Blockchain ecosystems
Most people have heard of Bitcoin or Ethereum.
There are plenty of crypto-currencies that have their transactions noted in a ledger or blockchain.
I chose to be involved in the Cardano ecosystem because it was by far the cheapest to be involved with given my hardware capabilities.
With that came some boundary conditions.
- Cardano is decentralized, which means it relies on nodes around the globe to maintain it.
- Cardano is provided a technical challenge which had a steep learning curve that I was reasonably confident I could manage.
- There was a reasonable chance that under the right conditions I might be able to break even financially.
