Hacked
or
Lost it all, again
I would be lying if I told you that I made any money on cryptocurrency.
I am one of the Cryptopia losers and am verified with the trustee Grant Thornton.
It was exciting, for a while I even had the Auckland clock set up in Windows, hook, line and sinker.
I spent a lot and I have lost a lot, it is just the price I paid for learning.
I only ever spent money on hardware to mine, this was a good learning experience.
I have lost everything I mined a few times, hacked, fooled and defrauded, not in that order.
I only stopped mining recently when the price of power went ballistic.
I can still mine if I want to but it is difficult to justify, even just to support a blockchain.
My proclivity for careful wording pays off, notice I didn't predict Monero would be $18,000. <smile>
Monero has been a contender when it comes to shaping the crypto landscape, KYC matters today.
The entire trust landscape has been changed, or should I say chainged.
I am glad that I am still able to keep up and get to stay on the ride.
There will come a day when I won't be interested in doing that anymore I am sure.
Health matters a lot, a bad bout of anything can end happiness completely when you're old.
Penny was a good companion in the early days of SI, a true den mother.
I loved reading stories about everyday life, about everyday things noticed and commented upon.
SI came before blogging, SI gleaned us, we agglomerated and the result was a catalyst.
Today SI is an embedded system and there are many of us who can still spin those cogs.
The cogs are fully engaged as always, controlling vast movements in shadow realms.
.We came here to discuss gas pricing models and gold index predictions, it was about tech.
Today we have to define ourselves ever more clearly, there are so many reflections.
Even today there is nothing that prevents those old cogs from engaging in cross-section.
The teeth of the gears cut across ethnicity, sex, politics and in some cases even reason.
