The Downfall and Future of Crypto

Where do we go from here?

Many people are looking at cryptocurrency with a bias or skeptic lens. However, the market should be looked at through a long-term investor mindset. It is still emerging and has so much growth potential. However, people are right on some things.

There are problems in the cryptocurrency market. Something like Bitconnect should have never happened. Also, at least 95% or more ICOs I have seen are unnecessary or a scam. Regulations aren't what comes to mind. Maybe a non-bias DAO that can vote or rate securities but certainly not government regulations as much as a trusted organization.

Although, I rather just keep it fully decentralized. A rating system like what many cryptocurrency startups are doing can fix all this. Also reliability. The future of crypto isn't going to be asset or token based as much as application based.

We are going to have many decentralized apps, or interconnected P2P networks in the future. If Quantum Computing becomes a thing, and utilize a distributed computing model with a Quantum Computing based model then the opportunities for solving many of the world's technological problems seem almost endless. The further technology is heading, the future decentralization is heading. We just need to make sure it is used in a moral and beneficial way to humanity.

The next few decades I see social statuses and professions dramatically changing. If we do things right and support a free market society, we can even start bringing developing countries back up. These are just some of the things I envision.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
