I never dreamed Ethereum mining would still be a thing one year later, but here we are.
Yeah me either. We're pretty fortunate getting in the mining game early. I see so many people buying mining rigs now it's insane. The price of Ether changed everything.
Funny story, I went to an Ethereum MeetUp this week and a nice guy there (serial entrepreneur) asked me to build him a mining farm. He wanted to spend 100K on mining gear "to start" but really knew nothing about mining. He was dead serious about getting started ASAP. I kindly refused his offer but it gives you an idea of what's going on. Also attendance at the MeetUp was up about 10x since January (last time I went).
I've also had a bunch of requests from F&F on "How to buy Ethereum". These are just regular people (a nurse, a factory worker, a grade school teacher) who aren't really technical at all but want in. I've been helping them get on exchanges, add Fiat, then buy Ether, and get the Ether off the exchange for safe storage, but it's a lot of work for someone new to this space. Also with Ledger Nano S wallets being almost impossible to get, it makes the safe storage part a lot harder.
Anyone else been in this game a while have people coming out of the woodwork asking you about Ethereum?
