I cheat; I read the stuff that Kent picks over for us and then toss the sites with actually insightful posts into a favorites folder 
Or I meet people at conferences, but that's a smaller part of the whole.

I have a lot of useful blogs bookmarked in separate folders in form of categories like azure, asp.net, c# but i visit those rarely, just have habit of bookmarking whenever i come across a good blog site

Is that a thing?
I suspect you mean RSS readers. I used to use RSS Bandit, but felt like it was getting sluggish over time, no matter how often I emptied/cleared out everything. I'm happier with Thunderbird (yes, that Thunderbird - although I don't use it for email, which is what it primarily is designed for).

I pretty much only read blogs when a google search for some technical problem leads me there.

What one man can create, another can destroy.
Gold cant be created by man.
Crypto currency though...

I agree, but I'd change "Gold can't be created by man" to "Gold can't yet be created by man."
One day it will happen and it will be a rather interesting day when it does.

Technology accelerates.
I doubt that anyone who witnessed the Wright Brothers' flight in 1906, seriously expected that we'd land on the moon before the 1960's were out.
Around that time, Einstein indicated the possibility of converting energy to matter. There are, obviously, some huge hurdles to be crossed (especially in terms of power) but we already have multi-peta-watt lasers under development at ELI ...
It might not happen next week but it could be a lot closer than we think.

However, the cost require to create 1 gram of gold probably more than the price of gold itself, making it uneconomical.

In very-sub-microscopic amounts, it has been. Transmutation of elements has been going on for a long time.
Caveat: No matter how you slice it, converting one atomic nucleus to another will cost you energy. Even if you start with heavy elements (heavy meaning a greater number of nucleons than Gold), so that there's a net release of energy, it's not likely going to compensate for the activation energy involved in causing the very selection fission.
Coming from the lighter element side, energy is released until you reach Fe56, then it starts to cost you again.
Energy cost money.
Probably cheaper to extract gold from sea water - at least if gold gets expensive enough.

Yes, but apparently phishing was not the only technique.

You are not seriously suggesting that cryptos are as safe as money in the bank, are you?
