Introduction and my first posting

in #introduceyourself • 6 years ago

Dear Steemit Community,

I want to give it a try and make my first posting here and it seems traditionally this should be my personal introduction.

My name is Florian and I am in my mid-30s and a German citizen. I have grown up near Stuttgart, the car capital of Germany. Not really one of the first cities you would visit when you come to Germany, but a lovely place to which I always like to return (home sweet home). After studying law and economics in Germany, I did my masters at New York University and National University of Singapore and fell in love with Asia. I started working in a law firm in Singapore and that is where I am still based today, athough I will be helping out in our Bangkok office once in a while.

Singapore is a lovely place but as much are the countries all around. One of my personal hobbies is therefore travelling and exploring. I have been to Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and many other places in the region. Thailand is one of my favourites and I am slowly studying a bit of Thai language.

Apart from potentially sharing some of my travel stories and experiences in Asia, I am passionate about cryptocurrencies, blockchain and all the development surrounding it. I have been lucky to get in touch with Bitcoin early, but since I was a poor student at the time, I never bought enough to be one of the lambo-millionaires. Still, I am happy to have been and to still be part of this revolution. As a result, I have also focused in my job on cryptocurrency regulation and taxation and have been able to slowly build up a (small) client base in this area in Singapore. In my postings, I would therefore like to share some experience I have been able to obtain in crypto taxation, accounting and regulation and hope to help some people and get some followers.

Many thanks that I may be part of your community and looking forward to meet as many of you as possible.

    Hello florian.leber! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

    1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
    2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
    3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
    4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
    5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
