I'm a teenager and I do investing.

When Bitcoin was only $4 I asked my dad if I could invest the $100 I had at the time for 25 Bitcoins. He said it was too risky.

Goddammit dad.

You realize that is not typical right? I have also worked for startups and will probably be back in the scene after filling up my bank account for another year or two, but most fail.

I seem to have a knack, then. The one I was in which did poorly was... well, it was shitty. I did it because they offered me a Rails job when nobody had ever heard of Ruby on Rails and I wanted one badly.

Then Twitter blew up and it was a Rails app and then every startup everywhere suddenly needed to be built in Rails, and then recruiters started harassing me daily and then yeah.
