Welcome to Steemit @tcblack. I had an Atari 64k computer back in the 80's, and some of my friends had Commodore 64's. I really loved that computer, so I can relate to you. In my town we had an Atari users group called ACUSOFT. It was a very good group that had it's own software library for sharing with members. Those were great times!

As for the cryptocurrencies, I'm invested in several incuding Steem, and Steem Power, but it looks as though governments around the world including the USA are starting to crack down on them. Crypto's threaten their fiat currencies, and monopoly on money you know. I'm afraid they're going to choke them through banking regulations, much like they did with the online gaming industry. By making it illegal for banks and visa/mastercard etc. to allow funding through these institution. Said differently, they'll block those purchase transactions. This will effectively kill crypto's by choking off their cash flow. I hope I'm wrong. Yes, I really hope not, but it looks that way in light of recent news. Maybe it's time to start writing congress, but I doubt they'll help.

Again, welcome @tcblack! Good luck Reverand, and I hope to get to know you better.

Take are,

James @jamesgun
