Hello My Fellow Steemians. If you have been on Steemit for awhile than there is a 99% chance or probability that you have a "Coinbase" account. There has never been a platform that is as simple to navigate and as easy to understand as Coinbase.
As for my story, I have been a contributing member of the Steemit community for about a month now. So today I thought I would take some time to give you some advice that I learned along the way. I was hesitant to start posting on steemit because it dealt strictly with cryptocurrency. This "crypto" was new and very strange to me. Then I heard a true story about a guy that changed by whole perspective on cyptocurrency.
Back in 2010, when bitcoin (the first cryptocurrency) was introduced into the world, no one was willing to pony-up their hard earned cash for something that might flop in a matter of weeks. A computer nerd (like myself) bought $20 worth of bitcoin just for the heck of it. In May of 2010 this same guy who purchased the bitcoin wanted a pizza. The bitcoin owner had no cash so he offered his 18 year old friend (a fellow nerd) his 20 dollars worth of bitcoin for the pizza (2 large pizza's to be exact). Grudgingly the nerd with the cash accepted his bitcoin and they got the 2 large pizza's. Now here's where it's gets interesting . . .

Do you know how much that $20 dollars of bitcoin is worth today?! $100? $1000? $10,000? Nope. Nope. Nope. Not even close. Since 2010 the value of bitcoin has grown exponentially. Try $115 MILLION dollars. Yep, you heard that right . . . One Hundred and Fifteen Million Dollars. $20 worth of bitcoin (back in 2010) is now worth $115 MILLION dollars. Yea . . . unfreaking-believable. Do you think the nerd who purchased the bitcoin in the first place is kicking himself in the head right now? Uhhhhh . . . yea - most likely. Is $115 MILLION dollars worth two freakin' pizza's?!
Anyways, I tell you this story for a very specific reason. You too should step up before other people inevitably jump on board and make it more expensive for us all to buy this very profitable cryptocurrency. Since every little bit helps I am giving you something that was given to me . . . and in turn, I am giving it to you as well.
If you google who the most trusted cryptocurrency provider (exchange) is in the world - you will always come up with one answer . . . COINBASE. It's free and easy to sign-up so you literally have nothing to lose when you get yourself a Coinbase account.
In addition, I just recently found out that I made $10 worth of bitcoin because I signed up by someone who referred me to the Coinbase website. Of course they got $10 worth of bitcoin as well but that's $10 dollars more bitcoin than I had before and I am thankful that I found his referral link.
Now it's my turn to share my wisdom and coinbase link with you all . . . https://www.coinbase.com/join/5a603b002e17c1049ca734eb

If you don't use the link and just sign up the usual way, you will be out of $10 bucks. And so will I. That is like throwing $10 out of your car window while driving down the street. So I urge you to share this post and use the link above so we both can make some money.
I have attached the screenshots to show you exactly what I mean. Please feel free to comment with any questions down below and don't forget to follow, upvote, and share. Thank-you for helping me - help you.
