Hi Steemit! Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
.. well actually, I'm not. But never let a good opportunity pass to quote some Rolling Stones lyrics, right?
Who am I?
I am a 41 year old man from the east of the Netherlands. The Twente region, to be more specific. Hence my name Grensgeluiden which loosely translates to something as Sounds of the Borderland. As you might know, Twente is a small region sitting on the Dutch / German border. I make a living as a webeditor / copywriter. So publishing on an online platform is not something new for me, but as I normally only write in Dutch and never on a personal note, you still caught me somewhere outside my comfort zone nonetheless. So don't hesitate if you have some comments or remarks about my writings. I'm a single father, co-parenting a toddler girl and a boy who is in his first year of primary school.
What brought me to Steemit, and what do I expect from it?
I'm actually not sure yet. As a cryptocurrency enthousiast I stumbled upon this platform a while ago and decided to create an account. I forgot all about it, and didn't use it really untill today. The last weeks I got more active researching crypto in general, altcoins in particular and that renewed my interest in Steemit. There seems to be a lot of good reads over here about the world of crypto. And besides that: from what I read so far, I find the concept of Steemit very sympathetic and thought Ah well, let's give it a go, and earn some Steem, Steem Backed Dollars or Steem Power. (As you maybe can tell, I'm very much a beginner to all these new concepts).
What are you going to write about?
Well, maybe I won't be writing that much at all. Maybe this blog will be the first in a row, maybe it's the only one I'll ever write over here. As an ENTP-type (Google that if you're unfamiliar with it) I'm someone who is keen on trying new things, but also easily distracted by newer things. But that having said, I will give you some topics I'm interested in at the moment, and where I will at least try to read about, upvote or curate. So if you write about ...
- Cryptocurrency
- Traveling
- Languages
- Innovative journalism
- Geopolitics
- (The war on) drugs
- Neoliberalism vs populism
... you just might grab my attention! And maybe, just maybe.. I will grab yours.

Welcome to steemit @grensgeluiden.
Welcome the new steemians. Have a great day!
Welcome @Grensgeluiden you seem like an interesting individual
That sounds like a pretty cool job, I'm sort of interested in copywriting.. If you could give me any advice about that what would it be?
Guess I'm taking a risk by spending time responding if this might be the only post you ever do, but oh well! Maybe it'll be worth my while and you'll stick around and we will interact more in the future. :)
Those are some good topics you're interested in and I share some of those as well, and yeah! Who knows.. Maybe we'll grab each others attention.
If I could give you some advice I would say to try to find some communities to be a part of as they can make a big difference here on steem and be very rewarding and valuable to be a part of. A good one is @steemitbloggers and also I help host a contest/community called the @ifc or Information Finding Championship it's a neat group and we try to do a different quest each week when the game is in season, there's quite a few supportive people who will likely leave feedback on your entries and you may even make some friends!
In addition to that I would suggest to try to socialize and go to other peoples pages and leave comments and check the #introduceyourself tag to connect with other new steemians.
And also just put out good content that people like and build up your following overtime.
If you have any questions about anything feel free to ask and I'll do my best to try to help! If I can't help I can probably find someone who can. Cheers and good luck on here. :)
Hi @apolymask. Thanks for the kind words. I just followed your @ifc group.
Hey there.. You're welcome! Glad to hear you followed the IFC! I'm sure you can find it on your own but here's a link to the most recent round, there's still a good amount of time to enter before it expires if you're interested. I look forward to seeing you around if you decide to join! :)
