Hello Steemians, this is my first post in this community. Kind of drowning in all content here on this platform, how is one supposed to stand out from the crowd? (let alone find all that interesting content oneself want to read?) Haha. I guess it'll become clear as time goes by..
So why am I here? Well, I have wanted a place to collect and express my thoughts and ideas (and they are many!) without necessarily spam people on Facebook who are only there to look at cat videos anyway. Also it's not the best place for productive thought and discussion, usually just trolls and narrow-mindedness floating around. I want to talk blockchain, philosophy, politics - sometimes all three at once!
A bit about me : I'm a cosmopolitan, procrastinator and champion of fairness, openness and respect. I first heard about bitcoin back in 2011, when you still could mine your own coins at home if you just bought a few decent PCs, and I have been fascinated by the project ever since. Recent developments has left me worried though - I feel the original purpose of Satoshi with creating an alternative financial universe where big banks and governments has no role or influence is starting to erode. Since I am not a coder/developer but a social science alum my perspective on blockchain is mainly philosophical, which I think is lacking in the current discourse. I want this thing to truly revolutionize the world. I believe it can! Or could have... Maybe both Satoshi and myself have been too naive.
I don't know if that train has already passed, but give me a shout/follow if you are likeminded. Or disagree. I don't claim to know everything, I foresee a lot of my posts being exploratory and not always coherent hehe, so do let me know when my argument is flawed. Would love to get a good discussion going. And let me know if you have similar content so I can follow you!
Welcome!!!!! Imho, Satoshi is the govt.
Thanks @rawdawg! I am aware of that theory yes, and it's pretty intriguing I have to say. At the very least, it must be a group of people, who have been highly trained in encryption. I don't see how one single person randomly can come up with something like the blockchain..
Look who's here ^^ Fylgja, I'm just here to leave a nice Hello ^^. Unfortunately i don't have much voting power, but i will be back and vote my followers. Need to grow a little ^^. Have a great time @rightuppercorner

Haha, nice pic! @doctorcrypto
@fylgja I just joined today also! Thank you for your intro and hope to read more about your philosophy of blockchain. I just started researching into cryptocurrencies and all I have are questions about how all of this might or might not change the future of currency and transactions.
Welcome to steemit you too then @brianmadrigal, fellow newbie! Maybe I can answer some of those questions for you. Or just leave you with more questions haha. It's a vast topic for sure.

STOPAloha! Your account was recently created so I'd like to offer you my welcome. Have one upvote from me and never stop posting!
As a newcomer to steemit, it's not easy getting those big upvotes so my advice would be to give @MinnowPowerUp a go as you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I compiled this post to explain the system in more depth and share my own experience in earning wupvotes for over $1 a day.
Thanks a lot for the tips @thauerbyi! I'm not really here to make money (even though it is definitely an interesting side effect to get that kind of credit for your work despite not being a salaried writer), but I hope I can manage to engage and connect with a few people at least. Or many. Who knows, time will tell :)
