simply put, everyone is different

Anecdotally I can definitely say my depression seems to get worse when I'm sleeping more and it almost becomes a feedback loop because I want to sleep more therefore making it even worse. It might also have something to do with a sense of productivity feeding back into the depression but that's a different story. Ultimately this makes me want to do a better job of recording sleep patterns and seeing if that correlates with my depression. Anyone suggest using a tool like fitbit for this purpose?

When did lunch become dinner? Is this some kind of reference to the time difference?

While every situation is unique, building on the side is a common precursor for failure.

Is this from the experience of someone who tried to raise again after failing? At the end of the day it's what you produce and the opportunity at hand not what you've done. Raising with a pitch and a dream is rightfully more difficult the second time around.

Thank you for putting 25 in the younger pool! I hate feeling as old as 30 :)

By no means am I a securities or legal expert but the SEC has authority to regulate any marketplace, exchange, or "investment opportunity" to ensure investors are protected from fraud.

HAHA! Called this as soon as I saw Perez's article...humble brag? No surprised at all.

and just wait for the SEC to reverse their recent no action decision when the people on the losing end start crying foul.

Hope you're right for your own sake...imaginary money is at the end of the day imaginary...doesn't matter if I hold it in paper or if it's set by an algorithm.

A daily range of $70-259 shows how over hyped/heated this thing is. Buy low sell high if you're trying to make money. Stay out if you have any common sense at all.

I definitely agree with most of your points especially understanding and using the product. It would infuriate me when people would walk into a Zipcar interview having never even considered signing up. My only concern is how long do you wait after starting to use the product before reaching out? <1 week shows you signed up just for the interview, a month seems reasonable but too soon to say you're a super user, while anything longer means you're spending less time w/o a job...unless you're still banking.

Living the pay it forward mantra. Can't wait to connect people through LetsLunch. Really need something easier than email/LNKD/etc.

Great post Syed!
