Steemit is yet another shining example to those who said you could never make money from FOSS

@dickturpin the more I learn about crypto's the more I realize that money does grow on tree's, well it never used to, but it does now thanks to them. Exciting times ahead :)

So back in the day when Bitcoins first appeared I was pretty vocal on deriding this Funny Money
I've been way off the mark about two things loosely connected to the Open Source community.

Minecraft: "Why the hell would anyone want to play rubbish 8bit games?"

Bitcoins: "Oh yeah right, so you're saying that if enough people support it anyone can create a money system? OK, then I now say a leaf is worth a thousand pounds!"

If only I had accepted bitcoins (which I was offered as donations back in the day) I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams now. ☺

I know nothing about all this Cryptocurrency lark. I even lost $1.00 when I transferred it out of my Steemit savings to what I presume was a black hole? LOL
