Hello, my name is Jeff. I'm 53 years old so I may be a little old for this forum, however, I'm hoping that you'll accept me just the same! I’ve never done anything like this before but I feel like I have a lot to offer. I came of age in the 1980s in Michigan, USA and attended school at Northern Michigan University so I remember what it was like before all of the technology we have today had really taken hold (i.e. the internet, smartphones, etc). After college, I spent about 20 years as a Mortgage Banker In the midwestern United States until the housing collapse in 2008. Since then I primarily traded in the foreign exchange markets and did a few (still do) online marketing projects. About 2 years ago I discovered and became passionate about cryptocurrency which is how I discovered steemit.com and joined last spring. I spend most mornings checking on my current crypto trades and learning about new ICO possibilities to expand my portfolio. I haven’t posted a lot of my own content on steemit.com yet but I feel like I can share a lot of information and my analyses with anyone who's interested.
Some other things I love doing are traveling with my wife and daughter, restoring and driving old cars and playing ice hockey. I look forward to sharing some of these experiences this with everyone as well.
Thanks, let's talk soon...

You are not that old by any means. At steemit there is a pool of ages. To be rolling on steemit all you need to have is to be logical curious and maybe even pretty much imaginative. Anyways welcome to steemit.
A hearty and warm welcome to you @jeff-55logclub. In the prefix of social networks ages don't matter at all. So 52 or 25 nobody would had asked. What matters here on steemit are quality blogs. Have a nice journey.
You're totally not too old! There's a huuuuuge spread of ages, and some of the most key people on the platform are in your age range. The creative, smart, and open-to-new-things people do well here and love it.
Wishing you all the best as you start here! xx, Kay

Looking forward to your future posts. A friend gave me a link to check for my stat when I just joined some days back and I feel like sharing it with you too since I believe it will be helpful to you.

Here is one of the most illuminating observations I found about the cryptocurrency market here and everywhere:

I brought it because I saw you mentioned your portfolio.
I am in no position to recommend anything to anyone or have any idea where any market is heading.
I have my beliefs and expectations, but was proven wrong in the past too often and am historically at a big net loss, so whenever you see my opinion, beware of it.
