As a maker of things I can partner with a very wide range of people to sell. The potential I see in Bitcoin for me is endless. I'm not simply earning some coins on the sides I'm building a life long career as a producer of Bitcoin goods.

There is such a thing as "dead wax". If you heat wax too much for too long, it loses of its color. It's less vivid.

Poverty suck. But as soon as you have hope, it's just funny. It's just funny to eat ramen for 6 months knowing you'll be eating all the steaks in 2 years. Hope can make most bad situation funny.

I wish I could accurately describe you how absolutely WILD that is. 288 days ago I made my first book. 2 weeks later I had a partnership with an amazing publishing house. 1 week later I had 250 books to make.
