Hello, my name is Ryan, and I want to introduce myself a little bit.
A few months ago, I finally took the plunge and started learning about cryptocurrencies. I jumped from one to another, reading, and learning as much as I could. I started out mainly being interested in long term investments, and possibly some mining. I found myself going back to BURST a lot. Not only did I really like the concept of the burst system, I liked the community as well. So, here I am!
For the past 4-5 years, I have been running an electronics recycling and salvage business here in Sacramento, CA. Usually people ask if I "get the gold out of computers". While I have fiddled with a process or two, for the most part I don't mess around with that. I sell precious metal scrap to larger businesses that process them, and also ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A good portion of what I do is also testing and selling parts. For anyone that loves messing with hardware, this is the business for you...while you don't usually get the newest and coolest hardware, you make up for that with the TONNAGE of things you get. I sell on ebay for the most part, but perhaps I will list some things in the burst marketplace in the future.
For most of my life, I worked in the restaurant industry bartending for the majority of the time. I grew tired of the grind, and ended up moving into what I do now. I really like to cook, and have developed a lot of BBQ recipes. I have a couple smokers that are now being neglected. Most of my time is put into my work and my family now, there isn't much time for anything like I used to do like running a smoker for two days straight :)
I really like the what burst has to offer especially the asset exchange. I guess this will be my new "hobby", but also, hopefully an investment as well. I hope to be around for a long time.
Thanks for reading!
Ryan
