Coffee, Art and Crypto

in #introduceyourself6 years ago (edited)

Hi fellow Steemians!

Thought I better do a quick intro as I've not gotten round to it yet. Too many post ideas and too much going on in the world of new tech and crypto. I'm still learning about Steemit [this links to a useful FAQ] and some of the tools and extra projects being integrated with it. Looks really promising but I hope it's robust enough. No system is perfect.

Anyway, I'm Ade (short for Adrian): artist, gamer and techie. Originally from the UK, based out in France.
What's my avatar about? - it's an evolving guy holding an eye symbol and a symbol of growth and harmony. Maybe one day we'll get to where we're going. You can see the full image here.

I'll be mostly posting about crypto and the decentralised future. Market sentiment, platforms, sites I've used and basically tracking the space.

Now and then, I'll post about creative stuff (free guitar experiments, illustrations, photos) and other random things (games, movies reviews). It's about keeping inspired and taking notes. I like trying to understand nature/evolution and our deep connections to it. For my garden, I'm saving up to plant some trees right now.

What I love about Steemit is the posting is quick at present. If one day posting becomes as off-putting and slow as Wordpress, I think this would be a shame. It has to be quick, and the markup language isn't difficult to get. I also love the transparency of Steemit, the importance of Steem Power and finally: a promising reward scheme for content creators. I think the personal 'Feed' area needs some work though.

The experience of keeping, trading, using crypto is a great one, if we can all get through the regulation hurdles and see this space grow with more confidence and become more about utility than 'getting to the moon'.
There's a lot of people trying to predict this space out there, but when it comes to buying coins you've got to believe in a project and, even better, make use of it. That means spending not just hodling! It's going to a bumpy ride before we get to widespread adoption.

Recommended tech:
Google Chromebooks : so easy and quick for working. There are so few updates and I just got so tired of waiting for Microsoft Updates all the time. Argh!!

That's all for now folks...
I hope you'll follow along with me and contribute comments to any of my posts and bring some added value to them.
Stay tuned, and hope to read you around Steemit ! :)

Some previous (and ongoing) projects:

Try some coffee...

Have you heard of Gamelit or VRMMOs? It's a genre of writing combining Sci-Fi and Gaming ('Ready Player One' is one example, although the books normally have stats and RPG elements). Well, I've written two books about the 'Spiral VR' gameworld called 'Fountellion'. see my site: The Spiral Times
I'm hoping to share some extracts here too.

Affordable VR: I write occasionally about experiences on affordable VR devices GEAR VR and upcoming OCULUS GO.
See my blogsite usingVR.

Do you like older, classic games? See my old retro gaming blog 'Notes from Super Worlds'

Welcome to the Steemit community. I hope you enjoy your time with us.

Hey there, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and you rock and I draw and I love coffee and I love Bitcoin you are so cool.

thnks! the world needs some crypto expresso today.

I hope you dont mind another "short" message :)

I figured that you may not ever know what steem power and steem dollar is and how to use it on steemit for your own benefit.

Check out this article (not mine, but very well written):
https://steemit.com/steem/@kevinwong/why-should-you-consider-accumulating-steem-power

Also if this is not enough then another good explanation can be found here: https://99bitcoins.com/making-money-with-steemit-steem-dollars-and-steem-power-explained/

You can find loads of good material also you youtube.

Let me underline why in my opinion it is important to power up your "steem power". At the beginning you will start your adventure on steemit as so called "minnows". Which simply means that you are "nobody". That's how I see it.
Most of those who invested into steem power are helping (SP) also those who have some SP and they help and benefit each other by upvoting their own posts.
If you have no steem power then your upvote has absolutely no value which make things more difficult, as many bigger players only will not treat you seriously.
That's anyway my own impression here so far.

Cheers, Piotr

thanks for the advice. Yes, i've seen some great videos on youtube too by @brandonfrye . The minnows shall rise up and find greatness!

Thx for your reply :) I really appreciate.

I agree, @brandonfry is a great guy.

Just like I promissed: I will follow you now and I hope to see more good content on your profile.

Also it's worth to have a look at those 2 usefull tools: https://steemstats.com and http://steemvoter.com
Im not sure if you ever knew those two. If not then check them out.

If you would ever have any questions or simply would like to keep in touch then please dont hestitate to write to me. My email: [email protected]
I will be more than happy to share/exchange my knowledge and experience (of course within my limited time)

And believe me, it's really hard to start without powering up your account on steemit. It's pretty much first thing you need to do if you're thinking about building reach here.

Cheers,

Hi

Thank you for #introducingyoursef.

I noticed that we both share similar passion towards cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology :)

Im myself quite new in steemit community but I realized that there are few things you could do to have a better start:
Mostly I invested a little bit in STEEM in order to purchase STEEM POWER and STEEM DOLLARS. Why? It's simply important. Without initial investment it will be very hard for you to build reach here and be noticed.

Im not sure if you ever heard about this site: http://steemd.com/@your_username
Example: https://steemd.com/@example
Perhaps you know it already :)

If you will reply to this message (that would allow me to believe that we may develop mutual engagement and help each other) then I will follow you and upvote some of your future posts.

Cheers and good luck, Piotr

One more thing just crossed my mind a moment ago.
Im assuming that you're new here and i would like you to understand that steemit is quite full of spam. Luckily steemit community related to blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies seem to be quite mature.
You will realize that there is many people out there who are trying to help newcomers or simple promote themselfs by sharing their knowledge and experience. I strongly support what they do and I myself decided to spent few minutes a day looking for new members of this society that are having similar interests.
My goal is to help those new members who can really contribute into this community by sharing my experience and by upvoting and commenting future posts.

After all this is still quite new platform and it's up to us to shape our little community.

One more time, welcome on steemit and I wish you all the best!

Cheers,
Piotr
