I do most of my trading by flipping coins in and out of Bitcoin, slowly accumulating. Generally Bitcoin takes a lead and others eventually follow, but once in a while there's a divergence and, for me,

Sometimes an image just comes together, and this one happened to tick most of the boxes of what I've been talking about in previous posts. I was sat in my office (er...the bar) the other day, working on

It's true! I cannot believe how a 'techie' such as myself can be left scratching his head over what is essentially a forum - lol. I know, I know - it's way more than that, but as much as I read up, I seem

They're thieves right? If, for some insane reason, you'd borrowed from a bank to invest & the bank looked at the state of the Cryptomarkets currently, I reckon they'd be phoning you non-stop asking

You've got to love Mark Twain. The amount of times I write something and then think "hmm...." Given that everything gets archived in the Blockchain indefinitely, it's probably quite appropriate

Ciao folks, I figured I should start trying to add some value here in my posts as well as simply doing a LOT of reading and trying to be constructive with comments. My wife & I quit our jobs just over

I have no idea just what I'm writing here as my first 'true' post, but I figured I have to start somewhere. In a way, it's a continuation of my intro post I guess. I'm completely hooked by Steemit and

Hi folks! As is seemingly customary, I figured that I ought to write a quick paragraph or two to introduce myself to the community - or at least 0.0001% of the active members here who may read this post
