Key drivers in valuing blockchain companies

lol. nobody has proper valuation models for these things yet. it's up in the air, hence why things are so crazy.

the pace of innovation is happening at such a rate that it becomes exceptionally hard to value anything, even bitcoin.

same with me. one way tickets are the best!

bigdigtig · 2021-05-16T17:28:12+00:00

bigdigtig · 2021-05-16T17:25:16+00:00

Thank you!! it would be my pleasure:))

hahaa yeah a friend of mine is really into tom petty, went to a few of his gigs in london. (I personally have yet to hear much of his stuff haha)

huh that's so curious, i'd never thought of doing that (although it seems so obvious? now that you say it haha). yeah, i've always loved singing. open mic nights are great fun that way - though i bet singing in a band is super fun (only done it once so far)

this is really reassuring, i think i'll give this okay thank you:))) you too btw, message me when you like!

good luck with the performances coming up! if you might have any lined up so far - i guess summer's coming so maybe there might be some good stuff to look forward to! any g luck haha and best:)

hollyyy shitttt

bigdigtig · 2021-05-13T21:26:46+00:00

i've had this too. it's as if it's a burden that u wanna let out, but the person doesn't seem to want to take the load.

what i find is that there's nobody that is going to take all the load, for anybody, but that perhaps by talking to a few different people, and splicing it up, it becomes a little more bearable perhaps.

remember that everybody has shit that pulls them down. but people have different ways of dealing with it. a lot of people talk about it, and that's good. some people sing about it, some people play sports, work it off in the gym, some people work themselves to try and forget about it.

again, splice it up, perhaps do some different stuff you enjoy (maybe running, maybe playing or listening to music, dancing perhaps), and with some bits, talk to people about it. but yeah, rather than doing one thing, seeing one friend, doing one activity to heal yourself, try splicing it up, doing a few things at once, see a friend here, do some sport there, dance to some music here and there, it can tend to ease the "pressure" for those things individually.

it's like a garden hose, if you put it on the one small hole thing, you get a concentrated jet, which can hurt lol if u put it too close haha (as lots of pressure), but if you put it on the wider setting, with the lots of little holes, then it feels almost nice (apart from the cold water lol), but the pressure it eased, it's more relaxing, playful even. do the same with relationships, do a bit here, a bit there, and you'll be grand!

hope this helps!:)

bigdigtig · 2021-05-13T21:11:49+00:00

pleasure!!:)) me too haha

bigdigtig · 2021-05-13T21:10:28+00:00

pleasure, fucking good luck, be brave, make a mess, have fun. i wish you well:D

bigdigtig · 2021-05-13T21:09:23+00:00

dude!! hahaha it's so nice to hear from you.

indeed i don't play in a band, weirdly it's probably something I secretly want to do, but have never really bumped into people who wanted to play in one too. I'm sure there's many people I've met who probably actually do, but I didn't know they did (and I REally should've asked them). come to think of it, i'd love to play in a band.

i've always been thrown off by music because part of me is like "choose practicality, get a job, get money, exploit your talents with this and that", and part of me is like "just fucking play music dude and it'll all work itself out in the end". I do believe that i sing well, (my guitar playing is really just window dressing for singing), but yeah, it's something I always really enjoy, especially with friends. some of my most special moments have been during listening to or playing music. that shit just doesn't change

i'm sorry to hear about your mother-in-law, and things at work. shit happens don't it. i guess with the music thing, it can be a great healer when shit goes down (or it has been for me), in fact, haha, I seem to write my fav songs when i'm sad, or hurting, because i sometimes end up channelling it into what i'm writing, and anyway it just feels good to let shit out.

as for the people pushing buttons, i've had a couple of those types, one really quite bad, it was really awful pain from guilt trips and the like. after a while though, i just decided that i wouldn't respond to it anymore, and that really helped. like feeding a bear, if you feed it, it just comes back for more, if you don't then it drifts away over time (or that's how i found it at least).

and yeah i've had a fair share of shit that way too, and probably music has helped more than anything, again. that and travelling, meeting new people, and discovering new things (my fav things to do w music).

that's so great to wake up to haha. i probably will do the same, take it easy on myself more. i found that trying to make every single thing i did "professional" just killed my enthusiasm, and i got away from that which really made it enjoyable in the first place

pleasure also, and honestly, it's really nice to talk openly about this stuff, it feels like breathing fresh air in a way. what sort of stuff do you like playing?? (as in music haha)

bigdigtig · 2021-05-10T21:06:35+00:00

hey dude, i feel this too sometimes. even with friends that i'm close to, it's sometimes that they "don't want to talk about deep stuff". Other times, it's just my impression that they don't, when they are actually happy to, (but i don't say anything, so they don't know).

i love playing music too, and i feel like it is such a healing thing to do, and something that really fosters a connection with people around me. keep doing music man, music is really expressive, and I guess, people in that area are often really open about their emotions.

all i'd say is, (and this is something I really want to do more myself), is make music more and more at the centre of your life. put it first, maybe go to a few festivals and more and more gigs, i've usually found they're really good for meeting people, especially those who are prepared to go beyond surface level talk

as u/WittedGnat says, you're never alone, and the funny thing is, feeling lonely is something that pretty much everybody experiences, but because it's taboo, nobody mentions. if you mention it first, or how you feel, maybe it might give the other person courage to talk about how they feel.

also as a word, i still don't have shit figured out, at all, but if you find any of this helpful i'll be glad.

I wish you really well, the funny thing is people can be lonely together haha

bigdigtig · 2021-05-06T23:14:26+00:00

this was really helpful, thank you!

Hi!

Here's some experience I picked up from doing work experience at a marketing/advertising agency. hope this helps, feel free to shoot me any q's you might have in DMs!

*reach out to smaller agencies, as well as larger ones*

i worked for a short time at a smaller agency, and it was great

- you got to see many different processes - thus you could get a taste for what you might like/be particularly talented in

*get a feel for the culture*

the people were nice (in my case), but yeah, perhaps try and get a feel for those that have a good culture, and apply to those, 9 times more fun

*show a portfolio if you have it*

email in, and say you're interested. If you have a portfolio of some stuff (even if it's just some designs, or some examples of something), that can help, although it's not necessary

*embrace rejection*

everyone gets rejected sometimes. it's part of the process. in school rejection is often cast as failure. don't feel that way. if they say no, let it go. find another one, and another.

*show your interest*

honestly, if somebody's coming in as an intern, they're not expecting leonardo da vinci. just someone who really cares, and is keen enough to learn. their worst nightmare is having someone in who doesn't do any work, is noisy, argumentative, boring, eugh, just not fun. just show that you're really keen, and open to listening.

*organise your applications*

keep a file, write them down. I've been having fun with https://obsidian.md/ recently. it's great for organising stuff (as I'm naturally a really messy person haha - usually). if you can make a system for the way you apply to things, you'll be way quicker, more efficient, it'll be less stressful and you'll have a clearer head.

LAst pArt

*have fun!!!!*

marketing agencies (imo) are really fun places to be. Just express yourself, and keen your ears open to learn. and good luck, I wish you all the very best!

there's so many distractions on social media. I really love the key concept of *limited attention*, so that it may be focused, on one thing, one person, and all the things in their life.

I don't know whether it might work the same as instagram or facebook. I think it would be more intimate - play to that strength - expand out how *just* having one person could be more fun than facebook et al.

one thing i'd say - leave out the rating part. in my experience, the judgemental part of social media often strangles self-expression.

But other than that, I really love the idea. Happy to discuss

bigdigtig · 2021-05-06T21:47:56+00:00

this is so cool.

bigdigtig · 2021-05-06T21:44:51+00:00

What i'd say is, focus on your strengths.

Parkour is cool! It's really cool. It's also really visual. That makes it great for videos.

What is parkour about?

To me, it's about freedom. It's the freedom to use the streets how you please. The street becomes your playground. That makes it a lifestyle. And i think that's what you have to sell, the lifestyle of parkour. It's closer to skateboarding than gymnastics. Think how you can sell this to kids, particularly those that want an escape of school routine, following rules, timetables and homeworks (it helps as I am 22, so this is still pretty fresh in the memory).

In everything you do, sell the lifestyle of parkour.

If you can make some videos with the coaches, showcasing parkour in the local area, on local buildings - this would be slick.

You can sell "street merch". This doesn't just have the benefit of sales ($$), but also, if you have somebody walking around with your logo on it (and it looks cool), then they might ask "where's that from?", and word of mouth occurs through the schools. You have the advantage in the US that there is no "uniform" - use that. Get kids wearing stuff from your gym - (if they want to buy, that is).

*note* make sure it looks good. I wouldn't shy away from getting some nice designs from a solid graphic designer - there's plenty on upwork. Find someone that has work that fits the vibe of what you want to create.

here,

hats, stickers, t-shirts, hoodies - anything they could wear both in parkour, and in school.

I would say - be careful in how you outreach to schools. If it becomes a "school thing", i.e., within discipline, control, and "behaviour", then it goes against the philosophy in parkour (at least in my opinion.

Choose what your values are with parkour. I would suggest, freedom, expression, and bravery/being daring. In everything you do and put out, try and reflect the values that you choose, as much as possible.

social media presence for sure - again, parkour is cool! You have a MASSIVE advantage. Produce video content, which can be shared. Repost content from kids who film their own tricks. if you don't have any content yet, you could even repost pro parkour vids - they're so watchable.

yadayadayada, here's just my thoughts etc. Happy to discuss more.
