Call me Acis

I picked this handle from Greek mythology. (see the Wikipedia article)

I'm a nerd born in the late 80's currently residing in Ohio.

Video games and computers were a passion. Real-time strategy games, self-improvement, martial arts, outdoor sports were my focus growing up.

I worked on robots and plastics machinery for 7 years. 

I haven't clocked in since December 3rd and never intend to again.

Now I mostly trade/invest.

I started about a year and a half ago with Robinhood. 

Quickly moved onto OTCs and pennystocks for the quick day-trades and gains.

I met Clay Trader earlier this year, super cool guy. Joined his chat

 I've changed my strategy a bit and heavily loaded up on DOLV, and quit buying other stocks for the past couple of months. In anticipation for the completion of their reverse-merger and ticker change.

And my cryptos!

The journey with cryptos began around the same time I got into DOLV late March. They have thoroughly occupied the majority of my time and work researching and investing/trading.

 I bought Ripple in the .03s, sold a lot in the .30s I've got ETH from the 40s, etc. etc. (lately I'm liking bitshares, antshares, steem of course, eth, iota).

Always open to suggestions on this stuff!

What else?

I also enjoy Mystery shopping (getting paid to review service while eating, oil changes, etc.)

a bit of "extreme couponing"

helping people through charities and my fraternities (Freemasonry)

and networking with other investors

and spending time (outside!) with my daughter, family, and friends.

What I'm here for

Networking with other investors and like-minded individuals. 

I like smart people, more intelligent than myself. I value the wisdom of others, and genuinely enjoy the rich exchange of ideas.

A lot of us are in pursuit of the same goals, and perhaps even using similar means. 

None of us is as smart as all of us, and many of you are surely better at this than I. 

I've been able to make it on my own so far, and help some people along the way, and I believe networking is the next crucial step to progress.

Dont be shy! :)
