Sometimes I hear little voices. My little voice told me I needed to make a pattern for all the Bitcoin investors out there. They are not having a great year so I though it might cheer them up a bit. Just because your little voice tells you to do something does not mean it is a good idea.
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and worldwide payment system. It is the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central bank or single administrator. The network is peer-to-peer and transactions take place between users directly, without an intermediary. These transactions are verified by network nodes through the use of cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. Bitcoin was invented by an unknown person or group of people under the name Satoshi Nakamoto and released as open-source software in 2009.
Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services. Research produced by the University of Cambridge estimates that in 2017, there are 2.9 to 5.8 million unique users using a cryptocurrency wallet, most of them using bitcoin. (Wikipedia)
Gwinnett Woodworkers Association Meeting: Hope to see you there.
I have been invited to speak at the Gwinnett Woodworkers Association meeting Monday 19 March 2018. This is the Monday after the Woodworking Show in Atlanta. If you have the opportunity to attend the meeting I would love to have you there. I think I have a good presentation prepared. I am going to try to inspire some creative thinking about the scroll saw. I think you will find it interesting and a little out of the box.
It is my understand that the meeting will start at 5:30 pm and end precisely at 8:30 pm.
The meeting is held at Peachtree Woodworking supply.
6684 Jimmy Carter Blvd, Suite 100, Norcross, GA 30071 (770) 458-5539
If you are in the Atalnta area and you have not become a GWA member then you are really missing out. I had the good fortune to speak at a meeting last year and it was a fantastic time. The members of this group are something very special. It is a very active group with leaders who make sure everyone has a great time.
