Ok, so it seems i was too optimistic:
„ Upon registering a company in Estonia, you can apply for opening a bank account in Estonia, if you have partners in Estonia/employees living in Estonia/carry out activities in Estonia. If the intended activity of the company is not related to Estonia, you will not be able to open a bank account in Estonia. If you want to open an account with an Estonian bank, the company has to start its activities, in full or in part, on the territory of Estonia“
(source: https://www.estonia-company.ee/management-of-bank-accounts-v...)
From a google search:
„ Yes, Estonia has a system that enables you to open a bank account without residency and as an e-resident, and you can start the process online. Generally speaking, it is often possible to open an account with only your passport - depending on the country of your origin and the bank you chose.“

A bit intricate, but you should be able to open a bank account in Estonia. They offer digital citizenship, so-called e-residency (https://www.e-resident.gov.ee/) and for 350€ you can open a company there. I reckon it should also be possible to open a bank account there over the internet once you got your citizenship e-card?
Where can I learn more about the concepts you mentioned? I find it quite hard to acquire knowledge in that area as I don‘t even get to formulate the right questions.
This said, I would be very much interested in an introduction to different (simple) trading strategies with examples - does anyone know some introductory text to those?
Yeah. I am practicing old skool trend following, yet would be interested in the same topic.
Sadly, I believe there is no silver bullet for that, the blow-ups seem to be rather chaotic, at least on the short to midterm basis.
Whereas for mid- to longterm trends, this usually correlates somehow with the technical „backup“ or substance that is provided for a given project:
- does the project have a clear vision?
- does the project have its own technical platform (its own blockchain for instance)?
- how innovative is the project?
Projects like Ethereum, Cardano and Polkadot for instance do have a higher probability (!) to grow in my opinion, as they have significant technical knowledge and expertise under their belt.
Well, there is a lot to unpack here. I am in the same boat (german dev, more than 25 years of coding experience).
First of all, feeling down because you „never ever get it“ to run a business is quite revealing in itself: why do you define your value as a human being by your success to build up and run a business? This thinking in itself, that you are only „valuable“ if you achieve a self-defined goal is questionable.
But since websites like HN project the illusion that everyone who can code can turn this into a successfull business, it is understandable that you may get the impression to miss something or not to be adequate or as clever as everyone else. Yet this is an illusion in my opinion.
Also, you call yourself a hacker and seem to be passionate about technology - this is a totally different skillset than the one needed to run a business, where other priorities are to be set: when you run a business, you‘ll need to focus on your customers and their needs, provide support and sustain or even grow your business.
This is something completely different than being technically proficient. You have to ask yourself if you really want to do that (to take care of nagging customers, to have to deal with stupid shit like business taxes and hires, take on additional responsabilities, or to work on a single technological topic exclusively for years to come and thus have less time to code or learn about new technologies).
It dawned on me quite early that if you like an acitivity (like coding), the encouraged way of society is to build a business around it which turns you effectively into a manager, thus alienating you from the original activity you signed up for.
It seems as if someone is good at something, the „natural way“ is not to accomodate your life to do more of it, but to build a business around it in order to get rich. The goal of the operation however has slipped here, from enjoying an activity to creating money.
But don‘t do more of what you like, but usually become a facilitator to create more money, having to deal with topics you would have never considered in the first place.
This is not what I signed up for (to do more of what I like, namely to code).
„L‘art pour l‘art“ would be my motto. I am not in it for the money (although I need to be able to sustain myself), but for the ride it provides:
I am always wondering how these data nomads are actually sustaining themselves. As a freelancer, I had quite some hard time to find paying gigs, not to mention that most of the time I was asked to work on premise.
This said, I do not claim to be the smartest guy when it comes to business, nor to development…
Super-stupid suggestion, but…
why not enhance building indices for given topics?
Some sort of semi-automatic creation?
Say I believe in genome editing, CRISPR and personal medicine, and I would like to have XX stocks in my index. Your system could support me by picking the appropriate stocks.
Biggest issue is to map trending topics to XX according companies for me.
Only thing I am aware of that is remotely comparable is Wikifolio (https://www.wikifolio.com/), then again, i am not very knowledgeable in that area, so if anyone has interesting european-based investing startup-links, I am all for it, please post and/or DM me. Thanks.
Heise.de published a description for an open source holographic microscope which can generate 3d views.
This said, mine doesn‘t work, and the guys behind it aren‘t really helpful or friendly. Physicists, what can I say?
Sunk 300€ into it, misses some crucial information on calibration and useage according to me. However, others seem to have gotten it to work, so maybe I am not the brightest candle on the cake…
