I always find it difficult to describe my skills without feeling like I have to use hollow fiat CV speak but here's my honest try: I'd say I'm analytically strong but never went deeper than applied thermodynamics and basic statistics, and, although I find both very fascinating, and have natural talent for it, I wouldn't be top of the class in those fields. My main strong points are my presentation skills and my ability to convey new information, also, I am a quick learner and creative thinker. Linking new insights and information comes naturally and I enjoy thinking of ways to implement those thoughts. I function well in high stress situations and I'm very precise, maybe to the point of too much perfectionism. I've always been hesitant to actually move to 'doing'. It's not that I lack intrinsic motivation -I have immense motivation to dedicate my energy and human resources to Bitcoin- but I find it hard to make actual decisions based on the options I have in front of me. As far as a mentor, I don't have one and I do feel that I need one. Right now, I'm reading and listening to people I find interesting and try to find guidance in that, but it is not a real substitute. I sometimes would discuss my curiousties and thoughts with my grandfather but not as I would with a mentor. However, he passed away in 2020. May God have his soul.
