#IntroduceYourself - Greetings from @rival for SteemIt Community!

Dear Steemians, My name Is Ron, I am very excited. I started some weeks ago and I think now is the time for a proper #introduceyourself  

I First heard about Steemit when I was struggling with my first crypto purchases. See my very first blog: https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@rival/1-month-after-my-first-bitcoin-purchase-may-2017

 I was in a Slack channel and they mentioned Steemit. I never had FB because I think it’s just full of commercials and never attracted me to post. But this concept about a public blockchain and that you can earn some money with content was for me the reason to make the first step in June 2017 

About Me: 42 years old. ( 3 days ago was my birthday) Living together for 15 years with my wonderful girlfriend and have 2 kids a daughter (12 years) and a boy (10 years). We also have our own  house bird “Nemo” . I live in a small village in the Netherlands. 

Last 2 years I work as a Functional IT specialist were I “try” to implement improved business processes which help a company grow. These processes are the golden eggs of a company. Before I was more technical IT, but this will slowly die because in a few years all technical platforms will be just factories in big datacenters. You can make the difference in business processes!! 

Hobbies 

-Tennis
-Golf
-Fishing
-Geocache 

My Goal is to use Steemit.com and this community as a source for information and sharing some nice content to you all. I started posting my favorite music. (28 days in a row now) 

Dream: In the year 2019 I want to go with my family on a once in a lifetime holiday to the west coast of the USA. I hope Steemit earnings can contribute to fulfil this dream. See blog: https://steemit.com/travel/@rival/help-needed-west-coast-usa-what-to-see-on-once-in-a-lifetime-family-vacation-2017620t21552720z    

Special thanx to some steemians who supported me or gave me some decent advice how to (not) use steemit:
