Happy 20th week of 2018! At the beginning of the year, I wrote an article outlining a New Year’s resolution that I thought could help boost cryptocurrency adoption and awareness in 2018, as long as enough people were doing it. Last week was the nineteenth installment of my challenge. It’s been a slower week than usual, unfortunately, but let’s dive into it anyway.
TRY TO SPEAK TO AS MANY PEOPLE ABOUT CRYPTOCURRENCY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN
I didn’t end up going out too much this past week, so my in-person conversations involving cryptocurrency were a bit limited compared to other weeks. However, I still had a few good ones online.
LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT CRYPTO
I think the coolest thing I learned this week was that I may be able to use my Raspberry Pi to either run a full node or start staking some PoS cryptocurrency. This is something I always kind of figured, but was pleased to start looking at the actual implementation and how exactly I will start going about it.
From what I can gather, it doesn’t appear all that difficult, and I may even write an article to explain to our readership how they can set their own up as well. I say this because I see some entire business models centered around taking a $35 computer (Raspberry Pi), putting it in a $5 case, configuring some software, then charging $180 for it. For something that can be DIY, I find that a bit too much to pay.
BE GENEROUS – GIVE AND USE YOUR COINS
I won’t lie: I didn’t get the change to give my coins this week or use them in any way. To atone for this, I’ll probably share some Doge with a friend in the form of a paper wallet I found when cleaning out a desk.
