Hi Steemers! I want to introduce myself as part of my first blog. I am Vicmar from Philippines and currently new in STEEMIT world. I am a miner, a trader, an online job enthusiast, and a banker in profession here in the Philippines.

This is my first ever blog (ever since, and I wish for your support :))

I bumped with cryptocurrencies only this year, hoping to give financial freedom for me and to my love ones. I invested, I earned from it, and also, especially, i LOSE from it. I am a graduate with a Bachelors Degree major in Management Accounting, but that doesn't mean that I can only handle numbers, calculators and pens.

Due to this tech hype, I was able to learn how to assemble computers, trouble shoot with them and learn to use it at their maximum capacity. In fact, I am the only one who assembles my mining rig with the help of Youtube Tutorials
as shown below. (feeling proud :)) )

Me and my simple Mining Rig.

Last June 2017, I engage myself in mining. I invest quite a lot of money (borrowed) in hoping that I can profit easily from it, but I was wrong (hahahaha! no guts no glory). I have to deal with the challenge that was placed before me. I strive, I learn to trade (Bittrex), I look for some online jobs to cope up with the expenses, and I survived 2017!

I learn the pros and cons of mining. I learn to read voltages and amperes only to pursue mining.

The best thing I learned in the world of cryptocurrencies is the word called PATIENCE. Have patience in everything and never give up. There are so many times that giving up my mining rig crossed my mind but, I still strive and have patience.

My little mining rig! (no rack :))

During the last quarter of December, I was introduced by my friend to STEEMIT and I am so happy when my application got approved. I love to write, to compose but was not able to make any blogs for I am not quite confident to any topic to tackle. I am very happy that I have joined STEEMIT and also looking forward to share blogs with you this year 2018!

Cheers to more shares! more likes! more blogs! more earnings! for the year 2018!
