Introduction of Crpyto_cocktails

I have been looking for alternatives to the traditional "social" media after learning about Block Chain technology. And how I became excited about Block Chain is a whole other story. If someone would ask me about Bitcoin, I would waste no time saying it was bogus and a rip off. Why? That is what the main stream media was telling me right? ! Then after getting more and more people asking the same question, I decided to take a look. After all I don't believe anything else the "fake new" Industry tells me, why am I believing this?
It didn't take long for me to realize that Block Chain is "Internet 3.0". You see, I was first introduced to what we call the internet in 1988. I had just moved 700 miles to a new city and met a neighbor who was one of those guys that had built a Heath Kit Computer in his garage several years ago. Now, he had an IBM PC in his house, just like the computers we had a work.

He then introduced me to UU Net which was an iteration of the ARPA Net. He showed me how you could type in a few words like "blonde jokes" and the screen would show line after line of blonde jokes. All on a green text on a black screen. It was novel at the time and I didn't really pay attention to it as I was too busy at work learning Lotus Spreadsheets. Years later, He called me over and said you gotta see this! It was the WWW and how it used hypertext. I then realized that there was something to this and if Companies ever embraced it, it would change "everything'.

It didn't take long until I purchased my first Computer which had a 486 processor and a 56K modem. When we turned it on for the first time, we were amazed at how freaking fast it was,(compared to the 286 and 28K modem). It blew our hair back.We spent hours in "chat rooms". We went to computer shows and suddenly Stores were opening up selling computers and accessories. To make a long story short, we knew that computers were going to change things, but we didn't know how to capitalize on it. I thought, learning how to make websites and avatars would make me some money and I have made some good cash from pay for click on websites. We were too young and dumb to invest in the Internet bubble until it was too late. I am now bound and determined not to screw up this opportunity of the next itteration of the internet. At 65 years old I am available to give some of my wisdom and wit. Some of you all are starting to make money from Bitcoin and the Block Chain. Some of you are young and this may be the first time you are making money from the work of your own hands instead of working for someone else. You may not know it yet, but that alone opens up a whole new set of problems. (For US readers) If you make money here in the land of the free, you must report it to the IRS and if necessary give a portion of everything you were paid to the IRS. So if you make a thousand dollars, do not spend it all! Put some aside for Taxes. That's right Taxes. People don't go to jail for hording money in their mattresses, the go to jail for not reporting income, here in the land of the free.
Now, think about this: If you are making money and you have to report it as income, then you are also entitled to deduct expenses that it took you to make that income. Hence the name Crypto-Cocktails. Lets hope that some day my liquor bill will be deductible. (ok ok don't be so uptight, I'm kidding.

I am not a trader, but a HODL'er . Looking forward to my time on Steemit.

Take that Zuckerberg!
