Hi folks - or like i would say - Servus zam.
This is my first post on the internet and i thought steemit would be the perfect plattform to introduce myself to the online world. This is not because i'm living under a rock, but im very concerned about anonymity. So don't be too disappointed, when i will leave the picture of me off. Nevertheless a "short" profile should give you a good insight of my persona...
Name? Alex
Nickname? Shine0n
Where comes my nickname from? Many years ago i had to quickly choose a name for a online chat room, in which a friend invited me (maybe some germans here can remember of antennebayern chat :-) and i had to act quickly. As i am totally uncreative and i didn't had a name until then, i took the name of the song i was actually hearing. And this was Lil Wayne - Shine0n (I still like it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B9s3Jozowg). As i didnt wanted to call myself lil wayne, i choose Shine0n :-))
Home? Small and unknown city near Augsburg. Where is Augsburg? Medium city near Munich, Germany. So as some of you noticed by my greeting i am a real bavarian (Yes... i love bavarian veal sousages (Weißwurst) and wheatbear for breakfast)
Age? 26
Job? Im working for a small software company with aroung 30 employees - so basically i have to do everything, presales, sales, consulting, development, marketing. My contract says i am a IT-Consultant, but i don't like that term, as people thinking about top-styled guys in a hugo boss suit when they hear consultant. But most of the time i go to work in short trousers and t-shirt. Of course when doing projects at the customer i have to dress more properly. But i almost never wear suits.
Education? Study in information systems (3 years bachelor, 2 years master)
Status? In a relationship (for nearly 10 years now!).
How do i came to steemit? As i am technical interested i informed myself about bitcoin (I have to be honest - I really do not understand cryptocurrencies in depth). Shortly i realized, that there is so much more available, like ethereuem, litecoint, etc.. So my confusion got even bigger. By researching i stumbled across an article in steemit. By diving deeper into this topic, i realized, that the content here is very solid and valueable. Thus i found it very interesting - i registered - and now i'm here :-)
Why i'm not active in other platforms/blogs etc.? Like said, i like to be anoynmous on the internet, thus a blog was no option, because in germany you will get into trouble when you dont put an legal information with your real name, adress etc. on the site. I am registered in Facebook, but i never posted anything. Once in a while i am a quite reader of the postings of friends and acquaintances. But i think you will agree with me, that 95% of the facebook content is crap. So overall im more a backround reader. I will leave it to the future if i will keep the same here in steemit or if i will be an active poster. My goal at least is to really participate and be active in this community.
What are my interests? I'm interested in all different IT-topics. I like traveling with my girlfriend. I like all different kind of music, mostly hiphop and electro. I like my work (might sound strange). And i like all different topics in long-term wealth building - especially stocks, ETFs, metals, bonds, perhaps cryptocurrencies in the future (when i fully understand them)
So by scrolling down the list of tags in steemit following seems interesting to me: Travel, Music, Money, cryptocurrency, business, economics, finance, investing, steem, blog, fun, science
Political view? I am very unsure about my vote in the upcomming elections here in germany. When i do compare my views with those from the parties, i think i should vote for the left-wing party. On the other hand i cannot deny, that i have captialistic characteristics in me :-). So i should vote for the Free Democratic Party (FDP). Also i like the idea for more direct participation of the citician - which would be the pirate party. Today i will follow the duel of Merkel and Schulz. Maybe i will find some answers in this tv show for my confusion.
So i guesst this were the basic cornerstones of my persona. Like said, feel free to ask, criticize, comment or whatever :-).
So steemians, i wish you a nice day!

Alex willkommen bei steemit, ich bin eine der Personen die leider keine englisch gelernt haben. Vielleicht kannst Du deine Vorstellung in deutsch noch erledigen? Tipp: nutze nur den Tag "deutsch" dann bist Du sehr gut aufgehoben.
@pawos hat mir heute eine Anleitung für Anfänger bei steemit gesendet, ich weiß allerdings nicht wie aktuell diese ist und muss mich erst einmal dadurch arbeiten, aber vielleicht hilft es auch dir weiter steemit etwas besser zu verstehen: https://steemit.com/deutsch/@ligrev/liste-nuetzlicher-erklaerungen-zu-steemit-in-deutsch
Man sieht sich und alles Gute!
Wer ist überhaupt cornholio, hat der irgendwie einen kleinen Schaden??? ...grübel
