Hi everyone!
My name is Rob. I am from Boston, Massachusetts. I am a Poker Dealer at Encore Boston Harbor, a beautiful Wynn Resorts property. Unfortunately due to Covid, the casino has yet to reopened many of it’s gaming options. This includes the poker room. I love my job and hope to return soon, however I love BTC and cryptocurrencies as well!!


I thought this time off would be a tremendous opportunity to dive deeper into my passion for crypto and maybe even develop the skills required to have a successful career in the industry. I first read about Bitcoin in the Tom Clancy novel Threat Vector in December of 2012. I remember being fascinated by the concept of digital currency and the enormity of being an early adopter if the currency ever took hold. I remember researching BTC and being horrified that I had missed my opportunity, thinking “I’m too late!!” The price was $13. LMAO. If I only knew. 
Luckily, I revisited Bitcoin in late 2015 and early 2016. To me, a major step in my personal growth was finally buying Bitcoin. Having the confidence to invest leading into the 2017 bull run paid off for me. I was able to quit my corporate office job that I hated, I traveled most of 2018 and I then followed another passion becoming a poker dealer in 2019.
In addition to cryptocurrencies and poker, I enjoy working out at the gym, traveling and dining at restaurants. I look forward to contributing to the Ivan On Tech community, making friends/connections and increasing my understanding of blockchain. If I can offer anybody support or if anyone is visiting the Boston/New England area, please reach out.
Thank you everyone,
Rob
