I heard about bitcoin back in 2013 and didn't really think it was anything serious outside of silkroad shit. And then I worked at an electronics repair shop and my boss bought several bitcoin at a few hundred a piece. I quit that job half a year later. Years down the road, I see where the numbers have gone and I feel like I missed out thinking this was all the equivalent of chuckie cheese tokens that didn't have value outside of the internet. Fuck I was dumb...
Anyway, I have become very proficient with technology since. All my research has lead me to me owning my own fullnodes/ledger nodes, darknet wallets and airgapped wallets that only function over serial connection - I study and research all the ways to "own" your crypto without relying on exchanges and online wallet systems and how to maintain device and network security. Which products made by who and verifying the actual functions. The different git projects that are out there (shout out to raspiblitz).
I've only got the equivalent of a few pennies of skin in crypto - but honestly studying the technology and utilizing it vs. just investing and watching numbers go up has made me appreciate this lifestyle even more. I don't see crypto as an investment - maybe its because I'm so poor and we're where we are at, the only way to have significant fun is to have a significant amount to toss at this - - - - rather my processes of anonymously converting fiat into crypto currency and holding the hashes in my personal air-gapped piggy banks and have these sit with my pile of unliquidables and then waiting and seeing what happens with the world, has me wondering - -> is there value in this? <--
Can I help other users obtain this level of anonymity and control over their hash-cache and help expand networks to maintain decentralized finance?
I am not trying to avoid taxes, I run businesses above the board and I report every dollar that comes in, I view my hoarding of crypto in no way different than if I were tossing a few bucks into a piggy bank - though the cypto piggy bank appears to be a great hedging tool against falling fiat values.
Because of my lightning-nodes, I have been able to process some business transactions and it's pretty cool to sit there and see these "internet-numbers" have value that I can cash in somewhere when I need to.
In what ways could an advance linux / networking systems guy be of service with the crypto community? Where could I focus my research in ensuring I am able to keep with the current state of the art?
