Hello Brave New World! I am Calico Jack. A Millennial Male 32 years of age from the US of A. Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency, Mining, and technology Junkie.

After waiting weeks from my initial registration I am finally on Steemit and very excited at that ( worth the wait). I am altogether a "noob" at content creation when it comes to social media platforms, minus of course my personal Instagram and Facebook which I have not kept up with in the past years. And by most accounts still a "noob' in the cryptocurrency space. I began my interest in Bitcoin and everything crypto back in July 2017 as many did and I have not looked back since. In that time I am and have been an avid user of YouTube for entertainment, information and research purposes. (don't worry I don't stop there, I of course do my own research and time spent digging through the internet. Nobody should take information at face value, especially in this information overload age)
It has really helped me in the past year to learn more about cryptocurrency and mining thanks to all the dedicated content creators in the space. I am very thankful for all the time and hard work everyone in the community has put in. I believe it is essential to the growth of the space and without powerful platforms such as this and others, the explosive growth would not be possible. Imagine it is just the beginning! Shout out to my favorites and people to follow at the end.

Enter Steemit. What a great way to take advantage of the new decentralized economy and never a better time to start my blogging/vlogging adventure, or for anyone else to for that matter. Technology is a beautiful and powerful thing and I have found myself more and more pulled to its illustrious glow. I have this desire to learn as much as I can like I never experienced. I am ranting now... My purpose in writing this is to launch my Blog/Vlog in which I hope to further my knowledge base and give back to the cryptocurrency community by helping others learn through my experiences and research. If I happen to make some money doing so, great! I am not here to shill coins or spread Fomo/Fud. I will give from time to time give my opinion as unbiased as I am able : ) but good old resources and information is my game.

To start I will list some of my favorite resources. If you are new or just looking for more great information here are some of the guys and gals I follow and listen to regularly and a few useful websites.

Calico Jack
