It can seem like a good idea to keep excess inventory on hand, but in reality this can tie up your cash flow and cost you extra money in storage. You should continuously monitor your inventory to make sure you’re only ordering what you need. It might seem like a good idea to order 2 years’ worth of packaging for your product, but if new regulations cause you to change the wording on your label in 6 months, you’ll be stuck with pallets of material you can’t use. If you have inventory left over from a promotion or a line which didn’t sell well, consider selling it or writing it off on your taxes. If you haven’t done anything with it in over a year, you’re probably just wasting valuable storage space. No matter what service or product you’re purchasing, get bids from 3-5 companies before you make a decision. Be sure to ask about all of the details of the purchase when you’re getting a bid. You might find 2 manufacturers who offer a product in the same price range, for instance, but one may offer free shipping when you sign a 2-year contract. Co-working spaces are on the rise in recent years thanks to their increased efficiency. If you have unused office or warehouse space in your production area, consider leasing it to another individual or company for added revenue. In recent years, wage increases and rising energy costs have caused offshore manufacturing costs to rise to the point that they often end up costing businesses more. If you’ve been manufacturing products overseas, re-evaluate your manufacturing costs and see if it would be cost-effective to return to domestic production.

If you're serious about investing in Bitcoin, you may want to devote a small portion of each paycheck towards buying the virtual currency — this is a great way to amass lots of Bitcoin over time without any major one-time expenses. Many Bitcoin wallet sites (like, for instance, Coinbase) offer the option to set up regular withdrawals for the purpose of buying Bitcoin. This generally works a little like regular withdrawals for a 401k — you specify a certain amount of money, and this money is withdrawn from your account at regular intervals and used to buy Bitcoin automatically. If you'd like to keep your money in the local community, consider using a service that allows you sell to people near you. Rather than pairing you with anonymous online buyers from anywhere in the world, certain sites give you the option of searching for sellers in your local area. If you choose to meet with these sellers in person, observe all of the normal precautions you would for meeting someone you met online — meet in a public location in the daytime and, if possible, don't show up alone. See our article on the subject for more information. Localbitcoins.com is one of the most prominent local bitcoin marketplaces online. The site allows you to search for buyers in over 6,000 cities and 200 countries, including the US. One option that's often advertised as being "less risky" than buying and selling Bitcoin directly is to put money into an investment agency. The Bitcoin Investment Trust, for instance, allows users to buy and sell stock in the company just as they would for any other company. The Trust then uses the money to buy and sell Bitcoin with the goal of making money for the investors. Because the company deals solely in buying and selling Bitcoin, the company's share price is directly tied to the price of Bitcoin. However, some users find this option preferable because the professional investors at the Trust are (presumably) experts and because it allows them to forgo the process of finding sellers and managing their Bitcoin accounts on their own. Ever wonder where Bitcoins come from? In fact, new Bitcoins are created through a complicated computing process called "mining." In very simplified terms, when mining BTC, your computer competes with other users' computers to solve complex problems. When your computer solves the problem first, you are awarded Bitcoin. The supposed benefits of mining include the fact that you are essentially "making" BTC for yourself without using any of your real-world money. However, in practice, maintaining competitive status as a Bitcoin miner can involve substantial investments in specialized hardware.  The entire mining process is a complicated one that is beyond the scope of this article. For more information, see our Bitcoin mining article. In addition, it's important to understand that because Bitcoin are awarded in "blocks" of multiple Bitcoin at once, it's usually in your best interest to join an established "pool" of miners, which will allow you to work together towards solving the block and share the rewards. Going it alone can make you very uncompetitive as a miner — you may go a year or more without making a single Bitcoin.

Teams of two will take turns throwing the ball each time they get a turn. If you want to avoid drinking too much, consider filling each ¼ up the way with beer. You can vary the amount of beer per cup so each side has an equal amount of beer in each cup. While sanitation isn't exactly the cornerstone of beer pong, nobody wants to drink a tainted cup of beer. Have some clean water handy so players can clean their balls before throwing, and keep paper towels on handy to soak up spills. The point of each triangle should face the opposing team. There will be one cup in the first row, two in the second row, three in the third row, and the base of the triangle will have four cups. Do not tilt the cups.  You can also play with 6 cups. The more cups, the longer the game will likely last. Many games are started by a member of each team playing rock, paper, scissors. Winners go first. Another variation to choose who goes first is playing “eye-to-eye.” To do this, teams try to make a cup while maintaining eye contact with the opponent, and the first one to do so goes first. You can also flip a coin.
