It's the most popular question I get here on Brave New Blockchain. Everyone wants to know: How much bitcoin do I own?
I'd be willing to wager that it's the most popular question crypto bloggers get, and that's understandable. Who gives a shit about the poor? Who am I to give you advice? If there are no hard statistics proving otherwise, you might be doing better than me, for all we know. But it puts me in an interesting conundrum: How am I supposed to tell you how much cryptocurrency I have when one of the main tenets of security (and therefore expertise) in the crypto space is to keep quiet about it so I don't make myself even more susceptible to hackers?
If only there were a name for this type of scenario...
If I told you, for example, that I have over 9000 Nano, the common wisdom goes (on r/cryptocurrency anyway), that all I'd be doing is opening myself up to getting hacked. But that's not true, is it? If I don't tell you how much crypto I have (and show proof that I have it, unlike 50 Cent), then you won't believe that I'm actually any good at this.
The solution? I'm going to make one tiny investment public. I'm going to start with $550 (probably closer to $500 after fees).
I plan on buying Nano. Or steem. But if someone has another cryptocurrency they would prefer for me to watch, comment below and give me a good argument.
This way we can be investors together. Isn't that so much better than knowing how much bitcoin I have?
