Hello from Angola (an African country)
Hello Steemit, my name is Bruno, I'm 27 (almost 28) and I am from Angola. Angola is an African country located here:
My native language is Portuguese, but I like to write in English just to practice. Most of the "good stuff" is written in English so it helps. I also use an App called Grammarly and it helps a lot.
I joined Steemit because I heard that it allows people to determine the value (the real value) of the content that is published. I think that this concept is brilliant because nowadays it is becoming harder to find a social media platform that has value as the main goal. So I'm here to share my background, my stories, my work and etc... I hope it will help or touch someone in a good way.
I'm currently researching and learning about cryptocurrencies, mainly Bitcoin and Ethereum. Since the last year, my country has been deprived of all major fiat currencies (USD and EUR), so it is getting harder and harder to travel and to buy services or products from abroad. I believe that cryptocurrencies will solve this problem because they provide a universal, borderless, payment system. I'm also an Ethereum miner (with 30 Mh/s on average) and I wish to expand by reinvesting the profits made from mining so that one day I can create a mining farm and hopefully help people from my community to get into the universal payment system by exchanging cryptocurrencies for fiat currencies.
At the beginning of this year, I set a goal for myself. The goal was to read 12 books (1 per month) during the course of this year. I ended up achieving the goal much sooner than I expected. You can find below the list of the books I have read:

I'm currently reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki.
I think books are the best way to collect multiple mindsets and make them your own. Books make your mind open to new possibilities, new ways of thinking and new ways of perceiving the world around you.
So that's it. This is my introduction to the world. I hope you enjoyed reading it and please feel free to comment. As an African, my ultimate goal is to inspire other Africans to start creating products, content, and services. We need to stop consuming and start creating solutions to our own problems because nobody else will.
And me!
(Yes, I also have a small home studio, making beats is my hobby. I will post some of my stuff here as well)
My motto: Great things come from small things that you do every day.
