Nice surprise right when I woke up, rpietila showing his mansion at the front page of Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's largest news papers:

From the article:
"34-year old Pietilä may be one of the few people who got rich with bitcoin before the virtual currency crashed in value" Roll Eyes

Also my first post here, been lurking tightly since the last bubble when I first learned about bitcoin and bought my first ones. Bought a little more this morning after reading the news. Grin

He looks a lot like Anders Breivik, I reckon.

I almost hate to say this; however, I cannot resist.

If someone who looks like this guy in this picture has a lot of money, then he needs to put that money to work for his own benefit, health wise. I am NOT talking about the genetic factors that cannot be changed, and I am sorry if there are unknown genetic factors present.

What I am suggesting is that this person, seemingly admittedly Rpietila, is looking too sickly for a 34 year old in the 21st century. These days we have longer longevities, but this picture looks like a person who is nearly on his death bed - pale and a kind of skinny fat.

Rpietila, I make this suggestion to you without hate and with your best interest in mind - b/c I would like you to be around in 1 year or 10 years or more, if possible.

I would prescribe changing some of the health factors that are within your control, and you have additional control over several lifestyle matters b/c you are supposedly well off in the money department (you do NOT have to work, if you do NOT want to).

Most important is diet. You need to make sure that you are getting sufficient quantities of meat and fat in your diet. Red meat, fatty fish would be good to make sure as staples. Some green vegetables would be good too. Cut out foods with added sugars, and especially a large number of processed foods, including those with fillers such as wheat, corn and soy. Try to limit your carbs to less than 35% of your diet. Actually less than 20% would be o.k. too, but up to 35% is acceptable so long as those carbs are mostly whole foods, and are not dominated by processed foods and sugars.

2nd : Sleep. Most people need at least 6 hours per day, but 6-9 hours may be o.k. More than 9 hours may NOT be good.

3rd: Exercise. Of course this can vary based on your total activities, but from the look of the picture, you have NOT been getting too much exercise in recent years. At minimum you should be getting 2 hours per week over 3 days. I would recommend more however, such as 4-5 hours of exercise per week. You do NOT want to over do exercise, b/c you need to control inflammation, especially if you are NOT used to exercise. Also, most people need to space out their exercise in order to build in rest and recuperation times, especially as we get older. You can combine resistance training such as weights with cardio-vascular. But since it looks like you may NOT exercise too much, you may want to warm up 5-10 minutes of cardiovascular before partaking in resistance training. Usually, it is better to save the bulk of the cardio-vascular for the end of your work-out rather than the beginning b/c you do NOT want to wear yourself out with cardio-vascular when it appears that you may need some muscle building.

2 more advice:

No smoking

Light drinking

Gosh... they are even in the picture. Yes..... agreed about the no smoking and light drinking - though I think those two are lower on the priorities (4th and 5th). Maybe getting some sunlight would also be good? I know being in the NORTHERN latitudes, this is NOT always easy in the winter months, but still getting sunshine is important, and you do NOT need as much when you are light-skinned - maybe 60 minutes a week.
