You're right, I have much to learn about investments -- someone was just suggesting today to maybe look into ripple that they were doing well with it.  I want to learn about "market cap" and "circulating supply".. do you recommend any good books?

I am just going to focus on making money mining and cashing out each week.  That's a lot easier.  I'll take like 25% of that profit and throw it in ethereum or something.   Hoping ethereum goes nuts over the next couple years and turns a small investment into something big.
