Hello Steemit.

My name is Mike. I am a stay at home Dad, enthusiastic Tottenham Hotspur supporter, and growingly becoming a cryptocurrency / blockchain enthusiast.

I am an American who found Spurs in the time of Martin Jol. Tottenham has gotten me through some rough spots in life. Keano was my first favorite player. Bale got me off my seat the most. Modric is the best I've seen in our shirt. Harry is one of our own. The club is my biggest passion and likely what I will write about the most.

I have a fairly useless degree in Poli-Sci, that yielded little bread winning until my recent foray into the world of cryptocurrency. In this space, diligent research and a decent understanding of economics go a long way. For years I had been fascinated by bitcoin but did not put my money where my mouth and mind were. Then I became interseted in Ethereum only to watch it rise. I decided to get into ETH before I deemed it "too late." I ended up selling early to pay some bills but got back into crypto this summer. I ended up becoming an active member of the PIVX community for a while, where I met some great people and learned a lot. Although I no longer consider myself a Pivian, I owe of my network and knowledge to chatting and connecting in their slack. I joined a telegram group with some of the members of that slack and soon became immersed in Alts and ICOs. Some of the bigger fish liked my research skills and bad jokes, and made me an admin of the chat and and enlisted me to help do recon and research for ICOs and newer coins. I am now starting to learn how to make economic models for coins / tokenomics from another!online friend turned mentor. Some of my favorite coins are EOS, NULS, and OMG. I hope to share some of my coin reviews here to help out other newer investors and to learn from the rest of you as well.

Hey, I'm Oatmeal Joey, and bad jokes are better than no jokes and I have BTC but not any ETH yet but I do love it all. We lie in a whole new world and it is amazing.

I've got the good, the bad and the ugly for jokes. Love the brave new world we have.

Welcome to steemit. I hope u have a nice time here. Expecting more posts from o

Welcome @banksyissatoshi! I too have useless degrees ...in finance and information systems. Or, perhaps I'm useless and can't make sense of how to put them to good use. Anyhow, I've moved on to writing fiction over @danielshortell.

I must say though, my degrees have helped me to understand the whole blockchain revolution (from both monetary and technical perspectives). My portfolio includes a range of cryptos (diversity!) from the currency side of things, protocol side and security side. I'm still holding off on a long term position on tokens until I see some clarity with respect to which platforms are going to successfully scale. Me likes the LTC, NEO, IOTA (yes, yes, even amid all the controversy), ADA, ETH and many more.

Ok, best and much success here, following you :)

Agree with you on both the degrees coloring the cryptosphere and on diversification. On top of the coins i already mentioned i also am high on zrx, lrc, drgn, neo and supply chain coins (such as mod, ven, wtc, amb)

Happy steeming, Mike!👌👍👍

nice intro with pic :-) looking forward to your blogs ! - Arv

Looks like you've recovered from the flu! Glad you're going to share some of your thoughts on your crypto choices.

Hey, welcome to steemit!

That's quite a resume, you should do well here. For video reviews, check out dtube, and if you prefer a cleaner blog environment and more markdown features, busy.org is a great place to check out.

I'm @markrmorrisjr and I work with a lot of newcomers. If you haven't yet, you're likley to run into bandwidth issues once you start posting. Here are some free things you can do to minimize the problem. You'll also find the competition for eyeballs can be stiff, so, here are some ideas I'm using to build a new account to test the differences in the platform since I got here 2 years ago. If you need anything, don't hesitate to find me, or follow @dolphinschool (That's my new acccount) for new tips and hacks every day!

awesome thanks for the advice and welcome

Welcome mate! Enjoy your stay and here is my upvote to get you on your way!
