What brought you to Bitcoin? How much of it have you accomplished? For me, it is the desire to earn a living off the internet without the encumbrances of a 9-5 job and having clients from all over the world pay me for my services without the limitations and regulations of fiat (a pity Bitcoin is being fiercely regulated too). I wouldn't say that I have accomplished that since I still support my earnings with "regular" jobs. I like the liberty of being in control of my time and how I work though I still have not gained that liberty completely. Nevertheless, I believe that with the plans I've implemented, being completely free from a 9-5 or "regular" is possible in 2 years.


What brought you to Bitcoin and how much of it have you accomplished?

nice question.

I had a Mac mini hot-rod upgrade business on ebay.
I came to bitcointalk because apple decided to spot weld the Mac mini and upgrades were not practical. (thank you Jobs and Cook)
I wanted to have some part time work and I like to post.

I accomplished that. It has been a long journey. I went from a Mac Pro with 1 gpu mining on Bitminter burning 350 watts to a 275kilowatt farm.

Never was a buy and hold guy I was and am a miner so watts into wealth is what I did.

I have been okay but will say I am not as wealthy as I want to be. Just far more than I thought was possible in 2012.
