At the beginning of 2018, 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 seventh installment of my year of cryptocurrency challenge. It’s becoming easier and easier, the longer I do this challenge, to keep to it. This week was rather interesting.
TRY TO SPEAK TO AS MANY PEOPLE ABOUT CRYPTOCURRENCY AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN
This week, one of the more interesting events I attended was a hybrid mini-conference and meetup in Chicago involving blockchain projects. There were excellent speakers and panelists discussing the industry and its future. They even raffled off an AntMiner (though I didn’t participate, since electricity costs 10.44¢/kWh in Chicago and I don’t need a loud heater in my apartment, though if I ever get the
Bitcoin beer idea going I may purchase a few). Here are the (mental) notes I made from some of my conversations at this event.LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT CRYPTO
It’s not necessarily crypto-related, but I am trying to learn more code so that I can participate in open-sourced projects on GitHub, so I am learning Git and continuing to bolster my Python. I’m also considering looking at Solidity. Learning code is actually something that I think is a very anthropological experience, especially when helped by a robust community. I will keep everyone posted on how that is going too.
BE GENEROUS – GIVE AND USE YOUR COINS
Continuing the thought above, a friend of mine sent me some resources to check out while self-teaching. I decided that they deserved some Dogecoin and sent them 100 Doge for the time they took to share their resources with me.
