Hive account@ilovesteemit Wow, from gold coins to bitcoins and beyond. That's definitely a leap of faith that many would never have taken and I'm very glad it worked out well for you! There's no doubt there's a future in cryptos and I agree wholeheartedly that Steem has potential. It's the first crypto based social media platform so there's little else to compare it to as of yet but Steem is setting a whole new precedent in previously uncharted territory. In a social media era, no one would argue there's a lack on interest or potential in trying to explore the possibilities it has to offer.

At 35 cents ETH would have been one heck of a bargain buy-in considering it's current value is just shy of $13 a piece now, not to mention the ETH/ETC fork that caused people to have equal holdings in each almost overnight.

It sounds like your knowledge and willingness to keep abreast of the crypto world as it evolved was instrumental in your success and I thank you very much for your inspiration and in-site into your methods for success.
