I don't understand why people buy into Bitcoin. If I want to be part of an economic scheme where 1% of the people hold 90% of the wealth, I already have the current global economy for that. I do have a very simplistic understanding of economics but to me Bitcoin seems like all about speculation (so those that bought into it trying to make their "tokens" have any value at the expense of late suckers).
Bitcoin's price is two parts, one part is the fact that you are owning a digital asset that was guaranteed to be generated by burning power, in the form of electricity, the same way as working for a paycheck while the second part is speculation.
I buy Bitcoin when the price is stable and there's no ridiculous bubbles. I sell when the bubbles are one-two weeks in because that's when every Joe Schmuck wants into Bitcoin.
Deep Learning (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning series) by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, Aaron Courville

Part I: Applied Math and Machine Learning Basics (Linear Algebra, Probability and Information Theory, Numerical computation)
Part II: Deep Networks: Modern Practices (Deep Feedforward Networks, Regularization, CNNs, RNNs, Practical Methodology & Applications)
Part III: Deep Learning Research (Linear Factor Models, Autoencoders, Representation Learning, Structured Probabilistic Models, Monte Carlo Methods, Inference, Partition Function, Deep Generative Models)
What's interesting is how to cast Bill Murray for a movie. He doesn't have an agent, lawyer, personal phone number, or email address. Only a mythical anonymous 1-800 number where you leave a voicemail describing your script and hope he calls back. He's known to check his voicemail only once in a while..
He's also a nomad, so if he's interested, the script is sent through snail mail to his variable current location.
I've used it mostly for prototyping and gifts. I've made a photography turntable, a functional arduino robot, and 3D printed my dad's house to put in a shadow box frame as a gift.
