Note: This is not investment advice. Always do your own due diligence.

If you're new to cryptocurrency, there are things you need to know about your location and how it affects your ability to buy and sell. The USA overall is one of the more restricted countries when it comes to availability of exchanges for purchasing crypto such as Bitcoin. Within the USA, it gets even more restricted whereas states such as New York and Washington are very limited in their options. New York in particular is seeing fewer options by the day.

The main qualifying factor for determining where you can transact crypto is your driver's license or state issued ID. This tells the exchange where you live and whether or not you can use their services. In some cases, the exchanges may require utility bills and other documents for further proof of residency.

If you're a New York resident, here are your current options (as of Feb 11, 2021):

Catch a Domestic Flight on a Wide-Body Aircraft From MIA While You Still Can

If you fly from MIA to Europe, you already know that you'll be on a large aircraft with a spacious cabin configuration. If you fly from MIA to JFK (New York), you probably know you're going to be in what feels like a crammed Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320. It's annoying to have your flight's departure delayed because you're waiting for everyone to make their way through the tight aisle as they load their bags into the overhead compartment, avoiding the shoulders and heads of other passengers.

5k Training Program for Beginners in Miami

5k Training Program for Beginners in MiamiJordan Hinsch. I hate running. Well, I used to. I began running in May 2019 after never doing it in my life. Sure, I was moderately active in sports in school, rarely active in my 20s, and very active now that I'm in my 30s (it's funny how that works). I ran "the mile" for physical fitness in high school. We ran it in the snow as a group and I ran it in "7 mins 30 secs". 7:30 consisted of cutting corners heavily to avoid snow. In the end it was far less than a mile and was probably an 11-12 minute pace.

The Best Places to Train for a 5k in Miami

The Best Places to Train for a 5k in MiamiJordan Hinsch. Miami is a prime location for outdoor activities, such as running. While the higher temperatures and humidity may deter most people, it's arguably the best training conditions you can ask for. Humidity slows you down, makes it harder to breath, and prevents your body from cooling down. Add high temperatures to the mix and you're in for quite a workout. Just as people train for races in the mountains to improve stamina and breathing techniques, you can train for races in Miami to improve recovery and keep your body temperature down.
