Peter Thiel: Bitcoin a Chinese Financial Weapon against the US
Peter Thiel urged the U.S. government to consider tighter regulations on cryptocurrencies during an appearance at a virtual event held for members of the Richard Nixon Foundation. He described himself as a “pro-crypto, pro-Bitcoin maximalist,” but warned that Bitcoin “threatens the U.S. dollar.” “I do wonder whether at this point, Bitcoin should also be thought of in part as a Chinese financial weapon against the U.S.,” Thiel said. “It threatens fiat money, but it especially threatens the U.S. dollar. If China’s long Bitcoin, perhaps from a geopolitical perspective, the U.S. should be asking some tougher questions about exactly how that works.” [Bloomberg](https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:HzeZ5kXrhpcJ:https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-07/peter-thiel-calls-bitcoin-a-chinese-financial-weapon-at-virtual-roundtable+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=en)

I have an idea for software I'd like to have developed. No software development knowledge. How do I begin?
I have what I think is a really good idea for a piece of software I'd like to have developed. I do NOT know how to develop software, so would I be looking to hire strictly freelancers to get this project done? I am very excited about this idea and it came about this weekend after I realized I couldn't find what I was looking for. Would I be able to take a loan out to fund development like this? Please let me know and thanks!

Too many ideas, not enough follow through
I’m a 30 yo male currently working in the health care field. I want to be able to do something on the side or an extra income. I seem to have many ideas but not a deeper vision for them i.e. cooking channel, writing blog, books, etc. Plus, every business idea need a good base fund, and with large student loan debt, its hard to commit. Any tips?

Message for Engineer Founders
Engineer Founders especially need to understand this. I experienced a couple of Engineer founders throughout my [Codephilics](https://codephilics.com/) journey who thought sales would happen anyway if you have a great product or service. NOT TRUE. There is no business without sales. The market is very noisy, and you have to find out the right distribution channel. If you guys Interested I will write in details post about my experience.

The CEO of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange is truly going all-in on tokens. Changpeng Zhao says Binance, which booked more than $800 million in revenue last year, doesn't need a headquarters. And aside from some material basics, he doesn't need any other investments — with "close to 100%" of his net worth held in crypto coins. "I don’t own any fiat," he told Bloomberg. "The physical stuff that I own is probably negligible in terms of my net worth. So this is a concept shift." Read the full interview at the link in bio.

Does Table of Contents count in the length of the post?
Does anyone know if Google counts Table of Contents in the length of the post, or if it affects the ranking? Of course, a post with a ToC becomes a longer post automatically, but I am wondering if Google takes this into account?

Small Business Account on Instagram?
So I just started a small business a few weeks ago and made our instagram a few days ago. We are a produce stand at a local market. I made 2 posts with pictures of our veggies and one of us in the market. A day later my account is banned. I tried to log in to appeal it today but there is no option, it just says disabled for violating terms. Everything was my own content. I followed about a dozen other shops in our market and liked a few of their posts. We had a few customers and friends follow the account. Any idea on what else to do? Does this happen to new small businesses for no reason? We aren’t banned on facebook and that was getting a lot more views anyway, so i might just let it go. Still pretty upset because I put a lot of time into making it. Tl;dr Account got banned no idea why.
