I have a problem, well it's not a problem really more of an addiction. I love crypto, all things, mining, trading, holding, kitties. All of the problems. I got into mining a few years ago, mining the coin, the mother of them all, bitcoin. It started because of my dog. Yeah, sad story, my dog likes to go to parks and play with other dogs. I found a nice off leash park near my house in Twin Peaks, not the scenic one in the Netflix show, the other one in San Francisco. Being a good dog owner I talked to the other people that had their dogs running free in the open glen. One guy had a dog, not Bacon the residing prince of the park, anther one. He was nice, my dog liked his dog so that meant I could trust him. We chatted about a lot of things. One time we talked about how he got free electricity from the city so he mined bitcoin. He convinced me it was a great thing to do, back when Bitcoin was a couple of hundred of bucks. So it decided it would start mining. I bought a few small rigs and signed up to a pool and started mining. I never mined a coin, just fractions of them. My house had solar so I thought I was good. That was a poor assumption. My power bill ever increased and my earnings never kept up. So I thought well, I just need better miners. I bought a couple of S3 Antminers, and my power bill went up and I was getting .001 of a coin a month. I was in fat city, well not really I was losing money, but the crytpo craze was happening. I moved to a cheaper house in the east bay with more solar. I continued to mine and get my fractions. I branched out and started mining Ether too. Not a full coin just .05 or so a month. Then Coinbase decided to make it easier to get money and buy coins so I jumped on that as well. I also did more research and started buying Ripple, not the cheap booze but the next big crypto currency. I was rolling in all three, well not rolling. I had a lot of Ripple, not much bitcoin and ethereum was minimal. Then the ICO's came on, I found one I liked and am thinking I should jump into that craze. Any thoughts?
