Re: BTC Consumption

@cyberclones When I first got into bitcoin I spent 100% of my time the first 7 days or so reading everything I could find on bitcoins then I found out that there were these things called altcoins so that took some time as I wanted to learn all about all of them(I had a lot of free time last summer as I had taken it as I wanted a break before going back to school in the fall). I was able to ween myself off of it slowly over the summer to the point that when sept came I was only spending about 20% of my free time on it.

Now since I'm not as inclined to chase every new altcoin that is coming out and have dialed in the projects I want to follow I would guess I spend about 1-2 hours a day reading what I can however I have managed to go a couple of days without checking whats new a couple of times too.

I think it is safe to say that it is quite exciting especially in the beginning!

I have found that my time is still fluctuating just over 10 - 14 hours a day working on Bitcoin related projects so it is still pretty consuming for me but that is down from when I started and literally every minute that I wasn't sleeping was dedicated to Bitcoin and the alt coins.

Re: Podcast tracking

@popinjay Has the magic word started yet? I noticed the dropdown menu item of magic word

Doesn't sound like it has yet..... I believe the next show will have it though.

Re: BTC Consumption

@angrycanuck I could easily take 50% of my day with it, the entirety of the BTC and offshoots is HUGE. However I try and limit myself to

It is one of those things you can easily find yourself spending a lot of time on.

It is sort of like when I goto Wikipedia and start with one article. As I am reading the article I find myself opening up new ones in additional tabs behind the scenes to also read those when I am done reading the current one, I move on to the next tab and the next thing I know I have like twenty open and just keep going down this rabbit hole for a while!

Re: Do you have a Circle wallet?

@dirtyboots702 If I had to guess, they are backed by those interested in regulations that may be in the works to operate a US based exchange service...just a thought though

They so far have received $9 million from Jim Breyer, Accel Partners and General Catalyst Partners.

Re: Bitcoin Keychain Auction - includes USA shipping

@markxmayer As availability on Amazon has been mentioned, it is listed at $12 (Prime) and $10 elsewhere online - if that helps gauge the value for your bids.

It does! Thanks for the tip. I just have to go see what LTBC is trading for right now :)

Re: BTC Consumption

@thebitcoincpa BTC Consumption in an interesting inquiry therefore I decided to chime in. I am currently on a self-guided MBA program with bitcoin almost completely immersing myself to the point of spending nearly 50% of my time if I include all of my thought energy. It's basically all I think about.

Also keep in mind that I am writing a book called The Ultimate Bitcoin Business Guide for Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses which has turned into a massive undertaking. I am so committed to the project that I have to think about bitcoin constantly to get this project done.

I think its a healthy obsession. Its seems like I never been more excited about something in my entire life than bitcoin and all its possibilities. Also my intention is to turn the 50% of my time into 100% of my time focused on crypto related projects.

That's all for now Kirk out.

That is awesome that you are working on a book! I'd love to chat with you on Coin Fire sometime if that is cool!

That is the way I look at it as well, it is certainly a healthy obsession. We aren't all hopped up on meth or something crazy. We are talking about a revolutionary piece of technology that is capable of changing the world in so many ways. I think that is a wonderful thing!

Re: LTBCOIN for the Audience!

@adam

@coinfire Just listened to this week's episode, thanks for such a kind plug Adam! Quick side part though, is the magic word implemented in Episode 127. If it is, I may need to relisten lol.

No, I didnt think we would have the system for another few days so I was conservative. Turns out its ready now, so other shows will roll it out before LTB will

I'm excited to enter some magic words :)

Re: Bitcoin Keychain Auction - includes USA shipping

I have no idea what to even bid on these to be fair. I'm certainly thinking about getting one though in all honesty!
