@misslasvegas - cannot agree with you more - great points. $1,000 invested in Amazon's IPO 20-years ago now worth nearly $640,000....that's the kind of democratized access to capital all of us should be able to experience. The merchant comment is a great point, either way, they would need to make it cheaper and work faster for the small businesses to hop on so I think that's almost a better sign. Unless they are really building a certain image and don't actually uphold it. If not a scam, should be great!
You're right about buying Ethereum...ordered 4 of em around $250 - have been trading heavily the last 7 weeks and ETH was like $54 when I started....my entire portfolio is up about 20%, but would shooting past 5x right now had I just held ETH instead of the alts! Haha - gave you a follow and upvoted your comment, looking forward to building this Steemit community together!
Well thank you for that. Following you right back! Have yet to read your posts, but will get to it. I'm quite new here and there is just so much to read, I need an extra 24 hours in a day! But my first impression is that this community has quite a nice mix of people and the posts offer guidance to anyone, from newbie to pro, which is nice. And wow, too bad you didn't hang on to ETH. I did a similar thing buying THC when it was quite low and then because I had BTC stuck in limbo but wanted to buy another alt, I got rid of the THC instead of waiting for the BTC to get through. The very next day THC doubled! But no harm done, I'm sure things will fall into place anyway. I guess it's all a bit of a gamble anyway, but one with more chances and it sure beats betting against the bank!
