Hi everyone! My name is Erik the Electric and I'm a full-time YouTuber
(as of this year woo!) and competitive eater. I just heard about this website from my boy @brianturner who's also a YouTuber and a really good friend of mine. I am still trying to learn about this community but I'm excited to post an intro and start contributing!
It's hard to figure out what to write about when summarizing who you are but I have a few different things that I really enjoy doing. I've been cycling for years and still do, it really makes me feel good and its great for keeping the cardio system working well - I have a strava if you want to see more of that: https://www.strava.com/athletes/702924
I really like lifting, too. Festivity is in full effect!
And of course I've been a competitive eater for years. I've competed in a ton of different competitions, some in real life and some online. One that was really tough this year was doing 48,000 calories in 48 hours, I'll post the video if anyone wants to see that lol
I've been making youtube videos for really long time as well and that's how I met a lot of my really good friends today.
This year I hit 200,000 subscribers and now the channel is at 225k!! It's crazy. This is a picture from the last season of YouTube house which was really fun this year @chelsealifts and @brianturner both on the right
Anyways, I'm trying to get a hang of how things work around here and I think it'll take me a bit but I'm excited to be here. I have a lot of different things that I am into so I'm excited to talk about that! I'm really new to cryptocurrencies and all of this kind of stuff so I'm hoping that I can learn a lot more about that here and just in general as I put more time into it. I am also really excited to post some of my bigger challenges here. I'll see you guys around here, thanks for welcoming me!
Welcome to steemit! This platform will quickly make you forget about all social media ;)
Welcome to the platform! We could use some more fun around here. It looks like you know a lot about that.
Agreed. Uninstalled Facebook a month ago and haven't felt better. No more fake news and constant remarking of ads.
Thanks Hanshotfirst! Hopefully I'll be able to provide that for you!
@eriktgeelectric
What is the name of that food monster?
Did you manage to eat that?
If yes you need to change your name to ericthemadman😂
Awesome to have you here. Really hop you enjoy what we've got going and I can tell you will be an awesome addition to an already awesome community.
How did you end up becoming a full-time youtuber?
Hey There, Brandon! Thanks for welcoming me! I've always loved YouTube. Getting feedback and recognition for creating content has always made me love the platform. When I was able to find out that I could blend my "eating abilities" into content creation I was SOLD! Thanks for the warm welcome!
Great story! I'm looking to starting a youtube channel as well dtube. Good luck with everything on steemit bud!
Haha welcome to SteemIt! First time meeting someone on here that is a competitive eater!
Thanks for the welcome Hustle!
This post was resteemed by @steemvote and received a 25.87% Upvote
YES dude! I'm pumped you are starting to post here, now we just gotta get Chelsea to finally post her introduction too lol
My MAN! I wouldn't be here if it weren't for YOU!
Haha, you r crazy :)
Welcome!
Thanks my friend!
Welcome to Steem...
Hahaha, oh man... you seem like quite the character. That burger fries thing looks absolutely ridiculous. I can't even imagine.
I once eat an entire McDonald's family meal on a dare, and I was weird and buzzed for the whole night - I'm pretty sure I started phasing forwards and backwards in time. So I really can't imagine how you've eaten everything you have.
Look forward to seeing what sort of craziness you bring to Steemit!
Thanks Aussie! That's quite a feat! I did the entire McDonalds value menu a few months ago and it WRECKED me! Thanks for the warm welcome!
Welcome to the Steem blockchain Erik, I'm so happy you are here! I'm sure you have heard of DTube already?
Thanks Lyndsay! Unfortunately I haven't heard of Dtube yet! Who's he?
It's a decentralized video uploading platform created specifically for the Steem Blockchain. You upload your videos to DTube and they automatically show up on your Steemit Blog. There is no censorship on DTube, and you will make a lot more Earnings posting your videos there, than on youtube I bet!
https://d.tube/
This a fun post and I am definitely excited to see more from you, thanks for joining Steemit, we are glad to have you. Be sure to let your audience know about your success here. :)

Welcome on Steem Erik! Steem is super exciting and I think you'll very much like it!
Cryptocurrencies are the future and Steem is a very special breed in this space!
Thank you sir! As I said in my original post, I'm doing the most that I can to learn more about cryptocurrencies and how they work, but I'm hoping to get it down!
It is so awesome to have you here and welcome. Definitely an awesome addition to the community. That was so much food you ate.

Competitive eater - I have always wondered why people do this. Can you shed some light for me. Welcome to Steemit !
Thanks Ervin! Competitive Eating is something not very "understood" with the majority of the population as it's still "up and coming" in the year 2017. In this day and age, ANYTHING can be "competitive" depending on the person and their hobbies.
I was always very interested in food and could always take down quite a large amount of it in my days!
welcome on board bro
Thanks Alasco!
