Welcome to my first blog post! I was approved today as a "publisher" and decided the best thing I could do as a "first post" would be a basic introduction, so here you and I are!
As I learn the platform, I'm sure my posts will improve, with cool things like images, links, and other media, but for now, the typed word will have to do.
I am a 48 year old American male who has dabbled with crypto mining since the very beginning. In the early days, I used my 486 (yes 486) to mine bitcoin and actually had a few on a paper wallet. I didn't even have a printer, so I had to carefully write the address down in a notebook with a pen. At one time I had about 200 Bitcoin, but I traded them to a friend for a pizza when the value was less than .10 each! I also lost another 12 or so when I had the slip of paper in my pocket and washed my jeans and it destroyed the piece of paper! So I know first hand what it's like to lose over a million dollars in Bitcoin!
Over the years, I worked in the U.S. Army and as an Electrician, Foreman, Superintendent, Project Manager, and Business Manager. I have experience in Corporate Management and Government Contracting. I have worked on projects from the low $10k's to the well over $100 million.
Today, I invest in crypto directly through various means, but I primarily earn crypto in other ways, which I will teach about in future posts. Also thinking about posting on other topics if that proves to be of any interest. Since I am retired, I have ample time to mentor you towards the goal of financial independence and developing your investing portfolio. Getting to this point has taken a lot of work, but I am glad to be able to say I retired at 38 and have been doing a lot of learning and doing in the past 10 years! I am excited about not only about the potential of cryptocurrency in the coming years, but of the opportunity that Publish0x presents along the way!
Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to our future together!
