It’s been a while since I’ve written here, and even more since I wrote a personal update. I’ve been a bit confused over the last few years on where and how to update: Between Medium, Facebook and Youtube, English and Hebrew, Text and Videos, I haven’t been very consistent. I still don’t have a cohesive strategy on where and how to blog… but I’ve been meaning to update here for a while. So here goes.
First, let’s get the Coronavirus situation out of the way. Social isolation sucks, and this is a tough period for the entire world. I’m affected…
Us over-achievers, goal-oriented people are great at Getting Things Done.
We usually have one or more task lists somewhere (either in our head, inbox, or a tool like Google Keep or Workflowy). The issue with that is that often when we failed to complete a task or goal, we might feel guilty or bad.
We take it seriously… too seriously.
I want to propose another view:
Instead of thinking about the things you want to do as Tasks or Goals, think of them as Quests in a video game.
Imagine yourself walking down a yellow brick road, when suddenly you…
I’m getting everything out. Letting everything out.
It’s been a while since I communicated on this medium.
Shadow stopped me? Made me depressed?
NO I DID NOT!
Well, you _would_ say that.
FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. YOU KNOW NOTHING.
Neither of us. We can only guess.
YOU AND YOUR EMPATHY, YOUR NVC, YOU TRYING TO LOVE ME. YOU WILL NNNNNEVERRRRR UNDERSTAND. NEVER. YOU ARE THE GOOD ONE. YOU CAN TRY TO REUNITE WITH ME OR MAKE PEACE WITH ME OR KILL ME. ALL OF THIS IS FUTILE. YOU WILL NEVER WIN. YOU WILL NEVER GET RID OF ME. …
This post is meant for accredited investors only [1]. I already posted about this in Hebrew [2].
I’m happy to announce that I’m moving into angel investing in tech startups, fulltime. I’m currently reviewing several deals, and am opening a non-binding syndicate. If you are accredited investors and want to hear about the companies I’ll invest in, and get the option (not obligation) to co-invest with me, send me a pm with your Whatsapp number, a bit of background, and I’ll add you to a distribution list I’m opening about this (low frequency, only deals I decided to invest in)…
Borderland. Wow.
What can I write? What can’t I? Let’s make a list.
I’ll start with the concluding event — Dancing with 100 naked people, unstructured & primitive tribal dance, fighting with and against the fire like prehistoric humans. This happened after a pianist played a burning piano (the concluding event). He kept playing until the piano was almost completely burned.
- A beautiful elf maiden signing on her van, a song in some ancient tongue. I was sure the song was thousands of years old, but she wrote it 2 days before that.
- Bonding with my camp members, finding…
Hi dick. It’s time we had a talk.
We’ve been here together for almost 38 years, but have never really had a conversation. Isn’t that strange?
I have all sorts of mixed emotions towards you.
I love you, I hate you, I’m afraid of you.
I’m proud of you. I want to make you happy, and sometimes I’m afraid to wake you up.
I want to take care of you, and sometimes I do that a bit too much. Sometimes I listen to you, and let you be the boss of me. I let go of my control, and let…
After a short break we’re returning to the #LiveBitcoinInterviews series with ORBS HQ. Join me as I interview Tal Kol & David Yakira and talk about business blockchains. I’ll explore with Tal & David what exactly that is, how their adoption is going, and how that is connected to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The interview will take place on Facebook on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at 3:30 PM — 5 PM. If you have any questions for Tal & David do send them my way at ron.gross@gmail.com. …
I recently read a really interesting thread about new scientific revelations that have not yet received widespread publicity, and wanted to share them with you:
The thread contains many more, but these are my favorites:
1. An MRI examination can be done within 70 seconds instead of 90 minutes!
2. Archeologists discovered a site where the huge Chicxulub comet hit the earth and destroyed millions of animals within seconds.
3. MDMA (the psychedelic drug) will soon be officially used to treat anxiety disorders, it has been approved in Israel in certain cases a couple of months ago.
In recent months I have been conducting a series a “Live Bitcoin Interviews” — interviews with interesting Bitcoin or crypto people, on Facebook Live. The previous two interviews were conducted in Hebrew, with Guy Corem of Beam Privacy and with Udi Wertheimer, an independent Bitcoin developer and evangelist.
The #LiveBitcoinInterviews series continues, in English.
On Sunday April 28 I will interview Eyal Hertzog, a serial entrepreneur and one of the founders of Bancor (one of the largest ICOs of 2017). The interview will be conducted live on Facebook, you are all welcome to send me questions for Eyal, both before the interview and during.
If you want to be reminded 48 hours prior in email + notified on the next interviews in the series, please send me your email address to ron.gross@gmail.com (I don’t spam or sell your email!)
Update: I wrote the post originally without the word NOT in the title. I apologize — I jumped to conclusions here and didn’t understand what Google is doing.
Apparently, this is part of the open source Google Amp, and publishers opt into the Top Stories bracket. So Google is not stealing anything here, since full consent is given. …
