Fantastic article, Chase. We all take chances with our finances everyday of the week and not knowing it. Each day, not spending or investing smartly is a loss of value much more noticeable later part in life.
Immersed in countless hours of research as part of my book project I constantly questioned why some people or even companies are doing so much better than other.  

I just wrote this today:

"Human beings, ranked in the highest order within the animal kingdom, are gifted with a powerful capability and urge to combine their efforts and strength in organized groups, thereby developing ingenious ways and complex technology in the utilization of resources from their environment for the accomplishment of a wide variety of collective, as well as individual goals. As a whole our combined efforts, through serving in organizations, have been extremely successful in bringing civilization to what we know as the modern world today. They have constantly made progress in many material things which they seek to achieve, such as better standard of living, growth in their companies, and improved technologies. But both as an individual, as a group, and as a company, some have done significant better than others."

Why? Perhaps it has a lot to do with the way we take chances, our ability to work as a team in the most productive ways to attain common goals, and the utilization of resources available to us. And much more, of course. I thought the timing of Chase article was an interesting coincident. Great job, Chase.

Ran across it when researching an easy way to have multiple translations of your site. It just uses google translate, so it isn't perfect by any means, and there are better options once we feel like having human translators will be feasible.

That is super cool! Where do you find this stuff? 

Just dropping in briefly to say hello. Now that the price of Bitcoin made a nice comeback there is a lot more love for Bitcoin from the mainstream media.

I love the headline.

Bitcoin Won 2015. Apple ... Did Not
 
This year has been awash with financial and business intrigue and excitement. Here, then, are my awards for the most fascinating stories of 2015, with the added bonus that the qualifying events have implications that will reverberate into 2016 and beyond. ................

COMEBACK OF THE YEAR -- BITCOIN

Bitcoin was the world's worst-performing currency in 2014, losing more than 57 percent of its value against the dollar. This year, the digital currency extolled by some as a technological escape route from government's snooping into our financial affairs tops the league tables. It's gained almost 40 percent, knocking the Somali shilling into second place, the Gambian dalasi into third, and the Burundi franc to a distant fourth spot:

LEMON OF THE YEAR -- APPLE WATCH

I number myself among Apple's fans, with a long (and expensive) history of buying iPods, iMacs, iPads and iPhones on their first, second and then third iterations. (I even owe my first job to a cursory acquaintance with the Apple Mac in the 1980s, back when Microsoft and the PC ruled supreme.) So this year's launch of the Apple Watch was a thoroughly discouraging affair, almost as depressing as the boring film about the fall and rise of Steve Jobs, creator of the world's biggest company.

In fact, the watch, Apple Pay and Apple TV are all disappointments. Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook won't even reveal what demand for the timepiece has been, for fear of giving away valuable market information (his argument) or because the numbers are an embarrassment (I know which explanation I favour). The iPhone contributed 66 percent of Apple's fiscal 2015 revenue, up from 50 percent in 2012;
