It's high time I joined Steemit cos....
...it's decentralised and based around blockchain. At least we burn out some of the oppression of the mega tech giants.
I'm mostly an author... been published by Random House, St. Martin's, Orion, etc... but now have my own publishing house called SnakeStone. You just don't want, nor need, mainstream publishers now.
I also do a lot of tech stuff (for my own sites) and run various businesses. And I'm fairly big into crypto and Bitcoin - dApps, all that.
Used to write for many of Britain's national newspapers and magazines... but was glad to escape that. Who needs heavy deadlines and being told what to do and what to write... but also it's gone all out page views, so it's a miserable profession now.
If it ain't fun, pull out.
Other than the above, I like hitting the road in my car or motorcycle - getting the hell away from civilisation, because it ain't civilised.
So what I'm gonna do here on Steemit is take my time, check it all out. Then fire up some stories. Might cover stuff that's going on if I'm on the scene. I'll also write about some of my crypto experiences - seems to me it will get more into the mainstream, what with Coinbase doing its Visa card. The other day I paid for shopping at the store from my Bitcoin balance, which I thought was great.
Peace,
Jimmy.
P.S. Here's my maxim in life: Nothing is true, everything is possible...

I've never published books, but I've been writing my own biography on Steemit. So, I've written books and books worth of stuff. So, yeah, blockchain is the future for so many reasons. I bought a plane ticket with Bitcoin for my return from Vietnam back to America in 2017. Welcome to Steemit. Upvoted. Resteemed. Keep up the good work.
That's 100% the way, write the bones of books on Steemit, or wherever that's decentralised. To me, dApps and decentralised web has the potential to free us all, one way and another. And mostly the apps are far superior to the proprietary ones. The learning curve, for the non techie, is you have a different password system, the encryption, and you CAN'T lose them! People have got used to being nannied. And that's what the big tech giants wanted - dependency.
In fact, I'm going to write the bones of a new book here on Steemit. I'll make each post clear on that, as some of it will be aimed at non-tech people - so those that know all that can skip it. And I bet I'll get stuff wrong, so expect to be corrected.
Younger kids can learn Steemit a lot better than the older people, generally. So, they may choose to develop those skills to keep track of passwords, keys, to be more independent. Not everybody will work on these life skills but more people will have the opportunity to at least think about it.
