Michael's Newsletter - February 2018

Hope everyone is off to a great start in 2018! 
- I took a break from writing this month but will be back in February with some new articles. 
- For the first time in my life, I combined a no sugar/gluten/grains/beans/meat diet with exercising 6+ days / week. I feel great. I weigh the same (170 lbs) but my body fat went down from 17% to 10%!
- Cryptocurrencies have had several Bloody Mondays where the market has dipped 25-35% in a single day. Apparently, this happens every year around the Chinese New Year.
- We are headed to Thailand, Korea, Hawaii for our honeymoon. Please send any must-do recommendations.
Best,
Michael Karnjanaprakorn

Stablecoins have been one of my major areas of interest since I got involved in crypto. I first learned of Bitcoin when I was studying abroad in Argentina in 2014. At the time, Argentina was in the midst of a currency crisis that had resulted in widespread inflation, and Argentinian citizens were still reeling from a 2001 market crash that ended with the government freezing bank accounts for a year.

Productivity
A clear sign we are stupid is if we do not read new books, take poor care of our health, rarely have deep conversations with friends, do not learn new skills. Because we are “too busy.”

Recommendation
[MK] I finished this book in one weekend. It’s a great sci-fi book about “a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.”
