Great work in covering a lot of places. I recently just saw a clip from @georgedonnelly, a 47 minute-long clip explaining in-depth of basically everything about the platform. I’m actually new here… well not literally though, as I joined sometime ago in 2016/17, but with little to no understanding of what, how and why I was here, I lost interest, then sometime in 2021 January, I created this account, with the intention of making money because I was at a low point in my life then…. Still lost interest as expected because the intention was wrong, then coming in again with this same account, I was smart this time not to lose my keys 🔑 😅… that’s a plus for me though 😌… so coming back this time, I came with the intention to, the right one now I must add… to provide value and most of all, to be consistent in doing that. Over the last year, I’ve been doing this for free on other platforms solely for the purpose of having a community to later build a website, precisely a crypto news website… this was as a result of a problem I stumbled on while carrying out a research on breaking news that affects the market immediately because apparently I’m a crypto currency trader … there’s this saying that, when you’re looking for something and it takes you through difficult routes just to get to the solution, then perhaps provide the solution of making that solution less difficult to find. So this is my sole purpose on the crypto news blogging I want to start doing here… more details on my introductory post. I’ve said a lot… in all…. Thank you for value, that’s what I stand for… so I don’t miss it when I see one. Great job.
