I'm in my early 20s and currently working to stack sats. Thinking about studying CS at University (cheap in Germany except opportunity cost).
What would you do if you were young again, work, study or self learn?

love whatever you do.👊🏽
I couldn’t code in my 20s and struggled thru a degree I didn’t enjoy🤦🏽♂️
After finding Bitcoin in my 40s, coding seems way more interesting to me now🙇🏽
Also what's your opinion on saving, stack like a maniac or go partying and enjoy 20s with friends?
The best of both worlds is to enjoy 20s with friends by convincing your friends to stack like a maniac too.
Friends that stack together stay together. Plus you will get to retire early with all your friends.. what's the point of having a large stack in your 30s when all your friends are still wage *ucking
A general rule of thumb: every dollar you spend today is two dollars you could have spent at 60. I imagine the effect this rule has on Bitcoin is even more pronounced.
Besides, there's plenty of free things you can do with friends :)
Do cheap stuff when possible. Don't let others convince you to waste money.
STAY HUMBLE. Do not try to earn yield, get in on shitcoin pumps, or use leverage. Stack the sats and dont sell.
Definitely give it a go, always take the chance if you can travel and especially if you can stay there for a couple of years.
I am fluent in several languages and stayed in different continents for a few years. Being able to read local news in their local language can give you a lot more information source.
If you can pick up German that would even be better, sometimes you will dream in their language and it's one hell of a thing to experience.
My advice to you would be keeping an open interest in everything and pick up a few hobbies. Some of them can be life changing.
Photography pretty much changed how I see everything, from spotting light changes (soft/hard) to appreciating all forms of media. It allows me to enjoy art and reading up color theories and actually applying some of that for my new flat, while learning interior design and material etc.
Philosophy is definitely my top recommendation though, a lot of everything goes back to philosophical questions, it make everything a little more interesting.
I may be double your age, have my own knowledge gaps but also feel I may have made the best out of the worst by following a happy medium.
Though the above advice is sage, also keep things going in the right direction by ensuring you can, to the best of your ability, work, and keep yourself learning and earning simulataneously, even if that is not completly aligned to your immediate goals and objectives.
You'll still learn and meet people that could potentially help in your long term goals, if you don't forget what they are.
Stacking and spending are part of the same equation.
Fail often, fail cheaply
That's my advice for young people in their 20s
Do stuff, break it and learn. Don't wait to be "prepared enough" with countless courses, seminars, books or whatever instead do things that are meaningless (now) and learn by doing
If I could talk to my 20s self I would say to him to be more brave and take more risks, even more than I have actually done
Uni is primarily a social/dating scene and some social anti-procrastination pressure. Of course you can learn something as well there but your future employers will look at your projects, not your credentials. You could in principle self-learn - but only if you're capable of putting out sustained effort which isn't common in early 20s.
