Hello Steemit ! Random echo checking in

I’m Random. My family originally hails from Lazio, Italy. I moved from Paris France and I am currently residing in California, USA.

In the course of doing research on cryptocurrency I discovered Steemit.
I’ve been cruising around the Steemit network and I am very pleased to see so much energy and enthusiasm . People are so passionate about their interests, I don’t think there’s much chance for boredom on this site and that’s a good thing!

I am very much looking forward to learn about other people’s interests and passions and how I might be able to contribute to the conversation. As a new member of steemit I am still learning the ropes on how everything works which is why I am a little slow in getting out of the starting blocks. There is so much to learn that sometimes I feel more than a little overwhelmed . But I will persevere !

I can tell you that what has me excited about steemit is the opportunity to learn new things and sharing ideas and watching to see how those ideas can impact other peoples’ lives for the better.

I am looking forward to having stimulating exchanges on many topics of mutual interest. I am keenly interested in how science and technology can bring about meaningful change that can make a difference in people’s lives. I think that technology when used judiciously is a force multiplier that can benefit us all by leveling the playing field for everyone.

I have read the American constitution and in that document it talks about “promoting the general welfare “ which I think is about promoting the common good. It seems to me that in large parts of the world ( USA included ) we are seeing way too much of a “Hooray for me and screw you" attitude .

Part of the value of the steemit network is that we can contribute our collective brainpower to continuing that conversation and hopefully make a difference in the lightening of that burden in some meaningful measure.

I have to say that for me joining steemit sort of feels like joining the rebel alliance in Star Wars. If you feel that way too.
