I use this blog to document my world and life. Of course I blog here, but I also use this site to archive interviews, speaking sessions, and anything else I do.
To find out more about me go to my ABOUT PAGE.
Interested in having me speak, or keynote your event go to my SPEAKERS PAGE.
I have joined a new project called Swan Bitcoin as an advisor.
Swan Bitcoin is a great new project, that allows everyone to buy Bitcoin through dollar cost averaging. Bitcoin is extremely volatile when it comes to the value
What is Dollar-Cost Averaging?
Dollar-cost averaging is an investment strategy in which an investor divides up the total amount they want to invest across periodic purchases of a target asset in an effort to reduce the impact of volatility on the overall purchase. The purchases occur regardless of the asset's price and at regular intervals; in effect, this removes much of the detailed work of attempting to time the market in order to make purchases of equities at the best prices.
Swan Bitcoin allows you to but as little as $5 every week, every other week, or whenever you want.
I believe in this project or I would not be involved so take a look at Swan Bitcoin and see what you think.
If you know me at all, then you know that I have become pretty involved with Bitcoin and the Bitcoin Community.
One of the issues that Bitcoin needs to overcome is to make it easier for people to buy, sell, and give friends Bitcoin.
People have been giving money to friends and family as gifts for many many years.
I remember when I was a kid my grandmother would give me a one dollar bill every Christmas. That sure did seem like a lot of money back then, not too much now.
Today many young people want to own Bitcoin and would love for their parents or grandparents to give them some Bitcoin as a gift.
The problem is that their parents and grandparents may not know where to buy Bitcoin, much less how to give it as a gift.
That is where GiveBitcoin.io steps in. The website is designed to make it so easy that a person who knows nothing about Bitcoin could give Bitcoin to another person who knows nothing about Bitcoin. In other words it is pretty easy to use.
I love the concept so much I joined as an advisor and even own a small piece of the company.
I recommend you check it out today at https://GiveBitcoin.io and see what you think.
Maybe it is time for you to give someone Bitcoin as a gift?

If you follow me, you know that I have become involved in the world of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency.Involved may not really explain it properly, and obsessed may be a much better description.
I started the Crypto Cousins Network of websites some time ago with my friend and business partner Tony Cecala.
We both loved Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency and thought we should get involved in a big way.

If you follow me at all you can not help but know that I recently moved into the world of cryptocurrency.
Maybe that statement does not really describe my new adventure properly.
It would probably be more correct to say I have fallen down the rabbit hole of cryptocurrency, or I drank the Cryptocurrency Kool- Aid might even be a better term.
It does not matter how you say it, the basic message is that I am totally consumed with this exciting new world.
I have started The Crypto Cousins Network with my good friend and new business partner Tony Cecala.
The network consists of The Crypto Cousins Podcast which you can subscribe to at CryptoCousins.com/Subscribe.
We are presently on episode 19 and pushing out around 50,000 downloads per month.
Of course have a website/blog located at CryptoCousins.com

Yes, we have all the social media going including a group on Facebook.
Our new e-store sells mining equipment at TurnkeyMining.com.
This has been one of our most successful parts of the Crypto Cousins Network. We are selling the Ethan plug and play mining machines as fast as we can get the parts to build them with.
We have quite a few people that just want to try and build their own miners. They ask us all the time what parts are we using to build these miners.
So Tony and I are happy to share this information with anyone that asks. To make it easier for people to get I have included the full list of parts for you on this post.

My Prediction for 2018February marks the start of Social Media Marketing World which is one of my favorite conferences of the year.
This will be the second year in a row I have attended this event, and also the second year in a row I have been speaking on a panel at Social Media Marketing World.
Actually I am on two panels this year which is a first for me.
I am on a panel about using Facebook Groups to grow your marketing. This will be a really great panel, and since I have over 400 Facebook Groups it was a natural fit for me.
I really love being involved with panels at events. If you really know the topic then panels are a real breeze.
The second panel is another topic I am pretty familiar with. The topic is Monetizing your podcast. Since I have been podcasting over 14 years I have picked up a tip or two.
The Social Media Examiner website puts on this event every year in San Diego.
A few months ago the Social Media Examiner Blog sent out an email to the speakers asking them to submit their predictions for the year of 2018.
These predictions would have to do with Social Media, Podcasting, Videos, Etc.
I was surprised and pleased to see that my prediction for 2018 made the number one spot 🙂
My Prediction was Creators Monetize With Cryptocurrencies
Like I said I was very surprised that it made the list at all , but the fact it was number one blew me away.
Sometimes you know a topic so well that it does not seem as exciting as it does to others who are not as involved in the topic.
If you want to see the full blog post go to Social Media Examiner.
There are some great predictions on this post for sure.
I was recently interviewed on the Blockchain Decrypted Podcast.
