Oh no! I’ve been watching from afar for probably... 5 years now? But I’ve become more actively engaged with things in the cryptosphere for about 1–1.5 years now. Started doing simple mining using Minergate, then started exploring alternatives and also came across Steem about 6 months ago. Started off slow, didn’t mess with it much for a couple of months, then really got into it and have been trying to build my SP up so I can post more frequently here! Also explored some of the EOS offerings, but since I don’t really own any substantial amount of crypto, I haven’t bought and EOS to buy into a social network there. I’m also exploring ways in which blockchain can be developed and implemented in other fields too. I think it, combined with cryptocurrency, is a fantastic technology that will lead the way in decentralization of the Internet, and other networks currently held in a centralized model.

Thank you for sharing, reads like a similar path. Mining seems to always be the common denominator for how most of us got here. I only knew the word "bitcoin" when I asked my son on spring break in 2014 what he wanted to do. He said build a dogecoin miner. From there we went to usb miners, orb miners, Antminers then graphics card milk crate miners. We invested our earning back into many losers, lost money on the crash of Cryptsy exchange and Cryptopia exchange. Trading has been successful for us so we are sticking with it. Yes good move on any knowledge/involvement you can have with cryptocurrency infrastructure, that will always be where the money is made. Good luck with any projects you can develop. I look forward to reading your posts.
