As I mentioned in my <a href="http://carltonmatthews.com/a-year-of-doing/"><strong>Year of Doing</strong></a> post, I was jumping out beyond my fears.  January was cryptocurrency and there were some wins and losses on that front.  </p>

<p>I am going to start with the loss to let it be a cautionary tale for everyone.  I would call it <a href="https://www.daveramsey.com/"><strong>stupid tax</strong></a> but it was even worse than that as I should have known better.  It reminds me of the story early in the book, The Richest Man in Babylon.  <strong>I ate my seed before it had a chance to produce a harvest.</strong>  I mentioned using a mining site to mine cryptocurrency but I didn't do enough research first.  The site turned out to be a <em>scam</em>. I wasted my <strong>1st litecoin</strong>.</p>

<p>Now onto the wins.  I have learned a bunch about the block chain.  This is a combination of using my <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/join/5a3aaed34c53f506ac514324"><strong>coinbase</strong></a> account and a course on <a href="https://www.udemy.com/ethereum-dapp/"><strong>Udemy</strong></a> about blockchain appp development.  I have also earned a few dollars from the money that I invested on coinbase when the <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/">BTC</a>, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/">ETH</a>, and <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/litecoin/">LTC</a> prices were down.</p>

<p>Most importantly I was able to move past the ButWhatAbout barrier of LackOfMoney.</p>]]></description><link>http://carltonmatthews.com/january-update-year-of-doing/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">a1c73f18-c553-4800-b585-9a7877d00723</guid><category><![CDATA[update]]></category><category><![CDATA[year of doing]]></category><category><![CDATA[cryptocurrency]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carlton Matthews]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 18:40:06 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
