Hi Mike - sorry to hear about your leg but it sounds like you're turning a generally bad experience into a good thing by getting into cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology which is clearly the way of the future now.

I'm in a similar situation as you - family, job, etc and have started investing in cryptocurrencies in hopes of securing a better financial future.

I've given you as big of a vote as I can to help get you started on the right foot (or the left foot - if it's your right leg that was broken ;-P). I hope that you find value here and potentially decide to make an investment directly in STEEM.
