I started in bitcoin in 2013 and was sucked down the rabbit hole like most of the stories I hear regarding users first interactions with bitcoin and it's technology. I have been very patient and never lost faith doing my research for both education and investment purposes. I am a techie by trade so crypto is a perfect fit for me as it is for many who would be reading this.
Fast forward 3 years, and on one hand, it may appear things haven't "boomed" they way we hoped back in 2013 looking 3 years ahead. However, the space is maturing, getting stronger and more self reliant. The number one fact over the last few years is, "Bitcoin didn't die!" and neither did crypto currency. I am posting this article on a social media site which is powered by it's own blockchain! Go Steemit!!
Today (meaning summer 2016), ethereum survived a controversial hard fork, bitcoin survived it's controversial halving, coinbase (and gemini) have added ether to their exchanges. and so much more is going on behind the scenes that we can only imagine. There are those who think it's too late to get in but everything going on right now is new; even the internet and mobile phones are new in the grand scheme of things. Everything is evolving so fast around us it's sometimes hard to see which is why main stream adoption WILL hit once the right pieces are in place for it to happen. Think about it, we couldn't have had "video on demand" back in the blockbuster days only a few years ago because internet wasn't ready. When crypto is ready, they will come and you will be able to say, "see I told you so." Good day my fellow crypto and non crypto friends alike.
I was a litle to late on the Steemit hype to be meaningfull right now, but surely there will come more opportunities . Crypto is here to stay!
