(Note: I just had to make a minor change and tag this properly. I am a newbie learning my way around. I welcome any support! Thank you!)
Hello and my name is Joyce. I would like to introduce myself in here and learn along. I joined here because I see it as my opportunity to join the Steem community to build my cryptocurrency portfolio. I have made my first huge investment in Litecoin and wanted to expand my portfolio of investing in other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. I have made other three different small crypto investments as I have gotten them free as promotions so I have a total of 4 now. Bitcoin is very pricey - that is the reason why I want to join in here to learn and earn so I can expand my portfolio in the cryptocurrency world. I believe all the Steemians and I have made a smart move today and be prepared once the world goes digitally crypto in the future. It will take some time for the world to evolve and change. Remember back in the past where people used to pay for everything with cash, then boom came credit cards — debit cards — pay from smart phones — some already started with Bitcoin —- finally fully digital money???? Will cash survive and be deemed any value in the future? Hmmmmm
Alright! I am excited! I am taking my time to browse around the Steem platform and be comfortable with it. As you can see my username is “thepitbullgal” - that is because I love and adore pit bull dogs ever since I was first introduced to a stray pit bull girl by my mutual friend, Josh. Josh and I went to RIT in Rochester, NY back in between 1995 - 1998 or so. He unannouncedly left Rochester and I did not know where he was until my husband and I bumped into him at University of NM in May, 2002. We were so surprised to see him again so a few months later he asked us about taking in a stray dog. He told us that it was a pit bull. We were not sure but I wanted to see the dog first. Upon the sight of her, I simply said “beautiful” while Jonathan was still afraid and unsure. Until we brought her home, we instantly fell in love with Fawny. She was a red-nosed pit - such a sweetheart. She helped us to change our perspective of the pits. SO we decided that it is the pits we will ever own and have! Damn those medias feeding wrong information on how dangerous the pits are. They painted wrong images of the pits being the most dangerous breed in the world when it is ACTUALLY NOT about the breed itself. ALL breeds are innocent unless proven to be a threat to public inflicted by their arrogant and ignorant owners. These bad owners are to be blamed for not treating their dogs right. Ever since owning pits, all my past and current 6 pits are very friendly, sweet and lovable. That is because I give them ample love and discipline them with love - thus are the most well behaved dogs around people and dogs. Out of 6 pits, for the first time we adopted 6 weeks-old female twins back in September 2018. They are now 8 months old. We absolutely love them. It takes lots of patience, time and love to train / discipline them. They are getting better everyday. They are very friendly despite of being afraid of some people and dogs as well as unfamiliar noises. I gotta be frank up front with you all - I am deaf. Because I cannot hear some noises, I cannot tell the twins what it is and that it is okay not to be afraid. The pits are the best protective asset for me because I can walk alone in safety considering my deafness. They also help to thwart people in general to stay away from me because of their brains-already-infected by the media’s untruthful propaganda on the pits. Minus people who are simply afraid of dogs in general - that’s different. It is truly unfair for the pits to get a very bad reputation while other breeds are often not mentioned in the news of attacking / killing people. Anyway, having pits help me to go out if I have to walk them alone without my husband due to schooling and work schedules. Few people would stop to adore and pet my dogs because they know and understand the pits. That I welcome! Even my pits help to educate and change other people’s perspective as they would often comment not realizing how sweet and friendly they are! Bravo to them for realizing the truth upon meeting my pups!
Whew! How’s that for my first post in here? I welcome any tips or suggestions! I am here to learn and thrive. I wanna expand my crypto portfolio for the sake of the future. I wanna be ready when the world is fully money-digital. Having cash is awesome but sadly it will be slowly depleted and will no longer be used for a major variety of reasons. Hint: government imposing silly and nonsense regulations on us - that’s another debate! I am not going into that now as I am sure other Steemians have shared in here. I have to fish around and look for these posts. If you know such posts, let me know. Thank you and good night! Will be checking with you guys and gals later.
Karaju and Odella are 8 months-old twins. Osayna is the oldest girl and will be 16 in July. Karaju means high wonderful spirit helper. Odella means a wealthy little spiritual girl. Osayna means praise.
Welcome to Steemit @thepitbullgal !

Thank you. What's partiko? I better check it out soon.
One more thing, how do I find my post fast when I sign into Steem?? I have to search around and it takes awhile for me to find my post.
The other guy who called me a bot explained you already.
But you can download Partiko anyway if you want, it's a quite new Steemit app, it's easy for posting, especially new users like it very much.
Posted using Partiko Android
:) Partiko is the best app for the phones I believe!
Und tut mir leid @zanoni da ist ein mench! :P
This is a bot account posting below each new user that joins, you then use his link and he gets free tokens from doing so or some perk. You wont get a reply because its not human hahahhahahahaha!
This site is full of AI, and you can click on the user icon or name and then go see what comments he has been leaving to see if its a bot. New users use up their voting power on upvotes to bot accounts which is a waste :)
Not many people know this and they think of one bitcoin, but its even possible to buy say 20usd worth of btc because it has 8 decimal places meaning that the lowest amount you can buy is 0.00000001 :)
This will be the last year I hope that we shall see bitcoin at 4k usd, unless governments start to sell off all what they have been buying which would bring the price really low - but they know themselves how valuable and underpriced it is already.
Love what you said about Cash. At the end of the day it is only a piece of paper paying with a promise that the piece of paper has the value of the digit on it, and it has no value when someone with power says it hasn't anymore :)
I am only using cash! No phones no cards and no banks, and I like it!
If you click always on your avatar pic/icon then it drops the menu down, to see your last post, you click blog and you can then click Hide Resteems to show your posts that you wrote.
Its a real interesting time to join up!! If you ever see the cracks in this place of how it really is then just don't ever take it personal, it is a social media site afterall :) If you find the game called drugwars then please dont spend any steem on it just play it for free!
edited on: You can edit the post and add 4 more hashtags so 'dogs' would be a great on for example!
Thank you for telling me how to find my post fast. I got it!
One more thing..how do I edit my post??
click on the post title on your blog, and go down to the bottom, you should see the edit button there :) I would really recommend to copy and paste what you wrote and save it somewhere on desktop because when I first joined i would somehow wipe my posts whilst trying to edit lol
its to the right of 'Reply'
Thank you! You have been helpful so I'm gonna follow you 😊
You can always ask me if you need help. There is alot of support for people just starting out, I think minnowhelper is still such a thing, hmm there are many minnow hashtags as well to go explore and see what they have to offer.. Things have changed though since I joined up!
many steemians and steemit groups are on discord, if you know it?
Do you think I'm a bot?
I think you are a little bit wrong.
Posted using Partiko Android
You sure do like to spam every new user that's joining, seems to be a habit among a fair few :)
I do this to promote Partiko and the new users can ask me for help if they need. So I think it's not a bad habit 😉

I realised this as I see you direct them to the website :) Good on you! Happy to come across you on here! Stay away from them gatoi's hahahahaha

Welcome to the SteemIt Community.
Thank you very much. I'm just being overwhelmed with so many replies..plus I'm just trying to find time to work on my platform but most recent dramas with my roommate is preventing me to get on this. I have an idea of what I want to work on but will do a bit later when I'm all calmed down. Plus I'm overwhelmed with so many invitations to join many wonderful apps, networks, etc. I just don't know who or which to join yet without hurting any Steemians who offered me to join. 🥴
