I very recently got into the world of cryptocurrency and I am already a fan. I got in right in the middle of the Steam Sale but this time instead of buying like 10 games I only bought a few. I realized I wasn't playing 75% of my 168 games on Steam and wanted to use my money more productively. Enter ethereum! I was always interested in investing and the stock market so I setup a coin wallet through Coinbase and bought my first cryptos - ethereum. It's an exciting and evolving market and it's cool to be an early adopter because I think this IS the future. Then I bought some Litecoin, a bit of Bitcoin, and other small cryptos like Golem, Monero, and Antshares. I wanted to try to diversify as much as I could and invested in ones with nice growth and good devs. I bought low and plan to HODL or sell high, I guess. Excited to see a small project develop and cryptos in general becoming more mainstream. Hopefully, more places adopt them so they spread faster and skyrocket even more in value.
TL;DR: I bought cryptocurrency instead of more games on Steam.
