HI SteemIT new and Fresh from the Netherlands
So.. here we are, my first post on the steemit network and proud to be able to post content to this fresh new platform! 
Over the next few days / weeks i'm going to figure out how to find my way on the steem platform and see how things work over here. First thing was reading post how to make the most out of your introduction post ;) . A very usefull post by teamsteem.

So as you can see in my introduction message I'm from the Netherlands and I just recently created an account at steemit. Steemit got my attention after I was doing some minor investments in Ethereum and some other cryptos.
I'm at the age of 35 and father of 2 beautiful kids (2 and 4 yrs old). I'm working as a consultant in the (big) data industry.
Welcome to steemit :D
Have a nice day.

Greetings mastahb, I hope you enjoy it here!
I have observed that people get upset or frustrated when they ask someone to follow them, and that doesn’t occur. There was a reason, following someone was reserved for someone whom you identified with, or you enjoyed their posts, things of that nature.
That kind of following is almost negligible now, since everyone wants to be followed no matter what they have to offer. I have found a sort of solution.
Now days, I follow whomever I comment upon; no matter what. I ask too, that they follow me; I will up vote them as well, if they provide decent content. If I don’t really appreciate their posts, I mute them. Problem solved. So I will follow you, please follow me.
FYI: you actually get more rewards if you up vote others posts, and comment/reply to your own postings. In other words, the more people you help, the more people help you.
I, @carltong, have all kinds of information on my blog, including faucets for free coin. Check my blogs out for that data, as this welcome greetings is just that, a sincere welcome to the greatest social platform on Planet Earth.
I would share two more things with you; first and foremost AVOID BITCOINSBRAIN! It is a HYIP site that stole about $1000 from me. It is a scam. Here is my take on HYIP’s.
IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT’S NOT TRUE!
I was so gullible on BitcoinsBrain, that I took all my other coins and invested them into this fund. I was still texting and sending messages a full two weeks after they quit paying me. I could not grasp that I had been ripped off.
Secondly, @jerrybanfield is perhaps the strongest Steemian on Steem today. Check his site out for a free tutorial on how to use Steem. I took it and have learned plenty.
I hope things go well for you on here and once again, WELCOME to STEEMIT!!!
Sincerely,
@carltong
