Bitcoin: A peer to peer electronic cash system
I have a hunch that a fair number of those who read this document know where the preceding statement originated. For those who are unaware, it was the title to Satoshi Nakamoto’s 2009 whitepaper, in which he layed out his proposed ideas for the now infamous Bitcoin. Fast forward to the present day, nine years into the life of now the worlds longest lasting cryptocurrency. Ignore the thousands of other cryptocurrencies, for the sake of this review. Cast aside all the negative news, the insane price cycles, the stories of rags and the stories of riches. I would like you to just focus on the title of Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper, and the incredible power Bitcoin has to change the monetary and physical world.
This is not an evangelical post about the meaning of the whitepaper. This is a review of a service. I believe that JFGI.cc ( twitter @jfGi) in its simplest form is an execution of the title of the Bitcoin Whitepaper.
Rafiq, thanks for chatting to us at Ideate. You’ve been featured in numerous magazines, blog forums and interviews – hell, you’ve even been on Carte Blanche. Are you still as technically immersed as you were when you first burst on the scene, or do you ‘unplug’ more these days?
Rafiq Phillips is sharing his experience so that others may learn to try and create a better work/life balance for themselves before it is too late. “I was literally working from sunrise to sunset and beyond.”
Phillips reckons that burnout is very common in the technology and digital industries. “A lot of people in the industry have been through something similar. There is a fair amount of burnout in this sector – people just don’t readily talk about it,” he says.
