Is not the definition of a revolution.
This is Revolution: noun. a forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system.
That's exactly what Blockchain technologies are doing to fiat currencies. Don't you see it? Or you're one of the idiots here that are missing out. Don't fall into collective thinking (like OP says).
You kinda live in the past homie... Is not 2008 anymore.
Very good HN very good.
250USD as in yesterday.
Not all of us are like that... What's happening here is people are butthurt cause ICOs are more successful and friendly to funders, so they took a very bad deal with the traditional investment route so everything negative against ICOs they are happy.
The HN community just like Reddit is just a bunch of children.
You're still free to give your friend 10k for a startup.
Uh? As a gift but not an investment on his company, that's illegal if you're not accredited.Is not like it doesn't happen with the regular VC cash money right? E.g. Color?
Or with regular stock market. e.g. Enron.
Clueless investors are always gonna be there.
I got from the article that Mark Zuckerberg is traveling the US to find people struggling, while a person like that serves him food every day. He's a hypocrite, no need to look for a different meaning in the article.
Somebody has never negotiated a salary... The answer is yes, a lot more, you just go "This commute is unbearable and I won't move to your stupid neighborhood so if you want me, pay me 20k more" (not a joke, I did that, for a 45 mins commute).
Just think about all the stuff you've missed out by being so closed minded and not saying it, many people will pay you more if you complain about your commute, that's a fact.
Also, you think all VC deals are fair and square? Naive.
I wonder if OP has ever question why he wants to create these startups.
I found a while ago, that I like kids, I like playing with them, I would never have one though, I see Startups as the same way, it's something you'd be stuck forever, like my JQuery Mobile based product of my own startup, I can tell you now that I get to fuck around in my free time, now I'm happier.
You need to question yourself more, are you a programmer or an entrepreneur?
(If that happened, I actually wanna see a link of it, would be fun to read that).
Buddhist, "detachment from emotions" is the thing, not "control of emotions" you cannot control something you're detached from.
Sam recommends hiding from the comments, I recommend to get rid of your ego so you're no longer affected by it.
Again, your mission is supposed to be bigger than yourself.
Should I continue?
