I got started in mining mostly because I was looking for something useful to do with my extra CPU cycles when I wasn't using my computer
I wish I was a nerd ;D
No doubt there are MANY out there who have lost their keys to a significant amount of crypto! I'm too much of a digital pack-rat for that :
I have heard that for BTC it is something like 20% and I would imagine on Steem it is quite significant also.
