Investing (funds, etc.):
Low risk, long term, no active management, boring
Trading (stocks, futures, crypto):
High risk, short term, actively managed, exciting
Given you lack the time (you already have a regular job), the money (no pile of capital), and knowledge of how financial instruments move, you should probably stick to investing. It sucks because it's slow and boring, but does pick up over time.
He "says" hes only giving 10 million to each of them.
Id be pretty pissed to be honest. Like its a pretty big fu to ur kids to not even give them 1% (700 mil) to split.
1% is too much?
I have a feeling this is publicity nonsense. I have a feeling that gates will make sure there is always enough money for his grandkids/great grandkids to go to private school and live comfortably. I dont know. Just because u give ur money to ur kids doesnt mean they are spoiled pieces of shit.
Bill Gate's parents were very rich, but he didn't take any money from them. He wanted to earn it all for himself. I'm sure he wants the same for his kids. But honestly if you have 10 million there's nothing left to earn. His kids could survive off of interest and retire today. People that want to retire early are pathetic.
Fuck that shit, I want to be a self made millionaire. I want to work my ass off everyday until I die. How else can you rub it in everyone's faces that you're smarter than them?
>>1312295
1) Gates and Gates's father strongly support the estate tax. They look at this through a macro (not micro-spoiled child) outlook and is likely guided by economic and philosophical thought that says concentration of extreme wealth is bad.
2) Having 10 million (i.e. 5X what the average college grad will make in a lifetime) in cash, sounds pretty fucking awesome. Not to mention the money that has already been spent on private schools, trips around the world, and so on.
3) The intangible benefit of being Gates's kid is worth billions. They (likely) can get hired for basically any non-technical job on the planet. They can't waltz into a cancer research center and do the research but they could waltz in a be a director making x00K a year.
Shit, not even being Gates's kid. If I was to simply get what my parents have (which is much smaller than the 5 million that is required to kick in the estate tax), I'd never have to do more than 10 hours a week at a minimum wage job. Paid House = no rent for me or rental income. Stocks/Cash = modest passive income.
>>1312295
OP consider killing yourself, you are an entitled faggot. You are also poor.
Gates is doing that so his kids push themselves and make their own way. 10 million is more than enough. I mean fuck look at the Donald who started with only a 1 million loan.

Hey everyone, lately robinhoods high volatility restrictions have been fucking me and a lot of people. I want to get answers before I move onto scottrade. Tweet @AskRobinhood this: Hey @AskRobinhood you should make a Twitter poll asking users "Do you want high volatility restrictions?" I think it would b helpful 4 evry1
If a good amount of people from these threads tweet this to them they might do it. Think it's a good idea and we don't lose anything.
Hi, I was reading LeFigaro this morning and they said that California's economy is now bigger than our economy in France. How is this possible when we have 25 million more people in France?
You also have 60 million more frenchmen

Absolutely nothing. Supply of new bitcoins is halved, but market supply is decreased by very little. The rate at which bitcoins are mined has very little to do with how many bitcoins are currently up for sale.
Nobody knows for sure but the price is generally expected to rise ,we could be seeing the run up to that now.
>>1312181
How will that effect mining though? It's already hard to profit from as is. If the amount of coins awarded are halved and the price is low, what incentive will there be to even mine them?

I'm a full-stack developer with considerable free time, and I'm thinking about developing apps for Ethereum. Obviously there's a laundry list of conventional services that can be duplicated using Ethereum, but I'm curious what sort of services people in the actual community would like to see -- the only caveats are that it be at least marginally profitable and that it require minimal upfront costs.
Build an asset backed token with a DAO such as digix.
Cool post m8 I'm starting my master thesis on blockchain next semester I think I will land at ethereum.
The money in bc at development now is unfortunately on private and consortium blockchains, but I think that will end once enterprise understands that public like ethereum ain't so scary afterall.
I'm researching systems that can be supported or replaced with bc. Although this is just early research here are my main areas:
- ERP for very large corporations(eg IBM, maersk, basically companies that have to manage complex economies)
- delivery dapp. Where to, by who, with drones
- literally anything to do with insurance and rental on the b2b side.
The money doesn't seem to be in public because most dapp ideas aim to remove cost for gatekeepers. That's essentially saying Napster or torrents could make a profit through donations but it's not a big market. The people willing to spend real money on blockchain are corporations who sti depend on ancient systems that they do not really see any reasonable way of innovating as of now
do you have a recommendation of the best resource to read about how Eth is better than btc, what the possibilities of a DAO are, and how to develop apps for a blockchain?
i'd like to read about them. i can't program anything yet, but i'd like to work towards this as i study. all googles just bring up opinion sites, and blogs presented as news. i can't find any educational sources and don't quite know how to narrow my search. i'd appreciate any pointers you could give.
What do you know about the masonry trade?
For example, I'm looking around at the prices of reclaimed stones; caps, quoins, coping, general ornamental architectural stone. And it seems to be very high, for example the pictures cap stones cost 650£ per pair, and are dimensioned at 70*70 cm bases roughly and 45cm in height. Now these are old and carved stones, so that's a fair bit of money.
However if any of you know about this, what is the value based on? For example, it's clear to me that cut stone is far more valuable than cast concrete, is that the main thing that affects price? Because modern cast concrete stones are multiple and far cheaper than reclaimed cut stones. But I wonder if somebody was cutting these stones from raw stone instead of casting them from concrete, would they still be worth £650 or is that value mostly in their age?
Also does anybody have any idea about the prices and the trade in purely architectural stone, cut wall, roof, chimney fluted and classical shaped style stone????
Geologist opening a marble quarry in quebec. Were getting 14$/cubic feet for architecturAl stones. Were selling rAw blocks of 18' x 4' x 4'. Production cost is evaluated at less than 2$/cubic feet.
And your price is really only dictated by the look of your stone and the current demand... Not that much about its usage. If the stone looks good, they will see if its physical qualities fit the needed usage.
>>1312020
Alright. Thanks for the post, that's good to know, but somehow I think the marble market is different to what I'm looking at. Which is more traditional stonework used in restorations and conversions in the UK.
However a further question. Not relevant in the case of Marble, but perhaps you know about it; would people pay more for a machined, modern CUT STONE ornament ( say an ornamental cap stone ) than they would for an identical modern POURED STONE item?
Afaic, poured stone and cut stone look pretty much identical, however I can imagine people paying more for cut stone for posterity's sake, I wonder if that is the case.
