Fungus among us: the world of non-fungible tokens

A few posts ago, I mused about dApps, and, ever so delicately, skirted around the idea of collectibles in and on dApps and crypto.  But I want to dive deeper, because it's interesting AF. There's a way in which the tangible/material and the not-as-mu...

Crypto bounty hunting in a ghost town?

Being a fan of Westerns (ask me about my Sam Peckinpah habit) and primed to try and make crypto outta nothing, the whole idea of bounty hunting, of course, appealed on multiple levels. Time's my richest resource atm (thx virus!), so giggy microtaskin...

Underpants gnomes: understanding dApps

Now that I have a lil crypto, I'm more than a lil obsessed.  No shame in my blockchain (yikes, sorry). And I'm hodling, cuz the market's starting to cough and sputter (and yaas, I wanna learn to day trade, but I'm still 101).  Time to learn about dAp...

Pi 2: the clickening (or, thoughts on Pi mining)

So, when I left you last, I'd downloaded the Pi "mining" app in order to do a full(er) assessment (guess?) on its legitimacy -- and a prediction whether it'll become a shitcoin or a possible contender for the moon.  I downloaded the app, and register...

Pi: mud or a golden crust?

In my last post, I listed some ways I've learned to try and determine if a new altcoin is headed to the moon or to the shitter. None of these ways, of course, offer guarantees. But, along with some common sense and intuition, are, IMHO, decent-enough...

Moonshot or shitcoin?

If you've been reading along with this blog, so far, you'll know that I accumulated, converted and stored a lil modest $50 as Ethereum and Lumens, which, IMHO, is/was pretty safe and smart.  But, the fun of playing is...playing.  Since I had only a s...

My first fifty, part 3: buying the last $5

If you've been, or want to be, following along, I've been spilling the not-very-scandalous ways I patchworked together $50 USD with of crypto to learn and play with.  At the end of the last post, I'd made $45. Five-ish to go.  By now, I'd been feelin...

My first fifty, part 2: learning my way to $45

When I left you at Part 1, I'd made a tidy $20. At this point, I opened a CoinBase account. I don't adore having ten bazillion accounts, especially since, in the US, trading sites are regulated financial institutions (lite), and so I have to validate...

My first fifty, part 1: getting some COIN

So, there I was. In the middle of a pandemic, way too late to get on the Bitcoin gravy train, with (as I wrote in this post) nothing to lose. With (lots) of time on my hands, due to stay-at-home orders, I read about crypto and blockchain, understandi...

Crypto for the n00biest noob: you found your home

I'm often late to the party. Sometimes, that means I arrive just as people are feeling loose and already dancing.  Other times, it means that I get interested in cryptocurrency just as Bitcoin halves, and the party's broken up. But, it's OK. I'm also...
