Welcome to the world of crypto-economics @plemmons. It is uplifting to me to see newer people join this arena. I feel it is the best move anyone can make.
We are going to see so many changes over the next few years that it really will amaze people. Those who are in early and work to amass as many coins as possible will be well positioned in my opinion.
It is an education for everyone. Things are moving at such a rapid pace. But that is a good thing.
