really good stuff in there , Thanks for the info .

I thinkindex7.jpg looks like BTC now

I love your vids! Keep up the great work!

Imagine your first intro to crypto was from Ellen :$

No, please dont... that said my first intro was from the mainstream media a few years ago saying it has hit $100 and was clearly a complete scam and in a bubble... Cant remember if they said it was a pyramid scheme or a ponzi scheme, but it was one of the two.

Ahaha that's a bit better. I on the other hand am a fool and had close friends try to urge me to get into mining since it's inception but I couldn't wrap my head around it

Well I had a fool moment too, I couldn't figure out what in the world a paper, hardware, software mobile wallet etc all were, so I just kept my bitcoin on an exchange for nearly a year before bothering to try and figure it all out. Fortunately for me nothing terrible happened to my exchange in the mean time before I got a Trezor but plenty of others in the same time period were not so lucky... I guess for all of us when we are first introduced to something we are not going to be experts in it.

Alls well that ends well, i def missed the boat but gonna try to catch up by grinding it out on steemit *Fingers crossed

I'm glad to see you got through a whole episode without "bullying" poor little Suppoman, the modest Superhero of Crypto. BTW he isn't interested in debating you, but he wants to fight you.... go figure...

Ellen doesn't even get the "normal" news right :))

I want to know what was going on with Ellen's right pocket. Funny stuff Doug

i still don't like the amount of attention ellen and other celebs have put on BTC in the past few days.

BTC is the wrong crypto for new players.

The biggest problem is that this attention lures "dumb investors". When I say dumb investors I mean people just investing in cryptos because they heard someone mentioning one will be rich in short time. They have no clue in what they are investing. Of course this can also be good for the market as we all saw late 2017 but can also have drastic outputs as we again saw early 2018 with all those scare sell offs after bad press and the tons of spreaded rumors. Many of those investors lost a bunch of money because many sold in loss scared of a complete market crash.
Dont' be a sheep! Develop critical thinking on your own!

IMO BTC is the only crypto for new players. Steem being second (not to buy mind, just to play with)

Bitcoin is the safe play, and hence the best option for newbies. You just can't go wrong with Bitcoin. Very easy to go wrong with a lot of altcoins if you don't know much.

ye bitcone is the best start. u are almost safe there.

I think the only wrong crypto for newbies are scams. BTC is just expensive, not complicated or elite.

hi duoug , always good to see you , i think ellen really tried no doubt about that , its a huge plus for bitcoin.
