Hey! my name is matthew, i saw you on the @haveyamet post and something I thought of that i wanted to start doing, was for one.. introduce myself, and two.. start a conversation and ask how you heard about hive & how long you have been involved in crypto and aware of blockchain.. and thirdly i wanted to leave you with some information incase you are still learning about this blockchain because there are many aspects to it.
but first since i read your post and found somethings of interest I wanted to respond to the.. First of all! welcome to hive!! also wanted to say that I am 25% phillipino thanks to my dad, and his dad, which is why my last name is Pamatian. I was wondering what compels you to want to be an engineer? also I was wondering what fantasy books you have read, there is one i always refer back to called "SnowCrash" that is a book a recommend to everyone. Also I'd like to compliment you on being such a good member of your household, im sure that at 17 you live with your parents, and im sure they are vary thankful to have a son like you!
I hope this info helps you. Or I hope you share it with others who you think it might help.
(Harry's Happy Hive Journey)
