My advice on expressing yourself clearly:
- Use short sentences.
- Always make your speech shorter than the audience is expecting.

Uberpreneurship, a discipline with the best of all worlds: salary of a stable job, autonomy of an entrepreneur, relationships of an executive and feedback of a focus group.
Bitcoin is unregulated, censorship-resistant shadow currency. Blockchain, a shared ledger, ensures “cash like” coin passing: unique, immutable, final.
Bitcoin is the first Blockchain application but Blockchain is not Bitcoin. Digital currencies (digital USD, for example) are different from cyptocurrency (Bitcoin, for example).

Data Exchange: A shared ledger
A shared ledger technology allowing any participant in the business network to see THE system of record (ledger).
Solution – a shared, replicated, permissioned ledger. Consensus, provenance, immutability, finality.
New data exchange patter emerges: structured data (DB) -> encryption -> structured data (shared ledger DB).
Business Networks benefit from connectivity: connected customers, suppliers, banks, partners / cross geography & regulatory boundary. Wealth is generated by the flow of goods & services across business network. Markets are central to this process: public (fruit market, car auction), or private (supply chain financing, bonds)
Most common organisational data exchange pattern: structured data (DB) -> unstructured (file, message) -> network -> unstructured (file, message) -> structured data (DB).
Problem - Difficult to monitor asset ownership and transfers in a trusted business network . Inefficient, expensive, vulnerable.
Customers are the lifeblood of any corporation!
Customers provide jobs for new products and applications.
Customers provide early warning signals of product quality and obsolescence.
Customers provide vision to the future.

Unplanned work
If you want to work hard and not have visible results to show consider tracking unplanned work. Unplanned work is the main reason for missing deadlines. Use Kanban to lay out your planned work for a week. Keep gate shut to all unplanned work.
