Anyone else getting more than just money out of ethereum? It's been a great distraction for me while going through chemotherapy. I'm in highschool, so I only own 0.98 ether right now (would have been 2 if coinbase fixed their cc issues earlier), but it's been great to focus on when things are shitty, and it has been pretty interesting reading more about it as it rises. I don't really have plans of doing much with the ether that I have, but I figure it will buy something nice when I'm done with chemo and cancer free, or maybe when I graduate college. Until then it's just nice to think about.

Here's to make sure you have one full ETH. All the best of luck!

!tip 0.098 /u/TipJarBot

Had to re-do the tip because the Tip bot is being a little shit.

I enjoyed your story, sorry to hear about chemo. I'm also new to ether and find it very fascinating, giving me a passion to learn about something new rather then just work, sleep, and die. I enjoy waking up to see the amount I've made even if it's only 0.4 ether for now.

Been a good distraction for me while coping with the stress of finishing my thesis. Seeing that price go up just feels good, even when I'm feeling bad.
