Hello i'm B.A Barakas, B.A for short hence the username babarakas43. I got this nickname from the actor Mr T and his character from the A-Team, my real name begins with a T. I work for a major television network as a Master Control Operator.

Videography, photography, and video editing are some of my hobbies , it's been awhile though. I have some music videos i've done with an artist (Young Picc) that I'll be posing from time to time. I made my sign via photoshop, i'm not that savvy just know the basics.

I got involved in cryptocurrency at the end of August 2017. I heard about bitcoin and decided to blindly dive in. I learned from watching Youtube videos, especially @Dhenz (They Call Me Dan) and reading reddit post. I've spent hours soaking everything up. I'm still learning. I started randomly buying coins and ran into Steem at around .60 cents and purchased a couple, which i unwisely sold off. I had started a Steemit page which i got approved for and never used. Guess what i committed the cardinal Steemit sin, I lost my password smh. Now i'm starting brand new and back to purchasing Steem.

Steemit is a great platform that i plan to use on a daily basis. Looking forwarding to learning more about the site and interacting with all the great subscribers. Look out for music videos, photos, blogs and skies the limit.

Hopefully you'll take the time to follow my page, and share my Steemit journey. Steem, Steemit, cryptocurrency, and blockchain is the future.

Thanks I like the ledger it's my first and only hardware wallet, so i can't give any comparisons. It's pretty easy to learn and use. Their compatible with a good amount of coins. On the device itself holds about 5 coins, but with the chrome ledger manager app, you can delete one coin and add another to access etc etc.

I'll have to get one, I love my Trezor, very easy to use but they are slow to add new coins and the new coins they add don't always make sense why they added them ie they aren't very popular coins they are adding.

Yeah get you one. I ordered mines from the official site in France. I'm sure there on back order but it's worth the wait. I refused to buy from Amazon or anywhere else.

Hi @babarakas43, Welcome to Steemit!

I wish you good luck here on the platform and a better hand with the password handling than last time;-)

Since you're new on Steemit, here are some tips I give to newbies when I see them:

Never just copy a text or publish a photo/video without explanation. Always add some text and never forget to add an image to a text.
Never steal an article and if you quote something or re-publish one of your own articles from somewhere else, always add a link to the source.
Always use all 5 tags for more visibility.
Here is an interesting site where you can look up the stats for your account and others.
This is another stats site where you can see your reputation and what to do to climb up the ladder. (commenting other posts is very important).
There is even a help site for Steemit where you can find explanations for the site's functionalities
I wrote a post with an explanation of the most important Steemit vocabulary.
Behind this link you will find a list with a total of 60 introduction videos for Stemit.
If you want somebody to read your article or follow your conversation, mention their username (don't forget the @).
Commenting other posts is very important because you get "curation rewards" which means Steem Dollar from the pot for the article as a reward for the interaction.
Learn the Markdown styles to format your posts (you can find how it works in a link on the right side below the text box)
A lot of votes on steemit come from bots that you (or others) can pay for a vote. Depending on the bot, you end up with more $$ than you had before.
All bots work pretty much the same way: You go to your wallet and click on the little arrow next to the Steem Dollar amount. Then click on transfer, fill in the name and the amount and add as memo the URL to the article for which you want an upvote. Very simple.
For newbies the @earthnation-bot is excellent, it supports only newbies and has very profitable upvotes.
There are also resteem bots, but I don't find them too useful and don't know which one is good.
Be careful with your password and watch out for scamming attempts. Several big accounts got stolen and now they try to lure others into giving away their password by posting comments with links to fishing sites.
You have several different passwords. Whenever you have to use a password and it is not stated differently, use the active key and as little as possible your owner key! The latter is the big key to your account and if that is gone, you account is gone.

I will follow you now. (<- always add that to a comment when you intend to follow the person who wrote the article. This way, you increase the likelihood that they follow you as well.)
