Upon return from my trip, I’ve generated lots of interest and speculation about what I would do. After leaving for a one year sabbatical, I called my boss and told her I wasn’t coming back. I knew exactly what I wanted to do at this point. Interesting enough, many people manifested their interest in working with me (or having me work for them… nah! Not going to happen anymore!). One project offer was particularly fascinating. It concerned cryptocurrency. The world most known cryptocurrency is …

Since I’ve written this blog, I’ve been completely transparent about my investment decisions. I always thought it would be helpful to see how others invest their money as I believe we can all learn from each other. However, since money is more taboo than sex, most people, even bloggers, are shy to bare it all. But since I believe there is no better credibility test than transparency, here I am today telling you that I’ve received my lump sum payment at the beginning of the month. The check was …
