Since I was only 14 I wanted to start trading stocks. I used to check the ASX (Australian Stock Exchange) almost daily and enjoyed tracking companies I liked! However, I had to wait until I was 18 to start trading.
However, a few months before I turned 18 I discovered crypto! I started investing and never looked back. Far easier than trying to trade shares and far more potential in my opinion. I always planned to do commerce + engineering at uni, but since learning about blockchain, I decided to choose commerce + computer science!
You arrived at a great time, lucky git :D
Stocks are going in slow motion compared to crypto, but the theories with regards to tech trading are still the same. Fundamentals? bah!
Good luck building up your fortune - might be all done by 25 :D
If you have a bit of spare time and have a spare witness vote knocking around, check out our 'mission' here

Cheers!
True, I should clean up my witness voting. I just voted for top 30 before as I didn't really know what I was doing.
I've been meaning to unvote everyone and ONLY vote those who I actually want but haven't had the time/mostly just lazy.
However, seeing your (and @paulag's) commitment to the platform, I owe it to you guys to clean up my witness voting and add you as my first true witness vote, congratulations!!
Please check if I've done it correctly, thanks!
Haha, well at least you admitted it :D
The voting page only showing the top 50 is really not cool for the rest of the witnesses - it still included 'inactive' too and so there's even less chance of making it up there!
I see your vote, thank you very much!
Good luck with the trades, STEEM holding $3 - is it going to go on a little run over the weekend?
I honestly think the witness system should work differently. There should be more incentive to vote for witnesses that benefit the platform, more visibility for witnesses, especially for those not in top 50. Hopefully hard work will pay off though!
As for Steem, I'm hoping and expecting a bull run! So much happening on the blockchain and being ranked number 2 by China while @ned talks about Steemit and SMTs to korea can't hurt!
We have so little supply since so much is locked up in Steem Power, a massive bull run could be possible if the demand actually increases!
Hard work it will be - just did some stats today and we'd need all the minnows not currently voting to push into the top 45 - all 950,000 accounts, haha :D
Yes I agree, stocks go up on rumors and potential, it's about time STEEM did that.
I guess it's rough dedicating your time to the little guys in a "meritocracy" as they say in the whitepaper, but actually an egalitarian type of voting system.
Hopefully, the some dolphins/whales start supporting you, or maybe one day all the minnows you have supported will become whales!!
