Anyone else HATE spending money? I'm fine investing it, I'm fine dropping lots of money into a financial instrument without much hesitation, but I just HATE spending anything that won't earn me additional money

I've wanted a new laptop for ages and even though I've made tons of money in the past year I can't bring myself around to taking a little bit of it and buying one without feeling sick as if it's a waste.

Anyone too frugal due to the way their parents raised them?

We have brains, we can sit here and think and brainstorm, let's stop shitposting and really think here don't just consume

/biz/raelies, let's come up with an idea and become the next Bill Gates. Who here's intelligent or well educated scientifically?

What do people want? I'll brainstorm a bit here

-People want fad items to fit in with their social group
-They want to feel connected to the world
-They want security in their finances
-They want items which appeal to their interests
-They want to do things which make them feel productive

So let's think of a product that is cheap to produce, preferably software or an app, that does some of these things. Even just one, really well.

Words with friends was such a simple idea and it made like $50m

Should our /biz/ness venture be a game? A social networking platform? A meme sort of thing like snapchat where it's simple as fuck but hugely successful? More brainstorming plx

Will be making more posts through the night

I'm a software engineer at a prestigious company but I'm completely new to cryptocurrencies and the blockchain. Is it worth specializing in this as a software engineer for the future?

I feel like this is the future. Are there companies who want blockchain experts? Is it good money compared to trading firms? That's where I got my start
