Also, I'm a long-time BTC miner (started 2011) and trade in multiple cryptos. Written some automatic trading bots in python, and have consistently recommended people to check out Bitcoin as a currency and a concept. With the recent interest in Bitcoin, I feel inclined to help other people start living the Bitcoin lifestyle.

I've been a member/lurker here since 2011, would like to be whitelisted if possible.

Thanks Bitcoin Forum!
