Hey, I'm Blake ๐Ÿ‘‹ TLDR: entrepreneur who works remotely (I hate calling myself a "digital nomad"), crypto-aficionado & on a mission.

Hey team,

So my name's Blake. ๐Ÿ‘‹

I've been travelling the world and working remotely with various startups as a growth marketer for the past two years. Mostly (I mean always) split my time between Europe and Asia. Yep, I'm that guy.

I hate the term "digital nomad" though. It really grinds my gears.

Why? Well, I've met a ton of people who label themselves exactly that on my travels and I really don't feel kinship with that community so much. I find a lot of them are trying to sell me a product I don't need, or preaching about passive income.

Passive income is great, but it's not revolutionary. People have been investing and setting up automated businesses for centuries but most of these guys think they're re-inventing the wheel by having a company that runs itself.

Oh and on cryptocurrency? Well I like that. I've got suckered into it good and proper. I'm not investing more than I can lose but I'm bullish on the way it's going (especially Ethereum right now!).

I'm on a mission to find my "why" in life and hopefully writing about that can help me unearth what the hell that is.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys!

Hey Harriet! Awesome. I've been following a lot of the subreddits to get the inside scoop. /r/ethtrader is a favourite of mine! I don't feel it's too late to get into the game either, so much still to be gained (I hope haha).

I found Steemit through a friend who was talking about it! What about yourself?

By the way, gave you a follow.

Hi Blake It was defenitly nice reading you, Im also new in Steemit, found it on facebook.
I like traveling to and will be posting about some of my old trips here.
Hope to get to know more about you and safe travels!
by the way, the remote work sounds really good and also interesting

Thanks Valenthunder, great to meet you too!

Remote work's pretty fun. Although saying that, I sit on my laptop most of the day so it's probably not as exciting as it sounds.

Looking forward to hearing about your trips!

I think the good thing about it is that you can be travelling without asking permision hu.
