Version 1: I read.  I am an avid reader for a reason.  It is because I love to learn. However, one topic — cryptocurrency — and the blockchain it is built on (or at least I think that’s what it’s built on) are constantly changing and confusing to understand.  Anyone else with me?  Or can anyone drop a comment and explain to me who, what, when, where, and why?

P.S. Bitcoin sounds cool @parsec!

Edit: I bought a little Bitcoin last week when it was 3095…it’s up nearly a thousand dollars within a week.  Crazy! I bought a hardware wallet which is a cool piece of technology, and did my research on the “public ledger”.  I am interested in potentially investing in some alternative coins (i.e. Litecoin) or an entirely different technology such as Ethereum.  I will keep everyone updated!

Please drop a comment about your situation with cryptocurrencies and technologies.

In the United States of American, we use Fahrenheit.  The rest of world utilizes celcius.

I recently traveled to Canada (from the United States) and I learned something new.  Can you guess what it is?  I might give you a hint.  Ok I will because otherwise I am just a crazy person writing to myself.

0 degrees Celcius is freezing and 32 degrees Fahrenheit is freezing.  So how is -40 degrees Celcius equal to -40 degrees Fahrenheit??????

Enjoy your mind game!

If you came here looking for a tale of opposites then congratulations you found one.  In the world there are two types of people, those who take risks and those who don’t.  I believe that in general people fall into one of the two categories, but Old Souls fall between them.  You may ask “How?”.  You may say that I am contradicting yourself, but in reality there is more than just risk vs no risk.  There is making an educated decision vs randomly throwing all your cards into the basket.  In general, Old Souls tend to study situations more thoroughly than the average person based on feedback from other Old Souls like myself.  For this reason the chances of having a greater reward for a smaller risk can be seen quite often from our kind.

Preparation vs Execution?  School vs Job?  Waiting vs Doing? Poor vs Rich? Sad vs Happy?  Stalling vs Creating?

All of these in my head are complete opposites of each other.  Some of the examples are better than others.  I have a friend who is an Old Soul.  He is in a large dilemma where he seems to be caught on the left side of this issue.  He is waiting.  He is preparing.   The long route with less risk, but much safer for him.

Is this human nature, or an Old Soul feature?

What should he do, take a risk and walk on the right, or choose safety on the left?

EDIT: The Future

I moved out of the country for a bit to help fulfill one of my aspiring dreams while he stayed home and actually took a step backwards I think.  In my mind, I believe that the true Old Soul nature isn’t to sit back and take your time, it is to make educated decisions that are best for you even if others disagree.  My friend an I are almost complete opposites, yet in the end we share the trait of thinking our decisions through thoroughly before we make them.  Cheers too the educated decision!

An Old Soul needs to connect with others like himself.  It is simply in his nature, true or false @parsec?  In my opinion it is true, therefore we need to find our avid readers some more old souls with some fun stories, experiences, and viewpoints to share.  Comment for any topics you want us to target when we are searching for other old souls (Searching isn’t the proper term, we don’t need to.  We simply find others like us).
