MY STORY

Hello everyone, my name is Tavi and I'm a 21 years old. I'm currently living in Bucharest, Romania while I'm studying electronics, telecommunications and information technology at Universitatea Politehnica Bucharest.

Enough with the boring side of my self, now let me introduce you to my story. Around 6 years and 3 months in november 2011 I started playing league of legends after a conflict between MOBAs with my class colleagues. I was a "dota" fanboy and they were in the "league of legends" edge. Both of the camps were trying to get the the others to play their game, so as I was a very competitive person I just joined their game in the hope that I will become better than them.

After a few months of playing I have become a lot better than them even though I hated the game after playing about 10 games. Despite my initial views on the game I started to enjoy the game really hard and that's where my journey actually began. At that moment I didn't even think I would ever be a part of top 200 players on the server or that I would be facing pro well-known players like xPeke, Doublelift or Imaqtpie.

In the next 5-6 years ( all of my High-School years ) I have been playing the game about 10-15 hours a day. I wasn't sleeping , I was becomming addicted of getting a better rank in the game and I was enjoying winning. Besides all of that I've never enjoyed playing the game as a team player in the amateur scene, I was just enjoying playing from home, with random people, listening to my music or podcasts and chilling.

Although I have been streaming league of legends content for a few months in the past, there has been one point in my life when I considered there's more important stuff than streaming video games in this life to do. I might have been foolished and forked my destiny there, but who knows?

Considering all these years of gaming and unhealthy lifestyle you may know already I wasn't having a good shape at all. I was feeling sad, fat, depressed and I never liked the way I look. So, at one point in my life I started really really hard documenting on fitness and nutrition. Even though all I had to do was clear in my mind ( start sport and eat healthy ) I felt like I never had the motivation to do so, but it was more like I didn't have the right plan.

So, the first thing I've done it was buying a 3 month membership at the gym. I knew that most of the time people quit after 1 month because they start to procastinate ( ex. gym membership ends thursday and people say they'll start their new ones on monday and if they miss monday they won't hit the gym again for a certain time ). While I bought my membership at the gym I've wanted to compensate that and adding another external stimulus so I can be sure I will not quit, so I've started a bet with a polish friend of mine( who was playing league of legends and was also a MMA fighter ) that I will go to the gym at least 3 times per week and if I don't I will send him 100$ on PayPal. Therefore I was sending him photos with myself each time I was going to the gym.

This way I've created a habbit on going to the gym and not missing it out. I consider this is the most important thing to do - CREATING THE HABBIT. It is said it takes 2-3 months to create a habbit so I've applied this theory in my life and it worked perfect. Although I solved the gym issue I still had to fix my nutrition, after trying every diet and nutrition protocol existing on planet I have started to understand nutrition as a whole and my human body, thins which give me easiness into achieving my goals.

That's my latest update on my physique ( november 2017)

Although gym has changed my self a lot - both mentally and physically - it was still not what I was striving for. I am a really nerdy person I love spending a lot of time in front of my computer and I've always wanted to contribute to something bigger than me and to have the freedom of taking risks and evolving financially.

Therefore, about 2 months ago in november I've firstly discovered this crypto world which I personally think is one oportunity in a lifetime. The technology, the new ICOs comming out , the news and the regulations that happen on the entire planet are fascinating me. I really think the cryptocurrencies have a lot of potential and I love studying them
thorough. That's also the reason of why I've created a romanian youtube channel on crypto trying to inform a lot of people about different projects, existing coins, tokens, investing and trading in this new era of blockchain.

There are some negative sides in the crypto world but if you know how to filter the fishy projects and coins from the legit one you can win a lot from that. There are multiple ways of winning in cryptocurrencies - Mining/Cloudmining, trading or investing in the long term. All of them have pros and cons upon which I will discuss in my next posts on the website.

As a side note I have tripled my initial investment in the cryptoworld. When I first invested Bitcoin was at about 13000-14000$ and now is 11000$, so it wasn't that easy so to speak.

I am looking forward on posting a lot more on the crypto, gym, nutrition or even league of legends topics in the future. I am really grateful to be a part of the steemit! Thank you for reading and I'm excited to hear about your stories!
