Hi,
I'm a professional Poker player for the last 11 years and I recently also stream on twitch (
). Currently Im on a Bankroll challenge to turn my 30.000$ into 3 million to then retire from poker. The current standing after 7 months is 170.000$!
Recently I have been getting obsessed by cryptocurrency and trading, which brought me to steemit.
Before I go into the reasons I joined steem, Im gonna give an overview of
What to expect by my posts:
I will go to the World Series of Poker in about 2 weeks and Im going to blog about my experience there on a hopefully daily basis.
Thats to start with, in general I will also blog about everything that interests me and I think will be of interest to more people.
Im a numbers guy, so be prepared for maybe some number crunching in my posts ;)
Since im currently interested in trading a lot, I might talk about certain cryptos, trading psychology and mistakes a lot of people do. As well as rant about stuff like Poloniex lag or so on ;P
When it comes to blogging quality.. I'm not a proffesional writer, but I write from my heart.
Now on to the reasons I joined steemit:
Lets go back to the year 1999, I just got internet, the dot com bubble was in full effect.
I fell in love with a site called Ciao.com, I figured you can write articles and get money for your posts! Awesome!
I wrote about games I reviewed at that time and made 10 bucks or so, very exciting for me at the time!
Unluckily the money source of advertisment took a big hit and the revenue for the likes dropped to basicly zero.
I think steemit has the potential to make it better!
Jump forward to the year 2007, I just started playing poker and enjoyed reading poker blogs. In fact, the reason I started poker, was that I was reading a blog of a Warcraft 3 player named Tillerman, that started playing Poker and bought a house with his winnings.
So I also started my own blog and wrote about things that interested me in Poker. I kind of want to revive that with steemit.
My old blog can still be seen there I think: http://fold4value.blogspot.com
And finally, I think steemit has the potential to get Huuuuuge, so there are also investement reasons that brought me here tbh.
See you guys back when I start post from Vegas most likely!
hi, it´s me the fan´s girl :)
Welcome to the platform, I wish everything work out for you. It’s not easy here but not difficult neither but just ask an extra effort, engagement is the key good luck I’m @goodaytraders
Ty, I'm probably not going to try to squeeze any cent out of making money on steemit, but I see the potential for people that want to do that and want to support and grow the platform by posting on it and gain through investement in steem.
Welcome to Steem @thefan83 I have sent you a tip
And I dont know how that works yet, haha, but ty!
