You should give "The Shape of Water" a try. It's a fantastic story about a woman who falls in love with an otherworldly being.

Review: In THE SHAPE OF WATER, mute Elisa (Sally Hawkins) works nights as a cleaning lady for an aerospace research center in the early 1960s. She and her talkative best friend, Zelda (Octavia Spencer), start cleaning one of the rooms and discover some kind of non-human being (Doug Jones) in a tank full of water. Finding herself drawn to him, Elisa keeps visiting, bringing him hard-boiled eggs and playing music. But since the cruel, vicious Colonel Strickland (Michael Shannon) violently treats the creature as an enemy, Elisa decides to break him out. She enlists the aid of her loyal next-door neighbor, commercial artist Giles (Richard Jenkins), and is unexpectedly helped by scientist Hoffstetler (Michael Stuhlbarg), who doesn't want to see the creature killed and dissected. With the creature living in her bathtub, Elisa realizes that she must free him. But does she have enough time? And what's the secret of their mysterious connection?

Bitcoin will be simply played by bears in market with price range of $7k to 8.5k until bulls doesn't enter in the market.Many analysts stated bitcoin price when it was surging like a rocket but this fuel isn't enough to stop downward inclination and rebounding to the previous level of $20k

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Based on previous years records and based on network trends, I am guesstimating within 8 months. Here are a few qualitative reasons:

  1. The last major crash was 2014 and took 2+ years to recover. The network of users were much smaller than and they didn't get half as much press as in 2017 & 2018. News travels much faster these days.
    Also there are many more people to enquire information on.
  2. Ease of buying into bitcoin is much easier now than ever.
    Many countries didn't have exchanges back in 2014. Now there are many local and global exchanges and the buy-in requirements / barriers to entry are much lower than ever.
  3. The relative stability. The last time there was a major crash, the value dropped from USD1000+ to a few hundred.
    Now, very few people expect it to go below USD7k if at all. The longer it stays above USD7k the greater the trust people will get in it.
    At one point, the general public will feel more confidence to get in again.
  4. The technological improvements. With the introduction of technologies related to higher security (Segwit) and performance / lower fees (Lightning Network LN) the bitcoin of today is far superior to that of 2014.
    As the adoption of LN grows and improves technologically, it is very likely that merchants will start to get into bitcoin over the counter.
    We are talking about 1 second transaction times with fees close to 0.

It starts when you want to consume something, say a hamburger or nice pair of shoes. Once you buy that meal or pair of Nike's you get rewarded with satisfaction. That sends a message to your brain that it's good to consume things and becomes stronger the more you consume.

I wish, and I'm one of the lucky ones, I average 4 hours a night, and I usually hate that I have to do that.
I have a trick that can get you through several days if you are working on a project etc. Edison?? used it when working on projects. I call it the Rock and Bucket.
Basically, when you have worked all you can and need some sleep, Get a Rock and a Metal Bucket. lie down on a couch with the rock in your hand hanging off the side of the couch over the bucket. When your body relaxes enough that your hand drops the rock, just up and you are usually ready to go for another 8 to 10 hours.

There's actually some science behind it but don't want to do that here. Of course, most people are going to say you need way more sleep than is really necessary.

No definitly not! Sleeping is not also for being tired but also for body-recovery, processing emotions by dreams (you dream every night!). I was also looking for an answer but there isn't any.

Sounds strange! We want to find the alternative to sleeping. Suppose scince would find a way to do it but will it be satisfying. The answer is nope.
Today people wander around the world to find a refreshing moments. But nothing better than The natural sleeping. Sleeping after tiredness.

Either create something that others are passionate about such as many large brands (Disney, Nike etc..) or have a child. Also by inventing something new or innovating on something old but putting a new twist on it it may carry on even after you are gone. If you capture the hearts of the people with your goals and ambition it is easy to keep your legacy living. The only problem is later on it may not be what you imagined it to be, it could be better or or it could be worse depending on what the next person wants their legacy to be.

You can set goals for yourself but FOMO (fear of missing out) is always around the corner. Try to investigate what a coin can be worth. Not in terms of value per coin but the marketcap. For example I give you Steem. It contains services like Youtube, Facebook-like, Reddit, Soundcloud and many more. If you add all marketvalues of that companies together you will easily reach 100B plus. Steemit is not even 1B at the moment so it is very lickely that Steem will raise substantially.

If you are a technical trader try using 3 indicators which you master. If 2 out of 3 indicators tell you that the market will reverse, buy-in or exit!

Evaluate your current situation. Plan out the best options that align with your life goals and future and pursue the one you know or is most likely to get you there. The risk also depends on the people around you and what you are responsible for.

You will have a severe lack of alertness, even missing 1.5 to 2 hours of sleep can cause your brain to function much more slowly. Your memory can be impaired because your brain has used up all its energy. You will become stressed out because you are restricting your body from an essential function , similar to when you are hungry. This can lead to mood swings and overall frustration causing problems with not only yourself, but the people around you. Your body will feel weaker, I actually just experienced this the past night i missed about 2-3 hours of sleep and my body did not feel as strong as it usually does and my workouts were lacking. You increase your chances of getting into accidents on the road. Also from personal experience, I have nodded of in many situations on long drives only to realize i was still on the highway but don't know how I got to that specific point.

Although people say to be successful there are gonna be days where you will miss sleep I think the opposite. If you sleep well then you can more efficiently and effectively use the time in your day, your concentration and energy will be up.

I think there is no general meaning of life. You can create your own meaning really. There does not need to be any type of written end goal for human beings. Think about what you live for everyday or what you want out of your life, and there you have it. That is your meaning of life.

Some people strive to be great philosophers and gain worldly knowledge to pass on and create a legacy while others live for the weekend parties at some club.

Because you have built a certain persona around yourself that you may or may not like. And would rather see it improved upon or remain untarnished. Some people do not care what others think and go on living life as they please , this may be inspirational to others but can also come off as unrefined or brutish to another group of people.
Sometimes it is good to react because you are able to present yourself in the correct light or how you want to be perceived rather than how someone else's perception about you is. In the case of wrongfully accused, their entire lives are turned on their heads and ruined along with their reputation for something they may have not even done. They could be a great person but looked upon differently because of where they were at a certain time or how they dress.

I think every name has a meaning and its own story behind it. The love of our loved ones is connected with our name.

Sarcasm is only an issue if you have something like borderline, autism or just are very insecure. Sarcasm can be hard since some people are very realistic with their sarcasm.

You can do several things:

  1. give them the answer based on their sarcastic questions.
  2. Give them advice
  3. Just ignore them
  4. be sarcastic yourself.

Why do we hope to gain? Because when we travel there are so many new experiences so we may hope to learn something new.

What do we hope to gain? New and rare situations, landscapes, cultures, languages to reshape the statue of our mind into something more elaborate. We may hope to be inspired from what we see, whether it be a poor farmer living a happy simple life or dining at a once in a lifetime $2000 dollar dinner.
We hope to gain experience and knowledge in order to later process it and shape a life out of it.

It is very difficult to keep focus now that we have such an information overload. Everywhere you look someone is trying to feed information into your brain. I believe that if you can stay calm and know what is currently important , take deep breaths and focus you will gradually train your brain to think this way.
Even now, I have many tabs open and before even finishing this post, I wanna click on one of them and see the latest updates. You need to compartmentalize what you are doing and not let anything in until you complete your task.

It is difficult but very possible, just gotta keep trying.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Yes, you are right. There are lots of distraction in the outer world, just turn inward. Meditate and keep calm yourself.

I guess when you feel something in your gut , you can take advantage with it because it is something at your core communicating with you. Like if you feel like you should take the job opportunity you may be more inclined to do better there because it aligns with something within your soul and just feels right. Even though it may not be the most rational decision at the moment you can make it work to your advantage and just go for it.

On the other hand going by your gut when there is nothing to back it up , say ,when you really think someone stole something but aren't really sure might not be the best idea. I have one accused someone of stealing something from me at a party just because I had a gut feeling he did but when I went back home and looked it had just fallen from the top shelf and was on the floor under some clothes.

I was separated from my biological mother when I was 2 years old, and then placed in foster care. A few years later I was adopted by the same family that took me in.

I felt a gap of some sort growing up since I knew I was adopted and later moved to the Phillippines when I was 24 years old. After that, I got married on my 25th birthday (in the Philippines) and became a part of my wife's family.

I never met my biological father, I don't have very many memories of my biological mother, and I didn't feel that connected with my adopted parents growing up, so my wife's parents played a great role in being my first "real parents" (or so it seemed at the time).

I used the love I have for my wife to love them too, and after loving everyone in their family, I realized how much my adopted parents love and loved me. They were my first real parents!

Now I love my adopted parents and my in-laws, including both mothers as if they were my own, real and biological parents.

P.S. I was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area of the United States.

Underdog's are usually more relatable to people than the untouchable champ who already has his followers and reputation. The champ is always this golden shining presence while the underdog has something to prove.

It can be a few things. People think the underdog made it up to this point because they worked harder than anyone else and struggled doing it so they deserve their spot at the top.

People may be jealous or tired of the current top position holder and want to see him dethroned. They want to see change or see something exciting.

It invokes a sense of satisfaction and a spike of emotion when the underdog finally gets his day.

I think it's mostly due with people who really don't understand cryptocurrency. i think they treat it like a casino rather than a steady long term investment. if you want short term investments that you don't really believe in and just want to speculate on. Try traditional investing or gambling. its much more safe. If people believe in the direction and purpose of crypto, they would not panic at every market move.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

There any many factors leading to a current downturn,

  • Gaining price to fast in a short period of time, all markets need corrections to sustain growth and reduce volatility.

  • Launch of futures markets added a lot of liquidity from alternative markets with great liquidity and a bias to bitcoin leading to a mentality favoring short positions.

  • The hype last year which caused tens of thousands of inexperienced Investors to rush in trying to profit in the short term, selling higher than they bought.

  • inexperienced investors investing in altcoins losing 90% of investments and blaming bitcoin and selling all.

  • Printing of 100's of millions of Tether artificially accelerated rise.

  • Cost to use bitcoin network increased drastically on bitcoin cash lunch due to the network being spammed with dust transactions from thousands of bitcoin cash address and lacking the means to mitigate until segwit was adopted which rejects spam and increased efficiency dramatically reducing costs to under a $1.

For a market to be alive it has to understand both up trend and the down trend. If you are confused if it is right descision to stay in the market then it is the right time for you to exit from the market. A confused mind will not work well in the market.

There was a hack at a smaller crypto-exchange. Everyone is in panic now but it will recover short-term. It is painfull however I will not be concerned much since value was way too high past year. Look at this as a correction or a buying-opportunity.

No, The answer to this question is never.
No two person in this world can love each other equally. The reason is simple you cannot measure love. Love is an emotion which is driven by personal experience and experience will differ from person to person. What you might have experienced from your kid is not necessarily having the same effect on the kid. Suppose you have taken your kid to a garden where you both of you had a healthy and hearty conversation and both of you will change after this incident. Because this experience will change the dynamics between you too and thus changing the emotions and finally comes the "Love". This goes for all the relationship.

Now some may say that the parental love is not that kinda love. and is unconditional. To which I disagree because unconditional love does not exist. Do get me wrong, I am a true believer in Love but the term unconditional does not fit anywhere. In fact, all the other adjective used in along with the love does not apply, True love, Pure love etc.. Love is love and it is either there or not. Coming back to the unconditional love. There are conditions which are overlooked, that' s all.

Regards
@inuke.

Just Love and be Loved

This is the perfect time to buy and hodl. No one knows where the bottom is, but you'd be picking up value from the bargain bin.

No, it's to early in this space to draw a conclusion and walk away. Looking at all the signs from institutional, non retail, investors there are billions of dollars waiting to be invested in crytpo. Look at a company like Coinbase. They are not acquiring other companies and building new platforms to just throw money away. They see the herd is coming. Just hold tight.

Ofcourse, hundreds of people give up crypto every day, but also hundreds people get faith in this everday and balance is kept yet

Nope, still in cryptos ... not selling a thing. This moment now is truly the FUD. It's really weeding out those who are super weak -hearted. If anyone goes back in time to other years when Bitcoin and the general crypto market was down for long time ... this is normal. These down periods are normal. People just have short-term memory.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

You clearly havenโ€™t been in the crypto scene at all if you think that it is time to throw the towel and give up due rock the value. Just because crypto was over hyped and ran up in numbers and is now being corrected doesnโ€™t mean crypto is dead. Thats like literally saying that if the stock market hit recession we sGould firstly get out of the stock market, and second never ever touch the market again. Anything that goes up in life has to go down, and if you look at a year to date chart you can actually see that crypto is still near the same that it was last year at this time.

It is difficult to keep the faith with all of the controversies surrounding cryptocurrencies and the consistent price declines that we've since about January with some small rebounds that lasted an extremely short time. My advice would be to pick a few that you understand well and believe in, if you then decide you want to stay in, you should understand that it's a long term investment and all investments have ups and downs. Nothing in this world consistently increases in value without ever going down as well. It's the nature of any free trade market. When markets are low, people tend to buy and hold, when markets are high the experienced investors will look to sell while the less experienced investors will think they're missing out on something extraordinary in generally buy in at the higher levels only to see the prices drop as the more experienced investors start to sell and realize their gains. Hang in there, stick with it through the down times, and at some point if you remain liquid you might just find yourself in a better position. I've also noticed slightly that since the inception of cryptocurrenciess it does seem that it runs about a 3 year cycle where there's some significant down times but then after a few year period there tends to be a significant jump in comparison to the usual carry values.

ย Given up on cryptos? OFCOURSE NOT!

Be patient and HODL as much as you can. Donโ€™t sell BTC or other crpytocurrencies at these low prices. It is only a loss when you sell and realize the net losses.ย What is certain is that in the long run, the prices will bounce back and shoot up. Probably in a series of quick and sprint bull-runs. The concept of "bull" and "bear" market is not applicable here in the traditional sense.ย 

Find something else to do instead of refreshing the CoinMarketCap.com website for the cryptocurrency prices every 5 minutes.

As a new Steemit user, should I be avoiding powering up?

I have received delegated Steem Power, as a new Steemit user. When I use some of the Steem I earned to power up, the delegation goes down so I still sit at 15 SP--- no net increase.

Is there a better way to reinvest my Steem, until the delegation goes away in a few weeks?

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

My question exactly. But without powering up, I noticed that my vote has no value. So, I guess, the only way is to power up. But am not in a hurry.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

I'd power up for sure. At least in the begining until you get a decent SP amount.
Get your strategy right and go for it :)

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Steem invests in a new user. As the new user earns steem or steem power, the delegation is slowly withdrawn. from my experience, it is better to lease some steem power and upvote your posts and comments till you make a decent amount and have your own steem power. It took me months to understand that without being able to vote at least 0.01 cents, you make nothing out of it. Commenting is another way to make some sp. Write meaningful comments and others will vote you and the interaction also helps a lot. All the best

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

I'd suggest you power up as fast as possible. Better if from your post reward. The benefit of staked steem power outweighs what little liquid Steem you choose to withdraw.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

You get more "power" on the platform with more SP. More bandwith, more voting power. Voting power can be used to build your community buy passing out votes. It is a complex system but you get a annual rate on SP.

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

My suggestion is to power up your steem as you get it. This increases your voting power. I help teach a class on discord in steemschools that teaches the basics of steemit and would like for you to attend a session. The are held every day and are free classes. https://discord.gg/TaZFW5r

We win together!

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

But the problem is, right now it doesn't increase my voting power, because the new-user delegation is decreased by exactly as much as my power-up. So instead of being at 15.1 SP I'm still at 15 SP.

How long until decentralization becomes the mainstream in internet?

Now with the rise of blockchain, we have decentralized apps like Steemit and Musings.io (which is great!) How long do you think it will take before a majority of the apps and services in the internet becomes decentralized?

ย  ยท ย 6 years agoย 

Email took 1996 - 2004 to become mainstream in all countries.. Keeping in mind that for Email to become mainstream it first had to penetrate internet connectivity, which is not the issue now. So we can probably half the email mainstream adaptation time. I would say in around 5 years decentralisation could become the mainstream of internet.

If Musing can get a group of good users to provide content and answer questions I think it can be just as good or even better than Quora since there is a possibility for a huge incentive. People will provide quality answers because those are the ones most likely to be upvoted rather than trolling (of course these may be upvoted too if they are funny enough). If we can build a community that wants to help this budding site grow it can be immense.
I see at this point there may be a few barriers to entry as people do have to wait for a steem account after signing up and people are not as familiar with this concept. But once it is out there and people figure out what this platform can do, it really is a great idea.

It doesn't have to, it can be much more. Quora is just an intelligent platform gathering intelligent people to answer questions. Musing could be much more, but it does need to bring together dedicated people who enjoy a sense of educated and elevated community.

Trolls are the number one enemy of such a platform, since the number of people who answer questions will avoid stepping into an offensive area.

There are people and people and today, I am writing here. A little less than an hour ago I answered on Quora :D

So while it might be or might not, the steps are in place and content creators are in both places.
