Hello everyone! I am very excited to be a part of this amazing community. The more I find out about how all of this works, the more exciting it is. A decentralized social network that incentives its users to contribute - pretty genius. I am a father, husband, tech enthusiast and full time sales guy. I genuinely like to help people, but am a little timid, so I usually hesitate to put myself out there… I hope that being a part of this community will at the very least crack that shell.
I like to write, take pictures, listen to and play music when I'm not trying to sell tech hardware and software or keep my kids from melting down or give me a wife a breather from said crazy children. Been through some ups and downs and hope to explore those moments and a lot of my creative side through this new platform I just discovered a few days ago.
Pretty new to the blockchain scene - I read about Bitcoin over five years ago and I remember reading back then to not even bother with it, you'll burn up more in resources than you'd ever make in mining. And then the exchanges getting hacked. If I would have just invested a $100 back then - arrrgggghhhlll! After reading up on Ethereum a few weeks ago I decided to do a deep dive on the blockchain and the technology is pretty genius - a decentralized ledger built on cryptography - so many applications for something like this. But Bitcoin mining is a big waste of resources… which is how I stumbled upon this wonderful community.
I love to learn about new things - fascinated by the natural world we live in and how everything around us works. Firm believer in individuality and questioning everything. That the most reputable sources are the ones that are humble and acknowledge that they could be wrong, that opinion is not fact. If someone is telling you they are the one and only truth - do not follow that person, do not listen to them, question everything. I think a lot about life and society and hope that some of my ideas and thoughts are original and are a contribution to the community.
I have a lot of content bottled up in this gas bag - look out world!

Thank you @stanley888. I read your #introduceyourself post, you are funny. I have followed you as well. Is South Park just as big over in Malaysia as it is here in the US?
South Park not popular in Malaysia.
But you like it, right? What is popular in Malaysia?
BoBoiBoy
I can see why - thanks for sharing @stanley888! That's something I myself will probably watch with my kids now.

STOPThanks @steemitboard. I like the concept of the awards system, but aren't you depleting your voting power by posting and upvoting so many things? Even becoming a witness may not be enough to overcome this with all of the new users added every day. But that's just my thought - I am very new at all of this so I could be (probably am) wrong.
