Ever since I encountered the ADSactly community, I was hooked. I immediately became friends with "Toshi" as his server nickname states, and we've stayed in constant contact.

They're a unique community filled with diverse, ambitious, enthusiastic crypto-traders, dreamers, AND achievers. I had the pleasure of interviewing them to see just what they're all about. Hopefully, this gives you a sneak peek into the ADSactly world, as I'm sure you've seen them floating around on SteemIt (they are a huge whale, after all!) https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wHuYBkFPgBo/maxresdefault.jpg Image Source -------------------- @FATPANDADESIGN- "Where exactly did you come up with the name ADSactly? What does it actually stand for?" @ADSactly - "As far as the original name, I'm not sure, it was purchased from someone a while back, before my time ;). However, the name as it sits now is actually an acronym. What it stands for is... Autonomous Decentralized Society Acting Co-operatively To Leverage You! Basically, we're a society, looking to help each other make money, grow their companies or projects, and fund their projects. Help them with tech aspects, services, whatever they need, ADSactly when they need it! ;)" http://admin.adsactlyhits.com/layout/theme1/images/image-nawork003.jpg Image Source ----------------- @FATPANDADESIGN - "You're a crypto nut (like most of us) and from what you've told me so far, you've absolutely dominated the crypto game. What was your best investment ever and highest profit on a single trade?" @ADSactly - "Indeed, I've done quite well over my time in crypto, but also taken my fair share of losses. That's how you learn, right? heh. If you're talking about a single purchase, my biggest win has for sure gotta be DMD (Diamond coin). The coin is a bit of a 'diamond in the rough' heh, and I saw that almost two years ago. When I found the coin, I spoke to their team, liked what they had to say, and threw about 5 thousand US their way. Purchased a specialized account, and some coins. Right now, nearly 2 years later... that investment is worth close to 200 thousand US (including the value of the MasterNode that they gave me in trade for the specialized account I purchased. Though I cannot sell the initial funding coins for that node, I CAN sell whatever it brings in. Still a great deal!)" http://investorshub.advfn.com/uimage/uploads/2017/3/6/rsqgzBitcoins-dollars.jpg Image Source --------------------- @FATPANDADESIGN - "Let's say you woke up one day and were dead broke, your friends and family abandoned you and you had no credit - what would you do to get back to baller status? Can be legal or illegal :wink: " @ADSactly - "Well, I can't say this hasn't happened to me before, though it wasn't 'I just woke up that way', lol... What I did, was got a job, saved what I could, then started mining on a single quad-core CPU... forgot about that while I continued to hustle, selling weed, etc, lol... Realized later that I had a few grand worth of coins... (though being a newbie, didn't sell at the right times, that's another story though...) Then, once I realized the potential of mining, I convinced a few people to invest with me into a miner, this continued until I built up the mining operation to a really good size, and now, I have 175+ GPUs, 4 AntMiner L3+'s, and 650TB of HDD space. I continue to grow my mining operation now. :) So to answer the question, I would do this again! heh." https://media.coindesk.com/uploads/2017/08/GPU.jpg Image Source ---------------------- @FATPANDADESIGN - "Where do you see ADSactly in 1 year? How about in 5 years? Be descriptive, my readers love a good story! The crazier, the better!" @ADSactly - "ADSactly has such potential in many areas, it is hard to say specifically where it will be, however... I see ADSactly as a VERY active and solid community, owning multiple different projects, mining operations, portions of projects, and having a solid core of people furthering it along (which is basically what it has today, however... it will have more structure, automation, and more totally decentralized features.)" http://i.vimeocdn.com/video/310301165_1280x720.jpg Image Source -------------------- @FATPANDADESIGN - "What is the absolute craziest thing you've ever done in your life, legal or illegal?" @ADSactly - "Hmm... That's an interesting question... the craziest thing I would have to say... (well, according to the way most people think anyway...) would be going full-time crypto 2 years ago before most people even in crypto realized that it was a viable way to make a great living. I mean, I'm sure I have done a bunch of other crazy stuff, like lighting 40lbs of dynamite when I was 6, but I don't remember much of that other than rocks flying by as we drove away on the 4 wheeler, then rocks falling from the sky literally 5 minutes later, hitting so hard they disappeared into the semi-wet dirt... THAT was definitely crazy. Then we swam in the pool of mud that it made once the chaos had stopped. :D" http://d2c5oomqu2hs08.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/rows.jpg Image Source ------------------- @FATPANDADESIGN - "If you could commit any fucking crime and get away with it without any repercussions, what would it be and why?" @ADSactly - "I would have to say it would be finding a way to fraudulently f up the system in multiple ways, putting out of business PayPal, and other scammy companies, and also freeing the good people who work hard and actually try, from their ridiculous loan interest rates, and bullshit like that. Also removing the nonsense in the US regarding the need for medical insurance, and making that a free service for people that actually NEED the services provided, while penalizing the ones that go in drug seeking and wasting the time of the necessary health care professionals. That's all! heh." https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*gsX3MFN26b-Sry8TtNxJKQ.jpeg Image Source ------------------- @FATPANDADESIGN- "What's your favorite activity outside of SteemIt? Do you have any special hobbies or talents you'd like to share, or that you're particularly proud of?" @ADSactly - "I'm a musician and a hardware-obsessed miner. I love to make electronic music, from rap beats to dubstep tunes, I sing, I play trumpet, piano, and little drums. I would like to be better at piano but I don't have the time. I also LOVE building mining rigs and specialized computers." https://cdn.lynda.com/course/511262/511262-636197296843442393-16x9.jpg Image Source -------------- @FATPANDADESIGN- "Last question - what are some current projects that you're working on related to SteemIt or crypto? What projects have you done in the past that you're most proud of" Feel free to share as many as you want, and links to each!" @ADSactly - "I'm currently working on the rebirth of QORA, which can do totally decentralized social media and web hosting, and we'll add a lot more to it in the future. I'm proud of most things that I've done, however, I don't want to mention some by name, as I've got a jolly band of trolls who seem to love following me around and slandering me and making up nonsense. The truth is quite far from the crap they spew, but I'll refrain from mentioning them by name. But I'm quite happy with the build of my mining operation and allowing others to take part in that in multiple ways. I can give more information on that privately. I'm quite pleased with how things are coming in most projects I'm involved with, and can't wait to see what they look like in a year or so!" https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1032/1*pLgD3o6BQ7_3_NgY1ix-gw.png Image Source --------------------

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions and for allowing me to interview you - I've been trying to interview some of the most influential Steemians around and you're definitely one of them, so I'm glad we were able to make this happen.

It's been a pleasure hanging out and learning from you guys, and building a working relationship/friendship. We'll be sure to make it to more ADSactly hangouts in the future (including the one tomorrow!)
