Artist and Crypto-Investor - Excited for the future.

This is a second attempt at an introduction because I'm really not happy with the first one.

So, I've never really been one to share my thoughts with others but I've slowly developed a conviction that has changed my mind about this...

There is nothing more fascinating than the fact that we humans have developed self-awareness and intelligence, such as has never occurred in the known universe. It is so taken for granted that we are able to study and understand, with more and more clarity, the nature and inner working of reality, and even our own brains perceiving it! And each of us has this ability... Like a Marvel hero super-power that our species has gained in an evolutionary race, with which we have become the “masters” of the planet and soon might extend our reach farther still.

It is this that inspires me. I am one of these heroes, as are you.

The conviction I was getting at is, I feel it necessary that we share with each other our unique perspectives as we, with our one life-time, do our thing here on Earth; that we learn from and get inspired by each other as much as possible to create a better future. I'm looking forward to sharing my own experiences with you all and look forward to finding like-minded people here on Steemit, which seem like an ideal platform for finding and spreading good content. Please share with me your own ideas, convictions and achievements in a comment below. How do your "super-powers" manifest themselves? ;)

Here is a recent image of me with my art:

A few basic details about me...:

I teach English for a living, in Brazil, where I live with my wife.

I enjoy reading, a lot. Nabakov and Dostoevsky are my favourite from the great classics, but I love science fiction too, with Dune by Frank Herbert being my favourite in the genre.

I've recently gotten into crypto-investing and am finding it fascinating and rewarding. It has taken up a lot of my time recently... One big intention with my Steemit account is to share what I learn from my experiences so that others can learn from my mistakes/good fortunes...

I've always loved gaming... To me, games are works of art. Of course you get your doctor's office pieces ;P But you also get masterpieces like Skyrim. They are my second favourite way to relax (reading being the first).

I'm annoyed that I'll have to die some day. Really and truly. I've given it a lot of thought and I would definitely choose immortality or at least an extended lifespan if I had the chance.
