My Mycelium Journey

 It's been a while, but grouting has finally begun! Will be exciting to have this room back. Not sure what to do with it, might move in for a bit while the rest of the tile works it's way around. RUGS!

Coinbase -  This is a place to exchange USD for some of the more common coins Like Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin, Dash. They are adding more coins as days go by, but if you want different or more rare coins you may have to get your USD into Bitcoin and then move it to an exchange. You'll have to send the crypto coins over the blockchain using a hashed version of the public key. The private key is the security behind your digital asset, don't share this with anyone you wouldn't want to have access to your coin.  The exchanges peg Bitcoin to the other "altcoins" (altcoins are anything that isn't Bitcoin). The price of the altcoin is actually in Satoshis which takes a little getting used to.  https://www.coinbase.com/join/larris_z    Once you get your account set up in Coinbase, you can go to Coinbase pro (same login/account) and the trades are cheaper.  https://pro.coinbase.com/  This disadvantage to pro is that you have to put your funds into the account ...

After pulling up the tiles because they didn't stick they are going back down. Slow process but looking good! Can't wait to get this room done!

I'm thinking this could be a very good time to get into crypto. It's so hard to do all the shit that getting into crypto takes. I have some stuff that looks like it's actually recovered from my epic "oops" that was 2018 FOMO so bad it hurt. That is just sitting on an exchange. I like the idea of a hardware wallet but it's so hard to keep these up to date. I'm struggling with the firmware updates. version 1.3.1... responded to the help ticket I had in on this. We'll see. at least it's progress.  Even on the exchange. it's so annoying that I have to verify the IP address every time that I log in with a 2-way authentication. I've logged on from this computer so many times but it's not where I set up the original account. Also, the authenticator is on a phone that is now 3 phones behind and is only being used for an authenticator... so another area that could take the whole process down.  why do wallets have to be so hard? the wallets on th...

It's more than just the speculation of a made-up overly volatile value. I signed up for Robinhood today. so much easier to jump right into trading. Very similar to online poker or game. There's not really any explanation of what you are getting when you sign up though. It's not overly clear that you don't actually own the coins. It's not clear what this value is. Is this only the value in Robinhood? you aren't able to trade the coins or buy things... only paired to USD. There are projects and ideas behind crypto coins and tokens. Maybe I thought too highly of Etherium a few years back. I laughed at Cryptokitties, aren't we still laughing at Doge in TikTok? Until I have a better alignment to fanboi status, maybe I should just keep to BTC. And then I think about a recent experience that worked really well... Dash (the ap)- super fast wallet, low fees, easy sign-up, easy QR code scan for send/receive. Bitrefill (the ap)- buying gift cards. So many options avail...
