Like title says.
Prefer reputation to discount. Everything is negotiable, but person with lower reputation sends first or I do 50/50 or we do some sort of escrow.
Kinda need this done in the next few days so willing to pay a premium for that.

Payable in crypto, either we use escrow or I send after I confirm it works and have goods in hand. Am going to buy the new iPhone and depending on how much I get, a new case and Apple Watch.
I guess either comment below or dm if you have Apple codes. I can use up to 8 on a purchase but I prefer bigger cards.

This is funny. I have someone that's messaged me privately and has asked to remain confidential telling me the exact opposite.
I like UNIC as it has the first mover's advantage so I resonate with your thinking that it will be the standard which others are compared to simply because it was the first in the space.
I also think people are understating the fact that Andreas is one of the speakers - that alone would be resume worthy.
Indeed we do all gotta eat.
I do want to remain in Korea likely - if you read what they're doing with the Digital New Deal, you'd understand why.
The one from Kentucky is a contender I did see but it's a bit expensive and not well recognized me thinks.
Perhaps I'll go onto LinkedIn and talk to UNIC alumni.
Hmm, that is funny indeed that he would PM you instead of saying things out in the open. I can't think of why anyone wouldn't want to share actual experience if it would help others, now I'm curious to what they said to you! I actually haven't spoken to any alumni, but the people working at UNIC. This was in 2018 though, so yeah, you'd definitely be better off speaking to former students AND one or two people from the faculty itself. They're definitely understating the Andreas factor. I'm not just a fanboy, I happened onto him after spending a lot of time looking for good educators (and I found a lot!). Respectfully, many are decent, some are very good but Andreas is unique in that he actually speaks without agenda/motivation, other than to further Bitcoin, at least IMO. It's like having some of the forum stalwarts here who quietly go about their business teaching and educating. Anyway, yes, I hope you make the decision -- myself, I also have to complete a degree next year (delayed by Covid) and I was definitely considering another to complement it and UNIC was and still likely is my eventual aim. P.S. I don't know much about the RoK situation except from what I read in the news, but my partner works in the other world of traditional finance and they seem to get conflicting views about how the goverment seems to be treating blockchain businesses, or crypto in any case. Good luck! Thank you for an answer that actually provided value and wasn't some fluff for a sig campaign lol. You can take a look at what they're doing with the digital new deal - they've specifically said they plan to use blockchain for real estate transactions, governance, etc. It's INSANE (official PR from their ministry of finance). On the other hand the tax on crypto gains is ridiculous so yeah... very conflicting. I'm doing more research regarding UNIC. Basically the guy (who also was a legendary member, so give him some credit) said he was former student, and saw that interns and TA's were creating most other material, and doing most of the vetting and not much academic work was being done at the university. Which is horrific to hear. Granted this is one student's experience, and could most definitely be falsified but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm still looking, and if honestly nothing is better, either I'll land a full time job somewhere in crypto and get the "personal development" paid or get this masters in the next few years or so (i haven't even graduated college yet so still some time). |

The UNIC one, really. Don't look any further, at least not until one of the other Top 200 unis (or whatever QE similar list you might want to believe in) completes a full curriculum (some Ivy Leagues offer a course or two but none a full programme). I've had contact with the people from there too and they're proper =)
Those employers already in blockchain already view UNIC as legitimate and, as far as educators go, there aren't any better than Antonoupoulos. They also have a sample course you can start for free already to get a taste of what it's like. UNIC isn't a ranked place, but their MSc is and will be the benchmark for many years to come.
Personally, I've despised the way employers still insist on ranked accreditations, and I'm en route to completing a Master's just to get better job prospects, reluctantly paying a lot of money to get a degree from a "ranked" place... so I know where you're coming from and why the need to get something that employers will look at.
It's one thing to fight the system, but we all gotta eat. Good luck!

So you want a Masters degree at Crypto/Blockchain?What's the point?To me,having practical experience is way better than having a diploma. In the country where I live (in the EU),there's no such thing as a Masters program for Blockchain technology.The universities simply don't care about this technology. If you ever apply at some cryptocurrency company,the boss won't ask you about a Masters degree in Blockchain technology.  Did... you even... read the first line of my OP? The degree isn't for me, it's more for employers. And not employers in crypto - ones in traditional industries. The reasoning behind the first one is simply the speakers there, namely Andreas. Is that Andreas Antonopoulos? yes |

Probably most of the builders and investors in cryptocurrency-related businesses and platforms mostly have one thing in common — an entrepreneurial background; so probably an entrepreneurship course? Can't say for sure though as I haven't taken such course. Even if you don't want to focus on the nontechnical side though, getting the technical basics will definitely benefit A LOT. I personally put myself in this category too(with more focus on the economic/business side), and not like super technically inclined like some of the people here; but I think I know enough of the technicals to explain things to the laypeople. Also, not economics in general, but probably also look into Austrian economics. Check out Mises: https://mises.org/I'm fairly entrepreneurial don't worry - I've been doing side hustles since high school. And yeah, I know the basics as well. I wrote for news outlets for years - explaining things in layman terms was like 95% my job LOL. I'm working on doing a bootcamp of some kind just so I can get into more technical writing. Ah Austrian economics - thanks for the link. I'd have no idea what to expect when applying for one of these jobs, I've seen @welsh giving information on some jobs like with blockchain explorers so it might be an idea to hit him up (I think it was him anyway).
Continental Europe (the part of Europe that doesn't have the UK) is probably a good place to look as well as South Korea and Japan if you want a masters in a blockchain application project. If it's Andreas Antopolopos I'm not sure how much he knows technically (could be completely wrong) but if you're interested in applications you could check innovative chains like ethereum to see if they have anyone interesting (on their github who also teaches) ...
If there are companies you don't like also they might be good to contact and ask for a recommendation as what they'd expect (like some banks or medical firms) because their information may be valuable and you don't have to deal with them again unless they ask you to and you think it looks like a good option.
Or you could talk to companies you do like since their hr probably changes every so often anyway... And instead of going down thst way you could see if they have anything in asset management or similar and try to work your way across.
In an innovative secrot I don't think you can get a job without talking to those hiring for what they'd be interested in. A lot of people hire based on very specific skills and an ability to mould people to what they'd like them to focus on.
I'll have to find this @welsh character you speak of. And yeah, I literally talked about South Korea in the OP. Thanks for the other places - specifically continental Europe. Asking HR is good too. Thanks |

Born in PH so Filipino, raised in USA so English native, and lived in KR so I know some Korean.
I've had to "study" Korean and what worked best for me was the "Fluent Forever" method.
It's as neurology based method and it really works - google it.

I ALREADY know someone will say to "do it yourself", and I get the sentiment, but am primarily getting for employers - not for myself. Personally I want to have a masters as well - as I feel my economics degree is not enough. Basically I want to focus on the nontechnical side of cryptocurrency - so applications of blockchain, Fintech, token economics, economic policy even. I know Bitcoin is inherently a cryptographic application and it's pretty technical so I'll likely have to learn a little bit, but economics is where my interest lies. There's a few degrees out there and I've honestly only taken a look at two: 1. UNIC's Master program 2. This South Korean One - http://www.assist.ac.kr/MBA/Digital/curriculum_introduction.php The reasoning behind the first one is simply the speakers there, namely Andreas. Reasoning behind the second is a bit more deep: - I've been studying Korean for a while now, so I think it's best to play to strengths. - I'm bullish on Korea. I see Korea becoming a hub for crypto - just see what they're doing with Moon's Digital New Deal plans. Again, I know the view on academic degrees in the community is not good but EVENTUALLY there will be a need for academia in Bitcoin - so please look past that stigma if you can  Thanks in advance |

I've been doing the samething and trying to find ways as well.
$200/month is very possible with $20,000 in trading options. That's extremely safe as well.
Set one trade and there's the $200. Very little time.
You can do super safe plays with 75%+ probability of profit.
real estate is another - which others have said.
Offline businesses like
-vending machines ?
- selling products/info products and then creating a systme to remove yourself from it.
Basically anything that you can do which requires you in the beginning, and the program a way out.
I hope this helps.

Lol these "investment" instruments are the last thing you should look at when looking for "scalable/easy". Those are merely gambling(yes, even stock options). If you want something easy, probably take a look at dividend investing. Though of course, "easy" investments mostly tend to give the lowest returns. There's no such thing as a safe/easy investment that at the same time gives high yields. As for dropshipping and affiliate marketing, all those can work. It's really up to you if you can get them to work. EDIT: Any other thoughts? Dropshipping? Affiliate marketing? FB ads?
I took a look at the website linked in your profile, and no offense, since you're already demanding those rates, shouldn't you know what works well for you(and what doesn't) already? P.S. Again, I'm not trying to attack you here. No offense taken - and valid points. I guess what I meant is finding a way to remove myself from the equation - not selling my time for $. And yeah stock options is basically systemized gambling or strategic - I mean one could argue investing is gambling - it's a bet that this xyz will do well in earnings, go up, etc. That's why i asked - to source more ideas |

I'm wanting to try the digital nomad lifestyle for a while.
I'm giving myself around a year to save up the money to not only give myself a buffer, but also to hopefully use to live off the interests.
I have a 100% remote income from writing but would rather use it to further build wealth when traveling.
I'm also a photographer/videographer and am hoping to somehow find brands to shoot with, or shoot Airbnb, travel/tour companies, to help finance traveling through free stuff or pay.
For the money I'm thinking of:
- Crypto (duh). Immediate buffer in Compound or some other DeFi platform in DAI yielding.
- Additional crypto probably selling options
- Stock options
Any other thoughts? Dropshipping? Affiliate marketing? FB ads?
I know this is a little different for this forum but it never fails to surprise me with how helpful this community can be.

i dunno what to make of it. it feels super irrational. even if the jobs numbers improved last month, we're still at high double digit unemployment with stimulus measures expiring soon. i don't see the market pricing in the future drops in earnings. when will they?
the coronavirus has been overshadowed in the news cycle by the george floyd protests, but cases are back on the rise in both the USA and worldwide. the protests could speed things up in that department too. the threat of a second wave still looms heavy and the market hasn't priced it in IMO.
EXACTYL! The headlines today were "DOW up 800 points because of better than expect unemployment numbers" Economists were expecting 19% and only got 13%? In what world is THAT GOOD? How is everything this world/USA going through (pandemic, world of economic pain, rioting) justify ONLY a 10% discount from the ATH? There's literally no signs of stopping. THis rally is incredible. I want to get in but IDK if I'm too late. I 've been telling myself this for weeks I should go for it... Really kicking myself when $300 Calls for June 17 were only $80 a contract.... I would've made SO much money by now. oh well, just be glad you weren't shorting or buying puts in april like people i know.  re "too late".....a couple strong growth stocks that are late to the party but also made huge breakouts this past thursday/friday are PLUG and AMAT. there are no guarantees on this roller coaster but i think they might pull an AMZN and make a new ATH before reality sets in re the true state of the economy. interesting reading: https://www.barrons.com/articles/11-growth-stocks-that-arent-too-late-to-buy-yet-51591373760I'll definitely take a look at this - or just call it a day and do some $338 spy calls for JUne 30. |

Instead of a V shaped recover, it is going to be more like W shaped recovery. And now really even a W shape more like WWWWWWW shape because we are going to feel the hurt of all this pandemic over and over again, there will be results and consequences of it for a long time.
This is what I was really thinking... but this way past the 68% fib retracement level - we hit that around 280 if I'm not incorrect... this is literally just hysteria... i can't believe the s&p500 is back in the 3100s. less than 10% from the ATH now, insanity!  bears are getting destroyed. RIP shorters. Have you seen the moves being made lately? AAL up 60%, airliners just SOARING - it's a weird world when Buffet sold the bottom.

The Fed has made it to where holding cash is literally suicidal to your portfolio.
Literally anything is better than fiat at this point, commodity tracing assets, longing volatility, gold, stocks, etc.
A lot of companies are buying into BTC in rather big allocations (1-5%) as asymmetrical bets.
Of course, if I had to choose I would probably hold BTC or maybe ETH. Liquidity is very important to me so I wouldn't put the $ into any smaller cap cryptos rn.

Just as we feel a bit better there will be some more companies bankrupting because they couldn't handle all the debt and the recovery wasn't fast enough for them so we will all suck for a while in economy, after that we will start to recover again and there will some more companies that goes down because they handled the first going down but the second one killed them, so we will start to recover after t... well it will continue like this for a loong time, I say at least 2 years, we will only recover after a long period of nothingness.
This is what I was really thinking... but this way past the 68% fib retracement level - we hit that around 280 if I'm not incorrect... this is literally just hysteria... |
