Finally the introduction you have all been waiting for! (long story)
Well, hello there!
ok, so where to begin?...
I am in my mid 20s living in Norway at the moment.
My days trying to code a little and setting up different hardware was long ago, or so it feels when im trying to understand technical stuff nowadays.
But i have always been curious, even if i might have a little paranoia, back in late 2012 i think? i heard about this bitcoin and Silkroad, and started reading about mining. i really wish i would have just kept my computer running while i was abroad that year instead of turning it off. (dont we all have a story like that)
So here we are a couple of years later and im finally back on the train/rocket. now lets see what i did in the meantime, and why i decided to now go as full in to crypto/blockchain as i am capable of.
I finished my conscriptive year in the army as a journalist with my own 30 page magazine monthly
so pretty much i got a phonecall from the army that i had to go, and i was working at a boring kiosk, so even tough i believe in pasifism i went.
long story short, i got the sweetest possible gig as a journalist with unlimited travel budget inside of the country, so i went for a ball, and visited all the places i wanted to but hadnt visit (ofcourse there had to be a military presence there)
inbeetween travels i continued to live with my GF and sometimes also smoke some weed.
I was a politician in both the muncipality and the state
So basicly for a 3 year period i did a very succsessfull and easy climb to middle goverment, and had the chance to go for a govermental post. then i realizeed that i was looking for change in a naive way, and that even in the "best" western countrys corruption is rampant.
Then i figured out that beeing a public person of interest was not to my liking, since i really enjoy my own privacy. (this is also one of the things that got me thinking about blockchain tech and bitcoin in the first place.)
New city new way to party
I moved, i was sick of the same moneygrubbing soleless finance types of guys i had been hanging around. so i went to study philosophy and figure out my next move.
i ended up in a quite underground partysquad with alot of anarchistsand liberalists, so i started focusing on what i could do ad looking at the world in a different manner (also took quite alot of psychedelics around then)
i started finding my real passion for art, trough the introduction of graffiti in my life by one of the anarchists. the joy i felt when going on a almost military style mission to conquer the wall was extremely euphoric, and i started to realize that experiences can get you higher than any drug!
Now that i had found a new way and purpose i knew what i had to do!
not too cool 4 Artschool
So i got accepted to this crazy free and open artschool in the heart of the capitol, there i learnt to look at things in new perspectives, and actually managed to get my painting skillz up to par. i also managed to find alot of likeminded people ready for a societal change!
the next two years then was filled with little tech but still got me thinking about how to connect two totally different worlds to make a new and amazing result!
Moroccan eco-liberalist freehaven
so i have bought some land in morocco, far off the beaten path where i wish to "retire" by the age of 30, this is a beatifull but dry spot with little regulations as to how and what we can build. i want to gather creatives and freedomseeking people from all over the world to come and enjoy.
Now i started really focusing on blockchain the last 6 months again and are doing some artistic work with it, as well as enjoying the benefits, the real life uses like for instance Steemit brings to the table. i also hope projects like BitNation might get us to a point where it hopefully doesnt matter where you come from!
My hope for steemit is that it will end up as my number one destination for news/blogs and picturesharing. the community here this far is atleast a unique one when it comes to feedback and the horizon of the topics.
So this was a little about me after lurking around her for about one month, keep on steemin guys!
if you enjoyed this article i would really appreciate a resteem so i hopefully can connect with more interesting figures in here!
Edit: napkin info and melon time! Mmm

Likewise, now I know a handful of Norwegians either from the art scene or party scene in here:)

I like your post, Americans started out as anarchy but we kept getting attacked so now we are organized. You should add a photo holding a piece of paper. On it write the date, your name, and steemit. Hit edit and add the photo and from henceforth thou shall receive more rewards. I hope this helps you. Why is it that so many artists and writers join militaries? This we will defend?
I will take your tip And add a photo with paper:)
Well in my country we have forced military service for 12 months (conscription), and I didn't want to lie about my health or psyche to get out of it :) but all in all it made me firmer in my beliefs of non-violance (seeing all the idiots with guns)
Thanks a lot for your reply! :)
