A very interesting situation and potential moral dilemma seems to be in the works. Are you going to post the results of your decision and how the conference unfolds? It may prove to be an excellent networking opportunity, and if nothing else, now you know you're not holding out for "what ifs."
Any cryptocurrencies you're particularly interested in on top of BTC and STEEM?
I hope your 15,000 monthly food budget isn't in USD, otherwise I'll finally feel relieved that I've met someone who spends more on food than me, haha!
I will leave the decision unanswered, more fun that way =)
The money is in Philippines Pesos. I wish I had a $15,000 food budget... Haha.
I have my eye on a shortlist of about 10 alt coins... I think that is where the big money will come into play. And this is why I am building up as much capital as I can muster, for the remainder of 2017. Then I will add volume, and store my coins offline for a few years.
I need to do more research, as there are newer and newer coins coming out every day. It's a lot to keep up with. :)
Thanks for your comment =)
