Excellent piece. I love that you bring in more than the trading for profit angle. This is perfect:
"When every single time the markets have done an about turn and recovered, most of the time superseding their original price? It doesn't make it sound nearly as dramatic when looking at the reality of the matter."
I have a friend more knowledgeable about crypto who ironically tags every post about it with #basicallydead lol.
I'm not very good with the specifics of blockchain but your article helped me see its potential as something far greater than "alternative money."
Thank you, @jrhughes! I'm under the firm belief that we are on the brink of a technological revolution which could change the way the world transacts forever. Mighty strong words, I know, but very conceivable nonetheless.
It's by sheer luck we all managed to stumble our way onto the platform and discover this amazing "glimpse" into the future as "crypto" and "Steemit" are still so early and unknown to the public at large. Hence, the potential to also amass a nice little fortune whilst in this special place is too very high indeed.
You're friend chose the most adequate tag to use. So many naysayers, so many speculators, it's becoming a bit of a free-for-all. But stick with it, @jrhughes, and I'm sure there's a light at the end of the tunnel that could possibly outshine your wildest expectations!
Thank you for your kind words and keep pushing higher every day! Bless... :)
