| Origin is a crypto-currency that is fairly novel (it is still in BETA) that it premise and aspect that it brings to the table is that it has asset backed token, which represent a certain asset like gold, silver, bitcoin, or dollars and tons more. these tokens retain the value that the assets it represents has, and they can be traded with Origin. This is done in an attempt in making trading with using these assets easier and accessible, where you can buy 10 gold tokens using 5000 wheat tokens using origin as middle man (this scenario is made up completely in my mind) . | https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmZMcKHNGqfBpVkt7onzZkSSGqUMEeC5qJGUFF3ufhz92F |

I joined the community in a semi early state where i encountered many of bizarre compelling situations. for instance, the overload of people from BulletBarry's video including a guy who repeatedly un-banned himself. the APOCALYPSE CHUNK and I have seen a tech -supporter who was challenged or something i do not remember, where he tried to type with his D and then with licking , then with his eyes.
Being in that community had helped me learn more stuff about how crypto-currencies work (3 blue 1 brown's video was invaluable), and even computers. Initially while using origin i earned Origin in an extremely slow manner where i earned my first block after 4 days approximately. however after the APOCALYPSE chunk the earning increased rapidly. and i even made some freelancing job for a guy in exchange of origin.
My interactions increased with the progression of origin. i even became a Guinea Pig a couple of month ago. I have entered lots of pool discord channel that includes the pool for which its owner has 5-6 1080 TIs. and he mined for my address for 6 hours, as he gave a giveaway where he would mine for some hours to anyone who gives decent suggestions to his pool and his pretty cool pool website.
Nevertheless, there is an accident that occurred to my laptop once during mining, where my antivirus detected a virus and soon after my laptop was hit with a bad sector. I believe that it was not from the client or heat as there nothing happened again to my laptop since, even after installing the client again and having it mining for lots of hours.
In addition Origin's price has been deteriorating since someone sold them in a tremendously low price. and with the decreasing announcements and updates in origin's main server also the exchange has been endlessly delayed, to the point it became a meme. all of that resulted in decreased activity at least in the discord severs.
Although there are scarce updates there a plethora of big steps being taken from the shadows, and i am still hopeful that this currency would fare well in the future. after all it is still in beta.
