Photo by Micheile Henderson on UnsplashI was first exposed to Bitcoin and Ethereum wasted in a bar. I had recently been divorced, and the woman I was seeing was totally taking advantage of the state of depression I was in. We had got to the part of the date where we were talking about jobs. I told her I was a teacherand what I taught. She was like, \u201cSo you can teach economics right?\u201d I said, \u201cYeah, but who wants to teach that? I did not think anything of it at the time, and we continued seeing each other. On one of our subsequent dates, she said the magic words.\u201cHey, have you ever heard of Bitcoin?\u201d I said no, and she gave me her pitch (it was wrong) about Bitcoin and how it was guaranteed to make me rich. I was several pints in and totally not in the right frame of mind, but I was like, whatever, let\u2019s give it a shot. I downloaded an exchange and made my first purchases, and went about my business. A few dates later, she introduced the concept of \u201cmining\u201d and proclaimed that I could get \u201cfree\u201d Bitcoin and Ethereum. This is the part that got me in trouble. As soon as I heard that I could get \u201cfree\u201d Bitcoin and Ethereum, I went crazy because naturally, when I saw the graphs and did the math, I thought, \u201cHell yeah, I\u2019m going to be rich.\u201d I thought I knew what mining was because I read a couple of how-to guides, and then was like, I totally got this.Naturally, since this woman was going to finally make me \u201cstupid\u201d rich, I continued to see her. This woman kept me pretty liquored up while I was pursuing the whole mining aspect of crypto. One morning\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
