This is an interesting story. The first i think i've read of yours tbh. I think i head you though last week when @themarkymark was doing his live feed curation session. I was in the boonies though and forgot how quickly being off wi-fi eats up data so i didn't get a chance to hangout there long. I enjoyed hearing the conversation that I did get to hear. I heard about bitcoin in about 2013 too. I wish that I would have dug a little deeper at the time. I figured it was all so technical i just encouraged my partner at the time to mine. Which happened briefly and was so fruitful considering what it seemingly took. I guess i totally feel that 'more bug' haha. That phase could have really been much better had i dug a little deeper & pushed a little harder! And, the interest i feel comes from a similar root as you too @acidyio the craving of freedom. And, for doing my own thing. To be different from the sheepish nature of the crowd. It's awesome and empowering to be here Steeming! This is the beginning of a new era! Like you, i grew up with grunge & the internet. Let's hope we can see it used to rattle more chains of FREEDOM as we continue! Lots of love, peace, joy & blessings!! Have an awesome day ✌
