a long term hold or should I convert it to Gnosis or something else?
