Building On The Bitcoin Standard
I wanted to enter this brief article as an entry for the panel of the same name 2021 Bitcoin Standard Conference.
My journey in Bitcoin began in August 2013 when I finally did a deep dive into this bitcoin thing to find out what it was all about.
After about 24 hours of no sleep, I opened an account at Coinbase, and at that time bitcoin was all they offered with a recommendation to buy ten (10) and hold.
If I recall it took about a week to open an account, the price was a tad under $100 so I bought 10 BTC for a bit under $1,000. From then until 2018 I ran my business and devoted my spare time trading BTC and arbitraging between markets.
In 2017 I was blessed by finishing in the Top 10 Notational on Bitmex. And through April of 2018 after getting blown out of a fairly sizeable position decided to stop trading and start writing about my experiences trading.
I found out I enjoyed writing about trading as I did trading and almost immediately garnered a following.
