Hey @cement3, welcome to Steemit, it's a great place to be. If you can get into the whole self-expression thing (as seems to be your stated interest above), I think you will find the experience rewarding - and not just in crypto! Nice reading list btw - especially the spiritual section, IMO :). If you're interested, here's a good get-started toolkit and resource guide for Steemit, compiled by @sndbox.

Good luck on Steemit, maybe an Edinburgh meetup will take place if there are enough of us around in this beautiful city :)

Namaste
