yes danny! i too have had to 'check myself' in the last few weeks with regards to investments. i havent put much into anything at all but i didnt like how i was blindly investing just for the potential payout.
I'm currently rather interested in Golem. the shared decentralised computer power seems like a real decent step in the right direction for technology, in contrast to just making a quick buck!
ive also just this evening discovered food coin which seems like good use of blockchain also.
