My (Thankfully Not So Long) Journey To Becoming An Investor (And How I Found Neblio)

I am happy to announce I am no longer a trader, I am a believer!!

I am not an expert on cryptocurrencies, and sadly I don’t have powers to predict the future… But I tell you what I’m good at, I can research the bejeezus out of anything. That’s why I enjoy my job, I can research all types of different industries, companies etc and in the process learn some more. Like I mentioned in my introduction, I am new in the crypto world. And while I thought I understood the concept, it wasn’t until this weekend that it finally clicked. I was reading a newspaper from Colombia where they were explaining the blockchain. In summary it said:

Blockchain is to transactions, like, Internet is to information

Now, most of you already know this, but I didn’t! and boy was I happy that I finally understood the depth of this revolution. Transactions are going to be so transparent and clean, there is not going to be a need for a log keeper. No need for banks or monetary policies. So finally after understanding the concept, I realized I was no longer in the market as a trader, but as an investor. Back in the dotcom bubble, the companies that survived, were the ones that offered a service, or a platform for the technology to grow. I now understand any type of transaction will be able to happen within the blockchain, so it was my new mission to find the best platforms, not the specific transaction tokens.

So, I set on a quest to find the tokens that I truly believed in. Tokens that will allowed me to feel proud of myself for being the supporter of the change makers. Mind you, I am not a whale, or a dolphin, definitely plankton on the way to minnow, but nevertheless part of the change.

I decided to keep my Steem as I do believe this platform is part of the revolution. By interacting with respect and offering all types of information, Steemit is definitely going to be an influencer. I also decided I wanted to find a token that allowed for blockchain development, and I came across Stratis and Neblio. Stratis seemed to be decent, but then I looked at Neblio, and oh boy was I intrigued…

Neblio went from $7 to $50 in from January 6th to January 9th.

So then I went to twitter to figure out what the hell happened that day:

So Nebl.io (clever) gives you all the information about the platform and the links to the specific wallet where you can stake your neblio (by the way, they also have a very nice community and communicate very efficiently through Slack). I took advantage of the bearish market and got me some of that awesome Neblio (sadly not enough, remember me plankton).

I can sit here and tell you how the token price will increase and blah blah blah. But I want to tell you about my findings, because I do believe in the project. I do believe the blockchain is the future. I know Steemians reading this post know this, but maybe I can help somebody else find their light.

Because the same way I was offered all this information thanks to the internet, I want to be able to one day complete all my transactions with the blockchain.

Aloha Steemy Friends, I hope you are all able to find a token you truly believe in.
