Hey everyone! In case you haven't heard of it yet, golos is the russian version of Steemit and they have had a crowdsale open the last month and today it is about to end.

Since this is an investment I made personally I won't be adding it to the funds of this account as "investments" but I am going to mention it in some posts in the future and just acknowledge its progress and development. Might add a few coins into @cryptochannel's investement fund once that is set up and running. (currently still in the planning stages)

If you want to read more about [Golos.io](https://golos.io), here are a few good posts where you can start looking into it: [Info about ICO from smithsandcrown.com](https://www.smithandcrown.com/event/golos-ico-a-dedicated-russian-language-fork-of-steem-it/), [Their whitepaper in Russian (use google translate)](https://wiki.golos.io/1-introduction/golos_whitepaper.html) and an insightful post by @minion: [Is golos good or bad?](https://steemit.com/steem/@minion/is-golos-good-or-bad)

As you can see its barely 2,5h left for the ICO. (remember bitcoin confirmation times so I suggest adding a high transaction fee for last minute investments) Currently **314 BTC raised!**

I have myself invested around 0.14-0.15 btc (sent 0.04 to the main address instead of through my own by mistake so hoping to get those back into my account after the ICO and before the distribution). 
As someone who missed hearing about Steemit early on it lead me to want to invest in this new version of it with different developers but still somewhat the same plan - to bring the technology and "blogchain"* to the average user and revolutionize the social platform genre that we know today. I would also have hated it if someone I knew would have known about Steemit and not told me early enough to invest in it if said person had been able to. That's why I also chose to write a quick post about it as a last minute reminder to the users of Steemit. Who knows, there might be Russian users here who hadn't yet heard of the platform and are interested now. :)

Anyway, I will be posting updates soon considering mining - (the r9 390x is acting weird lately - and news about my old computer parts I had in the shop)

Stay tuned and make sure to follow @cryptochannel for more cryptocurrency content, investing, trading and holding. :)

*blogchain, a clever word of blogging on a block-chain, thanks to @pfunk for bringing the word into my vocabulary. :P
