Living as a U.S. pensioned expat in Asia, most of my friends know me as a happy-go-lucky, retired U.S. military veteran - full of hilarious “been there, done that” stories.
But what they don’t know is that I am also a crypto space OG with an MBA.
That’s why I never add a new coin or token to my crypto portfolio without doing my own due diligence, aka “Uber Research” - complete with an assessment of my
personal risk threshold, SWOT analysis, best and worst case scenarios, entry/exit strategy, principal preservation(via staking, farming, governance rewards) and red flag trading triggers.

The crypto market is fraught with predatory scammers - a high-risk endeavor, to say the least. NEVER, ever, ever invest in any crypto project, coin or token with money you cannot afford to 100% lose!]
After dissecting the Internet Computer Project to my satisfaction; meaning, IMHO, it is an attractive asymmetrical risk/reward opportunity, I transferred a few inexpensive, fast tps and low/no network fee tokens (e.g., XRP, XLM, TRX, STEEM, HIVE, etc.) to Poloniex, traded them into USDT and finally, used the USDT/ICP trading pair to purchase ICP.
Only time will tell if I made the right decision…
May you and yours be well and loving life today.
