VeChain is an amazing crypto! I heard it from a friend who began to buy them just like you back in December 2017. However, his goal was not to be a node. I was looking for some extra material on this topic and you just presented what I was looking for.
Would you mind sharing some of your sources since there's little citations throughout your article? It will be much appreciated. I already looked into The Crypto Guy's blog. Cheers!
