So let me get this straight its a unit of money in which there is no one keeping track of i t and can't just take it i.e. the government?! My initial thoughts on it gave me this reaction....
Well I have to learn more about this! So how do I get into cryptocurrency? What do I need to do? Let me find some websites and learn a little. Okay (reading up on how bitcoin works in highly technical terms) this makes about as much sense to me as this:
Ok so someone told me to blog, lets blog!
Alright so I'll put out some good content, read up on whats popular, how hard can this be?! Oh i need to get into some chat rooms on Discord. Alright lets do that.... Okay! These guys are talking about cryptocurrency lets see what I can learn from being a fly on t he wall on voice chat...
