Luck favors the prepared. I've slowly woken up to this stuff over the years, I figure in your life you'll have somewhere between 1 and 10 of such opportunities, how you handle those will make all the difference in how you'll live the remainder of your life.

In my life so far:

- electronics

- digital

- computers

- the web

- cellular communications

- smartphones + app ecosystems

- crypto currencies (in progress)

- deep learning (in progress)

Yup. I am currently studying the idea of designing better (more efficient) mining hardware. That's the arms race. I have a few ideas. Not intelligent enough yet to know if this makes any sense as a business venture given the current state of the art.

Not doing much with deep learning yet other than spending as much time as possible learning. Need to identify opportunities.

I did jump into the iOS fray years ago. It proved to be a bust. The App Store is so bad in terms of discoverability, building relationships with your users and the race to the bottom that it became impossible to make a profit.
