<p><strong>Title: From Camera Clicks to Digital Gold: My Unexpected Journey Into Crypto Mining</strong></p>



<p>Hey there, fellow photographers and creative dreamers!</p>



<p>Rob here, and boy, do I have a story for you. If someone had told me six months ago that I&#8217;d be writing about cryptocurrency on my photography blog, I would have laughed so hard I&#8217;d have shaken my camera right out of focus!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="987" height="1024" src="http://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/001WarrumbunglesMilkyPark-987x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-76" srcset="https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/001WarrumbunglesMilkyPark-987x1024.jpg 987w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/001WarrumbunglesMilkyPark-289x300.jpg 289w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/001WarrumbunglesMilkyPark-768x797.jpg 768w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/001WarrumbunglesMilkyPark-1480x1536.jpg 1480w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/001WarrumbunglesMilkyPark-1974x2048.jpg 1974w" sizes="(max-width: 987px) 100vw, 987px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Milky Way over the Warrumbungle National Park</figcaption></figure>



<p>But here&#8217;s the thing – sometimes life throws you a curveball that&#8217;s so good, you just have to capture it. And sometimes that curveball comes in the form of something called &#8220;Texit Coin&#8221; that has already put nearly $3,000 in my pocket in less than two months.</p>



<p>Now, before you start thinking I&#8217;ve lost my mind or traded my camera for a computer, let me assure you – I&#8217;m still the same photo-obsessed guy who gets genuinely excited about perfect golden hour lighting. The difference is, now I&#8217;m also earning money while I sleep, edit, and yes, even while I&#8217;m out shooting that dream wedding or landscape session!</p>



<p><strong>So What&#8217;s This All About?</strong></p>



<p>Picture this: You know how when you pay for something with a credit card, companies like Visa and MasterCard take a little cut? Well, what if instead of that money going to some massive corporation, it stayed right here in Texas, supporting local businesses? And what if your &#8220;leftover change&#8221; could actually grow in value over time?</p>



<p>That&#8217;s essentially what Texit Coin is doing – creating a local digital currency that keeps money in our communities. It&#8217;s like the ultimate &#8220;support local&#8221; movement, but with a twist that could help you afford that dream lens you&#8217;ve been eyeing!</p>



<p><strong>The Best Part? I Don&#8217;t Have to Understand It!</strong></p>



<p>I&#8217;ll be honest – I&#8217;m about as tech-savvy as a film camera in the digital age. But here&#8217;s the beautiful thing: you don&#8217;t need to understand how electricity works to power your studio lights, and you don&#8217;t need to understand blockchain technology to benefit from it.</p>



<p>What I DO understand is integrity, transparency, and community – and this project has all three in spades. Plus, the results speak for themselves (more on that in tomorrow&#8217;s post!).</p>



<p><strong>Why Am I Sharing This?</strong></p>



<p>Simple – because when you discover something this good, you want to tell everyone you care about. It&#8217;s like finding the perfect location for a shoot, or discovering a new editing technique that transforms your work. You just can&#8217;t keep it to yourself!</p>



<p>I know many of you dream about upgrading your gear – that new mirrorless body, the 70-200mm f/2.8 you&#8217;ve been saving for, or maybe even that medium format camera that would take your portraits to the next level. What if there was a way to generate passive income that could help make those dreams a reality?</p>



<p>And here&#8217;s the thing – you don&#8217;t have to be a photographer to benefit from this. Whether you&#8217;re dreaming of starting a food truck, opening an art studio, traveling the world, or pursuing any exciting venture, having an additional income stream working in the background can make those dreams more achievable.</p>



<p><strong>Coming Up Tomorrow:</strong></p>



<p>I&#8217;ll reveal the exact numbers from my two-month adventure in crypto mining. Spoiler alert: they&#8217;re pretty darn impressive for a guy who spends most of his day behind a viewfinder!</p>



<p>Over the next few days, I&#8217;m going to share my complete journey – the good, the surprising, and the downright exciting. I&#8217;ll give you all the real numbers, explain why I decided to invest a chunk of my hard-earned photography money, and show you exactly how this could work for you too.</p>



<p>Stay tuned, and remember – life&#8217;s too short for boring investments and blurry photos!</p>



<p>Clicks and digital coins, Rob</p>



<p>P.S. – Don&#8217;t worry, I haven&#8217;t gone completely crypto-crazy. I still believe the best investment is quality glass and continuous learning. But hey, why not have both? <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4f8.png" alt="📸" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4b0.png" alt="💰" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p>Crypto mining is the process by which crypto miners use computers, data, codes, and calculations to validate crypto currency transactions and earn cryptocurrency as compensation for their work. Think of it like being a digital accountant who gets paid in cryptocurrency for keeping accurate records.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How It Works (Simple Version)</h2>



<p>Put simply, crypto mining is really just guesswork with a monetary incentive—aka proof of work. Crypto miners compete to solve the puzzle. Here&#8217;s the basic process:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Transaction Verification</strong>: Crypto mining involves validating cryptocurrency transactions on a blockchain network and adding them to a distributed ledger.</li>



<li><strong>Solving Puzzles</strong>: These computers use trial and error, guessing repeatedly until they find a solution. The more computer power a crypto miner uses, the more attempts they can make to solve the puzzle.</li>



<li><strong>Getting Rewards</strong>: The first computer to accurately find the solution is able to add the block to the blockchain and is rewarded new bitcoin, aka a block reward.</li>
</ol>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why It&#8217;s Called &#8220;Mining&#8221;</h2>



<p>The process is called mining due to its many parallels with gold mining. Both scenarios involve investing a large amount of work and energy to produce a highly valuable asset. Mining for cryptocurrency is, by design, like digitally mining for gold.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Equipment Do You Need?</h2>



<p>Mining cryptocurrencies requires computers with special software specifically designed to solve complicated, cryptographic mathematic equations. Today, mining cryptocurrencies requires a specialized GPU or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) miner.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Two Main Purposes</h2>



<p>Mining serves two key functions:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Security</strong>: Most importantly, crypto mining prevents the double-spending of digital currency on a distributed network.</li>



<li><strong>New Coins</strong>: It&#8217;s called mining because this process also releases new coins into circulation.</li>
</ol>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Bottom Line</h2>



<p>Think of a treasure chest with a combination lock. The first person to guess the right combination wins what&#8217;s inside. Once solved, another one automatically appears, and the process repeats. That&#8217;s essentially what crypto mining is &#8211; computers racing to solve digital puzzles to earn cryptocurrency rewards while keeping the network secure and processing transactions.</p>

<p>You might find answers to this question using any search engine, but the explanations tend to be dry, filled with technical jargon like &#8220;decentralized&#8221; and &#8220;blockchain,&#8221; making them hard to understand and often dull to read. So, here’s a simpler, more straightforward explanation:</p>



<p><strong>What is Cryptocurrency?</strong><br>Cryptocurrency started in 2009 with Bitcoin, which has now become incredibly valuable—its market cap has surged to around $2 trillion, with each coin worth roughly $109,000. Bitcoin&#8217;s value has skyrocketed by over a million times, outperforming nearly all traditional investments because it offers about ten advantages over other forms of money, including gold and silver.</p>



<p><strong>Why is Bitcoin Special?</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Scarcity:</strong> Unlike gold, which is mined continuously (about 1.7% increase annually), Bitcoin is capped at 21 million coins. Over time, as people lose access to their wallets, the available supply will effectively shrink, increasing scarcity.</li>



<li><strong>Counterfeit Resistance:</strong> Bitcoin is nearly impossible to counterfeit. Unlike gold or silver, which can be faked, the digital nature and verification process make Bitcoin highly secure.</li>



<li><strong>Security from Theft:</strong> While individuals can be tricked into revealing passwords or transferring coins to scam wallets, the technology itself is highly secure when properly managed.</li>



<li><strong>Decentralization:</strong> Bitcoin isn’t controlled by any single entity. It operates on an open-source program running on countless computers worldwide, making it unstoppable—no one can shut it down or ban transactions.</li>



<li><strong>Blockchain Integrity:</strong> Transactions are recorded on the blockchain, a permanent, unchangeable ledger secured by the network’s consensus—over 51% of computers must agree to any change, making hacking extremely difficult.</li>



<li><strong>Resilience:</strong> Unlike banks or exchanges, Bitcoin itself cannot go bankrupt. It’s akin to owning gold—valuable regardless of banking failures or political turmoil.</li>



<li><strong>Availability:</strong> Crypto markets operate 24/7, unlike traditional banks, and remain accessible even during war or crises.</li>



<li><strong>Divisibility &amp; Fungibility:</strong> Cryptocurrency can be divided into tiny units instantly and freely, unlike physical gold or silver, which require melting or re-coining.</li>
</ul>



<p>In essence, cryptocurrency is a revolutionary form of money—more modern, more secure, and potentially far better than anything before.</p>

<p><strong>What is TEXITcoin?</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-66" srcset="https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-1024x576.png 1024w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-300x169.png 300w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-768x432.png 768w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-1536x864.png 1536w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p><br>TEXITcoin is a new cryptocurrency created by Bobby Gray, founder of the American Open Currency Standard, a project that aimed to bring silver into circulation as money. Bobby designed TEXITcoin to improve upon Bitcoin by addressing some of its shortcomings.</p>



<p>It’s built on a modified version of Litecoin’s code—another blockchain—crafted to have even lower transaction fees. Unlike Bitcoin and Litecoin, TEXITcoin’s mining is permission-based, costing about USD 995 to start, with potential daily earnings of around $4–$5. Its value is rapidly increasing, gaining roughly 40% each month, which means your investment could grow significantly in a short period.</p>



<p><strong>Why Mine TEXITcoin?</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Potential for Growth:</strong> It’s currently priced at $1.39 per coin with a market cap of $60 million, making it a top 500 cryptocurrency with huge upside potential.</li>



<li><strong>Community &amp; Transparency:</strong> Over 8,300 people are already mining it, with ongoing daily new members. Details and statistics are publicly available at <a href="https://minetxc.com/statistics">https://minetxc.com/statistics</a>.</li>



<li><strong>Earning Opportunities:</strong> You can earn more by referring others, expanding the network and increasing your rewards.</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>How to Get Started with TEXITcoin Mining:</strong></p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Create an account on kraken.com or coinbase.com and link your bank account.</li>



<li>Transfer funds and buy USDC (a stablecoin).</li>



<li>Wait up to 7 days (depending on location and source) for your funds to become available.</li>



<li>Sign up at mineTXC.com using Sponsor ID: gogatsby, and provide your accurate mailing address to receive a physical cold storage coin. (<a href="https://minetxc.com/sign-up?sponsor=gogatsby">https://minetxc.com/sign-up?sponsor=gogatsby</a>)</li>



<li>Choose “Crypto” as your payment type, then select USDC and the Ethereum network.</li>



<li>Send USDC from your exchange to your TEXITcoin wallet address.</li>



<li>Wait for the transaction to complete and start mining.</li>
</ol>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>The phrase “an honest Ponzi” is an oxymoron—a contradiction in terms. A Ponzi scheme is inherently a fraud, a lie.</p>



<p>Let me briefly share the story of how I first heard this phrase.</p>



<p>I was speaking with an older businessman from Las Vegas. He asked me about TEXITcoin, and I explained what it was.</p>



<p>He paused, then said, “I hope you won’t be offended, but I’ve got to ask—this TEXITcoin thing, is it like a Ponzi scheme?” He said it quietly, as if hoping I’d admit to it.</p>



<p>I’ve learned to be diplomatic when I disagree, so I responded carefully:</p>



<p>“That’s a very good question, and I’ve looked into it myself so I can better explain to others who might wonder the same thing. Let’s examine what a Ponzi scheme really is and see how it differs.”</p>



<p>I then explained:<br>“Bernie Madoff ran a Ponzi scheme. He took investors’ money, promised them liquid accounts with around 10% annual returns, but in reality, he never made any investments. He claimed to be earning profits through arbitrage, but no one knew exactly how he was generating those returns. Eventually, Ponzi schemes collapse because they rely on an ever-increasing pool of new investors to pay out previous ones—an unsustainable cycle.”</p>



<p>In contrast, when you buy mining hashpower at minetxc.com, you’re not opening a liquid investment account. The money you spend—ranging from $995 to $8,955—is a sunk cost. It’s gone, used to purchase computers, cover operational expenses, and pay affiliate commissions. You don’t expect your principal back, nor do you earn interest or returns on that purchase. Instead, it’s an opportunity to generate cryptocurrency.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="http://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-1024x576.png" alt="" class="wp-image-66" srcset="https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-1024x576.png 1024w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-300x169.png 300w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-768x432.png 768w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b-1536x864.png 1536w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/GatsbyTexit-b.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>The TEXITcoins you receive are produced by the computers you’re funding—they’re not in dollars, but in digital currency. Their value is determined by the open market. Because there’s no obligation to pay back any principal or interest, this isn’t a Ponzi scheme. It’s a legitimate business operation, with real expenses like hardware, electricity, staff, and marketing.</p>



<p>Cryptocurrency, in essence, is money created without debt. It’s free from usury—no one is lending it into existence, and no one owes it back. It’s wealth that’s generated because the cryptocurrency itself has value. TEXITcoin’s properties—being harder to counterfeit, faster to trade, more secure, and cheaper to transfer—give it many advantages over gold and silver. It’s off-grid, doesn’t need physical shipment, and can’t be seized or stopped.</p>



<p>After my explanation, the businessman chuckled and said, “So, it’s an honest Ponzi.”</p>



<p>His remark was likely meant to be humorous or perhaps to poke fun. I can’t remember exactly what I said in reply, but I might have quipped, “An honest Ponzi—only because it’s not a Ponzi at all.”</p>



<p>Later, Bobby Gray, the founder of TEXITcoin, heard this story and asked me to write it up to clarify the differences.</p>



<p>Interestingly, I found there’s no legal definition of a Ponzi scheme. The law never explicitly mentions “Ponzi”—that’s just the name of Charles Ponzi, who ran one of the most infamous schemes in history. Prosecutors tend to go after the core elements—like fraud, securities violations, wire fraud, or mail fraud—rather than the label itself.</p>



<p>A widely accepted description from <em>In re Madoff Investment Securities LLC</em> characterizes a Ponzi scheme as involving:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Promises of high returns with little or no risk</li>



<li>Paying earlier investors with funds from new investors</li>



<li>Lack of legitimate business activities generating those returns</li>



<li>An eventual collapse when new investor funds dry up</li>
</ul>



<p>Both Madoff and Ponzi claimed to earn high returns through arbitrage, but neither actually did. Arbitrage involves buying in one market and selling in another to profit from price discrepancies—something that quickly narrows and eliminates the profit opportunity.</p>



<p>Bobby Gray openly admits that investing in TEXITcoin involves risk, describing it as “crypto” and “scammy like an MLM.” But it’s important to distinguish that it’s not an MLM—because payments are capped, preventing the pyramid structure typical of such schemes. Even MLM professionals, once they understand the cap, see the value in that.</p>



<p>Unlike Ponzi schemes, TEXITcoin makes no promises of returns. Payments to early participants come from affiliate referrals—similar to a finder’s fee or advertising payout—and are perfectly legal. The project has legitimate operations: purchasing hardware, mining, listing on exchanges, and market making to stabilize the coin’s value.</p>



<p>Furthermore, the crowdfunding for the mining infrastructure will eventually conclude, marking the start of a new phase aimed at increasing the coin’s value.</p>



<p>Now, I’ll be honest—because payments to early investors through the affiliate program, along with funds allocated to support the cryptocurrency’s price, might instinctively seem Ponzi-like. However, that is not what’s happening here. If we compare TEXITcoin to how companies issue stock via private placements or conduct stock buybacks, those actions are legally recognized and similar in nature.</p>



<p>What sets TEXITcoin apart is that it’s not a stock, nor is it regulated by the SEC. While the SEC has attempted to extend its authority over cryptocurrencies, the current administration has halted those efforts, signaling a more friendly stance toward digital currencies issued in America.</p>



<p>Another key difference is that minetxc.com regularly sells mining hashpower daily. There’s no stock issuance, no private placements requiring minimum investments of $50,000 to $250,000. Instead, it’s a continuous crowdsourcing effort open to as many people as possible, with purchases capped at 900 hashpower per person—equivalent to $8,955. Plus, there’s no holding period for the coins you receive; they can be traded immediately.</p>



<p>It almost seems like Bobby Gray is intentionally doing things differently—completely separate from traditional Ponzi schemes and even from how mining companies used to operate.</p>



<p>Unlike silver mining stocks, which I knew well but found unpopular, cryptocurrency is extremely popular. Instead of catering only to wealthy investors, Bobby is aiming for widespread adoption, encouraging participation from as many people as possible. He is intentionally creating a decentralized, broad-based network right from the start.</p>



<p>I’m no longer paid to write specific articles; instead, my compensation comes through the affiliate program. If you decide to sign up to mine TEXITcoin, please use our sponsor ID: JHOMM.</p>



<p>To get started, first purchase cryptocurrency—preferably the stablecoin USDC—on an independent exchange like Kraken or Coinbase. We now recommend kraken.com.</p>



<p>Then, sign up at <a href="https://minetxc.com/sign-up?sponsor=gogatsby">minetxc.com</a>. Make sure the sponsor GOGATSBY is listed. </p>



<p>Contact me is you have any questions or need help with the signup process including with sourcing USDC.</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="texitcoin-txc-a-comprehensive-guide-to-joining-and">What is TEXITcoin?</h1>



<p>TEXITcoin (TXC) is a Layer 1 blockchain cryptocurrency designed specifically by Texans for Texas, with a focus on supporting potential Texas independence and creating a decentralized digital economy. Unlike many cryptocurrencies, TEXITcoin can only be digitally mined in Texas, making it unique in its geographic restrictions. The project operates on a Scrypt Proof of Work algorithm similar to Litecoin, with blocks mined every 3 minutes and no pre-mined coins, ensuring a fair distribution where everyone starts on equal footing.</p>



<p>The cryptocurrency emerged from a team with over sixteen years of experience advocating for honest money using traditional metals like gold and silver<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/texitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1</a>. TEXITcoin represents their evolution into the digital realm, aiming to create a currency that embodies Texas values of independence and financial sovereignty.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="current-market-performance">Current Market Performance</h2>



<p>As of 21 June 2025, TEXITcoin is trading at approximately $1.35 USD with a 24-hour trading volume of around $55,000-$60,000. The cryptocurrency has a total supply of approximately 44 million TXC coins, with a maximum supply cap of 353.4 million coins. The project launched in July 2024.</p>



<p>Watch the video below to see why the coin is expected to reach $16 in early 2026.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-to-join-texitcoin-mining-participation-levels">How to Join TEXITcoin: Mining Participation Levels</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mining Share Packages</h2>



<p>TEXITcoin offers three primary participation levels through their mining program accessible via minetxc.com:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Single Package</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Cost</strong>: $995</li>



<li><strong>Mining Power</strong>: 100 MH/s (megahashes per second)</li>



<li><strong>Daily Rewards</strong>: Approximately 5-6 TXC coins per day (varies based on network growth)</li>



<li><strong>Best For</strong>: Beginners or those wanting minimal investment</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Triple Play Package</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Cost</strong>: $2,985 </li>



<li><strong>Mining Power</strong>: 300 MH/s total (4 mining shares)12</li>



<li><strong>Daily Rewards</strong>: Approximately 3x the single package rewards</li>



<li><strong>Best For</strong>: Moderate investors seeking better value</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Builder Plan</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Cost</strong>: $8,955</li>



<li><strong>Mining Power</strong>: 900 MH/s (9 mining shares)</li>



<li><strong>Daily Rewards</strong>: Approximately 9x the single package rewards</li>



<li><strong>Best For</strong>: Serious investors wanting maximum mining power</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Mining Features</h2>



<p><strong>Daily Payouts</strong>: All mining participants receive daily TXC payouts at midnight UTC (approximately 7 PM Texas time). The rewards are distributed proportionally based on your hash power percentage of the total network.</p>



<p><strong>Diminishing Returns</strong>: As more miners join the network, individual daily rewards decrease as a percentage of total mining power, but this is offset by the increasing value of TXC coins.</p>



<p><strong>Maximum Participation</strong>: No individual can purchase more than 9 mining shares to prevent wealthy individuals from controlling the network.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="bonus-programs-and-incentives">Bonus Programs and Incentives</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One-Two-Free Program</h2>



<p>When you refer three people to join TEXITcoin mining within your first 30 days, you receive one additional mining share worth $1,000. If completed within the first 30 days, this doubles to two free mining shares. This program can be repeated unlimited times.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rapid Rewards Program</h2>



<p>TEXITcoin offers a matching bonus system where participants earn $1,000 for every three matched points on each side of their referral network, with a maximum of $3,000 per week. Points are earned when referred individuals purchase mining shares.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="how-to-buy-and-sell-texitcoin-on-crypto-exchanges">How to Buy and Sell TEXITcoin on Crypto Exchanges</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Available Exchanges</h2>

<p><strong>Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)</strong>: Connect a Web3 wallet to compatible DEX platforms that list TXC trading pairs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Sell TEXITcoin</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Selling Process:</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="important-considerations-and-risks">Important Considerations and Risks</h2>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Project Legitimacy Concerns</h2>



<p>Some sources raise questions about TEXITcoin&#8217;s regulatory oversight and legitimacy, noting the lack of clear regulatory framework. Potential participants should conduct thorough due diligence before getting started.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Volatility</h2>



<p>Like all cryptocurrencies, TEXITcoin experiences significant price volatility. The project&#8217;s ambitious price predictions of reaching $16-$80 per coin should be viewed with caution.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Limited Exchange Availability</h2>



<p>TEXITcoin&#8217;s availability on only two exchanges limits liquidity and trading options compared to major cryptocurrencies. This could impact your ability to buy or sell quickly during market movements.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Geographic Restrictions</h2>



<p>The project&#8217;s Texas-centric focus and mining restrictions may limit broader adoption and regulatory acceptance.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>



<p>TEXITcoin presents a unique cryptocurrency opportunity with its Texas-focused mission and mining-based participation model. The three-tier participation structure allows various participation levels, from the $995 single package to the $8,955 builder plan. While currently available on BitMart and Dex-Trade exchanges, potential participants should carefully consider the project&#8217;s limited exchange presence, regulatory uncertainties, and high volatility before investing.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Below is a transcript from a Zoom meeting that I had linked to Otter.ai.</p>



<p>Otter AI is a tool that uses artificial intelligence to transcribe conversations and meetings in real-time. It converts spoken words into text, allowing users to focus on the conversation rather than writing notes. Otter.ai also provides features for capturing notes, sharing transcripts, and integrating with various platforms.</p>



<p>Start of the transcript</p>



<p>00:00<br>Welcome otter. Oh, wow. Hello and welcome to this meeting. Otter is on board taking notes. </p>



<p>Otter is an AI tool. You can find it at otter.ai. </p>



<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="150" height="84" class="wp-image-40" style="width: 150px;" src="http://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-234750.png" alt="" srcset="https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-234750.png 2507w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-234750-300x169.png 300w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-234750-1024x576.png 1024w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-234750-768x432.png 768w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-234750-1536x864.png 1536w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-234750-2048x1153.png 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></p>



<p><br><br>So what you do is you get an account at otter. You can start with a free one, which gives you about 300 minutes of transcription time. </p>



<p>You then within the otter app, connect zoom, and then once you&#8217;re in zoom, you schedule a meeting and otter is linked, and it finds out when a meeting starting, and it will jump in there and do the Transcription. </p>



<p>I can now see the screen I&#8217;ve got my zoom on one screen, I&#8217;ve got otter on another, and it is typing away. It seems to be quite accurate. I&#8217;m watching what&#8217;s being typed as I speak, and boom, it&#8217;s appearing there, right on the screen. </p>



<p>So now I&#8217;m talking quite fast and seeing what&#8217;s happening. Can it keep up? Can it do it? </p>



<p>It is amazing, this technology. So I actually heard about this just the other day from the Mike Koenigs book, AI, accelerator, K, o, e, n, i, G, Koenigs is the spelling for Mike, and it covers a whole range of AI uses, including being able to set up a year&#8217;s worth of marketing in just a short time. </p>



<p>It is quite a good read. It really opens your eyes to the possibilities of AI. <br><br>Also, recently, I have gone through a certification course. Don&#8217;t know how great that is, but I did watch a lot of videos. I did a quiz at the end and got certified in AI. I&#8217;m also doing an AI Marketing Boot Camp right now, learning how to really do great marketing for small businesses and big ones too, one day. So session one I listened to today, I unfortunately missed out on the live session the other day.</p>



<p> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="150" height="106" class="wp-image-41" style="width: 150px;" src="http://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-235158.png" alt="" srcset="https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-235158.png 1459w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-235158-300x212.png 300w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-235158-1024x723.png 1024w, https://robkeating.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Screenshot-2025-05-24-235158-768x542.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /></p>



<p>But Mike Marin is running that, and he&#8217;s a very good marketer, lots of experience. He started off when he was around 22 and really took a deep dive into getting all this stuff to meetings and things, and had done a lot of marketing for businesses, And he&#8217;s made over a million dollars, I believe, several million or more.</p>



<p> So he&#8217;s running a boot camp. There are 24 of us involved in that. And in the first session, he was running through what the course will cover, he was asking if we want the Zumba version or the insanity version. </p>



<p>And people went for the insanity, even though he later pointed out that that&#8217;s what we were going to get anyway. </p>



<p>So it&#8217;s really going to push us, stretch us, and the aim is to earn at least $10,000 a month after about eight weeks. But it may not happen in that time frame, it might happen even quicker, but it&#8217;s better Pushing skills such as writing compelling marketing content using AI. </p>



<p>AI is really revolutionized the way things are. Of course, ChatGPT is the big gorilla in the room, and that&#8217;s what you hear about all the time. But there are so many different options, one that I&#8217;ve been using, which I heard about, excuse me, during the AI certification, is perplexity. You can get that at perplexity.ai </p>



<p></p>



<p>What I like about that is you can actually get content written that researchers across a lot of websites. </p>



<p>I&#8217;ve been writing some tennis articles for a website I&#8217;ve got robiciatennis.com and perplexity goes through all those sites like, for instance, I said, find a list of Australians playing at the French Open and tell me who they&#8217;re playing what the rankings are. </p>



<p>I also asked it to give me some predictions. So it grabbed all that information, current, up to date to the minute, almost. It had result. Didn&#8217;t quite get everything. There was a match involving Adam Walton where the draw had been done and his opponent had been selected. But perplexity didn&#8217;t pick that up. It just said he&#8217;s playing a qualifier. </p>



<p>So perplexity is a great alternative to chatGPT, if you&#8217;re looking for more up to date information, you are sourced from multiple sites. So I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s the same as chat GPT. I don&#8217;t know where the big database is for chat GPT, but perplexity seems to scrape all the content from different websites, and then compile it and give you a document. </p>



<p>I&#8217;ve also used it to research like a camper van trip. I&#8217;m thinking of going on up to the Warrenbungles in Australia. And it gave me an itinerary like it suggested places to stop, also where to stay that&#8217;s suitable for staying in a campervan. So it did all that. It&#8217;s really great. And as I said, comes comes, and that&#8217;s quite up to date, like tennis results, like that&#8217;s happening day by day. And there they all were. So analyze the draw that pulled out the relevant information that I asked for. </p>



<p>So it was really great. Also, I&#8217;ve been getting involved in AI software creation. I&#8217;ve got a course that&#8217;s just started. So I&#8217;ve picked a topic relating to photography, because I love photography. I love to teach people when I can, and part of that course is to create little mini quizzes that then use AI or AI is used to create a mini quiz you build in answers based on the results that obtained by the software, and then you give suggestions to the person filling in the quiz about what photography topics. </p>



<p>Or one thing I&#8217;ve been thinking about is a finder of camera gear, so someone puts in their budget, and the software will suggest what camera body, what camera lens, or lenses based on their budget. So I&#8217;m just wondering how complex it can get. </p>



<p>Will that suggest based on what I enter into the database, like I use Canon. So will it only spit out canon if I say so, or will it interrogate databases online and provide information? So I&#8217;m just learning that it&#8217;s a whole new world seeing what software can be created from Ai without knowing any coding, like I did see a bit of computer coding at university way back in the day, that was about 22 or three years ago, a degree I was doing through RMIT. </p>



<p>But I wouldn&#8217;t call myself a programmer, but now with AI, it&#8217;s possible to actually come up with programs. We&#8217;ll just see how complex they can be, but I believe they can be quite complex. </p>



<p>But for now, we&#8217;re just starting with basic questionnaire type or quiz type content. People fill in the answers, and then recommendations are provided, and then you can direct them to affiliate products, or course, you might want to sell them that type of thing, or just provide basic education. It depends what your ultimate aims are, but as they fill in the quiz you&#8217;re collecting email addresses. </p>



<p>So you could building a database just by providing free software which educates the people. So that&#8217;s another thing I&#8217;m doing, also looking at bot building through bot builders, something I&#8217;ve had for some time, but haven&#8217;t really dived into it. </p>



<p>But really, there are just so many AI tools coming onto the market. Some are just gimmicky. But also through the certification course, I saw several video editors which are quite amazing, and what they can do, you can just provide a photo, and then it goes and creates video content from that. And you can have like different photos to create different scenes, and that type of thing. </p>



<p>You can have voice overs done using AI linking into you. Look it up online here 11 labs.io, that&#8217;s probably the best AI text to voice generator that I&#8217;ve come across, and also that&#8217;s recommended in a lot of courses I&#8217;ve seen, excuse me, so <a href="https://elevenlabs.io/">elevenlabs.io</a>, so as I said, it&#8217;s a text to voice AI tool, and the output is like quite natural sounding. It can have emphasis on words, and it&#8217;s not just robotic sounding. So that&#8217;s a really good tool, and that integrates into a lot of the other AI tools out there to give you, like, natural sounding voices. </p>



<p>I&#8217;ve also seen a course about creating a having AI spokes people or basically, it&#8217;s what they are. So I&#8217;ve got my Rodecaster Pro. Don&#8217;t know if that&#8217;s heard, but it&#8217;s now part of the transcript because I said it, and otter is busily transcribing. </p>



<p>So I&#8217;ve got my rodecaster, and let&#8217;s have some applause. You. Just wondering what otter will do that it doesn&#8217;t actually put in comments, like some other transcriptions you see in a movie, where it will say suspenseful music playing or stuff like that. So what else have we been up to lately? </p>



<p>Ai, options that create art. You can get photo, realistic photos through AI, you can do all sorts of things with AI, of course, and this is just basically me testing otter.ai so I&#8217;ll probably wrap up now And I can put this onto Robkeating.com, my website that&#8217;s sadly neglected, and that&#8217;s all for now. </p>



<p>So it&#8217;s looking like otter.ai is a great tool. I&#8217;m the only speaker in this situation. But if it was multi speaker, it picks up who the speakers are and gives you a transcription so fantastic it could be used in the workplace for meetings. </p>



<p>Of course, having a scribe sitting there, Otter can just jump in and Doodle for them. So that&#8217;s my test of otter.ai. If you&#8217;re reading this, I hope you found it interesting. </p>



<p>Oh, actually, I forgot there&#8217;s another AI thing I&#8217;ve been involved with. There&#8217;s a suite of tools with go E, 1u life, that&#8217;s quite interesting. Go E, 1u life, I didn&#8217;t notice otter didn&#8217;t quite get it right. That&#8217;s a suite of AI tools that you can access through a Matrix program, or you can buy them direct using credits tokens that you get. </p>



<p>So it&#8217;s a way of getting a tools such as on social media, posters, There&#8217;s a calendar, there&#8217;s about 18 tools, which I will go into in a different discussion. But if you&#8217;re interested in getting in using tools and possibly earning money as well, where you get paid in Bitcoin, that is something to look into. That&#8217;s something else I&#8217;ve been involved in lately, but that is all for now. thanks for hopping by Have a great day, signing it out.</p>
