Samvat begins when Chaitra Krishna Amavasya ends (Sun and Moon are at the same degree in Pisces). This Tithi is Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (CSP). The Lord of the day at Sunrise when CSP is operating is considered Raja (king) of the Samvat. It is called वर्षपति in Sanskrit.

While January 1 just ensures a change of calendar and considered a new English year for administrative purposes, Chaitra Shukla Pratipada and Mesh Sankranti of Sun are the days which actually tell us the future.
I will tell in brief. Please read in full.
RT after reading.
Samvat begins when Chaitra Krishna Amavasya ends (Sun and Moon are at the same degree in Pisces). This Tithi is Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (CSP). The Lord of the day at Sunrise when CSP is operating is considered Raja (king) of the Samvat. It is called वर्षपति in Sanskrit.
Varshpati or The King of Samvat should be very strongly placed in the chart prepared at the start of CSP for the year to be good and promise growth. A poorly placed king, even if a Shubh Graha, reduces growth and doesn't deliver its benefic results.
Importance of Varshpati.
Raja (Varahpati/King) of the Samvat also decides Vaahan (vehicle) of the Samvat. Different vehicles set the tone of results of the year.
First 4 Pratipadas of Samvat also decide 4 Pillars (Stambhas) of the Samvat: Jal (water), Truna (grass), Vaayu (wind) & Anna (food grains).
Knowing Samvat vaas (Residence) also helps in predicting rainfall for the Samvat. In medieval and ancient periods, these were heavily used but now the habit to use them for rain predictions has reduced, however, they still form the basis for such predictions.
Likewise, determination of Samvatsar Purusha is also crucial in modifying result for Samvat.
Starting point of Samvatsar also helps in ascertaining the four points of Aarsha Maana (used to predict peace, law and order). Hence, we saw why a new Samvatsar brings about changes.
The chart prepared at the starting of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada also dictates the tone of future for the Samvat. This chart is called CSP Lagna Kundali. Every Samvatsar is given a name which also gives us idea of intensity of events to come.
Similarly, Jagat Kundali is cast.
The moment when Sun enters Aries, or Mesha Rashi (event called Mesha Sankranti), Jagat Kundali or chart of the world is prepared. It generally happens on 14 April every year. Jagat Kundali or Jagat Lagna, as the name indicates, holds highest importance for mundane predictions.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.

THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ
1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE
2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less. https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n
3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)
(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)
4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.
For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3
5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
