#introduceyourself ...Gotta Start Somewhere!!

in #introduceyourself7 years ago

Hi Everybody. Obviously I'm new here and this is my first post...Now I know your thinking well Duh!, but I guess one has to start somwewhere. bitmoji-1569913930.png

A little about me and how I got here, I was born,raised and still live in New Jersey,USA.(for now) I've had every job imaginable. Retail sales, labor, garbageman ect.. then me and a buddy of mine bought a bar and I ran that for 8 years, and I've also been a OTR Truck Driver. Somehow in between all of that I managed to be a musician, singing and playing guitar which is my true passion, and the one thing I still do after all these years. I like to try differnt things, travel and explore all that life has to offer. There is a quote "Life is a Buffet, but most people are starving to death" I just don't want to be one of those hungry people...lol

Anyway..I've been involved in cryptos for a couple of years now, and it's actually become more of a full time job, I own a bunch of GPU mining rigs, and a couple of ASIC machines, and a bunch of cloud mining contracts.

I am getting into Steemit though, not necessarily from a crypto angle, but from more of a music promotion angle coupled with a helping of "I hate Facebook"..Does that make any sense?...LOL

I became more interested in Steemit after watching some Youtube videos with Trevon James, Craig Grant and guys like that. So I learned a little more about it and decided to dive in. Im excited to be a part of a community that values content, and both parties involved can benefit, and not just lost in a sea of crap like FaceBook. There I go again..raggin' on FB, yes, i know I have a profile, and a band profile, and i'm not trying to be a hypocrite, but I am just not that fond of it.. There is more for me to learn, but I'm hoping to do that along the way.

Now... The band is called DogHouse Swine. Its a touring Hard Rock/ Punk band based out of NJ, and is signed to independent label Manta Ray records from Baltimore. You can follow us on Facebook(eww..yuck..), Spotify, Twitter or you can learn more about us on our website www.doghouseswine.com

It's Hard Rock/Punk, it's not for everybody, and I don't expect everybody to like it. If you do like that kind of music, then I hope you find it entertaining and wanting to dig a little further..yay!

I'm going to be posting more content about the band, videos, pics ect..I have quite a bit..but I also will probably do some stuff on Crypto, with some pics of my rigs and such. Maybe give some of my insight on it

Oh and I guess here are the obligatory mining referal links, If you use any of these links let me know and I'll try and use yours in return

Welcome to Steem Community @ian4221! As a gentle reminder, please keep your master password safe. The best practise is to use your private posting key to login to Steemit when posting; and the private active key for wallet related transactions.

Crazy how much bots are already active, they should do something about that! Still welcome dude. I don't want you to follow me, just take your time to find everything out about the platform, I gave you an upvote, if you have questions, just reply to this post! Have a nice day

Btw I hope you don't follow these bots ;)

Thank You, How do I know whats a bot and whats not?

Hard to tell, but I would say when they make advertisement for there own channel it is mostly just a bot. If someone asks something about your post it would be a person.
If you look at most of the comments they are just self advertising, or am I wrong?

Ok, hmm..good to know, thank you for the tip!

Np, it should not happen too often, they are posting mostly on the introduceyourself section ;)

Hello ! I am @minnowhelp, nice to meet you @Ian4221,
I do track some @booster upvote runs and try to figure out, if this booster upvote really giving a value.
With this upvotes you can earn some money here, if they provide a value. That's what I am testing for new Steemians !

Im my session#1 I tracked amongst other users the upvote boost of @mahdiyari, he boosted his post value to $6.63 , which was $5.08 more than before the booster upvote !
And that with just an investment of $1.96 !

So if you want to see the results of my work, feel free to follow me @minnowhelp
