About you:
You love working on problems that matter to future generations of humanity at scale, including education.
You consider yourself world-class at digital content creation and/or community building.
You love learning new things and can do it quickly.
You consider no task to small or too large for you to do.
About me: I'm Karthik, based in NYC and work full time at Amazon (for now). I have a 3 yr old daughter and have thought deeply about education for the past 18 months. I've been working on HAX (http://learnhax.co), a digital cohort-based learning experience which makes learning life skills (e.g. personal finance, relationship building, etc) accessible and fun. I'm launching a private 4-week beta to ~25 ppl in mid-January. The north-star of HAX is a modern Boy/Girl Scouts accessible to everyone around the world. I love sports, watching re-runs, investing, and trying to stop myself from spending too much time on Twitter.
If the above sounds like you and I sound cool, would love to hear from you at karthik.senthil at gmail . Excited to hear from you.

This is a community for long-term investing (crypto is just one piece of this, plan to offer a stocks course later in 2021).
To me, long-term investing in crypto (which may seem outrageous to some) is 1) having conviction that core protocols (Bitcoin, Ethereum, a few select others) are going to increase in value over the long-term as crypto eats the world of finance, community, marketplaces, etc, and 2) holding those tokens for long periods of time. This is not about HODLing random "shitcoins" (like DOGE) just to be a meme.
There were definitely ppl evangelizing crypto in 2018/2020, but of course they werent the loudest. In any event, if you can take profits and buy the dips - more power to you.
For me, I've found that being a long term holder of anything (crypto/stocks) and riding out the mania/crashes is 1) less stressful, and 2) ultimately more lucrative.
Appreciate the feedback tho!
