As a precious metals investor for 7 years now and seeing the manipulation in those markets to keep the metals down,I have gotten into bit coin and Ether and enjoyed seeing my money grow finally.I haven't sold any silver or gold as of yet but might in the near future.It seems the crypto's are the only markets on earth that aren't totally controlled.I don't work for little pieces of green paper,I use those pieces of paper to pay my bills and purchase what I need,the rest its turned into out of the system assets.
I've lost all faith in my government,the dollar,the banks,servicing the debt and want nothing to do with this current system.
Bit coin has given me faith that I won't grow old I'm 48 now and have nothing saved for my old age.I 've never had a cooperate job where I had 401k's or any kind of savings apparatus so it hasn't been until the last 6 years that I have started buying gold,silver and bitcoin and now feel a sense of security for the first time in my life.I have had no prior experience with blog posting or anything like that so I'm a newbie who has recently found steemit and want to join the community and hope the community will have me.I have learned some valuable lessons in my short time since I've been involved in crypto currencies and my 2nd post will be all about them and hopefully I can save some people the grief I went thru as a newbie.
