Beginnings of this Blog

I started writing about crypto. It was fun and some people found value in it, so I made a subdoman specifically for it, not cluttered with other fun/facetious blog posts.

Most of the blogs will be re-posted here and have a redirect link on the old blog so the archived links aren't broken.

Even After a Correction, Bitcoin is Still Bigger than

Many people have been worried about the most recent 'crash', which many financial experts (which I am not one of) have said is just a correction from the recent hype. But how far did it go down and how high was it to begin with? This post from iWeblists.com shows the top 50 companies in the United States, organized by market cap of their stocks. At the time of writing this (late February, 2018), Bitcoin had a peak market cap of just over 330 Billion USD and is currently hanging just under 200 Billion USD. Today's marketcap is brought to you from Coinmarketcap.com's fancy widget. Numbers this large are hard to really fathom, so let's do some fun comparisons!

So I've compiled a list of some things you can do to keep your crypto safe! Remember that in many cases, all someone needs to take your investments away is just a private key. If you're unsure about private keys and other terms, I also wrote a beginner's vocab guide for this . The list below covers things that can help keep anyone more safe and secure, but of course does not cover every unique situation. Make sure your operating system and security software are up to date Just thought I should throw that out there if it wasn't obvious. 2FA - 2-Factor Authentication.
