My cousin first introduced me to cryto currency over Thankgiving dinner 2016. His focus was showing me the gains he had made over the past few months. As a young professional, I was not only open to, but looking for new investment avenues. Charts easily stole my attention.
Just small bit on myself, I am a solo practicing attorney, with an interest and stake in real estate. Fresh out of undergraduate, I was employed by GEICO, owned by Bershire Hathaway and Mr. Warren Buffet, so I was then introduced to the stock market. I grew up lower middle class and am the first to graduate from college, so I have made it my lifes purpose to attempt to be "Financially Free". "Financially Free" in the terms Tony Robbins would use, but this took on a whole new meaning after the introduction to blockchain and crypto.
Anyway, so I left Thanksgiving diner with a homework assignment, 1. What is blockchain? 2. What is Bitcoin 3. Should I invest? 4. How do I invest? And to be honest I'm still not sure I can fully explain number 1 or number 2, but number 3 and 4 were a no brainer. Here is what I found out, and what made me invest!
