Hey guys,

With recent talk about cryptocurrencies, I wanted to push myself to create this thread and try to share some things that I've learned so far about cryptocurrencies.

I intend to share a lot in the thread. Please "follow" to be updated when I post...

Mike

For general talk, feel free to use this thread. Detailed topics like choosing a wallet(s) might be better served in their own dedicated threads.

But yes, I look forward to more contributions in this area!

Also, I think one thread per (alt/shit/stable) coin is best, to organize it.

On that news pancakeswap is trading lower today, big fan of French Toast though.

Joking aside glad to see @Big Mike adding crypto to the site. Even if I don't actually trade them they are very interesting to read about.
