My Introduction to Steemit

tonyortega (46)in #introduceyourself • 4 years ago

Hey guys! My name is Antonio Ortega and I'm from Mexico. I'm married and a happy father of three beautiful kids: Alejandro, Fatima and Antonio. Here's a picture with me and little Tony.

I'm from one of the most beautiful places in my country, Taxco.

Here in Taxco we're well known silversmiths, so in my hometown you can find some of the most beautiful works made in silver.

In fact I've been working with silver since I was 8 years old (equeal to 29 years of experience). Some of this time working in the workshop and some more time selling silver jewelry to the turists who comes to Taxco.

During this time I remeber someday that I was trying to sell to a guy from Germany a nice silver necklace just like this.

But the guy wanted to pay me with a digital asset called "Bitcoin", and I really didn't know what he was talking about...

However, I'm a person who always like to know things, so I told this guy to wait for five minutes for me to understand what Bitcoin was.

So, I went to my computer to research about the famous Bitcoin and I just got shocked about the project.

"Even if I couldn't exchange those Bitcoins right in that moment, I could exchange them sometime in near future" I thought...

So I downloaded a Bitcoin wallet on my phone and I accepted my first Bitcoin payment!

And one week later I could exchange those Bitcoins in a website called localbitcoins.com

From that experience, I started researching a lot about cryptocurrencies, blockchain and the new ICOs projects.

So, in this blog I'll be sharing with you some analysis about this topic.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Welcome to the Steemit community @tonyortega!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Eight suggestions to consider:

Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect,
The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit,
be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
An introduceyourself tag is used only once, and
When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.
Do NOT open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Steeming!
