Andriy Burkov : If you plan to do your Master's or Ph.D., choose your research advisor carefully. Ask about them his* current and past students, whether he was easily available for them, whether he responded to the requests for reference sent by their employers.
My research advisor, when was asked by one of my first employers whether they should hire me, responded: "You will call me back to thank me if you hire him." This is what a great research advisor would do for his students.
Unfortunately, not all research advisors are like this. For one of my hires, their research advisor didn't respond to two of my emails with requests for reference. I still hired the candidate, and I'm very happy with my choice. But the research advisor should be ashamed to ignore such requests about their recent alumni. To be available for their present and past students is advisors' direct duty.

In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
