As Bitcoin shoots for a lunar landing, I was asking my husband last night about Graphics Cards and those really big thingies they string together with cords in the mining place....GPUs he calls them.
We live very near Micron so this explains the quiet buzz lately. A handful of those electrical engineers are into cryptos. Most of them still don't know that they should be buying Bitcoin instead of manufacturing faster GPUs to get rich. And I'm learning a lot.

These fascinate me. As I spin up on my Blockchain knowledge (remember I'm a biochemist and right now a housewife and mom?) I'm thinking of never going back to biochemical or chemical research, but....want to use the GPUs to start up a hedge fund based on cryptos. Double all profits, keep a hefty sum and hire a boatload of young locals to write code in order to start my own ICO. Own a few Bitcoin ATMs and an office and teach my children about all this as part of their homeschool. Build a futuristic legacy and buy them each a Dolorean (?sp?).
There you have it. Micron is still kicking. Maybe we'll all get rich!
