Hello Steemit,
Finally, I write my first post on this platform after joining way back in June. Why so long? I don't really know why but the first thing that comes to mind is the absolute craziness of the cryptocurrency/blockchain world. I heard of Steemit, created an account for safekeeping and went along my merry way on the crypto train, towards its last stop: the moon.
Short story.
I am a somewhat technically versed guy with no formal training/education in computer science. But I know how to use google search.
Mine FTC back in 2014 on a piece of shit laptop AGAINST EVERYONE'S ADVICE. mine 80 FTC. worth nothing. forget about it.
Flash forward 2017.
Remember it. Oh look, now ETH exists, oh look ZEC, oh look at all these coins what the heck??
Hey guys, is GPU mining profitable? NO. It's too late man, your ROI will be real bad, don't do it, power costs are outrageous, yadda, yadda.
Sell mutual funds in January 2017. Buy mining hardware. AGAINST EVERYONE'S ADVICE
Set up rigs. Learn all the things. Enjoy the ride.
If I kept my Mutual Fund. My return would have been 6-7% at best.
Let's just say that mining/divesting yields a little bit more. Maybe more than a little. :)
Back on Steemit to share things that I think might be of interest to someone out there!
