I've read that when making intro post, you should prove your identity... I made an intro video to help with legitimacy, as well to try this dtube thing out:

I found out about steemit researching different cryptos back in December when everything was taking off. I'm looking for a facebook alternative in light of the recent developments the past couple weeks, I like the layout of this site, and I dig the fact that almost everyone here is into crypto!

I'm likely using steemit to post primarily photos of things special in Maine- landmarks, events that may be unique to Maine, coasts, mountains, deserts, forests, plants, animals, all that stuff. I want to give locations and reviews of little-known hikes around my state, so there is a repository of knowledge for this info (even if it's in an obscure place). I really love our world, but I've noticed that even in my state it is slowly changing.. so I want to document the changes while enjoying as much as I possibly can. Perhaps I can motivate some of you to check out public trails or land trusts around you? Maybe someone in China is curious what the other side of the world looks like? If nothing else, steemit will help me track my adventures. I'll hopefully interact with some great people in this community along the way; I've been a member of a couple other obscure online groups (shout out to anyone on here from luelinks or ETI), and met some people who turned into wonderful, lasting lifelong friendships.. so please feel free to interact if you're looking to chat, I'm friendly =)

Here's some pics I've taken:

Some old relic I discovered atop an even older mountain trail in Southern Maine.. anyone know what this is!? (there was another about a half mile away...)

just a charming little tree on a trail through a marsh. I thought it looked neat during foliage season...

Snow sculpture I built to RAISE AWARENESS FOR STEEMIT! =D

Thanks for watching/reading. If you are curious about the great state of Maine, or ever may be interested in any of the hobbies I listed above... a give me a follow. I look forward to becoming a part of the community!

Haha man that Steemit Snow sculpture is sick :D
Btw. - I would suggest you check out @czechglobalhosts daily picture contests for your pics!
Resteeming you for some publicity!
Greets, @theaustrianguy

Great intro @iceflame12. Good job!

Thanks... I spent time actually reading and researching steemit and looking at some others to get an idea. I want to be thorough.
Crypto has taught me you really shouldn't be half-assing complex new technologies, so I endeavor to be an informed, competent member of this community

Welcome to Steemit! I hope you’ll enjoy being here as much as I do.

I love that snow sculpture!

You might find these YouTube videos useful. They are created specifically to help new Steemers grow and be successful on Steemit and will be posted on the @steemitvideos account as well.

This is great man, I'm halfway through the vid now. I appreciate the quality advice

You're welcome! I'm happy to hear that the videos are helping you out. Feel free to leave comments directly on the YouTube videos or on the @steemitvideos posts if you have any questions!

Welcome to our community, I wish you good luck, remember that perseverance is your best option

Yeah, this post has already definitely exceeded my expectations. I'm going to try and stay consistent with at least one post a week, regardless of how they're received.

Hello and welcome! You've got some beautiful pics there. I'm just a few days old myself and trying to figure out this site still, haha. Well good luck and may you get many followers!

I think you would love to hike the trails around my house, has amazing views.
(ps-love the Steemit ice sculptures)

Forgot to add, upvoted your post.. Have a great day...

Dig the steemit snow sculptures, a nice way to introduce. Welcome @iceflame12 Upvoted :)

I quite FB over 8 years ago, went to G+ for a while, but that got, ehrm, weird (and echo chamber like). Steemit has been a great experience thus far. Get active, search around for things you are interested in and post quality content, people will come and check it out :) Nice to meet you I'm @danielshortell and I write short fiction here on steemit. take care!

Hah, yeah I want to attempt to incorporate the steem symbol in every hike I do somehow.. either wear attire, or leave a mark or create something in the environment like that. On most hikes I'll likely take the easy way out and draw on a tree with a sharpie or something =)

Hello welcome to steemit!! it's really nice to have you here enjoy the platform and explore the community.....wish you all the best.

Dude! This is a freakin' epic intro post! Totally freakin' smashed it!
I'm in Oregon and so I'm loving the forests here, but I've heard Maine is the other big state for natural beauty. Hope we see more photos from you, you're a really good photographer. Maybe check out @photofeed?

If you ever have any questions about Steem or the various platforms, please do feel free to ask, I know it can be confusing sometimes, so I'm totally happy to help!

Have fun!

Hey man, thanks for the tip I'll definitely check out photofeed when I have time! I love taking pics. Right now most of those pics you saw were taken on my google pixel.. I'm going to get some lens attachments because I read that wide-angle shots are MUCH better, and I could use a better zoom than what the phone has to offer.
I've followed you and will keep you in mind for any questions I may have. Thanks for the comment and welcoming me to the community.

Welcome to Steemit, Mike!

I also like to hike, particularly up large mountains.

Glad to see other like-minded outdoor enthusiasts joining this platform.

Looking forward to your future hiking pics!
