RE: Diving head first into Crypto:
Sounds like we have very similar investing strategies when referring to crypto-currencies with the same "logical", "physical", and "too good to be true" methods:
I just started with Genesis Mining only three weeks ago. I've since bought three contracts (using other's affiliate codes), and I'm at 35 MH/s of Ether and 1 TH/s of Bitcoin. All together the contracts cost me $1,134, and I've already made about $90 back in these first three weeks. My affiliate code is ROiDS2
My physical way is two-fold. I'm simply long-term holding both Bitcoin and Ethereum. And I have a friend, who is much more tech savvy than me, who is going to build a mini-mining farm in an old trailer. I'll help finance and build it.
Finally, I also have an account at BitConnect. I've only got $210 lent out now, because it does sound "too good to be true". But I've already returned over $25 in just three weeks from that $210. I'll probably put up a $1,010 loan next week. Can I use your affiliate code for that new loan, if I'm already signed up? If so, I will use yours, but I think they are only for new sign-ups. My BitConnect affiliate link is https://bitconnect.co/?ref=BigTallChris
My plan is to get my initial investments back, then go 50-50 after that...meaning reinvesting half of the gains and realizing (cashing out) the other half. By the way, I JUST joined Steemit, and yours was the 2nd article that I read! Sounds like we have very similar "crypto interests", I'll give you a follow. I haven't posted anything yet, but probably will within the next day. Best of crypto-investing to both of us!
@bigtallchris, it does seem that we are moving in the same direction with our crypto investing. I am still using the same logic as always. Never invest more than you are willing to lose. At the end of the day it is all just a gamble, we just hope we end up ahead.
I am now following you as well and look forward to reading your posts, also added your referral info so I can use it in the near future.
@artonymous It's your turn to be happy! I just bought 2TH/s more of Bitcoin lifetime mining and used your code! They say it won't start until 2/28/18, so I'm not sure when it'll show up for you. The increase has already shown up on my dashboard, but the mining probably won't start until the end of February. In any case, you should have a good, little chunk of free Bitcoin mining coming your way!
Just like two months ago, I've been waiting for them to resell Bitcoin mining again, so I wanted to jump on it!
